Alrighty, this has been brewing in the artistic minds of a few AGers lately - an animation contest!

Similar to the Art Skills Competition we need a few rules in place (largely copy/pasted, so credits to Carlie for parts of this):
1. Must be hand drawn, either on paper or in a program. It can then be manipulated in an graphics program (GIMP is a nice free one with a build in animation filter - google it). Copyrighted images cannot be used. All pieces containing copyrighted images will be disqualified.
2. Submissions must follow the current theme. If you submit more than one piece, please clarify which one you would like to be judged.
3. If your animation is larger than 630 pixels wide, please provide a link to the animation instead of posting it in the forum. Otherwise, the animation will be cut off.
4. Artists cannot win in subsequent weeks. You can still submit, but if you won the week before, you cannot get first place again the next week. Unless only one person submits......let's hope that doesn't happen!

Alright, let's see if this kicks off.
First theme will be ~ Jumping.
It's a basic thing to learn in animation, and it can be anything from a pixelated blob performing up/down motions, to - anything jumping.
Like: http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z121/Mazzelh/Emote.gif
I don't know who will do the judging yet (will be me, if no one else (like Strop?) decides they'll do it).
Deadline for first round will be October 20th, since animation is a somewhat time consuming process. Go make those pixels jump!

Well, if I judged, I certainly wouldn't let myself win... It's a little... I don't know what to call it... But it's not great...

it wouldn't feel right to let yourself win, altough you might have the best picture/animation

Let's just say I judge this first round. I may make an entry, but I will not judge it. I'll only judge other people's entries. Then we'll see how it goes...

Now go make those jumps!

There is some flaws, but GIMP has desided to hate me, so I cannot edit it.
And I just realized I waned it to be an emote, but now it is just a purple ball thing.
No, I am not good at animating either.

Nice squishy ball effect there. Has a nice velocity~
And will win by default if no one else enters~ Come on now people. I know more of you can animate.

I'll try and enter... unless GIMP keeps hating me... Also I can be available to judge later contests if needed (I'm a half decent animator and I know a good one when I see it)
