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 I am the current judge of this Contest, so it is going to be motion.

Have been the judge for a while, however I decided to let it stay resting in the pits of the dead threads because previous attempts to revive failed.

Hopefully this won't be one of them!

So yes, theme is Motion!

What is motion?
In this sense 'Motion' can be interpreted however you like - be it the motion of a car driving or a person walking. This is more looking at an object in the foreground moving rather than background scenery moving.

How to post animations!
- Save animation as a '.gif' file.
- Upload to a website such as Photobucket or Imageshack etc.
- Find the 'Direct link' (is likely to end in .gif) and copy it before pasting in to the box that comes up once you click 'Image.'

If it is too big try putting it into a Movie Maker file and then uploading to Youtube!

Or link to wherever it is.

Good luck!
