OH yeah that's the place where you work fora dealt time to g to heaven! :D!

I also think it's a place where those who didn't know about Jesus, or persons who were never baptized go.

You do know Jesus doesn't exist, right?

Me too, but everyone knows drummers aren't real musicians.

Epic rofl.

I would laugh, but most of Newgrounds is socially retarded, so this is actually quite relevant...

To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.

I'll boycott, why not? Hey that kinda rhymes...

I know a lot of people are going to hate me for saying this, but I love Pixar! Ratatouille was, just, amazing. Of course, I love everything Brad Bird does too, so, yeah...

This forum needs a bloody edit...

Hey, I don't remember seeing this thread before! Here's a teapot I did a while ago. Now I know Max has a teapot as one of its primitives, but I actually made this one a long time ago in a program called Electric Image.

Alright, so I want to bring this up because I found it really encouraging; especially since I'm in art school right now and I'm learning next to nothing about the technical aspects of observational drawing, which I'm suspecting is a trend in the general college atmosphere.

Everyone knows about modern art, and most normal folk wonder why museums and collectors give these "artists" the time of day. I love coming to this forum, though, because everyone here seems to have their head on straight about how art should be.

Anyway, Sometime around the end of WWII, the art world took a dive that has been snowballing ever since. Art was suddenly meant to make a political message, and for some reason, the classic concepts of beauty and composition were scoffed at as being old fashioned. Now, living in an era dominated by this idiotic thinking, I hear teachers saying that expression is more important than technical skill. "Oh, it doesn't look like what you were trying to make, but it has such intensity!" (She said about the paint dripped canvas.)

All of my ranting aside (I deleted most of it for your reading convenience), there is still hope! There's an artistic movement that is just staring to gain attention now, and I think it's going to save art. It's called Classical Realism, and it's focused on looking back to the Greco-Roman/Renaissance ideals of naturalism. Wikipedia can explain it better than me; I just wanted to get this out there because I think it could be really important for our future as artists.

Oh and just to keep from being banned, here's my attempt at a classical portrait.

Yeah, they must have changed something.

That's just the thing though, I've done monthly voting before. Quite a lot, actually. So that's why I'm confused.

It seems like I've been in this category a few times, even though I hardly ever used to vote on stuff. I've done a lot more surfing than usual this month and I don't have access to monthly voting... So, does it count submissions along with voting and reviews? That's the only thing I can think of.

Anyway, what do people think will win the monthlies? I think Swain will get 1st for Mastermind. A lot of people will be sad he submitted on the 31st, lol!

That is really disgusting...

Don't put this in the art forum, either, unless you want to get flamed. It really doesn't belong anywhere.

Use variables.

Also, try this tutorial. It'll teach you everything you will ever need to know.

Sorry, I don't get it. Upload the swf so we can see what you're talking about.

Try putting the code inside the movieclip. That way it'll work on all of them.

Temp = duplicateMovieClip(_root.ben, "ben2"+i,i )
Temp._x = Stage.width * Math.random()
Temp._y = Stage.height * Math.random()

I rofled.

Sorry guys, use the second link, the first one was fullscreen, which will lag like a mofo.

Sorry buddy, most people here don't have artistic talent either. Luckily, you can get away with drawing like crap; using a Linkin Park song is a sure bet for the top 50!

Actually, use this link. The full screen one will lag like crehzeh...

Alright, I've been working on a sequel to Shen Long: CLICK TO PLAY

Basically I need to know the following:
-Are the controls good? (I got a lot of complaints last time)
-What framerate are you running at? (the number in the top right)
-What would you add? (Powerups, enemies, collectables)

If you use the "Text Area" component you can just make it whatever size you want and it'll automatically wrap text and add a vertical scrollbar when needed. It's pretty limited beyond that though.

Haha, I love how everyone's taking pictures of the bridge.

I've been reading about this movie. The method is called paint on glass animation. Basically, they paint each frame with oil paint. Personally, I think it looks even more sophisticated than 3D. Though that new disney movie Rapunzel is supposed to look like a moving painting.

Yeah, I've never seen those before. It's a really simple concept, though. You just draw the vectors onto a bitmap and blur them so they leave a trail. It's the same thing used in this game, where I got the idea.

Err, no, I made it from scratch. Look, I even stuck my name in the bottom left of this one: http://spamtheweb.com/ul/upload/160308/8 4055_Fireworks.php
