Kind of thought outside the box for this one. Instead of drawing one intimidating pet that would piss off fat kids, I thought - hey, why not a whole bunch? ;)

ANND , since I know the quality will be raped:

haha awesome pic

I agree with WAC's opinion for the most part. I do remember the times when the users voted more fairly. It seems more and more people are figuring out what "sells," and then do what they have to do to make that. They cut corners, they draw poorly, whatever, but the idea is concrete behind it. PARODIES, VIDEOGAMES, etc. is the idea for the most part.

Occasionally a well animated cartoon will snag a spot in the top 50 that does not follow those guidelines. But usually it has to be very well done, done to the point even the voters cannot deny it their 5 which they whore out so easily to all the videogame parodies, and whatever else may be raping the top 50 page.

I don't think no matter how hard we bitch and moan about this, the situation is going to change either. Newgrounds has a lot of oblivious users who just goto the frontpage and 5 movies they like, so even if we did put out a good message not only probably most people wouldn't be affected by it, but a lot of people who are 5-ing these movies wouldn't even read it.

Jonbro I think is a good example of what I am talking about - except not so much oblivious. I'm pretty sure he 5s movies like these all day, everyday. For the most part people seem to jump to the conclusion that if the animation is not complete crap, and has a reference to some sort of game or tv show, it deserves a 5. Newgrounds's community standards are sinking lower everyday it seems.

I think the situation would be different if instead of copying the original creator's style, and drawing the character in your style and animating him like that would be more acceptable in my opinion. But really it's not, I mean look at the characters in that sonic short cartoon. Sad to say but I think Wonchop's was the most original.

It wasn't a terrible cartoon as far as animation goes, and it had a videogame parody plot. I think this strengthen's my opinion of "NOT SHIT ANIMATION + PARODY = 5". I think a fair score for the submission based on animation quality would be a 3. The same score "Anusboy" has, which has much better animation.

The same problem seems always to apper X gets overrated with bad animation but some sort of appealing plot. while Y with good animation gets underrated.
I'm sure this has been somewhat said before, but this is my two fucking cents on the matter.

how can newgrounds afford this?

this kid makes a very valid point, everyone stop what you're doing immediately and listen to this kids demands

FAGGOT

I just wasted my time then working on a part, cuz i will have NO time tmr =(

Whatever, I could beat that but that looks okay so i mighta aswell stop being a bitch and grab another part.

I'm glad I'm still making my part in this collab, it might be heck for me to meet this deadline but i've learned so much and even though I am as slow as snail I'm learning a lotta things

Still doing pt. 10 Luis ... slow as a snail =D

ulghhhhhh set back time. I've actually Improved my drawing techniques a lot in the piece, so I'm gonna have to go back and REDO the begning bit so it's in sync w/ the ending ...

Nearly, nearly done on mine ...

I like what I see !

Hey Luis, I want you to know that I'm working hard on part 10, but my animation is all over the place, so I can't really show you what I've done until basically I'm done. I'll be done in like a week or so, so please hold my spot.

Cheers,
David

Sup.

I changed to 10, I couldn't think of anything for 18 . Sorry, I don't even know if I could beat you out.

@ fenix

Looks like we'll be batling for the same part! But - i'll probably give up since I'm not even 2 seconds done my rough outline...

@ Hashbrown

Stop positing updates everytime I breath basically, it's looking cool so far, just stay focused n' GET'RDONEEEEEEE

I'm doing the ever so popular, 18a. Yeah, fight me. I'll either start now or tomorrow.

I hate sprites, but I don't hate randy. I hate Randy' movies however and don't tell me I'm pissed because I'm banned from that hellhole you call a forum, I left on my own free will. I am still technically a member, but I'd shot myself in the face before returning. I may whip something up out of hate for this contest actually.

My birthday is commin' up, so I need to get the low down of wacom. I could get a graphire for my birthday, or just get money and save up for the bigger intuos. But I wanna know if it's worth it. Besides extra keyboard shortcuts and larger size on the inuos, are there any differences? The intuos claims to be finer in productivity and that area, but is it really true - or just some scam so some sucker will think they have to have it. If I got a graphire I'd getta 6x8 one, so size won't be an issue. I have a wide screen monitor aswell. So please, help me outttttt!

Thanks everyone!

I recently upgraded to flash CS3. Flash CS3 is much more cleaned up. Nothing is really amazing new about it, but it takes things flash 8 has to offer and cleans them up. Like using the onionskin, tweens are more persist, flash recognizes more shapes and what not now. It really has a crisp feel to it, it also has a feature where you can do flash on your mobile, which I think is really neat-o. I prefer flash CS3 over 8, but it's not a huge upgrade, but where money is not a problem go for it. This is my opinion btw.

LOL, madness day? COOL!
