What is this I don't even...

you should get help somehow. Having a mental breakdown over a line art of the week entry is not normal.

i mean, normally i wouldn't accept it, but if it means THAT much to you, then i guess there is exceptions.

That's just strange. Don't be a procrastinator, just leave and fix your life up.

...WHAT?

wow, just wow.

Interesting idea. Very creative.
I would suggest a subcategory of LAotW specifically for animated Line Art, but seeing how infrequently the standard LAotW happens I don't think it'd be used particularly often. I don't think it'd be fair to have an animated entry paired against still shots, though, so idk. =/

mental breakdown over some line art on a forum that's half dead in a contest barely anybody enters? ... are you ok? I'm not saying it's a bad idea or it's a bad .gif (i haven't even seen it tbh) but honestly, expulsion from school? mental breakdown? It sounds to me like there's a lot more to it than just "It didn't get accepted?!?! WHAT!!!"

I knew that would be it.

I suppose no, but you can enter it in motm/w because it pretty much is a short movie.

if it's scenery-based you should be able to enter it. regardless of if it moves or not.

people saying no are just being anal.

No, animation is totaly not ART.

it's not really art in the same sense though

Is this a joke @ first post...

My take:
Animation IMO shouldn't equal "lineart" (read: still art) in that in animation you actually have many frames of art in one "piece of art". So it's not fair in this sense. You could have an animation that morphed one artwork into another, making it two pieces of art in one, in the same space. Again, not fair due to superposition which is not really feasible in nonanimated works.

We could be going down a slippery slope set by this precedence.

One thing, if you (or anyone else) were to do a really good animation, even if it was a 10 frame loop, would it go in LAotW or MotM?

art doesn't have to be still.

now, let's look at this literally.

LAotW

it is lines
it is art
it's entered in the week
this is a valid wntry, animated or not. he even went as far as to enter it in a format that is applicable as an image. stop with the buttwhining just because he probably woulda won.

Hop off your high horse, bro.

Since you want to take a look at this literally, why don't we examine the rules of LAotW for a moment.

LAotW Rules wrote:
Rules:- It must be a screenshot of a version of Beta 2 or Beta 3
- No part of the screenshot must have ever been entered before (this includes on the old IRTL)
- You must have made at least part of the screenshot, and you must credit anyone else who took part in making it (e.g. credit the trackmaker of the track you're scening)
- You may only enter one screenshot per week
- It must NOT be edited, (even if the track is an editing track!) other than resizing, cropping, or "stitching" together parts of a track. If we don't believe you, we may ask for the .sol.
- Tweakwindow/Powermenu are STRICTLY against the rules. If we see anything that looks suspicious we will probably not give you the benefit of the doubt. (Advice: don't copy a picture in any way )
- You MUST PM Commandercoke your entry. Entries posted in this thread will be disqualified.
- Do NOT post that you have or will be entering. Entries are intended to be secret until voting begins.

Applicable rules are bolded. Notice a couple things about iPi's entry. 1) It's not a screenshot. It's a series of screenshots. All right, whatever, one could argue that it is still screenshots and therefor still follows the rules. Fine. 2) It's edited. No doubt about it. The screenshots were edited together so that they would play in sequence and in a loop. Yeah, it's still an image file, but the fact remains that many frames were edited together to form something that they originally were not.

So no, by close examination of the rules, iPi's entry is NOT valid, KillinTime.



Sorry, iPi. I still love you, and I love that you followed through with an animation in LR, but now that I took a look at the rules of LAotW, it really doesn't seem to me that entering an animation abides by them. =/

by that logic, I could enter a gif of the recording of Bolted to the Wall in LAOTW. It's lines, art, and "entered in the week" (whatever that means)

except that you have already entered parts of that in laotw rabid

it'd be alot better than a million entries out of random tracks all the time...

When the rule "it must not be edited" was put into effect, I am pretty sure they meant like in photoshop, or paint, not as in pictures places in order.

Im pretty sure editing means any way of editing.

"Is this a joke @ first post..."

That's how i felt at the beginning.

Really? Why are people even arguing over whether it's valid. There is a much more serious issue at hand here. I think you really should leave for a while.

Not just irtl, like, talking to any of us maybe because that would just make you want to visit the site. Not trying to say i don't want to talk to you but...you should be spending your time on other things to fix yourself up.
