You are walking in a park one day and encounter a rather humdrum little slug, slugging its way along its sluggy day... but all of a sudden, it does something absolutely, astoundingly amazing!!!

Animate that amazing event!

This topic is great, ill do mine tonight and post it tomorrow morning.

edit: this is taking me a while as my computer mouse is nearly knackered. I will try to do it tonight when I'm on my own computer.

edit 13th: It doesn't look as if im going to enter this one, i need a new mouse for my computer, I will try to either fix my mouse or get a new one in time for the next comp.

Tocsik: Did that slug just commit suicide :o.
Nice work!

Here's mine:

Well... he was going to do something absolutely, astoundingly amazing

.

P.S. It's okay if this entry doesn't count as the slug didn't actually do anything amazing.

No Coolio he just a-salt-ed himself. Okay that was a really bad joke but I couldn't resist :

Count me in. I've just got to remember to do it. At least I've got an idea.

You walk down a park when, suddenly, a grenade flies out and destroys a small animal. Dead animals? It must be the Max Payne bank level!!

Ok Ive done an animation, Its the first animation ive ever done that isn't a walk cycle, hope you like it mash

posting it soon.

Ive no idea what the blue line thats going through it is but It isn't in the original animation so please don't judge me for it

the amazing thing is that it's tail end breaks off and morphs into a second slug

Sylvr · Thu 19/10/2006 17:28:14

...Well I like it anyway...

Madman · Thu 19/10/2006 18:35:25

Is this a contest that requires voting, or does the host decide?

I hold the power, bwahaha!

And I'll gladly wait for your entry Ago75 (and anyone else who would still like to make one) ^_^

eddie hitler · Tue 24/10/2006 14:39:31

mash, have I ever told you how cute you are? you float on a fluffy pink cloud of your own special brand of loveliness. your art, and lets be splendid about this, is the most beautiful thing that I have ever seen, you are kind, soft and delightful, and did I mention how cute you are?
(note that this post is NOT a pathetic attempt to get our wonderful judge to choose me as the winner, honest)

Sylvr · Tue 24/10/2006 15:04:55

Haha good try... :

I've been checking this, waiting for it to be over.... I wonder when that last entry will be making its way here? (No pressure btw)

Ago75 · Wed 25/10/2006 00:17:24

Sorry for making you wait... (but work is work)..

Here's my entry

Dimensions 320x200 - 755 Frames - 25 frame per second (in the original format, no way to convert it in GIF at the same speed).

.. hope you like it ...

sorry for my english.

Thanks for all the terrific entries everyone ^_^. I'll just say a few words on what I liked best about each one:

Tocsik: The melting animation was terrific, and the expression on the slug was great! His happiness quickly turns into terror as the salt does its work ^_^. You also get bonus points for the "a-salt-ed" pun

Coolio: The timing was very well done--it's as if he's stretching, preparing himself for his astounding feat, letting the anticipation build, when WHAM! :o

Fluke: The cartoony stretches in the aftermath of the bomb are a very nice touch, and his blank expression is amusing ^_^

Eddie: Flattery will get you nowhere, Eddie

. Your entry didn't need it anyway, as I really liked the idea you had and the amazed expressions of the slugs ^_^

SilverTrumpet: Very cute! (and a good way of reusing previous entries

)

Ago75: A little late, but worth the wait ^_^. The animation is so smooth and expressive, and his amazing feat was unexpected! O_O

In the end, I declare Ago75 the winner, with his tremendous animation!
Congrats Ago, and thanks to everyone for participating ^_^
