TANKMAS ADVENTURE 2024!
-
WE'RE BACK IN HOLIDAY BUSINESS!!

It's a pleasure to be able to bring back Tankmas with the help of two incredible colleagues in holiday hijinks: seasoned Tankmas veteran (and incredible artist!) @MrShmoods , and the legendary NG game developer @Squidly . The three of us are excited to organize things this year, and it's not just because of what we're offering - we're excited to see what YOU want to offer, too!

Tankmas? Is that some kind of joke?
Nope, this isn't some kind of cock joke - Tankmas is the non-denominational Newgrounds holiday tradition where people from across the site can log in every day throughout the month of December (plus January 1st, because why leave New Year's out of things?) and be treated to a new piece of art wrapped in a nice little gift box.

You can check out the Tankmas Adventure collection yourself!
https://www.newgrounds.com/collection/tankmas-adventure

(Pro Tip: logging in during December of any year still earns you the present medals! - for example, if you open 2018's December 1st present on this year's December 1st, you'll still receive the medal!)

So do you need only artists or...?
See, that's the cool thing about Tankmas - it involves every portal across Newgrounds!

Cool! So I can do literally anything for this?
WRONG!!!! You are able to do mostly anything, as long as it follows these general guidelines.

Wanna do more? Help each other out! Reach out to others involved with Tankmas for help on your project, or vice versa! - for example, you could grab a musician and voice actor to help make a comic read like a storybook, or you could gather a game developer and artist to help create a minigame, or even grab a musician, some voice actors, and an artist to create an animated short.

I want in on this! How do I apply?
Simple: fill out this Google Form!

It’ll give us an idea of what you want to do for Tankmas and allow us to see/hear/inhale what you can do, and we’ll enjoy it like the best gingerbread Smarties you can find- I mean, please make sure to fill out the form by Monday, November 11 @ 11:59 PM EDT to be considered! We do have limited slots, so while we can’t accept everyone to the project we value what everyone’s bringing to the table for this year.

If you want to propose a game or animation after the November 11th deadline; privately reach out to Shmoods, Squidly or I and we’ll talk further about the possibility of putting it in Tankmas. We’ve got an especially tight cap on the premieres, so no guarantees!

I have questions!
I hope we haven’t answered it yet! Pop any questions you got for us in this thread, then Shmoods, Squidly and myself will be happy to answer the best we can, but we can’t answer everything! Don’t wanna ruin any surprises (don’t even get me STARTED with what happened to the person that yapped about the killer candy canes from outer space).

Sincerely, the Santas

Tails isn’t available, it has to be an alternate version of sonic specifically.

Two-headed Sonic I made up!

this is freakin' cool, what's the blue part between his neck's though?

wait actually it has to be something you made specifically for the collab, it cant be something you drew a while ago. I suggest looking at this spreadsheet to see versions of sonic that haven't been taken yet

Dibs on Burst!

I'll put you on the list! sorry the selection isn't as good as it used to be.

We're bringing back the Sketch Collab for another year, again, or so help us God! Hosting a really big collab last year changes a man or two.

What's the Sketch Collab? Well, it used to be about making a short animation showing what it would look like if your doodles started moving, but these days you can just animate anything for the collab, as long as it follows the rules below! If you're having trouble looking for ideas, consider watching the past Sketch Collabs.

MEET THE COLLAB HOSTS!

@midgetsausage really agreed to host this year's collab despite being under heavy academic workload! Why would he do that? Because he thought it'd be funny if he did exactly that.

@Ozone is, once again, in the middle of something (this time he's moving out of the country, evading authorities) while being a host of a Sketch Collab for the third time in a row! Why would he do that? We will absolutely never know.

Collab Requirements
(They're kind of the same as last time!)

1) As the name implies, this is the Sketch Collab.

2) The animation must be 5-10 seconds long. (If you want to go longer, please ask us very nicely)

3) Try to keep it a Teen (T) rating on NG.

4) No tracing/rotoscoping.

5.) Sound effects are somewhat allowed

VIDEO SPECS:
16:9 resolution, must be AT THE VERY LEAST 1280x720.
File type: MP4 w/ some sound effects
White background, no color (!!!!!)

For the deadline, we're aiming for November 20th, 2023.
While we prefer you wait for the collab to come out before posting your entry, you CAN post your entry anywhere
PROVIDED YOU INCLUDE THE SC2023 END CARD AND/OR WATERMARK!!!

Ready to submit an entry?
Submit it in the Google Form below!

NOW SKETCH LIKE YOU MEAN IT

Sometimes you need a break, a breather, an escape from reality. So you look at pictures of cute cats and get your mind off of things. So let's make some art!!!
Basically I'm gonna make a slideshow of cute cats drew by you guys. Basically all you gotta do is draw a cute cat with a 16:9 ratio that isn't anthro. That's all! The deadline is September 15th. When you are finished dm me and I'll make sure everything is good! If you have and questions dm me!

They usually take about two minutes at least, but I've had two that have gone for almost ten. I don't remember if this was a common issue for me back then, but it feels abnormally slow now. I've used two different computers and I'm getting similar loading times. If there's any possible way to fix this then please let me know. I'd really appreciate it.
