Hey, sorry for the lack of updates, MAM, but I haven't got around doing my part for the collab due to work and stuff.

And sorry again with my recent name change (I was VLanimate).

When's the deadline?

Sorry, but I have to drop out too. I've just been focused on other projects and didn't really work as hard as I thought on this. Sorry for leaving, but hey congrats to the next person in line.

Still forgot to mention, just in case, that I'm still in -- I'll make sure I get this done

You know it's pretty crazy to come back to newgrounds, years later to find that the sketch collab has consecutively gone on for 9 years haha.

Recent death in the family kinda halted up progress, sorry.

I'm really sorry to hear that, I hope you and your family are ok.

I appreciate the good thoughts. My mom is still shaken up, but our family is pulling through.

I've also got the concept of what I'm doing, now, so that's a thing.

I did mentioned I'm going to give some progress, and progress I shall give.

Here's my work-in-progress. All those red / blue lines will go to gray along with a sketchy-style I'm going to try out asap.

Just to point out, the deadline to normal participants is September 1st, but those who were understudies have until October 1st.

I nearly forgot about this, I'm still game though!!

Can you add me as an understudy please? Thanks!

Pleasure to be part of this, I'm still adding to my segment and should probably have it done for September if I can keep on track

Progress Entry #3 (I think)

Finally did my clean-up; probably going to add something extra somewhere before and after my character's flight.

Other than that, I'm debating on how I'm going to color this or just leave it as that.

Swf version: http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/0d4ecfd0e7467ea52accd57c23885046

I've begun some progress on an entry and I'll post some pics as soon as I can find my tablet, so I can take the pic.

it's going to be an overweight genie trying to get out of a bottle.

It's great to see work from folk, I'm really looking forward to seeing the final product compiled together.
I'm about two-thirds done with mine, just having a nightmare with some camera motion: UPDATE 2

Might be a bit overzealous but y'know what they say:
"Shoot for the moon and if you miss...

Few of the members are answering my PMs and I'm getting worried. Hopefully I'll get responses soon.

Sorry for the late reply. The fact is all understudy slots were taken, but considering the lack of updates from members, I might contact people like you who showed interest in joining and extend the deadline for them.

I haven't gotten a PM, yet. I still wanna be part of this collab and I have a solid idea I'm working on.

Is there anyway I can join this still?

I'll have my thing done by the deadline

Updating. Progress is going well. I'll have this done as soon as possible.

Okay I'm taking that as a no. Hehehe Least I tried.

Hey everyone, I'm updating. Wanna let you guys know that I've completed my part. Phew!
@TheMAM if there is anything I need to change, feel free to tell me.

Here is the WIP of my sketch animation. Still have to add the BG, sfx, and some color. Gonna reframe the scene as well, make it a little tighter.

Kind of difficult to upload my gif here since it cannot exceed more than 10,000 kb. Might as well show my progress in a .swf from my Dumping Grounds.

http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/0d4ecfd0e7467ea52accd57c23885046

But I'm almost there so hopefully I can finish it before the deadline, or otherwise I might keep it as that I'm afraid.

Alright everyone, I have another task for everyone participating.

If you look at previous years, you'll see art drawn by each artist for the loading screen. I'll need a sketch from each of you to put in this year's one. It can be a transparent background .png or just the .fla of the sketch.

We're about two weeks from our deadline. Let's make these days count and do our best!

Just wondering, would you rather our sketches were relevant to our animations or are you looking for just a random assortment?

http://www.newgrounds.com/dump/item/0d4ecfd0e7467ea52accd57c23885046

I think I'm finally done.

All I did was that I refined more of the background and just changed the grayscale of the sprite -- wasn't the fan of that dark, warm gray color.

I don't think I can add anything else since I have another project that needs attending. So I'll just submit as that.

@TheMAM, how do I submit my finalized piece? You just need my .swf file?

No it doesn't. You can make the sketch about your entry or whatever else you want.

I already wrote in the rules that it needs to be either Flash .fla or video .flv

Okay, I got my .flv; where do I submit it? Do you have an email of sort?

I'm assuming we can upload them onto our Dumping Grounds and just post up the URL here since there's a download option from there?

Dumping Grounds does not allow .flv files -- and I can't change it to .fla because I've done my animation's on ToonBoom
