...why don't you, Himynameisjacob and CrazyRock form a team! You could grab someone else [that signed up but was omitted] to be your 4th. Problem solved.

Got our team together... got a pipeline project set up! ...got it goin' on!
Good luck everyone!!! :D

KURT: you need a built in chat! lol!!

let's say you have several questions about the same thing... how about you keep them all in one thread!

...and yes, this belongs in the animation forum.

No need for a new thread, just put it in your other one.

...spread what now?

Happy Birthday! :D

HI BEN!!!! :D

...anyone want a christmas card?!

Got mine done! Will send it off tomorrow. I have extra, if anyone wants one!

Can you please stop using alts to talk to yourself and promote that Moyea thing. Put it in your sig and/or news posts.

icon, wiki and genre mods don't have gold auras... at this time!

Ok, here's the latest... Otto and I will be teaming up, and if it's okay with Twisted, she will be teaming up with kashi.

That leaves AcidicSavior (unscouted). If anyone is available to team up, please step forward!!

otto and kashi... access granted!! Awaiting confirmation from Twisted!

Might also be wise to show what the other characters/art looks like so people can gauge whether they can match the style or not.

Just a heads up... I've heard of more than one case of people getting into trouble for using a flying toaster. Threats of legal action or what have you. So you might want to pull that out now before you get too far.

I think 'awesome snowboard' is too hard to read. 'x treme' isn't at the same angle/perspective, and 'treme' is hand-drawn (which is a personal pet peeve of mine lol) so it looks a bit sloppy. The X ...well, all the elements, really... come in too slow and far apart.

Totally diggin' the abominable snowman with guitar! I think he should be a bigger focal point. Maybe move the dude on the bottom to the top, ditch the toaster and balance it out that way (in other words, all three characters above the title).

I'm not a fan of the yellow... maybe try playing with some other colors/combos (all blue sky, add other colors to the characters, etc.)

I have the same problem... most times it's because it's not going the way I want and/or I lose interest. I gotta 'feel' it or I know it'll be total crap! lol

It usually helps me if I have a deadline or other people waiting on me, expecting me to finish. Then I have more than myself to think about. That's why most of the things I do finish are for collabs or contests... and why I could never art as a jorb!! I'd go insane!! lol

He just saved you from being banned from the Art Portal... I'd say that's a pretty big service indeed!

Yeah there are!! That's an ass-load of cash and store credit right there!!
Thanks for having these fun contests and being so damn generous, Tom!

If anyone needs a suggestion on what to purchase with their winnings, I recommend the 2012 Calendar!!! ;)

Congrats again to everyone!

Yeah, congrats to all the winners!! :D

Game Jam 6 ...anyone signing up?

Collab Thread Rules.

Seems there was an ambush and we lost a copilot in the dogfight.
The battle rages on.

REMINDER: ROLL CALL #1!!
Don't forget to check in by Wednesday!

Probably won't boot anyone at this point, what with the holiday and all, but if you're dropping out, PLEASE have the courtesy to let us know NOW instead of waiting until the last minute and jeopardizing the mission.

Thanks ;)

Better idea would be letting a mod host it. I nominate Auz and/or Bahamut :)

ROLL CALL #1!!

check in on pipeline by the 23rd or you may be sidelined to desk duty.

Caught a couple quick glimpses in stickam the other day... was pretty impressed!! Can't wait for the full progress report!! :D

At 11/17/11 12:01 PM, LegolaSS wrote: is this going to be via pipeline?... or via newgrounds pm's?... just so i know which one to keep my eyes on :D

You really should be checking both. Like Luwano said... on pipeline, if you just check the activities tab every couple/few days you'll be able see all new posts, contributions, etc. So it's fairly easy to stay up to date!

Thanks to everyone that's contributed something already! :D

We did it last year ...small turn-out, but I think everyone eventually got their stuff.

Happy Birthday, Wade! :D

This symbol contains a button in it, that has 'on(press){play();}'

Any ideas at all of a gotoAndPlay type command that would, upon pressing the symbol, make it go to a specific frame and play it there?

So far all my efforts have failed to animate the symbol at a specific place, though it does animate it :/

Use frame labels ...make a keyframe at the location you want it to go to, then in the properties panel you can give it a label (can't start with a number, have weird characters or spaces) ...then use it in your code: _root.gotoAndStop("myLabel");

...another thread.

Key word there being "IT" ...you did nothing.

I think everyone here supports Jazza and all of his endeavors... but I doubt this was what he had in mind when he said putting it around would be cool... and even if it was... art forum rules still apply. Sorry.

Sad news... we've suffered our first casualty! ...a moment of silence for our fallen comrade...

*sad moment of silence* :'(

The good news is that Agent Sockembop will be stepping in to help out.
Also, Bilal has teamed up with secretagent10! Good luck guys!!

AcidicSavior, all spots are filled right now... and you would need to be scouted to get on the solo reserves list. You can try to find someone (already on assignment) to partner up with though.

And... just a heads up!! There will be a mandatory check-in coming up next Monday-Wednesday! Agents that fail to respond may be deactivated and their tasks reassigned! Please keep tabs on the situation and post wips as soon as you can!

over and out

That's also in the art forum rules.

Taking someone else's art and applying a few filters to it doesn't make it your own. You would need to trace it and recolor it completely! Just ask Occluded!! (wait, don't! ...no one should have to die that way!)
