I might just make an animation and an art submission for this if I get the time...

My computer can't read the characters, so there's no way to translate it.
A pic of the translation would be nice.

It's a media sharing site of some sort. I wouldn't be surprised if your flash was there. (Sorry if the quality is bad.)

Those darn Chinese. Always so... Chinesey.

D'Aww, sounds like a cute and fun idea, Raenaenae. :)

What I find weird is that you said that you will add sounds if requested to AtomicFishProdutions' opening, but you ARE AtomicFishProductions. O.o Also, RedStreak only has one bbs post, this has alt written all over it...

Anyway, they are both REALLY good. I'm sure you will get quite a few requests (a lot of YouTubers come here looking for intros). Just try not to lie. :)

I think they mean they don't want to be given art and be told to 'make it move' via movieclips or editing the art. With real movies and shows, the animators are given models to draw by, but they still draw the art. This feels more dynamic and fun that just adjusting someone's art.

Maybe I'm just weird, but I like them. They're different and have a unique style to them. Granted, I'd never wear any of these shoes if I had the option (I don't like 'distracting' shoes with bright designs or colors), but as something to look at in an art museum or maginize I like them. As far as tips go: try some new styles, be a little less busy with the designs, and good luck!

Sounds like a fun idea, however, you might want to check out the rules... you need an opening picture...

Also, canvas size, background, etc?

As Johnny said, pick up a pencil and just start practicing! Digital art is hard to do straight off the bat, so start by drawing by hand, and getting yourself a graphics tablet. Newgrounds is famous for its harsh criticism, and while most of it is warrented, don't let it get you down. KEEP PRACTING and when you finish something you are truely proud of, come back and post it. Good luck!

Just took a look (or a listen XD) at some of your audio submissions, really good job! I exspecially like Reaper's Sonata!

Anyway, I'm definatly interested. Maybe I'll email you in a week or so if you want to make the music for a flash animation I'm working at. Anyway, very cool music submissions!

Also, I'm not sure if you are allowed to 'advertise' audio here (I might be wrong).

Sounds like fun, what's the animation about, out of curiousity?

Sounds like a cool idea, but what about canvas size, background, etc...?

1. Select the sprite: Modify>Transform>Flip horizontal

2. File>Import>To stage (select sprite sheet)

3. Break the sprite sheet appart and use the lasso tool to select the sprite you want.

Hope that helps.

Just watched it. Very nicely made, you all should be proud.

I can't think of anything more to say...

Yes, because obviously being well-known makes them more trustworthy.

That made me lol.

Sorry to say, but you aren't going to get much help here if there's no pay involved. Most animators are busy with there own work, anyway...

Actually it's a Germanic language, not a Romance...

I'll be going now...

Thanks for the replies everyone. You don't want to break any copyright laws there...

I'm curious about this too...

Hello everyone, sorry if a topic like this has already been made. I just have a small question...

Are you allowed to use Flash ads with copyrighted materials? I always thought no, but I've started to notice some movies with copyrighted music and characters, such as the Super Mario Bros Z series, display ads.

So, are you allowed?

Thank you for any help. :)

ooooh... thats a lame excuse if I ever heard one... the whole challenge of the tricolor collab is to find a way to make it interesting without using more colors.

No, you misunderstand me. I'm not saying it's not possible to make a good three-color picture, it just was not the best choice for the picture, which originally a contour drawing of organic objects (flowers). It was not an excuse saying 'Oh it's hard to make a three-color picture' I was saying that three-solid colors was not a good choice for a picture of that nature. My original plans were to just color it and keep it a normal drawing, but when I saw the tricolor collab I wanted to try something more abstract. That's where I went wrong. Abstract drawings of nature can be nice, but only if you do it with the intent of being abstract. For instance, I've done a negative-space drawing of a flower before, and it's turned out pretty ok because I made extra attention to make the shape solid and recognizable. But for this one, I included all of the lines and details a flower has, with overlapped pedels and such. Making it negative-spaced destroyed the purpose of that drawing.

anyways, the raven pic looks good, might be your best as of yet. It could still use some more details/sharpness, but its already better than the dog.

Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed looking at it.

Another (old) little something. This was originally a background for an arena game someone was making about color. I re-sized it for the sake of easy-viewing. I tried to make it water-color-like while keeping the 'intense' feel the author wanted. Since the game was about color, the sky would change occasionally.

Seriously, if anyone wants these, let me know. I have like 20 rotting away in my files...

Sorry if I can't. I draw stuff that won't fit on most threads.

I have no problem with it personally, bu how about you make your own art thread instead? :)

The tri-colour picture is pretty bad and not very intersting.
The dog looks pretty good but it could be a bit more defined and detailed.

Thanks for the input! The tri-color thing is probably the most dull because, well, it's 3 colors. ^_^; I didn't have much room to elaborate it or add much shading.
I didn't want to add much detail to the dog since I was going for a dream-look, and I didn't want anything to overshadow the other.

Here's another animal drawing... this time a bird...

I just took a look at your stuff. Wow man, never let those 0-bombers get you down. Your art is amazing. It has class, style, character, and best of all, feeling behind it. Keep it up and please don't stop!

Really cool idea you've got there. Unfortunatly, I have no lighter to draw on! I will definately pick on up next time I go to a gas station though!

All i see are 3 blobs of color
I never saw that collab so does it have to make some shape, or be completely random

Actually, it's the silhouette of some sun flowers. I drew it to be abstract. :/

Yup, it's abstract I guess you could say. And, it's the silhouette of some flowers.

Like I said not very original...

The tail looks a bit rushed, but besides that, nice drawing. I like the dog one as well.

Thank you for the reply! I see what you mean by rushed. I actually did it as a '15 minute sketch' for an art class quite a while back. I'm glad you enjoyed looking at those drawings though! :)

Dang did the quality not turn out on that one. Here's a better one (hopefully):
