Tutorials, Comic-Con, Optimus

[TomFulp]

A lot of people asked why I submitted my crappy old "introduction to Flash" tutorial to the Portal. I did it because I was finally moving the Flash tutorials into our "content management" system. I can now add new tutorials faster! Check out the Flash tutorials!

By doing this, I eliminated two standalone pages that no longer need to be redone in CSS for the site redesign. The turials now fall under the standard collection template and the "introduction to Flash" tutorial now falls under the standard Portal submission template.

ANYWAY... Comic-Con is next week! An insane number of NG regulars will be there, including Broken Saints, College University, Dr. Shroud, Xombie and Tomorrow's Nobodies!

I will be there at booth #4604. The booth is listed under the Behemoth and we are showing the latest demo of our new four-player console game. There will be a Newgrounds poster on display as well, since a lot of Newgrounds fans aren't familiar with the Behemoth and vice versa.

For those of you who aren't versed in NG history, I am one of the Behemoth co-founders and we made Alien Hominid! Dan Paladin, the artist, will also be at Comic-Con! Sometimes I feel like I have to over-explain everything because it's easy to forget just how many NG visitors don't know anything about the background of the site and all the stuff we're doing. But moving on...

We got a fun art thread! There is a picture floating around of Optimus Prime in the new Transformers movie. In the picture he is in truck form, so now it's your job to draw him in robot form! Check out the thread to see what Jeff, Mike, Josh and I came up with. Stamper apparently scrapped his... We'll keep pressuring him to submit one.

In office news... Our conference room is now under construction. New walls, new lighting, new paint, new carpet. I really should be taking pictures... Ok, I'll go take some now before I forget. I still need to make a page for the 2006 mod-meetup, I'm falling so far behind. :(

If you are coming to Comic-Con, let me know! Also, feel free to make suggestions for the tutorials page! Finally, submit your own Optimus art!!!

Someone should have comic-con in the uk. preferably surrey.

[blanblan]

Yay... is my tutorial good enough to be in the "introduction to flash" section? I didn't think so... :/

[Jovatov]

Well I'm not coming to Comic-Con, cus it's just too far away and stuff, but I really want to see the new game, are you gonna announce the name there?

[Syntrus]

u guys should come to one of the hundreds of canadian comic conventions such as the one in vulcan Alberta canada

[Paradox]

I am so glad you made the tutorials collection page. I've been wondering when it will happen, even suggested it in the Ideas for Newgrounds' Evolution thread once.

Hopefully for the newbie Flash artists that the collection will grow very big very quickly. :)

Hey question, is Comic-Con in a different location every year, or is it always in Cali?

[jonthomson]

You should hunt down Maddox's booth and get The Best Comic In The Universe.

I really wish I could go to Comic-Con. :(

Did someone hear my loud cry for an updatable tutorial collection, a long time ago??

[Mogly]

LOOK OUT FOR FROSTED MUFFINS

Tom what day are you leaving? It's a secret why i'm asking but a good one.

And also who is going from the NG team?

And also look out for Luis!

[Sugary-Cupcakes]

Comic-con is on July 21th right?

[Lost-Chances]

I really want to see the conferance room. What will you use it for though really?

[BatDan]

Wizard World Chicago? Is that still up in the air?

I can't go but I might go next year like I told you. I would've gone if my father stuck to his word... but I don't think I'll believe what he says again (selfish jerk)

[Bran-Man]

Where and when is it again? If its in New York, I might be able to go.

I second this.

[InsideOutside]

Conference room sounds sweet, knowing you guys there will probably be some stuff from newgrounds history in there.
by the way, when will the office be open to public...I'd love to take a tour of it, seeing how i live in the Philadelphia area.

The king of eggs will be accompaning the great Tom Fulp at this so called "Comic Con". I'll be the 13 year old who looks like he's 10 with the curly hair and glasses.

If it's always in Cali I can never go... unless I go on vacation with my family there. But I doubt it still even if we did go...

ComicCon is always in San Diego. That makes us better than you.

Nope. It's possible the police caught him (assuming it's the same guy who was robbing houses in the neighborhood), but we haven't been notified.
