Also I still have to figure out how to set up our e-mail accounts on the new host.

@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 08:19 AM)

As soon as I figure out how to restore it. Sorry, I know I said it'd be done by now, but I didn't expect to have to put up with this DNS crap and other issues that popped up.

@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

So when's the black theme coming back??

@  Uncle Ben : (24 July 2015 - 07:56 AM)

"Should"

@  furrykef : (24 July 2015 - 07:27 AM)

That DNS took longer to propagate properly than I thought it would. *Now* we should be back for good, though.

@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:48 PM)

Or it might be because Bluehost *finally* got around to that server wipe (one week after we'd asked for it) and that wiped out our DNS settings. I'm not sure which and I don't really care. In any case, we've severed our last ties with Bluehost, so this will not happen again.

@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 08:08 PM)

Looks like Bluehost yanked our DNS since our hosting account expired. That's why the site went down a while ago. But as you can see, it's fixed now.

@  Misk : (23 July 2015 - 04:55 PM)

No, they do not.

@  furrykef : (23 July 2015 - 04:27 AM)

The goggles do nothing?

@  Misk : (22 July 2015 - 05:50 PM)

My eyes.

@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 12:24 PM)

Looks like forum uploads might have been broken since last night. That should be fixed now too.

@  furrykef : (22 July 2015 - 01:33 AM)

Heh, whoops! Server went down for a few mins when I borked the config. Looks like it's back up now.

@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 09:09 PM)

It looked like a napkin

@  ILOVEVHS : (21 July 2015 - 09:04 PM)

Fan-fuckin-tastic.

@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:25 PM)

As for the beaver picture while the forum was down, I think Tim drew it. On a napkin.

@  furrykef : (21 July 2015 - 08:24 PM)

No kiddin' about that "Finally!", Shadow. I am *so mad* at Bluehost for never responding to our support ticket. I submitted it early Friday morning and they *still* haven't answered it!

@  Uncle Ben : (21 July 2015 - 06:37 PM)

Maybe he did that himself

@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:25 PM)

Say, who made the cute picture of Beaver Chief?

@  Shadow : (21 July 2015 - 05:24 PM)

Finally!

@  RedMenace : (21 July 2015 - 05:02 PM)

Woooo! The site's back up! Three cheers for Kef!

What better way to start the new year other then doing a 7 day Guest Comic Week! Thats right! Have you ever wanted to draw some Sonic art? Be apart of Sea3on? Have your work shown to thousands of people? Well now here is your chance. Submit a single page comic to me at Paul@Sonicsatam.com along with your name and any comments you wish to be posted with it. Guest Comic week will start Saturday January 1st 2011 and will wrap up on Friday the 7th. And just because we are nice we will put up the start of Chapter 3 on Saturday the 8th. Thats 8 days of comics! Holy crap!

So start drawing and sending me your work. I hope to have at least 7 comics done by you talented people.

Oh yes, I know I said the 3rd chapter was going to start on the 24th but we actually have a nice surprise for you on the 24th and the 31st. Actually, if we are posting something on the 31st it means 9 days of comics, not just 8. Woooo!

So come on, send me your works! Paul@Sonicsatam.com

Due date for this is the 31st of December

Good luck to all of those who enter.

I would, myself, but my art "skills" tend to produce stuff so bad as to reproduce the effects of the opened Ark of the Covenant, or the trunk of the car from Repo Man... Or that guy with the exploding head from Scanners... And I wouldn't want to risk exposing anyone to that sort of horror...

Oh boy Ive been looking forward to an opportunity like this one for a while now...

And what an amazing way to kick off Sonic's 20th anniversary ( I'm gonna party all year you'll see!) "ahem" So as far as entry's goes, i noticed that RedAuthar May attempt a two page strip. My question wasn't so much as if I can attempt one too, but I was a bit curious if I may enter a two page strip and a one page strip. I also have a hard time scripting single page gags/stories but I'm bursting with excitement to give it my best shot.

Secondly are their any particular format the page should be in? I.E. "jpg.,PNG" or file size. And to a lesser extent "content" and "style". I never figured to to go beyond a pg/pg-13 level of content
(although Ive always thought a "frank Miller" style sonic comic would be interesting). But more to the point, does it matter if the art style is specific to the show or not? I.E. "five fingers vs. four, slightly stylized anatomy ect". I am capable of illustrating sonic and company in the same lite as the animated show, however i thought it polite to ask. I was also hoping to use my entry page or pages as part of my audition to do do a season 3 short.

Anywho, best of luck everyone I
can't wait to read the entry's as well as submit my own.

Id prefer JPEG files.

You can draw it in any style you want. In all honesty I'm even hoping we get a few crappy stick-man submissions. Story can be whatever as long as its either SatAM related or FUS/Sea3on related.

You can hand in a 2 pager if you want. As well as as many 1 pagers you want. I'm only choosing the best of what I get in. The rest will be saved for another date and put up.

Why? JPEG looks terrible for certain kinds of images. Sometimes you get an image that looks bad and is bigger than a PNG would be.

I'd use PNG for most computer art, and JPEG for most scanned art (unless it's black and white or grayscale; then PNG might work better). If in doubt, try both, and if the JPEG is smaller, make sure it doesn't have too many artifacts.
