Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Seems like something that would naturally complement the ART PORTAL and not the Movie Portal. Afterall the finished project of any time lapse video should be present as well.

This could simply be an optional extra to add substance to an art submission. The thumbnail of art that carries a speedpainting file could have a symbol in one corner to indicate its presence.

I like the idea of time lapse but I am not in favour of diluting the pure animation found in the movie portal.

4 hours well spent

Pretty cool, I would advice improving your traditional pencil to paper drawing skills if you are honestly looking to improve.

Strong initial line art is the basis for most work of quality. Personally I prefer to draw everything traditionally, only using the tablet to clean up scanned artwork.

I know other people prefer to draw entirely digitally but I find the old fashioned way to be more intuitive for me... at least currently.

The head of cabbage he's dropping is getting lost to the background as it's a similar color to the creature. Giving it more purple/brown shades will bring it to the front.
Personally I don't find the machete he's holding to be practical. A simple kitchen knife or cleaver would help sell the setting.

I appreciate the visual aid, I definitely agree.

I worked in a Vegetable factory for a few months, chopping the thick neck-like stems from Cabbages with Machetes, its essentially part of the theme/concept.

Hi, Ive been working on a new piece for about a week now, through drawing, scanning, cleaning and colouring and while I feel that my drawing skills are improving and will continue to do so, I feel that my colouring has hit a brick wall.

I would like to receive honest critique and advice on ways to improve my work, I tend to stray away from effects mostly through inexperience but would be keen to add skills to my, currently, underwhelming arsenal.

Hi, Im trying to upload a 430MB video on my fairly slow home connection (1MB dl), this process would typically take like 2-3 hours.

Im using Chrome, so this issue may be limited to that browser but after it reaches 100% I am promptly told my session has expired and to try again; this has happened three times now.

Im wondering if Newgrounds has a set amount of time for each upload session. Do I need to be on a reliably fast fibre broadband connection to expect to be able to upload the file in time? :o

Thanks,
features.

Just tried something, where I changed the MP3s bitrate from a fairly low 80ish to 130. Flash then accepted the file it'd taken offense to before.

Still, it all seems fairly random for a computer program; why accept one 80bit rate file while taking a fit at another. Does anyone actually know the criteria for MP3 importing in Flash, or is it supposed to be a complete load of shit? :S

Hi, Im trying to finish up an animation Ive been working on for a while now and have come up against an issue where Flash, rejects random MP3 files.

Ive been receieving the following error message:
"one or more files have not been imported because there were errors reading them"
Its an issue that cant be resolved just by re-editting the track and then importing. Whatever random file flash takes a disliking to, it seems to stick.

Ive worked with Flash for many years, but in that time I havent had to deal with much in the way of audio, so any help would be great.

Cheers.
