This is an idea Renaenae and I have been kicking around for awhile. Every Friday, we get as many people as we can to submit art to the portal with the same thumbnail at the same time. That way the whole front page gets covered with nothing in between, 100% coverage.
This thread will be used to post a new theme and thumbnail for every week's flood. You can also post WIPs for you upcoming flood pieces. Once the flood happens it is highly encouraged that you post a link to your piece here (include a small preview, don't just post a link), so we know you participated and people can go review/vote on your piece. This is crucial for people who are unscouted but still want to participate and get feedback and more notice.
There aren't any real rules to it other than that you use the theme somehow, and you have to have the specified thumbnail. You can either work the thumbnail into your piece, or just have it stuck in the corner of your piece for the sake of the thumbnail. You can change the thumbnail to something else later on if you want, but just leave it as the Flood thumbnail for at least 24 hours.
Now this'll be more fun with the more people we can get involved. The goal is to flood the portal, and get everyone to review each others work. This is a community project, so act like a community and show everybody who participates some love. Review and vote on as many pieces as you can, and be constructive don't just tell them that they're work is nice.
The first flood will be NEXT FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1ST AT 8 PM NEWGROUNDS TIME, and the theme is going to be Black Cat. The theme can be as literal or loosely interpreted as you want, do whatever you want with it. You can download the thumbnail here.
So spread the word! Next week the flood begins!
