Well, SSC seems like more of a task to me than actually making it for fun. When I came up with the idea, I was thinking, "Hmm. What will get me Front Page, or a good BA?" instead of thinking of what would be fun/helpful to make. So until I finish my next tutorial, I won't be touching the Skill challenge with Sonic and co. What's the next tut about? You'll just have to wait.

Now I'm doing Audio too! All because of my trusty mic and keyboard. He does flash, he makes music, he can be a VA, he's Dark-Heart! Weird, but true. Although, with the music, I'm pretty inexperienced. Getting better, but as of now, I suck. And I can pretty much only use my own voice with VAing. And to wrap it all up, most people can do that all. Just wanted to mention that I do it too now.

I've come up with an idea for an amazingly unoriginally named flash, "Sonic Skill Challenge!" If you're reading this, you'll get an inside preview of the beginning... Kinda. Beginning:

"Hello! This is Sonic Skill Challenge! Dispite the name, this isn't a flash game. It's a flash move... Kinda. You will see Sonic characters compete in contests of skill to see who's the best! Of course, it's up to you to decide who wins, but they'll all be equally awesome. Who am I? Why I'm the creator of this flash, Dark-Heart. Never forget the dash.

These are the contestants: ((1 idle sprite each of Mighty, Knuckles, Shadow, Sonic, Tails, Silver, Amy, Rouge, and Cream(WTF?))) Only one will win.

Each contestant will be put into a generic obsticle course suited to their skills. They will have two minutes each to finish, and perform tricks to amaze you at the same time. Your favorite contestant may not be who you choose in the end. Only time can tell.

Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this thing started!

Choose a contestant. (Don't worry. You can watch the rest of them at any time. If you've already watched them all, go to the Scene Selection)"

I'd submit my new tutorial today, but it's madness day and my tut isn't madness related. It's a basic sprite tutorial. It would probably be blammed it I submitted it today(Probaby), so I'll submit it tomorrow.

EDIT:Holy crap, I submitted it today and it passed with a score of 3.15! I didn't think I did that good. O.o

I know that now, but still. This is my blog, so I shall continue. 1: I got 3rd in my first cross country meet in Ames, Iowa. And when I say 3rd, I mean 3rd to lat. In my team anyway. I still beat, like, 12 people. Also, I watched a friend of mine play "New Super Mario Bros." on the ride to and from Ames, and that has made me want to start a game review/video blog on Youtube. You can look for "Giga Epsilon" (My Youtube account)soon for some videos. Anyways, 2: I tried to make a group called "The Elemental Envoys," but it was deleted. Maybe they thought it would apply to a magic club somewhere in there. Now, here's a basis of it: Elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Light, Dark, Shade. Sub Elements: Luna, Sun. I am open to sugestions of other elements. Also, normal BBS rules, and please, intelligent posts only. Nothing like "OmG Fier Is Teh ShiTZZ!!" Fire is cool, but not that great.

That's the basis. So yeah, that's the interesting stuff of my day. Oh, I almost forgot 3: I think a (female)friend of mine has a crush on me, which would be weir, cause I have a crush on her too. That's all. See you next time... and on Youtube maybe.

I know that anyone reading this probably doesn't care, but this is a blog, so I'm using it as such. I have joined Cross country (long distance running) in my school, which is over at 5:15 pm (gmt -4)
and I will have even less time to get on and do stuff with flash. Also, I'm frequenting Sonic Turbine, so that's another reason that I have less time. '-_- But you can still expect some more sprite tuts from me, so that noobs won't be as noobish when making sprite movies. I hope that they'll actually raise the skills of new spriters, so that less people will criticize sprite flashes.

Peace.

I have school again! My schedule now is (in GMT-4): 6:38am - Wake up. 7:30 - go to school. 3:10 - leave school. 10:00 - go to sleep. I won't be around much here, but I hope to stay active and continue to animate to the best of my abilities.

PS: I'm in the bd class for not doing my homework very much since 4th grade. I'm in 8th, btw.

I just wanted the people who might care to know that I'm getting back to a normal sleep schedule. wake up around 6 am GMT-4 and go to sleep around 9 pm GMT-4. Also, School starts for me next Tuesday. So I'll be getting on less and have less time to really do anything involving NG or flash. On a side note, I was gonna do something for clock day, but I've decided to clock out. It wasn't to good of an idea anyways. If you like sprites, make sure to join my collab (or alternate NG link)!

I'm starting a new sprite collab on ngcollabs.net called the Spriter's Last Retort Collab! If you like sprites, I'd love to have you join. This thing's just starting up, but the more people interested in the Idea that see it, the better it'll be. the catch is that it's not your ordinary sprite collab that's meant to make you laugh or say something like "oh. Fart jokes. This is getting a 0". Instead, it's theme is sad/serious. To create a scene that the watcher might enjoy and possibly cry. It strays from the ways of normal sprite collabs because of that. Even sprite haters might mildly enjoy it, being that it itn't stupid jokes thaat you've seen since you were born over and over again. So long story short:

Join if you like animating sprites.
