Smears, Multiples and Other Animation Gimmicks

Because of the plug on Cartoon Brew, and because of many of you guys incidentally recruiting new followers by reblogging my posts, I have recently broken the 1000+ follower mark. Thank you all so much for helping this blog grow and become more popular than I ever could have possibly imagined. You guys rock!

Now that I’ve been receiving many more submissions each day, there is something I’d like to address that I should have done when I started this blog, but neglected to do so until now. Instead of people hitting the “submit” button on the side bar, I have otherwise been receiving numerous messages, Facebook notifications, and emails from people wanting to submit images to the blog.

For the convenience of myself and everyone else, I have posted an updated set of guidelines for submitting posts to this blog:

1. You should only submit ONE image per post. If the smear takes place over the course of several frames, you can combine them in a single image file and submit that.
2. DO NOT send images directly to my personal email.
3. Starting today, I’ve enabled image-only submissions, so you can no longer submit multiple links to either off-site images or download links.

Any post that does not follow these three guidelines will be IMMEDIATELY DELETED WITHOUT QUESTION.

Once again, thank you all for enjoying this blog. I’m sorry if this inconveniences anybody, including those who have tried to submit posts in the past. It not only makes things a lot easier for me to coordinate, but it helps keep the blog running smoothly.

There are many more smears on the way, so stay tuned!
