Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Thanks, I just did the shade thing last night. I actually printed this on strips of paper and hand stuck/laminated the frames together with packing tape. My friends and I stuck it on a home made reel-to-reel contraption thing and played it my using a strobe light as a shutter. It hurts to watch, but it works!

Hey, just thought I'd post this here. It's a long way from being finished, and a lot of clean up needs to be done, but what the hey.

Any ideas instead? I really want to install a major restriction to maximize creativity.

Hey guys, as I was saying in my news post, I've been thinking of starting a new art collab! Remember The Tricolor Collab? Well, I want to do something like that again, applying a restriction to the viewer that they can turn into a freedom of creativity. Let's get to it.

The theme is the Deep Ocean, or Abyssopelagic or Bathyal Zones, if you want to get technical. I feel that this is an area of the world that we know nothing about, yet it's one of the most fantastic. In fact, we've explored less than 1% of it!

So the art idea of the collaboration is to create a 600x600 pixel piece that features a creature or feature of the deep oceans. You have to abide by these rules:

1. The background must be a very dark colour, almost black. Yes, black is allowed as well.
2. Your strongest lines/outlines must be a very light colour, almost white, and yes; white is allowed as well.
3. You must feature at least three vibrant colours. Don't ask me how, that's up to you.
4. You must have fun.

Knowing you guys, I shouldn't have to say this, but just in case:

I know that we all want good quality work to become known, so make sure you put a lot of effort into this. I won't accept a drawing that you've only spent 45 minutes on, unless you're Adam Phillips/some good artist. Don't worry though, if I don't accept you at first, you can always try again with something new or revised.

So here are the technical specifications:

Dimensions: 600x600 pixels
Colours: Almost black background, almost white outlines, and three vibrant colours of your choice.
File format: .PNG (Post a .jpeg preview in this thread, followed by a link to the .PNG please.)
Content Rating: I don't care if you make something profane or crude, just make it really fucking good.
Signature: Be sure to sign the image, and make the piece's filename: USERNAME_TITLE OF PIECE. This will help me to tell who did what. (Obviously.)

EACH PERSON IS LIMITED TO 3 PIECES.

As some of you will want to know, I'll select the top nine people who contributed to this collab to be co-authors. Try hard!

Anywho, the deadline will be NOVEMBER FIRST 2010. Have all of your pieces in by then.

If you're looking for a great inspiration and reference, I recommend this

So have fun, and get creating, you guys!

I guess I should post the video here then.

Watch the result.

Wow! It worked, and in amazing quality too! Thank you so much my friend!

Hey guys, so I have this .swf, and I need to export it to an .avi.
The converter that I normally use (Moyea swf to video converter pro) is missing a root file and can no longer run. Does anyone have a swf to video converter that can work with a v-cam at high quality?
I really need to get this done.

Thanks.

Looking good!

Kinda looks like Marilyn Manson.

Haha, it is pretty fun, I guess!

All done!
Colours used (Slider form): LINK

Finished Product: PING

Haha! Nice one you guys!

Making one.

Damn, alright. I might do this.

So let me get this straight:

Can we disregard the template as long as we don't go out of the box limits?
