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!

...what?

Seriously, we're here for the sake of a learning process, right? I don't recall anybody saying you were a noob or anything, but that you apparently had a grasp of the essentials of motion, and that's a huge leg-up. I hope you do more in the future.

You were not there, you would not know, though you were mentioned.... I will just pretend I am not here, so I do not get in the way.

Cenere, don't beat yourself up. You'll do fine. I didn't even use GIMP and your ball's pretty darn good. I don't see why you're saying that.

[/encourage]

oh god... can't you start judging now? so bored of waiting...

(can next theme be flash games in general?)

Judging will take place on the 13th as planned... Not that far away.

Cenere, please find some antidepressants or something... I find it amazing how you keep being able to pertain that amount of negativity, despite how many people says good things about your work... Sorry, I know you're having a hard time and all, but it's... So much negativity...

Ohk...here is mine....I hope it counts as jumping, because the red blob is jumping...

I made it in GIMP...I don't know why people hate GIMP so much, because I was able to manipulate it for my needs...and therefore had no troubles with it!

@Firetail:
Any program is fair use, as long as you did the whole animation yourself.
Judging approaches, my darlings. >
About ~24 hours I think. If I'm online then. Tomorrow, anyways.
