wow : )))

thanks for the kind words.
i usually work with pencil first.
this one the deadpool illustration was done with pen only, but only because i didn't expect it to be good.

these next ones:
1.
2.
were done with pencil then ink. India ink too.
if you think sharpie is dark, India ink is three times as dark, but it's really toxic so watch out : )

these are great guys.
both the before and afters : )

this is the latest.
so for the confusion earlier.

it's an elephant, and a zoo keeper.
cha!
thanks much

you guys have to let me know when you comment my art though....
so i can return the favor.

you should probably photoshop those lines out before submitting it
also shouldn't you put this in one of your older threads

ugh.
im so sorry.
if your a mod, feel free to lock this.

some contour/kinda blind drawing of an elephant.
did this in sign language class.

Is this good enough to be in the art portal.
I think it is. but i got yelled at before

I would help but my tablet is in need of repairs.
How much would yoube willing to work with the animator?

Im trying to animate explosions.
and im using sprites as a reference.
good idea or bad idea?
thanks much

-Joe.

you may just have to ask the creator of that flash, directly.

disney uses 25 fps.. or alteast they did in their old flims.
i was just wondering what was your average FPS and why : )
i just need help trying to narrow down the options.
thanks much

if you are using flash; then that uses layers.
so maybe you are painting on a different layer and you just need to either switch layers or make more frames in that specific layer.

On Frames How many is to much because doesnt it slow down your FPS when you have to many Frames because I keep duplicating the frames and moving the object inch per inch then as I play it the FPS does half way then I set it too. Help me?

this may be because your computer is lagging. You should upload it to your "flash dumping" grounds. to make sure.

Also Can you give me Helpful tips in makes a good flash I am a pretty good artist but i need the answers to make a good flash. Please and Thank you :D

and..... just watch animated films and take notes.

yes these are great. great great.
thanks.

I hate peter parker... in all of the new Spiderman games.
he is a fucking dick who has a huge god complex and talks to himself.
plus i hate him for neglecting Mary Jane... yes that's jealousy you hear.

it's always a good idea to stick to whatever you find inspiring.
and if this includes "mech pokemon" than go for it.
Im not a fan of these pieces you are posting. the second one looks really good. but..... i dont know.
stick with it dude : )
look at others works when you start to lose drive.
keep it up.

its a random clips of a guy smoking thrown together to make the longest smoke session ever!

any suggestions? I plan to touch up the art A LOT! but havent gotten around to it yet... and the background is coming too.. I was thinking a living room or something

for some reason it doesn't always play. I had to reload the page 3 times for it to work.
something seems off.... like it was intentional.

A good use of frame by frame will always be appreciated on newgrounds.
"tweening" is also a great way of filling in time. But, it can easily be exercised in a tacky way. I use tweening for landscapes, or introducing a setting.

for things that you dont want to draw all over again... you can draw it all once. then you can copy that frame and use it as a template, erasing what you can and drawing it over again. either way this is going to take forever.

If your looking for a time saver, you are still going to spend many hours.

here's the latest.
this is really difficult for me... whether that shows my lack of skill i dont know.
im trying to refine this so that it is not something going on in the background but something that is happening right in your face.

I have clean up the lines, color etc.
but im trying to get the wings right before i start.

I really appreciate your opinion.
thanks much

....Kingdom hearts...
Pussy yeah yeah i know.
but i tied it in with my childhood so much that... it got sort of a nostalgic heartbreak feeling to it.

Pokemon blue, as long as the graphics changed... i couldn't live in an 8 bit world.
Or, oblivion, but as the hero and not as one of the peasants.

i never knew about them.

what this always seems to come down to, is "Who would win in a fight?"

I'm pretty sure that Kratos would win.... there's really no arguing it. he killed Zeus
and sure Gordon has technology, but i would still put my money on Kratos.
And i died multiple times in half life, and virtually none in God of War.

so....
i think we are in agreement with this as an "EPIC fail"

???

I dunno

Ah,
i appreciate the effort.

thanks.

yeah
it's funny.
really short so not too much to comment on.
the lip sync was good.
decent.

ok.
here's the latest one:
blah

i got the bird down, the rotation of the missile.
but not the flapping while it is transforming.
so tell me what you think.
thanks much

Though in flash, ease usually has to do with tweening. I think here he's talking about the motion of the wave, which I wouldn't call good easing as much as good distortion in simulating motion, especially on the upswing you see the arm getting fatter, it gives the character nice weight.

here is an excellent description of ease in and ease out using traditional tools.
