3D Hentai Imports.

Haha, they're in for a treat. I was with the Junior Rangers up in Yellowknife. Fun stuff.

I agree. I mean, it's not like I think we need to scrap them NOW, but we need a replacement, and the F-35 is probably our best bet. The CF-18 should hold us until then.
Where are YOU based? I never heard anything like that, and I only left recently...

And I think this can be equated more easily to the CH-146 program. We had the chance to buy the Blackhawk, and w were going to, but the government got all squirelly with money, and we had to settle for the CH-146, which is just a Bell 416 in green paint, really.

Well, it's simply about the rapid advancement of technology. The F-18 was hot shit 20 years ago, but for a long period of time, aviaton didn't advance much. Because of this, it had a good run of being one of the bes in the world for years. But in the late 90's, advances in computer technology, as well as materials and manufacturing abilities, have let us do things in the aviation world that were thought impossible 20 years ago. The F-35 was created to be second only to the F-22, and the fact that it'll be quite some time (read: decades) before it is surpassed, along with the aircraft being designed to be upgraded, as well as conflicting interests in the Manned vs. Unmanned Combat Aircraft debate, should give it a lifespan of about 50 years.

My apologies. I should have been a little clearer.

Yeah, well, Haper's getting twitchy about Canadian soverignty in the Arctic, so that may have helped his decision a little....

Also known as Iggy's Big Yap (With a little help from Jack Harris).

So the Opposition here in Canada thinks we don't need Lockheed Martin's newest venture, the F-35 Lightning II. "We don't need it!" Ignatieff whines. "The case has not been proved that Canada needs this fighter!" "We're in a $54 billion defecit!"

Really? You want proof, Iggy? How about that our CF-18's are nearly 30 years old? Sure, we just put 79 CF-18s through the Incremental Modernization Program, but past 2017, those old birds are garbage. In fact, they're pretty much trash now! Sure, when we got them in 1982, they were TEH HARDCOREZ, top of the line, awesome interceptors. That was 28 years ago. Now? The airframes are aging, hours and hours of flight time are accumulating, and it's time they were put to pasture.

Plus, you know what, Iggy? They suck. The CF-18 was cool 20 years ago, but nowadays, Brazil could kick our asses in an air war (Especially if they get those Rafales, XD).

You think it's not worth it? Well, how about the fact that 10 of those "wasteful" aircraft could RAEP our fleet of fighters. And what about the fact that Canada has invested over $150 million in the project, and that Canadian firms have gobbled up about $350 million worth of work because of it? It seems our industries are happy about the project, so don't piss on our parade.

And NDP MP Jack Harris? Change your tampon and look at the facts.

"Is this really a priority for the Canadian taxpayer? Do we need 65 new fighter jets?" You ask?

YES. WE DO. As much as I hate Harper and his government, he did the right thing. The Canadian Forces rarely get shiney new toys like this, and when they do, they invariably come under fire for it. This time, critics like you claim that the F-35 is "too much aircraft" for Canada and what we do?

Perhaps. But you know what? This fine aircraft could easily be going strong 50 years from now. As big as this purchase is, and as much as you don't like it, this could be the kick in the ass our aviation industry needs.

It's not secretive. We've been a part of this since the beginning. Just because you don't like Harper's choice, don't make us suffer. To avaoid this project could have major implications on our national defense, but you don't seem to care.

*Sigh* I'm done. Anyone else have an opinion on this crap?

Well, for any iPod Touch/iPhone gamers, I'm looking for a few people (9-20) to help me out by letting me "recruit" them on the online FPS, Eliminate Pro. The only catch is that you can't have played EP before, or I won't actually gain anything. Why do I want this? 'Cause I can get new items, and who knows? You might enjoy it, too. That's how I got into it. :3

As long as you have an app that plays on the +Plus network, I can recruit you, as long as you allow me to know your username. (No, you can't steal info that way, thank god.)

I'm not even asking you to play. As long as I recruit you, and you sign into the game, that's it! You can delete the app or whatever.

Please at least consider it.

Hm, could I join? And if so, could I just hand-draw it on some lined paper and scan it in? Or can I have my colorist color my work (per usual) and superimpose it on the template?

Hm, well, I don't think there have been.

Would there e a drawing per page or would the camera scan across the page from box to box?

Hm, that's a good question. Probably the latter, since we can put in cool effects that way. :3

Would there be any double page spread equivalents, cause there usually my favorite pats in comics.

Oh, yeah.

I'm curious and i'll check back at this thread later for any developments.

Good to know!

Well, I've seen the script, and it isn't THAT bad. My concern is how well I can actually draw a comic.

You know, I'm not sure. Both could work, but it's up to RED. I'm just the artist.

Ok, well, I've decided to gauge the general feeling of NG towards the latest idea posed by the head of a collab I'm on.

So, our animator walked out on us. This isn't good, but the project lead, RED-X, has proposed we continue with a new idea; a comic book rendered in Flash. I'll be doing the art, with my colorist making it look good, and we envision things like scrolling text, and flipping pages, to liven it up. Of course, we'll be throwing in little bonuses, like a character design gallery, and staff bios, plus Easter eggs. Hell, we'd put medals in if we could. It's not much, but without an animator, it's really all we got.

So, what do you think, Newgrounders? Would this fly? Would you be interested? Any ideas to change it or liven it up are cool, but I'm just trying to get a feel on how well this idea would be recieved...

So, just need some help. Can someone help me find a Screen/Snap of that scene from V for Vendetta with the baby photo in the trash? I really want to draw that. It was just so...moving. I don't know why.
Anyway, help is appreciated.

Ok, Thanks!

Hm, some people asked me to draw the characters for an upcoming collab, but I'm new to this. My question is this;
I already know how to draw people, but how does a drawing come to life? Should I add things not normally seen in my art, like joints? Any advice on how to make my art convert into animations would be helpful. :3

Making assumptions and assertions of which you have neither the authority or knowledge of anyone or anything of the subject at hand.

Excuse me? I fly the CH-146 for a living. I know more about aircraft than you may ever hope. I'm constantly having to answer questions from civvies, but when they ask about stupid shit like this, it just pisses me off. There are no aliens at Groom Lake Bed. It's where they test new aircraft designs and technology before it can go public. The extensive security is to protect their secrets from enemy Intelligence Officers and whatnot. The nearby towns are all sworn to secrecy, too, or so I've heard.

Roswell happened in...1957, I believe.

You are wrong. Every source points to July 1947. I don't know where you got that year. Fox news right?

No, I just tried to remember off the top of my head. Fuck Fox News. They're too biased.

Actually, more false UFO photos used buttons, or were altered while in development.

Why? It's so much easier and far less time consuming to use a hat or hubcap from the 30's and 40's which is when most of these suspicious pictures of UFOs that look shockingly similar to hats or hubcaps from that era and no need for photo editing.

Yes, but it has been shown that early "UFO" pictures were doctored with chemicals and whatnot in the darkroom.

I agree with the rational people here who think you are either mentally unbalanced, or a complete retard.

Don't give a fuck what you or anyone else here or anywhere else thinks who could think such a thing.

Haha, good for you, I guess.

This is funny.
Bungee-powered ejection seats were invented in 1910.
The modern design as we know it was invented in 1929 by Anastase Dragomir.
The design was perfected during WWII, and used on aircraft like the Heinkel He 280, the He 219 night-fighter, the Saab 21, the Saab 17, and the He 162.
On 17 August 1946, 1st Sgt. Larry Lambert was the first live American ejectee.

Oh, I'm sorry. Perhaps your confused? I said ROCKET POWERED EJECTOR SEATS. ROCKET POWERED EJECTOR SEATS. RO-CKET POW-ER-ED E-JECT-OR SEATS. You know the kind that fire the little rockets of fire that send the seat higher, farther and harder in order to get clear of an exploding jet fighter flying subsonic speeds and up once a section of the canopy is ejected. Are we clear now? This is the kind of ejector seat that set the standard for every modern jet fighter which didn't start from 1956

1958, actually. Martin-Baker designed them for the old Delta Dart. Wrong again!

:and will continue so long as pilots are people and not computers.
There will ALWAYS be a human in control, even if he or she is not in the actual aircraft. We have UNMANNED Aircraft, not AUTONOMUS Aircraft. There is a difference...

:In order to accomplish this safely a pilot must descend below 25,000 ft and be traveling at subsonic speeds.
Again? Most seats these days can be used around or JUST above the Sound Barrier, and can be fired up to about 50,000 feet. Not to mention Zero-Zero seats. Ooh! And those badass ones the Russians use on the Ka-50.

:ejecting higher than 30,000 ft with no respirator is bad. Ejecting at Mach 2.3 you'll be doing 50 Gs equivalent to being sat on by a hippo and there is a limit to the amount of times a pilot can do this in their lifetime. Ejecting at any higher than Mach 3 would be fatal.
You mean ejecting CONVENTIONALLY at "any higher than Mach 3" would be fatal. Most aircraft like bombers and super-high speed recon aircraft use crew capsules to protect them. They usually use more powerful rockets and chutes.

What was your point again?

What's yours? You think that by getting loud and shitty to compensate for the fact you haven't done any actual research on the subject matter that you can bring me down.

Pfft. Fuck Research. I've been studying aircraft before you were born, boy. And now I fly them.
Oh, and getting most of your facts wrong really doesn't help you look better than me.
How did you say it, again? Oh yeah; "Try again."

It's nice, but go a bit easier on the color pencil to add in some shading.

These are really just the lines. My colorist will color them later, this is just to show him what should be what color.

Oh, yeah, I guess I'll throw this up, too....

I'm just trying something new, here....

Hm, what do you think of this little Kitsune TF design? I can't find the original, though...

Ok, so I saw that live-action Halo "fan film", the one with the Museum of Humanity, the Marine getting shot by a Spiker, and the old guy remeniscing about the war.

My question is this: Who made the armor and replica weapons for the Marines in that film? Was is Peter Jackson and his studios? Also, does anyone know roughly how much it cost to make a single set? I can't find that info anywhere...
