Artist Battle Thread

Once I've got the time to do another comic, there will be MASSIVE RETALIATION!
And everyone seems to have forgotten about the massive ary of demons laying siege to the city!
But until I have time, I guess I'll just have to watch - don't think Rictus can be outsmarted (unless he's in one of his irrational moods).

@Marco: Not all forgot it ;)
The siege army was the main reason behind the construction of my hammer-hamster,
a huge goodass which is capable to do serios damage to the lower
demons around the city and cant be stopped the regular way.

@theravenguard: I´m sorry when my english is that bad.
Maybe someone try to correct me so i get a chance to be better,
since i dont know if my stuff is correct or not :\
I will find a more or less creative way, dont worry, just dont have time to draw today.
But next time, come up with something better, which is also "unsucky", like you call it.

Marco...rictus has irational moods? heh.

I finally got around to doing something. May I present not a comic, but a animation short. Not sure if I can put it here so http://www.transolar.com/artistbattlerflash.htm has the flash and nothing more.

There was nothing that seemed like it would be educational to draw, so I decided to try to improve my meager flash animating skills. If the dialogue is to fast let me know, I can recalibrate it some.

ummmmmm, keep practising...the walkin is pretty bad.

Now for some semi artist battle related spam:
Alexian, what version of flash do you have? I learned it on flash 6, but my comp has version 5. Whenever I make a motion tween and stuff, instead of moving how it should, it either stays the same and then suddenly becomes the next frame, or slowly glides down the screen. Could you help maybe? I need to improve my skills for the cartoon thingy advertised in my sig. Also I was planning on doing some stuff with flash to either advertise this thread, or make comics with it.

If you could help, that'd be great.

isnt flash 7 out? i dunno...

you should really check out a few flash's and see the quality, put a little more effort and time

this is a good flash and a favorite http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/121747
has blood and gore tho...

anyways i was thinking of doing flash a while ago but realized my computer sucked and wasnt compatible

*btw, animate the fire*

I can't see the flash . . . could someone tell me what happened?

EDIT: By the way, Shadow, now I will have to beat you terribly in a future comic.

rofl, my guys been stabbed, burnt, and trampled, what makes you think youll be any different?

Personally, I think that homestarrunner.com tops that flash any day. Go to the strongbad emails and other such awsome crap. Or click on first time here, thats fun too... Ok it all is.

bah, i dislike homestar, not a fan, half the time you can barely understand what hes sayin

Because Rictus is intimidating, mildly insane, and 3/4 evil. Ken'tel is short, mildly annoying, and 3/4 water.

EDIT: I would very much like to know what's going on in the flash, by the way. Not knowing can really slow down the comic-creation process - unless you'd like another fraction in the time line.

Basically, Alexian's guy was in some passage or something at the entrance to somewhere's in heaven, and then got caught in a green net of magic.

It isn't so much as I need practice with the walk as I would need to put more time into it to have it look good. There is a reason why most flash cartoons either use incredibly simple legs or change scenes quick rather then trying to show a full walk.
Marcos, the flash is of the fallen angel finding the exit to the hidden passage is blocked by magic fly paper and dispells it. He wonders if the angels really take him to be that stupid, and his answer comes when he steps on the hidden the second fly paper trap and gets captured against the ceiling.

Xaratoga I use Flash MX, but the process of animation is the same for all. You create a symbol for the character, then you enter the symbol and then manually redraw or rotate parts of the character every few frames and set key frames and each change. With enough frames a very acceptable walk is acchieved, but it does take alot of effort. Then when you put the animated symbol back into the cartoon it animates on its own constantly repeating the cycle. Now you can motion tween it all that you want because it counts as one object. Very necessary to stay with simpler is better whenever possible, a rule I always forget.

rofl, but ken'tels serious when he needs to be... *ahem, stop sign*

errr... ya, heres me in a few bandages

*its a tad big in size, sry for you 800x600 users*
