You gotta export it before you submit it. Do 'File / Export / (name it, save it somewere)' then try to upload it.

Thanks, Moggers, I'll try to work on something tonight.

Yeah a .fla is the document you work on it's the source file. The portal only takes .swf files which are the published movies. You need to export your animation and upload that go to
file > publish it will export a .swf file in the same folder as your .fla file. If you test it you will see that it is not an editable source file but your animation.

Gangsta Jesus up in da house.

Well, that didn't come out as big as I had hoped.

Thanks That Really helped!

Stuff about the old community and Mogly's post

Yeah i totally agree with you BMK and Mogly, Kraig should draw more things. What i have found to help for inspiration or just something to draw is think of an animal and draw it the way you see it or with your own spin.

Speaking of animals, something i whipped up. PLEASE does anyone have any tips or guides on how to shade/shine wet things?

I like it, although the whiteout eyes and the blotchy colors are reminiscant of about half of the users of the art forum's style, it's still good. Especially since you've been using the style long before them, if I remember correctly. =]
Don't see him having room for six more tentacals off the screen to the right, though. =P
The composition is nice and I love the way the forward tentacle looks. Good job.

About making him look wet; I'm not sure but things that are submerged entirely in water don't really look all that wet: http://chemistry.csudh.edu/faculty/jim/cozaug o4-600/octopus.jpg
It's when things leave the water that they get the wet look:

Thank you, i do agree that my style is about the same as many of the people on this thread. I got extremely lazy with the tentacles so uhh yeah i should stop getting lazy and challenge my self so i can get better. I enjoy drawing realistically on paper, because its MUCH easer than on Ps or Flash, but i enjoy drawing in this cartoony pupil-less style while using flash, because its easy. Should i challenge myself and try another style?

After school has been out i have seem to have lost all of my pens and pencils so i can't draw on paper D:

Yeah i had a hard time finding guides, tips, or pictures with the shine i'm looking for/talking about. You pictures did help but... i dunno i can't seem to find a high res pictures of wet creatures.

Haha thanks for the laugh. I don't really know what i could critique, no offence i just can't really give any advice XD

Another bandwidth filler...

It looks alright, but I think the gradient at the bottom ruins it a bit. It's all just with one colour for each bit, then the gradient is just there. I think it looks to 'sudden' too, like stretch it out more (the gradient).

What do you think of this run cycle? I don't think it's fantastic, but I like the movement of it - does look like a soldier. I wanted it to look quite puppet like, which is why I just used symbols for the body pieces(leg top, bottom, arms, gun, head) rather than FBF. Err, well actually that's how I justify it, really it's just being lazy :)

I think it looks wicked. The run cycle is pretty smooth, and yeah, does make him look like a soldier. I wouldn't suggest anymore changes to it really.
With the shooting one, maybe some shading on the soldier to liven up the burst of fire, and some recoil when he fires it.
But yeah, looking very cool.

Hows this background, in my current movie that im working on?
I was pretty happy with it, but i think there's probably a lot more i could do with it.

I really like it, although I think the trees feel to repetetive. Trees are simple enough to draw, why not just draw each one alone rather than duplicating one? You could then vast it out a bit more, have the horizon in shot or whatever.

The dojo looks really nice.

Looks nice, id work on the colors a bit, explore the grey areas of colors.

Nice bald guy, shading could use a bit of work but all together has a good cartoon look. =]

I posted this in my speedpainting thread in the art forum (even though it's not a speedpainting) but I feel bad for not posting in this thread in a looong time so here's to the days when this thread ruled the Flash forum.

I did this for the Environment of the Week thread on the conceptart.org forums called Solomon's Temple. It's 4000px across :D

Full Quality... Full Size (2.3 mb)

Hey guys. I am making a game and need a little bit of art. It isa very small part so don't be expecting co-authour, but I promise you a credits part with a link to your site or where ever you want it to go to. If you are interested please PM me a piece of your artwork and I will contact you further if I liked it. Also, I am planning to have the game sponsered so it will e a good chance to get known better.

Thanks BMK and womble!

Here is a preview of the animation I'm making. It's actually the wallpaper that's going to be included in it.

I know it's not very original, but I just picked a scene to test my animations on.

Did you draw the guy in the background? It's very nice if you did. If not, sorry I guess but I dont follow FF so I couldn't say whether you did it or not. Reminds me of the GTA loaders a little.

Pretty nice, but I gotta say you can appreciate it alot more NOT at full quality. I think it was a mistake to publish it at the same size as you created it at, even if it would of been limiting it - maybe it'd of been for the better. I really like the bit to the right when the light comes in, how it isnt so defined in the concaves of the grass, but then is as it gets closer to the camera on the far right, as it turns into more of a hill & divide (that was rather hard to explain..)

Oh, I drew it, but I mean that's not my character. That's Sephiroth from FF7.

Would anybody like to have a drawing 'contest'? Not so much a contest, just we all draw something to do with the same theme, then see how they all turn out. So for example.. Dinosaurs, cars, superheroes etc. Post a theme if you're interested n we can get on it.
