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!

Also, I would love to see Zophia's expression when she finds out you drew her in pink and with a skirt on.
I would have loved to see it too. I think I was too rofl/horrified to notice what sort of expression I had.

Well, on droidz,theere were that kind of girl, and a school girl with an even smaller skirt.
Smaller skirt = goooooooood. No skirt = betteeeeeeeeeeer. I can be a stick guy, can't I? Please no skirt? :<

I choose to color her in pink because that way, it's more distinguishable.
I guess the "mazzelhs are green", "my armatar is green" and "Zoph has a green tail" just doesn't stick in peoples' heads.

I'm not offended and you do have artistic liberty, I'm just ... displeased.

I created a thread for people to post random animations in waaaaaaaay back. It's still around somewhere.

How do you use GIMP for animations?

Each layer in GIMP is a new frame, so you will have to draw it like Disney used to. Step by them.
Then there is a filter callen "animation" and &quotlayback" where you can see what it looks like.

Ok ok, I am now happy I decided yesterday to make some improvements in the animation.


Thanks for the warnings
