Hello, and welcome to my second attempt of hosting a MAP -- or Multiple Animator Project!! This time, the song is "Hiding in the Blue" by TheFatRat!! When I listen to this song, I immediately think of my safe havens and comforts that help me destress and allow me to be my true self. These things, activities, and places allow me to be the happier and more peaceful version of myself. They are the tools that allow me to triumph in times of crisis or adversity. I'm sure I'm not the only person who has these sort of comforts -- so I'm calling on you, my fellow animators, to animate what makes you feel at peace. What or who comfort you the most? Before we get started, I'd like to fill you all in on some rules: 1.) This MAP is about joy and comfort. While you can use negative emotions in your part, it would be better if your part had an overarching theme of happiness. 2.) Please no inappropriate, violent, or gorey parts. Once again -- this is a comfort MAP!! 3.) Please no book, movie, comic, etc characters. This should be about you and/or your OCs!! 4.) There is a blue pallet!! I'm also accepting some black and white in the part (if you're confused, just look at the thumbnail to the left (or top if you are on mobile). If your OCs aren't blue, then I suggest adapting them. However, if this becomes impossible (Ik pallets are hard) I might just put a blue overlay over everything. But please don't bank on that!! 5.) Please finish your part in 4 weeks. If you need an extension or need to drop out, let me know. Additionally, only plan on joining if you know you are going to finish your Part. 6.) Please don't guilt trip me if you do not get the part. That said, I am looking for semi-experienced animators. This term is a little lose for me, so just apply!! I'm generally a pretty willing person, so it's more likely you will get the Part than not. 7.) Please NO clones or graphic effects from the looks section. 8.) PMV and AMV are both fine, but I’d prefer AMV 9.) You may do multiple parts if you so choose. 10.) Codeword is any form of the word "comfort". Disguise it well. 11.) If you've been invited, you don't need to provide examples of your animating. 12.) Please use only one sprite per part. 13.) [UPDATED] Please do not complete a part unless I have given the okay to do so AND that you've actually gotten the part. 13.a.) This is more of a warning, since I've had to do it a lot. If you complete the part without following the rule above, you will not get the part. (Hence why there are multiple entries for some parts in the remix section) 14.) [UPDATE] I will no longer be replying to applications that are turned down. Please be patient with me, as sometimes it takes time for me to look at your examples. Please fill out this form to sign up: Username // part(s) you want // 2 or more examples of past animations // codeword Parts (most are around 10-12 seconds long): Intro (Please mention that I () am hosting the MAP): [done] Part 1: [done] Part 2: [done] Part 3: [done] Part 4: [done] Part 5: [done] Part 6: [done] Part 7: [done] Part 8: [done] Part 9: [done] Part 10: [done] Part 11: [done] Part 12: [done] Part 13: [done] Part 14: [done] Part 15: [done] Outro (Please credit every animator and the winning thumbnail artist): [done] I also need backups! If you'd like to be a backup, please fill out the form from before, but specify that you want to be a backup for a part. If I need you, I'll let you know to start animating. Backups: There will also be a thumbnail contest. For this, there is no need to fill out the form. Just remix it and I'll pick when the MAP closes. Entries: more lol, its getting to be a lot XD (I'll add more as I get more entries) Thanks for reading and helping out everyone. I'm excited to celebrate the good of the world. After the past few years we've had, I think it's time for a bit of joy :)
