i consider newground the ultimate place to put up your art, cause no matter when, people will see it and critique it in a good way, and it actually requires effort and skills to submit something, unlike other community sites like youtube when you could just record your pillow gettin layed by your dog, submit it, and less than a hundred of people would watch it, and it would be forgotten in the thousands of videos subitted everyday.

Newgrounds still has this "small town" feel, and i seriously hope it stays like that forever, thats what makes it different from other sites, its easy to get into here, and do something you're good at, wether music, flash , drawing or just giving our opinion out... i think its because you have to be a member to do all this, and not just some random guy who just spams...

oh well, NG is the ultimate place for anything flash, and it inspires people to work hard on something in their lives... seriously, i had never worked so hard on my life before i did a flash, it requires tons of hours and patience and knowledge :D

so i got here playing dad n me on another website, it took me here, i played zelda lampshade, the that took me to watch the Decline series from the flash bros, and then i got totally hooked by every good flash on NG. im like the weird guy in my whole city, i actually speak another language with online people and started working on flash at 13, i mean who the hell does that over here? everyone is like having nothing to do but school, no goals in life, and i got one here, i found a way to express myself to thousands of people in here.

so, NG is cool, maybe im going a bit deeper in facts, some people just consider it another site but it means more to me :)

-Edday

wow that list grew up alot, i'll feel so nerdy around people i met on the internet lol. i dont care actually, its cool : )

ill also kick Dims ass in super smash bros btw.

how cool, 21 submissions that were choosen from some hundred, they should be good quality :)

so if this big collab is coming on monday night, that means the redesign is also coming on monday night... right.... RIGHT?!
im loosing faith in the NG redesign it seems to be further each day...

oh well, it wont dissapoint when it comes for sure

ya luis you gave up too easily, you should try reinstalling the thing, drawing directly with brush in flash using a tablet is awesome, specially with the pressure sensitivity thing : )

since im too young to help the cause significantly, i just make simple actions like turn the AC off early in the morning and on way later in the night, turn off light when not in use, also the computer take short showers... oh and i actually convinced my parents to go walking somewhere instead of using the car :P

i also have that *help code in my nickname in MSN, for the I'M campaign against global warming... doesnt help much i know :P

back to the original live earth topic, honestly, i only watched the thing because of everything else BUT the concerts. well yeah it was cool, music to help the earth and all that crap, but the waste of electricity, gas, and all the junk food rests left in all of the places is just too much polution to not counter the cause, they contaminated more than they helped the enviroment by changing people's minds... honestly many people went to the concert because of the music not because "they wanted to help the cause"

the only things i apreciated from the whole event were those animations about climate change, they really got to me, they were really well done, and i think they worked more that the actual concerts, i didnt hear many inspiring words from the artists at the concerts, it felt pretty much like an ormal concert, i was also expecting it to be kinda energy saver, but it seemed as big and expensive with all those big lights and screens and crap as other concerts without cause : P

oh well, i hope they kinda change that and live earth becomes more enviromental friendly next year, im with wade : P

Enjoy?

eww... i mean uh, it needs to be more solid and round, i dont think you will be able to do metaknight with your style :P

the wings are totally sexy tho.

Its Kim from the King of Fighters series

What do you guys think so far

nice face and arms, it looks excellent so far.. maybe it needs some more right chest, like the original one. ke seems kinda thinkker but not significantly. you did good : )

i feel kind of a crappy copycat bitch by using ounded squares to enclose my draing like johnnyutah did... i hope he doesnt get annoyed or something, i just found it cool and did it with my thing, its not like if i wanted to copy you in everything or stuff, really.

damn rudy you got time to spare lol.

i dont like most of the random shit of youtube, still yours has KINDA quality :P. still, its getting so annoying to browse around, trying to find a descent video and finding yourself with tons of repeated videos and all kinds of crap... they should implement some kind of judgement system, but meh too many videos to get judged so i think its fine as it it now : P

lol, i can easily see why, you draw awesome!
your drawing seems to be anorexic too, it has a different feel from the original one, its still cool tho :P

well i like it but the pose is too different from the original one, and i thin he was meant to be jumping and covering his head or face with his arm, not being like freaked out... thats pretty much it, i liked how its colored, did you drew it in paper and scanned it or just used a special program??

OMG RETRO DONKEY KONG!

heres the low quality drawing i did...
ill post the high quality version in the official thread, but before... comments?

HAHAHA. ya its a funny story
that was just like random hair i did in the pencil sketch. when i traced it it ended up like that haha, weird! dont worry they're gone in the final one, im almost done with it :P

i was thinking of putting the balls in there but he looks too cute to have those big hairy things ruining the whole drawing hehe.

ill try something, ill post it now before someone else gets the idea : P

by the way its just the sketch, i took the time to actually redesign him, i drew him on paper then traced it with my tablet... its just the base thing, its like 5 % of the real thing

i <3 retro DK

hey umm i dont know if someone else has noticed it, but luis has been missing for (:O!) 2 whole days!, no posts no bans, nothin...

argh i fucking hate the layout.. its cool with all the customizing shit and whatnot but the fact that the tools icons changed place annoys me, and also the lack of colors in them :C it made them more recognizable... im too dumb to difference them now that they're all gray :P

It's too hard and requires too much patience >:(

its FUN ^^ ok it gets tedious after many months but the fact that your thing is gonna be seen my thousands pushes you to finish it... exept with you lol!

your pie movie... it has like the most epic ending of all flashes.........

no, its Nene like Neh-Neh... just as Pico is pronounced Pee-Co, bith are normally pronounced as they're written in spanish and i feel it more than just like a coincidence...

besides Nehneh sounds cooler

MY BIRTHDAY IS SOON LOL

just saying... i completely forgot when i was more active, these forums made my day, which was being so crappy... i think i need my NG BBS fix again :)

this might not be true but did someone notice the tank's cannon can be moved up and down? i can see the hinge there and some tanks' canons' position is different, some seem to be higher than others...

sorry if i ruined something tom : P i just wanted to point that out, it might not even be true hehe

OH OH CAN I MAKE A SUGGESTION???

k umm the track is excellent i loved it, its just that the bass is a bit too pronunciated and it kinda makes the song loose its armony and goodness... well not really, it just sounds a bit too lound and doesnt let me apreciate the rest of the song really well :P it might just me me and my speakers tho...

oh so music makers are getting pico shirts and flash winners from pico day didnt... that sucks -_-, but i guess that makes up for the money won, i like how musicians and flasher's prizes are getting a bit more balanced :)

I will always root for our old sigs even after the redesign. I ask you not to change them and remind you that it is the users and viewers that really made Newgrounds what it is and no matter how hard you try you can't take their community from them but if you still persist I will fight you to the end. Thats all for tonight, I have school in the morning and need to get some sleep, cya around!

nice speech. i support you, but i think you dont know why they're gonna be wider now. the wider sigs will cover the whole width of your post so there osnt gonna be a blank space at the right of your sig anymore, making it look sexier, and its going to be shorter to also make it more of a division between posts, so it makes sense, even tho i dont see 10 pixels affecting the whole new sig thing, 60 seemed fine...

and yeah im not much of a sig maker i suck at making sigs, im just giving my point of view if i were more active changing my sig :P

At 5/25/07 11:47 PM, MadCow wrote: I don't care if it "looks good", make the size 595x60, so that at least people can where their old sigs!!

yeah that makes sense, if 10 pixels doesnt make the difference then i dont see much problem leaving the size 390 x 60 and not x50, it would me more comfortable for sig makers and most of BBS guys
