Irons in the fire and only dignity to lose

I've been here for over a year, and still no submissions made. :P

Well, technically I've got two parts in the nearly finished Boulevard Collab, but that doesn't count yet.

Still, I'm hoping things will change very soon. I've got a pet project almost done (it's kinda sloppy, but I'm too lazy to overhaul it) that just needs a couple more sound effects and all the sound made into one file.
Another project in the works is a very short but to the point animation that might be a bit of a risk submitting here due to the 99% male viewing audience. :P It just needs a bit of lipsynching, a tiny bit more animation, and voicework added.
Also on the list for near completion (within a month, anyways) is a submission, possibly two for the Final Fantasy Collab. For that, I might ask for some voiceacting help, but first we'll just have to see if this collab actually pulls through with good content or flushes itself down the crapper.

As much as I wish I had more complete/nearly complete animations to tell about, all I've got left is a handful of half-done projects and a whole bunch of ideas that have yet to make it past the sketchbook stage. :<

Someday I'll be good enough and organized enough to get these things done and out of my system, but not for this year.

Don't worry, kiddo. Do you know how many people there are on NG that have been here longer than a year and also haven't contributed anything? Good art takes time. Look at all the portal submission that start off, "tihs is muh furst flash evar it took me 1 hour its mario sprites fighting wit dbz powers and im only 13 so vote 5 pleaz." I don't think you need worry about beating any of the competiton to the punch.
Your first submit might have been a one minute poop joke, but it's still superior to 99.9% of the tallentless garbage that somehow gets approved by anime-fapping, gay bashing, Halo-geek children too young to grow pubes that populate NewGrounds.
If it weren't for the occasional nugget of originality leaking into the portal every once in a while such as your flash and several others, I'd have taken my own life while drunkenly cursing the name Tom Fulp by now.
Keep in mind that here you have no deadlines. Put as much or as little effort as you want into what you do, just be sure it's what YOU want from your art. Don't create for anyone but yourself. You are only sharing it with us once it's done. It is we who should be thankful.
Take it easy and stay the course (ewww, I can't believe I'm ending on a George W. Bush catchphrase. What a fuckin' loser.)

p.s. - don't take no shit from these kids, they are not human. They think "Naruto" is "art," the souless little hellspawns.
