Rules posted by Kitiara:

Theme: Create a Flash Cartoon Character on the theme of "My Posse"
Programs: Flash Only
Size: No bigger than 400 x 400 px
Competitors: xxviii, Kitiara, porpous2
Date: March 26th 2003 (two weeks)

You're allowed to scan in an image and trace it in Flash, but the artwork must be Flash only, no Photoshop filters etc. Pure vector art, so no sneaky using gradient fills. Shading is done by 'hand'.

Any other entrants welcome.

OK, you have to create a cartoon character based on that theme. In this case, what I meant was like you and your friends. Pardon my Brit slang. :) You can take that idea in whatever direction you like.

Once you're done, you can post your entry in the thread, either as an attachment or with an IMG tag. Then once the deadline has been reached, a poll will be posted so members can vote and comment on the entries. :)

Lets say no backgrounds, and display it as a gif file. It does have to be drawn in Flash though. :)

Alright, you're all welcome to enter. Just make sure you get your entries posted before the deadline.

I'll also clarify that although the theme is essentially "you and your friends", you can make any number of characters in your image - one, two, three or more. As long as they're drawn in Flash, I don't mind. :)

BTW: I hope I didn't offend anyone with my clear disregard for the rules... What can I say, I like to cause ****. ;) Honestly though, I didn't think my grey circle would count as a background. Sheesh.

well, thats not it, it was because i misread the directions and spent hours on the backround, and i found out that i couldnt, and i didnt no what to say, i needed an excuse... although it wouldve been ok if i couldnt

heres mine, im screwed because rib cages is amazing, and i spent not that much time on this. Also if you all are wondering why its on xxviii's site, its because the file size was too big to fit on kirupa. Think im cheating, then even ask him personally. heres the link, hope you like it. http://www.xxviii.net/swf/friends.swf
