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!

Hey I just wanted to say I figured out how to make flash animations into .GIF's so you might actually see something from me in the future on this thread.

yeah for today I have everything set up to animate,and should probably have it done before the end of tomorrow,unless I get even more lazy then I already am already(I will be using the some of the same sprites as my first animation,but with some dialogue made from text instead of sound and new effects including 3D effects and such)

hmm first off thanks,but I just noticed that any of the parts that I imported that were not full vector art win I transferred them over to .gif format lost some of their details and quality.I will have to keep that in mind from now on.

hmm howlett if you have ever seen the Dark Knight it made a reference to that,and I made the Sasquatch the superhero.He is supposed to be a joke version of Superman with a red cape,and instead of an "S" on his chest he has the letters "WTF" so while it doesn't directly have any superheroes that you would see in a comic book,that doesn't mean I didn't stick to the theme in one way or another.
