Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Some additional information would be helpful to animators on the site who are considering helping out.
If you list...

-The desired level of quality (Very low, low, decent, good, very high etc...)
-How complicated it will be (A music video that tells a story and has lip sync, or just has cool visual effects)
-How much the song loops.
-A link to the song itself or a sample, that way animators can see if they have any ideas upon listening.
-Deadlines (How fast you want it made or if there is no rush)

These details will help animators know what you are after, and as a result should give you a higher chance of finding someone.

Good luck!

Pretty much all I need is...

"Sir! The heroes are getting closer to our b-"

and...

"I'll....I'll come back later..."

I'd would like to work on a short 30 second animation, but the device I would usually use for my own voice recordings no longer works with my computer.
I just need someone with a good henchman/henchwoman voice before I can start.
Preferably the kind of henchman that works for a ridiculously evil person.

I'm not picky at all, as long the recording doesn't have a lot of background noise, it's all good. :)
If anyone wants to help out, just let me know and I'll send the script right over.

Thanks in advance!

We're here on the forums to help out. :P

How to draw?
WELL FIRST YOU GRAB THE PENCIL! THEN YO- (Dragged off stage)
Drawing is an acquired skill, for some people it comes easily and others it takes a bit more practice.
You seem to want to learn, which is the first step. Having enthusiasm towards the craft will keep you going.
Perfecting the art is something that takes dedication, but I will tell the first few basic steps that I was taught in hopes that it helps you on your way.

-Practice drawing from life, look at an object that is close by and try to draw it. A suggestion from one of my teachers is that you should try and learn what an object looks like by attempting to duplicate it as opposed to trying to draw it from what you THINK it looks like. It will force you to draw details that you might forget about.
-Practice drawing simple shapes, both 2D (circles, squares, triangles etc...) and 3D (Spheres, Cubes, Cylinders etc...).
Upon learning how to draw simple shapes together, you can use these shapes to help you draw other objects. For example, an orange is a sphere and a building is a rectangular prism. From these base shapes you can add details and make them look better.
-Look at other peoples art. This may not seem like advice, but looking at other art works helps to get the creative juices flowing by giving you ideas and you can also take guesses of how those images were made.
-The scribble technique. With a pencil, you can do quick scribbles, and while doing so, form the rough shapes of whatever it is you are going to draw.
-Practice drawing quick poses. You don't have to have these images be perfect... just quickly draw people making different poses. It will help teach your brain poses and even basic anatomy if you have a friend or family member helping you out. Then switch it up, draw people without lifting your pencil off the paper, then draw them without looking at the paper. This will make you brain think about what the pencil is doing, and make your brain more aware of what the hand is doing.
---Lets say I was going to draw a staircase. I could just draw some stairs, but what I can do is get an idea of the stairs position first before I did most of the details. I would do quick lines for the stairs and get the framework for the drawing.
I would then draw on a separate layer, or with thicker lines if I was using a pencil and then draw the final lines. I would then colour and then do shading afterwards. I have included a demonstration down below.
-There are plenty of tutorials on the internet and YouTube, they range from anatomy (anime AND realistic) to pose help. Try not to trace over what they draw, you won't learn anything that way. Instead, look at their techniques and how they blot down shapes and details, that's how you learn.

These are a few suggestions that I can think of that should help you hone your skills. With practice, you'll notice that you steadily improve.
Hope this helps! :D

While I might not be able to offer the same kind of advice as the fine fellow above me, I can suggest a few things.
-Removing the lines from the light sources (the setting sun, the moon etc..) should make the colours shine through a bit more and make them look less scribbled.
-Some of your colours on the mountains blend on top of the sky and vice versa. Going over the colours on the background should make them appear less smudged.
-While the angels in the background are further away then the characters in the main focus, it might be a good idea to have them appear as people in the distance as opposed to stickmen. When you look down the street do people look like stick people? :P
Your character art is fairly good, if you draw them in a style similar to the characters in the boat but with less detail, it should make them appear as if though they are in the distance like you originally intended.

Hope this helps!

I think the proportions are alright, I would just consider making the tail fin just a little bit bigger. Doing a colour version now that you have a framework would also be a cool thing to see.
Nice work!

How does the punch scene look?

All right, I was just wondering. Thank for the reply!

Should a movie or game posted to NewGrounds be blammed for whatever reason (lack of quality, far too short etc...),
Is the creator still able to see the constructive criticism left on the content, or are the reviews deleted as well as the movie/game?

I notice this is drawn in MineCraft, so there isn't much for me too point out for Erin. I can however offer some anatomical advice for the Creeper Titans.

-While Erin was drawn in a MineCraft style, his boots could have a few more details (boot straps, sole, dirt specs etc...)
-The Titan on the right hand side of the screen has an overly bumpy armpit. Reducing the number of bumps would make that area look better.
-The same Titans' left arm (his left) is a little bit too small. Making this arm bigger will make the Creeper proportional.
-The lineart on the Creeper Titans seems a little bumpy at parts. This may have been an intentional stylistic choice however, if so no harm done. If not you could go over the lineart one more time and smooth it out a little to make it look a little bit neater.

Included below is your image with the areas I mentioned circled in blue.

Other than that I don't see anything wrong with it. Good work! :P

How do you art?
I could give a joke answer, but I'm going to agree with the fine people above me.
You're going to have to practice if you want to get better at drawing/painting.

I will however offer some advice if you want to design this tattoo yourself.
-Look at drawings that are similar to the idea in your head. This will help you when you are putting pen to paper. You don't have to find an image that looks exactly like the final design you are after.
----Lets say I wanted to draw a Gorilla/Tortoise hybrid. I can look up an image of both a gorilla and a tortoise, then use these images as a reference when I start to draw. Using a reference image for portions of an image will help in the overall drawing process.
-Practice drawing simple shapes. Might seem unnecessary, but practice at drawing basic shapes will prove to be a useful skill down the road.
-Draw simplistic versions of the drawing you want FIRST, then draw the FINAL product based on an idea you like. This technique makes it so you can get a good idea of what you want the end result to look like. You can be drawing something for a while then get a really cool idea once you've already finished. Doing some simplistic drawings beforehand can help get these ideas out faster and make it so you can start working on a drawing using the previous ones as a guideline.

Hope this helped!:P

P.S----------If you don't feel like putting the effort to draw the design yourself, providing ample reference images of the idea you come up with and small notes of detail will help the artist that helps you in finalizing a design.

The Tomba series,they are well reviewed games, but didn't sell well and Woopee Camp went out of business. They did get onto the PlayStation store recently, so more people can enjoy them now as a result. :P

Congrats @Kogey! You were the better man this day...:P
Also thanks @Alexander and/or Judges for the honorable mention.
Looking forward to whatever contest comes next. :)

I think this drawing I made counts as surrealism, maybe more cosmic though...:P

Hello, I've recently joined Newgrounds and I'm just curious as to what the outlook on psychedelic art is here on the site.

In my free time along with some of the other things I draw on the computer, I often quickly doodle art like the image down below.

I was just wondering if anyone else on the site made similar images and wanted to share them as well. :P

Is the winner going to be made public, or is it going to remain as mysterious as the box?

I completed my entry! (At the cost of some sleep)
May I present to you, "The Shoebox-'o-???" with some Tankmen and Tankgirl.

This was fun to make, although I should've started earlier, MIGHT'VE gotten more sleep that way...:P

DISCLAIMER!

All art included in the image was made by Syrupmasterz, with reference art as provided by...

Tom Fulp (Tank Girl reference)
The Art Forum (Tank Men Reference)

Just make something with the theme 'A Mystery Shoebox'?
I'm IN!
