But anyways im done with \mine.

In flash go to file, go to export, then there will be an option to export image. Hope that helps!

You exported the full size and not the image size. Play around with the settings until you get it to work. Also could you add a little more detail to the nail that is hammered? It took me a second to find him lol. Also feel free to mess with the font. I don't know how I feel about the hand written. Also its you're, not your. Good work and thanks for joining.

Also, I am trying to pick out some more music. I want to have a pop down music jukebox thing so you can pick from various songs. YES I am being cheesy and trying to have music that has some type of hardware in the title. So sue me. here is what I have so far. Comments or opinions thus far? Any other ideas?

Might be obvious that I am trying to get everything wrapped up soon. I was hoping to announce a due date this weekend and start getting all the little bits and bods taken care of :)

Can I just use the one I showed earlier? Because I can't exactly think of anymore ideas, or at least ones that aren't already used. xD And it seems this collab is really taking shape!

How about this now? I was thinking of puttinf a sign in the background on the left (to fill space) "Club Club" (like the club you hit somthing with) But im not sure if people would get it, and if it is even a tool. I made the inner part of the nail darker, but im not sure what else to do (other than a subtle gradiant, but that would be kinda dumb) to make him pop. I put text in, and I like it, but I would like your opinion. I also got the stupid spelling error out xD SO Whatcha think now? What could I add? Thanks :)

I would suggest making the important elements larger. Right now everything is getting lost in the gigantic sea of background.

Center the text more vertically and make the word 'hammered' bigger than "Dude, you're" ...since it's the 'punchline' (so swap the sizes).

Also, are they supposed to be in/on wood? If so, try looking at some reference pics and try to play with that a bit... right now it looks like sand or something soft.

ALRIGHT!!! As of right now I am counting about 25 completed entries. I would like to get to 80. Also I promised to announce a due date. So here we go:

MAY 15th or 80 entries.
Whichever comes first!

I can't say I disagree with you chap. Maybe I can come up with an original idea in the future, but until then I have to finish what I start!

the far off future.

Lazy count is 25. It is probably more around 20. As much as I love each and every person who takes their time to participate and create something unique and wonderful for this collab, there are just some pieces I cannot accept without the creator redoing them. Those people have been contacted and asked if they could do some revamps on theirs pieces. So the number could go up even without any new submissions. However, I would love new submissions. I would love them so much that I would do a little dance. And I have an awesome happy dance.

yeah, the quality control is the biggest problem with these, bordering on spam sorry to say, but i will get something done, 2 weeks off school should be enough time to get something done :P

I can agree with that. There has been some really A+ art supplied for these collabs, but I think my "openness" mentality kind of drowned it out with some less than quality submissions. This time I am really making the effort to ensure quality is a top priority. I want everyone to be able to participate who wants to, but I also want to ensure that they take time and make the best piece they can make. Can't wait to see your part!

I like this collab, because It has been goin' for quite a while now and you can see my improvement using flash to draw. My first (and posibly second) submission to this collab are pretty bad I think but I have definetly improved, I think.

Can't wait for its release :).

Ok I actually didn't plan to join this collab, but doodling around got me to some kind of sketch that would fit in here. So I spend some time on it and here is my WIP. I did not yet start a background, what you see are just some preset textures from GIMP. Any ideas? Comments?

So...

I decided to animate something a day or two ago, which happened to relate to this.
Anyway, flash crashed before i could save a version with a decent background, but if you can embed the swf i suppose its fine.

Workshoppe

If you deem it relevant and awesome enough feel free to count it as my submission, else.... i may come up with something else in the unforseeable future.

...meanwhile im going to see if i can recover the *.fla file, and save as flash 8 or something
