Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

It has come to my attention that "The Newgrounds Collab," is in dire need. It seems as if the collab is not that active, nor is showing much progress at all. This is EXTREMELY disappointing simply because this collab shows so much promises and good work. So something OBVIOUSLY has to be done.

Instead of just simply canceling, It was time to overcome a pretty big decision. I have decided to POST-PONE the activity of the collab to a further given date. A date in which everyone can get back on their feet and redo this thing from ground up. In the meantime, please practice your artwork and animation skills. Don't use this time to slack.

However, this collab is NOT over. It's just going to be put on a delayed state for the time-being until announced it's activity again. This will be done so by providing a NEW newpost, thread, as well as a launch site for the collab, which will be featured on the Tsunami-Productions homepage.

On the new launch of the collab, I most likely will abandon the old list of names, or try to contact the animators prior to the launch to see if they are still interested. I'm just going to build this baby from the ground up, once more and start over. You still can work on your pieces though and send them in at the email below, I will still tally up finished pieces and collect them in a given folder. Hopefully, this time period will bring more attention to the work actually. On the other hand, the aimed date for re-launch will hopefully be sometime this Spring, maybe later. So keep an eye out for it.

To conclude this, I'd like to apologize for the postponing of this. I knew a few were excited to see the competition of this, which is still possible, but not for quite sometime. It's just that many people seem to have a busy schedule, school has started, and summer is in fact over. This prevented alot of progression in this collab. So let's just proceed with this, and just wait for the time we get to see this thing on the road again. Which will hopefully be sometime in the near future.

If you have any questions, Contact me at rudy@tsunami-productions.net

Thank you for your time, and I apologize for the delayed inconvenience.

Have a nice day.

I guess I could do something....I have no solid example of my work though...
Whatever just give me a character and I will do it. If you don't like it whatever, just don't put it in.

That sucks. I like to keep collabs somewhat small for this reason though.

Yeah, I never quite thought the collab would be so complex, when in reality -- it was. It still is active though if you still want to complete your piece (:

Aww =(, Well I am glad it isn't canceled it is an awesome idea for a collab. I am still interested so when you set up the new list of names in the future I'll be taking James the Zebra.

Maybe when you get it started up again, you ask Tom to plug it a little bit more.
Get the community a little more interested, a few bigger names too perhaps.

I think I might have been able to have the piece by October 30th. But hopefully this is for the better.
Gives me more time to break in my tablet, and come back with one wicked tribute!

I'm definitely still in. Right now I'm struggling with music syncing in my animation and getting some more stuff to run smoothly. I am almost done with Waterman though and can get to work on Hominid soon. Sorry for the lack of updates.

Thats a shame to hear, I was actually quite interested in what this would turn out to be. Large scale collabs always seem to have something go wrong. I keep thinking back to the metal gear collab and hearing about everything that wrong.

Sadly I cannot do anything, as simple and typical my excuse sounds: work overload.

I finished and completed and emailed ittttt :CCCC

Almost a month ago.

Oh shit, I received yours. Sorry for my lack of memory :)

Hey there Rudy.
I hope you read this. I just want you to know, that I'm still interested in it and I'm still working reaaaally slow on my Madness Movie, just keep in touch and we'll definitely make a bad ass uber pw3nage collab when the time comes. Just remember it took more than a year for some masterpieces to come up here ^^
