Hm fits well for me too, not the best time but not bad either.

I'm game, as long as it is soon.

Soon, but not next week as my final exams are at that time and I'd hardly have time to do anything.

I'm game. I haven't released anything and I've been here for 4 years so it's about bloody time I make something.

Hm, if they mate, what color do you think the offspring would be? 

Very quick, very unfinished:



Can't draw long hair.

Yeah I forgot to decide the 2nd and 3rd place, whopps!

Bah it's a tie, you both get both trophies.

Go for it.

Well at least we got some entries in! Great work everyone, but I'm going to have to give it to Xellie, made me laugh quite a bit.

I feel the same way man, a BUNCH of unfinished projects. The problem with me is I get an awesome idea that I just can't develop into something a few hours long(a great premise which would work as a short game but I want to make medium to long sized games). Also I start by making a whole lot of characters which I never bother to animate other than the playable character.
I think my main problem is focusing more on the plot and the story than the graphics/code.

What the hell is going on in this thread? :O

Seriously, noone?

Liked Mark Borg's entry the most, take it away Mark!

Alright guys 1 day left, any last minute entries perhaps?

Ah thanks Pablo, yeah I was looking through the site before and didn't find anything. I also found the old website that's hosted by Tripod but there are no animation tutorials there. Too bad he took them down though.

EDIT: Oh shit: http://kafkaskoffee.com/tutorials/ Seems they haven't been taken down!

Didn't know where to post it so I'll just write here:

I'm looking for an animation tutorial, the animated sprite was some random guy(I think he had a tanktop on) and the animation was him pulling some metal bar out of his forehead. I'm not exactly sure where I got the link but I'm pretty certain it was from these forums. The reason I'm looking for it is it had a kickass swift arm animation(fast movement is blurred).

Anyone have any idea what I'm talking about or would be able to provide a link?  

Love the entries so far. Cmon guys, 6 days left! 

This is Kevin:



He's a nerd. I want to see him do nerdy stuff. Go.

- Your animation must follow the theme above.
- No size, colour or frame limits.
- You may modify and animate the supplied sprite or draw and animate your own sprite.
- All entries must be posted in this thread by the 24th of May.
- The host of the competition will judge the winner.

The topic is quite broad + some of you might identify with him.

Bonus points for bgs, fluency and humor.

You're still reading this? GO!

Awesomeness! 

Looks great! 

The problem is not the shading, the problem is with the general shape of his body:



Arms tend to be longer than the torso and they would I feel he'd have bulkier arms with more muscle. I've also added gloves, as he's supposed to be some sort of trashmen, and the gloves suit him.

I think your color scheme is a bit dull, with washed out colors. A black jacket instead of a grey one with blue pants would look far better. There are other color combinations aswell though.
