Looks nice, I think that Mindchamber has captured the essence of Pico with the nonchalantly violent pose that he strikes. Also, the blending of the colours together, without many hard border lines tend to just add an almost pastel quality to the image.

Pastels with Pico? Is he mellowing out? Nah, I'm sure it;s just a blip.

Of course, I could say that it makes it look more street artistry, as if you would expect to see this upon some sort of wall - that's what we need to adorn NGHQ - spray painted murals of some of the NG greats.

yeah I made it again, if you don't like it you could always make us one for next year!

i will, i will, let me make one.

I'm new here so if someone could explain what pico day is? If I want to make Pico Day submission does it have to be related to Pico or I can make movie about anything I want?

Looks nice, but I prefer last years one.

Amazing!!!!!! I can not beleive it's finally out I love it man I hope pico day will keep continuing in the Nano age as well as newgrounds.

I downloaded it fine, but my Flash 8 won't open the file.

Ah well, it's still great looking! :)

I work on 30Fps and it seemed that more than half the submissions were lower than that, and the result is a really slow animation which people got tired of waiting for. I might animate something simple of next year, but honestly it seems like more of a burden to the people waiting for the play button to appear.

Perhaps you should do a still version, and also an animated version. Maybe a small 10fps animated one (for the slower animations) and a larger 20fps (for the faster animations).

Nah on second though that's way to much work...

Well done mindchamber

Now that is some awesome art!

Awesome, downloaded for future reference for the lulz.

That is a Good Preloader! I am making my animation today or tomorrow!.

Looks pretty cool. :3

I like it.

SWEET! My first Pico Day Flash!

Shit,I wish I could draw properly,I would particpate in PicoDay 2010 : (

Badass preloader anyways :D

God I love Pico Day.

But this year, I SURE HOPE MOOSH IS FINISHED WITH PICO RPG 3.

MindChamber has put together some neato art for this year's Pico Day loading screen!

Hey, what day is it again? Sometime in April, right?

It's on the 30th.

I still thought last year's was better. This one's pretty cool though.

In the Netherlands it's Queens Day on the 30th...

Mindchamber's artwork is awfully out of perspective on alot of the pieces for the preloader...

Looks greater than the last! Can't wait for it! ;D

What is Pico Day anyways? I am kinda no0b

This is an awsome preloader

Looking very nice... I've been away for six days, so it's nice to come back to all this good news!

nice, they just keep getting better each year. And this also reminds me, I havent even started my submission. Ive got a good idea thoguh, im gonna make a pico platformer, and I was gonna spend ages on the graphics since I already have a good platformer engine, but it dosent look like ill have time, ive only got 5 more days!

Pico Day? Don't you mean your birthday?

So I take it you're NEVER going to tell us what you named your kid.
