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!

I don't know what either one of these will do, so let me see real quick...when you select your animation, after publishing it, it gives you a URL. I don't know if this is a direct URL so lets find out...

yeah right now it seems you will have to supply links to all of animations made from that site. That is the only advantage to GIF files is that they can be put up as images on sites. I don't think DoInk has that capability yet. Although I tried out the animation system and found it even more similar to flash, except it seems to specialize in the animation process, making it easier and quicker to animate, while taking away the ability of interactivity because of this. An example is that any drawing you make is automatically turned into a movie clip symbol(anyone who has learned flash animation should understand what this means) Anyways I got started on my animation yesterday, but procrastinated on it and am still not done. I think its a good idea so far though...

Nope, it's not a file format that can be placed in a post on AG. Your link works, though, and that's good enough.
