Don't submit unfinished things!

Don't submit intros. Especially when they're longer than an episode! Intros are 5 - 20 seconds; no more. Any longer, and they count as a flash all on their own. This flash had no plot, so don't make your intros into flashes.

Also, subtitles should not be in the same language as the spoken words, unless the words cannot be understood.

DarkspineShanic responds:

1. I'll submit intros if I want to
2. They can be as long as I want, and I intended it to be a Flash of it's own.
3. It's not suppose to have a plot, it's an opening you sack of garbage
4. I'll put the subtitles in any language I want.

All of your statements you made were just "personal preferences". I honestly could care less on your personal preference. It's lower than dog shit to me

Gettin old already.

The first one was ok. This one was passable, and I'm glad you shortened the walk time. Still, this is getting old quick.

If you have thoughts of submitting another with something other than the hat or the tree, and nothing else new, you may not want to.

Please make 'em longer and add a story. Otherwise, the next one might not pass.

Hi. Welcome to Newgrounds.

Just FYI: Newgrounds is for animation. Youtube is for videos.

We're not real fans of youtube here, so please don't submit videos, talk about your youtube channel, or ask us to subscribe.

Please enjoy the animations here on Newgrounds, and submit if you want. Animations are always welcome when they're good like this:

Don't submit unfinished things or 'tests'.

It's not bad, but it's too short and it's unfinished.

The problem is that this animation is a fragment. It's a piece of what could eventually be turned into a movie, but for now, it's nothing more than a part or a bit.

The problem is not if it's bad, but rather if it's good. When it's bad, it gets a low score and gets blammed and is forgotten and gone. Done.

If it's a 'good' piece, then people get confused and may pass it. The problem is that then we've got a fragment of a piece of a bit of a flash floating around newgrounds forever, and what's the point of that? That's not what Newgrounds is about.

What's here isn't bad. But since it passed, it'll be forever unfinished, because if you complete this into a vid, you'll submit the finished item as a separate item and we'll have both finished and unfinished items floating around here, and that's not what Newgrounds is about.

It's not bad. Just, please send thru completed items. :)

You've got the ability.

Too much cussin.
Too much rap music.
Too much racial "humor".

You have the ability, but you use it to make things that no one wants to see. There's a reason your scores are low- you animate about stuff that bring people down. No one wants to hear about n***ahs, wiggers, pot smokin, rap music, Kanye West, being high, gang killin, bitch slapin, and life wastin, and that's what you write into your flash. All that stuff brings people down.

You have the ability, but until you decide to use that ability to make something good, you're going to continue have low scores and waste a good talent. Think about it.

Now, go ahead and vote this down if you wanna boo hoo about it. But Newgrounds will vote it back up because it's true. Listen to your reviewers. They've been trying to tell you this.

As for helpful advice: Continue to practice and work on your projects, but DON'T submit things in the meantime. Just because you can submit, doesn't mean that you should. There are too many people who get all excited and impatient and decide to submit half finished or even almost finished items. Don't be like them. No one goes 'oh great! He finished it!' Rather, they go '...haven't I seen this before?' which lowers their appreciation of your work.

When you get an idea, PUT MAJOR TIME INTO IT! If you can get it done in a day, you're not done. If it takes you a week, you're probably still not done. I've seen many good ideas that passed but have horribly low scores because they got an idea, belted out a quick animation, submitted it, and now they're stuck with a low score on a crappy flash that was originally a great idea and could've been awesome, but they ruined it by rushing. Taking extra time to take it from good to great will ALWAYS pay off. Not one person who has ever had something in the top 50 got it there by submitting something that wasn't 100% finished and was EXACTLY how they wanted it to be before they submitted it. If you see things that can be made better, make them better! Work on them until they're the best they can be.

sonicwithsabers responds:

Thanks for your advice. It's much needed. You were right about the half finished part. I guess I was just over excited, and also with the music, that must've been some sort of error that happened when I uploaded it because it wasn't supposed to start right there. I think I'll look at the audio tools Newgrounds has and adjust it. I've only been doing flash and animating for a few months, so I'm getting used to the feeling, and which sprites to use, and what to add to make it look more professional, so the next movie I submit will be way better than this. That's also the reason I put "test" on the top because it was part of what could be a major event that I just have to develop. But like you said, people won't like poor quality work, so I'll remember that the next time I release something.

It's cute.

It's not poorly done, slightly choppy in the framerate, but not bad. The problem is that it's way too short and it's unfinished.

It looks nice.

But Newgrounds is for animations, not for menus from some other site, no matter how nice they may be.

It'll pass...

But not because it's good, but because you drew her in skimpy underwear. If she wasn't naked, it might not pass, but you went the easy route and made her mostly naked just to sneak your way to a passing submission.

Truth is that this isn't anything spectacular. It's a nice drawing, but it's like 5 drawings on a loop and nothing more.

If you want cheap and easy, then put naked girls in your submissions. You can draw a stick figure with boobs and Newgrounds will pass it. That doesn't mean it's good.

If you want to be respected as a good flash artist, make your animation and story good enough that you don't need boobies and titties and thong underwear and bimbo chicks to get your movie to pass.

Ha! :D

That is a completely accurate depiction of the average Youtube and Myspace user! :D
