And now, here are the winning Flipnotes from last week's topic "Bubbles".
Well done to everyone who entered.
In this Topic winning Flipnote by Vinyboiler, a slumbering Super Mario is animated with a Japanese style Sleep Bubble instead of “ZZZs” as a visual metaphor.
Rendered with an extremely fine line, in varied shades of blue, the character’s cycling snooze action combines several overlapping movements to achieve its effect.
A watched pot breaks the proverbial rule, as it boils merrily away under the bubble-scrutinizing gaze of a favorite Henta OC in this Topic winning entry by RunieDesu♪.
We loved all the characterful touches, like the wing flap and the casual scratch that bring the performance to life with such authenticity.
A Hope duelist of the Hyun Dojo electrifies the bubble realm with an effervescent display of martial arts in this winning Topic entry by MⒶZOkidox.
What a fantastic idea!
And the substitution of the fighting staff for a bubble wand was absolutely inspired.
In a gloriously glutinous display of bubble blowing prowess, this creator’s PC thrills us with a snot-bubble of titanic scale!
-FLIGON- conquers the challenges of animating such a substance with transparent bubble clarity, strong hi-lights, and a mucilaginous pop that leaves nothing to the imagination!
A wandering stickman has an exceedingly ironic bubble encounter in this hilarious, table-turning Topic winner by Korrigan.
That’ll teach him!
This Weeks Topic - "Waxwork Museums"
Nowadays, waxwork museums display extensive wax statue collections of famous people, as well as themed, interactive exhibits, and immersive experiences.
The best known of all waxwork museums is Madame Tussauds in London, with over 150 life-like celebrity figures, which visitors can wander around, enjoy, and take selfies with.
Your Flipnotes could involve waxworks, or waxwork museums in any way you like.
Here's some quick ideas as examples:
How waxworks are made, the glamour and excitement of a museum visit, mistaking wax figures for actual people (because that’s how real they look!).
Or why not create your own waxwork museum or themed display, with figures of your favorite characters from cartoons, movies, or Sudomemo, (including, of course, your own OCs).
Whatever you decide, let’s all sculpt a waxwork Flipnote, and start casting a Topic entry today!
We really love the way you're all so creative with these topics and look forward to seeing the Flipnotes you create for them.
Make sure to post your entries to the Weekly Topic channel Weekly Topic - Waxwork Museums and the deadline for your entries is November the 24th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).
We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes. This is your opportunity to explain any points of interest and specific details that we could feature in the topic winner reviews.
And don't forget, if you want a cool thumbnail picture on your Flipnote, whichever frame you save the Flipnote on, that will become the thumbnail. So choose your favorite frame for this, or add in a cool title page at the end, and save on that.
Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
