Lol i can't believe how busy i've been lmfao. I wanted to finish my part (and it's only 50 frames long!? I can do that in like under a friggen hour!? [with no background]) on friday yesterday, but I had a marching band practice and so i had to sleep at my grandma's last night lmao. I'll get home tonight like at 10:30 or so. I'm gonna animate the last like 11 frames or so of it.

And i really want to make a second part, i'll probably finish the 2nd part tonight as well, cause now I can use the same background (as a transistion) and just animate it fully without creating another.

Just letting you know, since you may think i'm dead or something. Friggen school, after this weekend is over, i won't be able to get back on in another week probably, i've got to study for exams and for my summatives.

Lmfao nice.

Also i'm almost done my part, i'm at 40 frames. I'm going to make another part as well. Sorry for taken so damn long. School is killing me with assignments and exams and tests. My exams start next week so i'm loading with work and such.

I'll probably have my part finished well before the end of the weekend. Maybe even my second part as well.

Those were both amazing! If that the quality was can expect you'll definatley have a part. How come you don't have more stuff on the portal?

lol, well for some reason i can't upload stuff on the portal. i have no clue why. D:

Lol he'll have something done soon. I'm not aloud to show anyone it but it's simply amazing. As far as I know, it's my favourite stick animation skill-wise. If you know who terkoiz is, then your probably thinking i'm crazy but, Tman has improved like a nig on steroids. He's got amazing stuff lol.

Hey sorry about taking so long. Just had a unit test in dynamics for physics today and I'm currently finishing an english assignment. I'm going to do my part and probably have it done friday (tomorrow). Just been busy sorry about that.

But i'm deffinitly still in =].

I can't do a part, I'm leaving tomorrow and i won't be back for almost 2 weeks.

And for the record if it means anything i want him to have my spot, because his is the best stick animation i've seen so far in this thread.

By a VERY long shot.

Really sorry about this =\. So busy, i didn't even get anything for x-mas, because i'm going on vacation.
Anyway good luck with the collab.

-Miphisto

Eh, i'm going to work on mine all Friday. I've been really busy with homework and everything, I'm also gone on vacation for a while. So after this next week i'm gone for a week and a half or so.

Rofl. If for whatever reason there is a second one, drop me a pm, I'd probably join in =]

Swfup is down, been trying to see like 7 different uploads to there. I guess i'll just have to wait.

Thats how my effect was supposed to work lmao. I pretty much knew it wasn't going to work the way i did it but i was just curious as to what effect it'd make if i did it this way.

Yes it's possible i could do that, but it would take a bit longer.

Lol ya it just might happen. Getting a lot of requests for one.

Lol I guess I'm a little late no? Rofl.

http://flost.shiftlimits.com/file.php?id =4631a9ec

I really honestly am sorry. I do infact have msn, but everytime I log on there is another 2 people who've added me. If you really want some help with animation, go to http://shiftlimits.com and register in the forums. GREAT animators there. Infact, all the best stick animators in the world post there everyday.

Lol so i'm in I take it. Sure I'll get working on mine right now.

Hmm lol, it's pretty weird.

So it's a gradient? Ok my advice is you need to slow it down. The initial explosion should take a couple frames, then the rest should be nice and slow dissipation. It takes a long while but it's worth it. The payout is good. If you really wanted, you could make a decent explosion in 30 min. Mine took over 2 hours, only because there are 3 seperate explosions in it, + lighting effects.

Lol be my guest? I can critique it if you wish.

Lmfao thats my collab you just linked with the "..."

Anyway, i might be interested in joining this, but i have to admit, some of the parts in here are pretty bad =\. Tell me if your interested, i'll probably join.

Good call. I've learned my lesson mind you. When 2 comes out It'll have a differen't name.

Do you have any suggestions as to what i really should have named it? Your probably deffinitly right to. You should have seen it when it first passed judgement, it was a 3.25 or something like that. Some dedicated fans and about 1/4 the collab members have been voting 5 whenever they remember to bring the score up to at least 4.00. It's severely underrated.

Thanks for the comments btw guys.

Not that big really, it looks more then what it actually is. I doubt it'd lag on someones computer when running even in a flash movie, I know this because i've made a similar explosion like that one and i'm using it in a flash video i'm currently making. And my computer doesn't even have a graphics card ; ). Just on board.

And yea i have a lot of more stuff. You can actually go check out the recent collaboration I finished compiling. Submitted it to the portal about a month ago, it's in the Sticks Collection as well. It has pretty much the best stick animators out there in it. Except a few of course, also other animators I wanted were working on something else and were to late for the date requirement.

But #2 will be even better, mark my words.

http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/41 0594

Are you ready to see it?

Well long story short, after seeing the explosion IRC exercise thread (from another forum) i decided to make an explosion myself since i haven't made one in a couple months, so here you go, the epic explosion of doom.

** Without Glow effects ** http://flost.shiftlimits.com/file.php?id =edbf7547

** With Glow effects ** http://flost.shiftlimits.com/file.php?id =c4b190fa

** With new lighting :3** http://flost.shiftlimits.com/file.php?id =4631a9ec

Yes it's shinny, and I fucking love it =].

It's 100% frame by frame, there is no tweening or spirtes or w/e.

If your curious the smoke explosion (which is also the fire) took about an hour and 15 min, then the 2 flashes took about a half hour-45 min each. I might make a tutorial later i dunno, we'll see how i feel?

Im just curios to know why it has such a low score, it should have a score of 2.4 or possibly more

It even has a level creater

is this game that bad
explain please, i want to no why its bad

thanks newgrounds

Well the Graphics aren't the best. And what is the FPS at? Like 12? It's choppy. Even for the walls, they are obviously MC because they have AS attached to them so why not make some animation on them? Or at least make it graphically pleasing to the eye a bit. Maybe some shading?

I guess the score should be higher, i'd say a 2.5.

Lol well all of the good stick animators no each other well, we have each others MSN and such, we talk all the time.

After this collab, i'm going to realese a full flash movie. All i have is a bunch of good shorts that are too short for a newgrounds post.

Don't overlook the other animators, just cause you haven't heard of them doesn't mean they're not good. They simply haven't posted anything outside the stick animating community.

It's friggen epic, i suggest looking at some stuff by Jcamelo and Terkoiz, they're the only ones with stuff on Newgrounds. Although i've been going to NG for over 6 years, i made an account about 3 years ago. Anyway, check out Terk and JC, i look up to both of them as GREAT animators.

There are many other animations produced by other members but they are not full flash movies, all collab members are of a high stick animation level. Just keep your hats on for the collab =]

Finally, after MONTHS of organization and hard work, The Sekret Collab is NEARLY complete. So far the collab is over **4500** frames. Soon to be over 5500.

The following members are included in the Collab so far, ones who have yet to enter a part shall have a statement beside they're name saying so.

Miphisto
Tentionmaru
Terkoiz
Kensei
Tman
Cicada (Formely known as MetalFace)
Spanned
Jcamelo
Apples
Severed
Spitzer - Not yet complete
Wizard - Not yet complete
Strife - Not yet complete

The Collab members and I have been "Sekretly" organizing a collaboration over MSN. We currently have over 11 parts in the collaboration, which averaging about 15-20 seconds long per part. There is still 3-4 more parts to be included, one being my own (part 2). The other parts are so VERY close to completion and being integrated into the collab.

Expect this collab to epic, ruthless, and just downright kick ass. This is a Stickman Collaboration with some of the best out there. Here are some screenshots to satisfy your hunger for now.

This collaboration shall be released sometime within the next week at the latest! Now, feed your eyes it's glory and wonder.

**Due to Big images, and possibly people with slow computers, i made them all links.

I looked on the first page and there is nothing in it that says the specific day for StickDay. I want to know for sure so that way i can upload the collab on that day. It'd be more epic that way =].

hey...im pretty good too...but not famous lol
i got an idea for the stick day preloader.
ok, a big loading screen in the background and sticks doing what they do while it loads.
i already have a small stick fight and the loading background. (all white in the back and the loading with the Chiller font)
but i use the v-cam to make it more intresting.
i can also make sticks doing some funny things or dying or something.
gimme ideas.
note: we might have to have a pre-pre-loader lol.

Well actually, being truthful and honest, your "Green Chronicles" animation would be around high beginner status in all the stick animation forums. It's based on entirely on skill, and ability to animate effects and movements. I don't like using ranks because they discourage animators getting better. Thats why at the main site and forums where all the collab members hang out, ranks are banned.

For curiosity's sakes The ranks are as follows;
Low-beginner
Medium-beginner
High-beginner
Low-intermediate
Medium-intermediate
High-intermediate
Veteran

*Note that each rank is a very big step in skill level. About 80%-85% of the stick population is beginner, 7-10% intermediate, and the last 5% is Veteran. Most of the collab members actually are High intermediates, with some veterans.

Each sub-rank is a huge differenece as well, it's hard to break the threshold from high-beginner to low-inter.

Your latest animation that you had there, the preview, was a lot closer to intermediate then your green chronicles, the movements were a big improvement. Just keep practising ad you'd be an awesome animator.

Just to let everyone know, stick animation is deffinitly not dead. It's been active for years. Most of the stick animations you see comming through the portal are considered beginner skill. The Animators in my Collaboration are Veterans.

Prepare for some awesome stick animaton. This collab will be done VERY soon. I have almost all of the parts. Expect it to be on newgrounds in less then 2 weeks =].

Its called taking university/colledge courses in highschool... -_-. Are you acually that dumb? Yea i am 16. In grade 9 i took university/colledge graphics design because my school has a specialized course for it.

Lol all of you people are really ignorant. And thank you very much for pointing out the most obvious thing i have ever seen. I know were the add attachment is. I know what sizes the sigs have to be. This is a sig for another website, i thought i'd show it here but clearly you guys are total assholes.

And another thing. It wasn't made with photoshop like holy crap.

And you guys think your so good but i bet i'd own you alot of you in photoshop. I have over 5+ years of experience in photoshop and which 2 of those years were university/college courses (And yea, colledge is for dumbass, really. Unless your acually getting a degree you NEED, colledge is just a huge waste of money. People want to hire smart people with good degrees at university).

And i'm out. The NG BBS is waay to full of it's self in some places.

P.S Please use proper grammer in your posts, when you don't, it makes you look like an 11-year-old (which is acually probably the majority of you).

Post more criticism, i like it ; )
