1 - James Farr, who has not only created the best flash cartoon known to man, but has also created one of the best cartoons ever. Period. This year was a great year for Xombie, and I hope next year is too.

2 - Joeseph Blanchette - Okay, so the writing isn't what it once used to be (Y'see, this is what happens when you produce more than four things year) but there has been LOADS of new stuff from this guy, most of them animated by his personal slaves.

3 - Andrew Dickman - I'm pretty sure he doesn't post stuff on NG anymore, but just go to his site and you'll see what a genius he is. This year he made the the brilliant (if a little self-obsessed) music video for 'Rainbow Connections' which is one of my favourite ever flash movies.

4 - HotDiggedyDemon (don't know his real name) - I honestly thought voice-acting would ruin this guys stuff, but it turns out he has as bigger knack for dialouge as he does with animation and storyboarding. This guy is underrated and I hope to se him worshipped like a GOD in 2005

5 - Matt Wilson - This guy has managed to make a new Bonus Stage practically every week now for over a year, the newer episodes are up to seven minutes long and there's even two full-length specials to sink your teeth into now. Truly, this man is a force to be reckoned with, could he be the next Brothers Chaps? No. He won't, but I hope he starts making some money out of what he does soon.

Top 5 Flash Artists, tough one. All of these artists are the top of their class in my book. It took me too long to figure out who deserved the 5 ranks. So many great artists, too few numbers.

1: Sam T (Edged out -Knox- by just a small margin. Great funny stuff, always.)
2: -Knox- (Now, this is how claymation is supposed to be, not that poor excuse that Chicken Run was. )
3: David Firth (How you got the inspiration for Salad Fingers is beyond me, and I do not want to know either.)
4: Ill WIll Press (Still funny. New or old episodes. )
5: Super Flash Bros (Great stuff guys. Just keep the magic.)

Knox won king of the portal 3 times this year,hes king of 2004! I vote for knox! Not to toot my own horn or anything but toot toot.

- Phendrana (for Hagy Game V3.0, excellent game IMO, and I'll take every opportunity I can to plug it)
- Perdix (because the Evils of Drugs cracks me up, no pun intended)
- Legendary Frog (a middling year relative to himself, a great year relative to most others. Keep on doin' it!)
- Hungy Latino (for Insane Orb and Mario World Overrun)
- Tommorow's Nobodies (Assuming The Old TN Ep 5 dated 12/30/2003 counts as this year. That added with their new stuff makes for one hell of a year)

I might have forgotten some better ones, but I think that's a good list.

if you had posts from the guys from happy tree friends they'd replace john and richie.

1- pampu/ Miguel Soliz
2- legendary frog
3- Bruno Bozzetto
4- chluaid/ Adam Phillips
5- sakupen

sorry for the double post here but looking back, how in the world did EVERYBODY miss miguel soliz?

Not in any particular order

Adam Phillips: Duh.
Dan Paladin: Awsome FBF. Synj vs. Horrid 2 was AWSOME! And I am addicted to Alien Hominid. And he is my favorite flash artist
Gel: wink films, spin, awsome animation in NG VS.
TFC: SIMPLE LINE SEVEN ROXORS! Sooo funny. :D
Knox: he is funny as hell. yes he is. ^_^

whoever says knox is a good flash artist should suck it, all he does is clay mation with SHITTY voice acting, its almost embarrasing to listen to his shitty voice acting

AdamPhillips
Jamesfarr
Mousekliks
Mindchamber
RobsH66

And for the record Knox sucks at animation, its one thing to be funny which hes not, but base this around skill not some cracked out bad claymation that should be on NG next to the actual animations.

*Shouldnt*

1. Knox - (Might not be a great FLASH artist but hell is he one of the most if I dare not to say THE most humouristic guy on NG!)
2. Adam Philips - (Ooh Bitey ;))
3. RobsH66 - (Fallen angel... do I need to say more?)
4. Sakupen - (Walk-Smash-Walk-Smash-Walk-Smash-Walk)
5. David Firth - (Aphex Twin rules and you are weird ;) in a good way)

hey all
alright
We got secretagentbob because his animation is crazy, legomatrix and battle for the portal are insane

adam phillips because he has some fun animation and adventure in prowlies at the river and what not, cool cartoons

legendaryfrog, although i've never met him, i'm sure he's one of the funniest people ever

james farr - cool cool style, xombie

thomas lee - funnest songs, chipmunks gangsta rap, star wars gangsta rap, etc

and also tom fulp (altho this is six), becuz u got some fun games... but mostly becuz u made the wickedest site ever, but not only that, now u're selling a video game that u and ONE other guy programmed... that's insane, 2 people made a game that's in electronic boutique, microplay, walmart, EVERYthing that sells videogames... way to go!

Heres my choices and reasons why I chose them:

1. SuperFlashBros: Decline series (awesome) & Another day
2. Sakupen: Dad's home, which is the best movie on newgrounds right now, and walk-smash-walk
3. David Firth: Salad Fingers, especially ep. 2 & 5
4. EvilDog: Punk-O-Matic
5. Sam T: The George Bush Show

Also i should mention Dave Teatro for Banana Phone, RobsH66 for Fallen Angel, satim for Menya zovut shnur, and TheWeebl for Magical Trevor

I can't decide the order but...

*Randy Solem- ROTMK Series and other VG movies
*Dave Lovelace- Retarded Animal Babies Series
*Roger Weide and Crew- IMP and Sonic Movie Madness n' Stuff.
*Super Flash Bros. and Double Helix- The Decline Series
*Hyperactive Youth and OverBite- Sonic Uncut

one has to be ,AligatorHead he's improve more then any other artist I know
I give him full credit and another great artist would have to be
granfaloon .

1 Phillips-for the brakenwood entertainment
2 Hobbs 666- fallen angel however used premade 3-d models
3 James Farr-xombie series
4 The Super Flash Bros- The decline of video gaming
5 Piconjo- For as troublesome as he is, you do see him a lot and you got to love him. His silly humor has brought many together and will always be famous!

MindChamber

Super Flash Bros. - Decline and Another Day 6
Legendary Frog - Countless great flashes
Randy Solem - Rise of The Mushroom Kingdom 3
-Knox- - Best claymation ever!
Adam Phillips - Bitey of Brackenwood and Prowlies

If I had an ultimate say in the matter, I'd probabaly say Sakupen for Dad's Home and Walk-Smash-Walk, David Firth for Salad Fingers and his other crazy goodness, Mindchamber for obvious reasons (Pico Unloaded and the whatnot), James Farr (Though Im not a fan of the Xombie series, it seems to always be in the top 10), and then Adam Phillips, for Bitey of Brackenwood and Prowlies at the River.

Legendary Frog: Even with a slight decline in his work still a great and funny artist, and his stuff looks good too

The Super Flash Bros: Great stuff like the Decline and Another Day

Pikanjo (J&R)- There flashes made me laugh the most this year expecially the PK series

Gel: Great quality work, good funnies, and some cool new stuff

Mindchamber: Incredible stuff with great sounds

1. Luis
2. James Farr
3. Pikanjo
4. Super Flash Bros.
5. Legendary Frog

It's sad that people like Frog and Pikanjo get made fun of just because they make high quality, funny stuff without having to resort to shocking humor, or cursing. I guess that's what they get for being popular, huh?

Piconjo and his kind suck ass.

Hmm...

5. AntiClock-clock, For making tons of very good flashes, That i thought were very underated.

4.Tommorows Nobody, For keeping the greatest series on NG going.

3. Mockery, Because Their flashes always amaze me, and I-mockery.com is a great site.

2. James Farr, Xombie proves that you can make a succsesfull cartoon without boobies.

1. Chluaid- I think it's obvius that the flash of this year was Prowlies. Great work from this guy, just great.

1. Beast0 - for hostage situation 2 (an all time fav of mine had to say it)
