Let's finish what we started!

Posted by RicePirate - July 24th, 2011

One year ago today (so not long after I joined NG), I finished a small and simple segment for the Dino Collab.

Here it is! It was one of the first things I animated, so ... yeah ...

At that time, I'd joined pretty much every collab there was. It was a great way to learn, meet other artists, and get to know the NG community.

While I pretty much broke my ass to finish my parts on time (which were pretty short turnarounds), I noticed that a number of collabs were simply never making it our the door, despite artists racing to meet the deadlines set by the organizers. The Zombie Collab, Space Ghost Collab, Roll-call collab, chess collab, and dino collabs I made parts for ... never saw the light of day.

I don't regret the work I put in. And I still think collabs are one of the best ways to get to know fellow NG artists.

I've got nothin' but love for LilJoey (organizer of the Dino collab), and I've seen a number of the other parts, and some of them are freakin' awesome. So let's do this thang, shall we?

I'm jealous of your naturally sexy voice which is perfect for voice overs like that!
You don't give yourself enough credit!
You've become such a big part of the Newgrounds community in such a short amount of time, that I wouldn't be surprised to see a Tank Award coming your way someday :D

RicePirate 2011-07-24 16:48:41

Your words are very kind ... too kind!

Also, I have *cough, cough* finished another part... for this "other thing"...

FrozenFire 2011-07-24 17:23:20

Hey I plan on driving through this toon pretty soon. My hard drive went boogers so I had to format everything and get all my programs back >.<

RicePirate 2011-07-24 17:23:20

Dude, I totally understand. And if my lines don't sound right with the piece, I'll be happy to rerecord, it's a hard accent to emulate.

VidGameDude 2011-07-24 18:01:26

you haven't joined the 3D collab im currently planning :o

RicePirate 2011-07-24 18:01:26

I can barely draw 2D ... 3D is just one more dimension I suck at :P

JohnnyUtah 2011-07-24 20:07:50

RicePirate 2011-07-24 20:07:50

RicePirate 2011-07-24 21:35:01

Ya right? what the hell is that all about?

JonHunter 2011-07-24 21:59:36

So..
you need people for the Dinosaur collab? or.. is it even gonna meet completion?.. or? Cause I'd join for sure D: (if I'd be welcome that is)

Also, I enjoyed the one you submitted to the portla, nice =)

RicePirate 2011-07-24 21:59:36

http://liljoey50.newgrounds.com/ <-- is the organizer

And I'm pretty sure he's waiting on more parts (or wanting more parts), so if you're serious, contact him asap :D

thanks for your interest

redminus 2011-07-25 03:38:30

No, let's DO and say we did, because that way it'll be true, and we can say it with an air of confidence

RicePirate 2011-07-25 03:38:30

:D go have fun! Get home safe!

coughing-dog 2011-07-25 07:23:36

Yeah, my part for the dino collab still hasnt seen the light of day... I hope it gets finished one day.

RicePirate 2011-07-25 07:23:36

YARRRR!

Pegosho 2011-07-25 10:32:23

Indeed, collaborating is a great way to practice, I learned a lot from the 24HRCs. btw, is good to know yor still being active Rice, I haven't done anything in months, argh! It takes too much time for me to animate a piece. >_<

RicePirate 2011-07-25 10:32:23

Not if you just tween text! WOOHOO!!

JonBro 2011-07-25 14:00:05

Your voice.
It's so perfect and crisp, it's almost scary.

RicePirate 2011-07-25 14:00:05

Engineers ... they work magic... :)

Jom 2011-07-25 16:49:07

I remember that collab. :)
Anyway Submit your chess collab part. Jasper (ginger) and me are tight and he said hes not doing it anymore. SO its dead

RicePirate 2011-07-25 16:49:07

What about the other things I voiced for you, any of those still the works?

Joeylicious 2011-07-28 00:43:09

Thanks for this Rice!!

RicePirate 2011-07-28 00:43:09

Joeylicious 2011-07-30 03:00:26
