Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Going to be heading off to Hong Kong soon, so I should upload the work files so they're accessible by all.
I've got a fair bit of work done, but it's not as far as I'd like it to be.
I've got my tablet with and laptop with me, but it's likely I won't be doing much heavy work.

Here's the SWF file, of the work so far.
Here's the FLA file, and here's a public Drop Box link. Don't know if that'll be more useful or not.
If anybody wants, I can share my working directory on DropBox as well.

The work I know that needs doing (in priority order) are:
- Replacing the 2011 pics with 2012 pics.
- Modify the viewer slightly so it's more fresher.
- Tinker with the Save API (I've no idea what I'm doing) Here's some links I've found that might help.
- Collab info and credits need updating.
- The side banners look like shite. Probably replace with either tinsel or ribbons.
- Audio off and on could be replaced so they're 100% symbols.
- Swap the music for something else.
- There's a space on the loading screen that needs filling up.
- Sort out medal thumbnailS. They're likely to be the images themselves.

Other things:
- Would like a transition between the preloader screen and the calendar.
- Options to remove day numbers.
- Modify the filters on the day numbers so they're more clearer.

If you think something looks awful, or you have any fresh ideas, feel free to have a go.

I'm probably going to look it over several times in the coming days and make changes, so if anyone has any input, that'd be much appreciated!

Where's the light source coming from? Also, shouldn't the yeti have a shadow?

...are these supposed to be getting submitted to the art portal already? Doesn't that kind of ruin the whole project? ...or am I just not understanding how this collab works?!

Ouch. Hands off the soft brush. It is never good.

I've got the prelim sketches done and scanned, just need to linework them and colour them. I'm going to be posting three images and layering them into one, so it might take a few hours.

As far as I know, there are 4 spots open, so I'd say go for it. Our friendly neighbourhood TurkeyOnAStick is currently away, but I am sure the theme you chose is ok.

@ReNaeNae: I thought the exact same. Would be nice to know if people should wait with their submissions until "their day" has passed or if we should submit before so TOAS can link to the art portal submissions.

I would say upload it but dont make it public. thats what I did

Yeah, that's probably the way to go, tomsan! Toas will need to link them up in the flash so having them uploaded somewhere is good... just not public.

Don't suppose you guys have any choices for a bit of audio to go in the background?

Do any of these tickle your fancy?

The second and third song are really good. I think Nedeleg Laouen tickles my fancy just a bit more than the other one though.

Not feeling this drawing at all but I feel like I'm 95% done. I might clean it up a little bit sometime this week but besides the lights I think everything else is as good as could be.

Also don't like the tree but I already redrew it like 4 times so I'm done!!
