November 9th: Sudomemo Weekly News - Topic: "Jewelry"

Hey there everyone, DeepRising here with the Weekly Newsletter and Weekly Topic competition.

We had a great response to last week's topic “Jewelry”, and a selection of our favorite winning entries are coming up.

But first a word about our ongoing fund raising activities.

Sudomemo Fundraising

We want to develop more educational content, as well as continued improvements and upgrades to our infrastructure.

With more funding we would be able to do more for the community and also ensure a healthier future for the site.

And now, our winning Flipnotes from last week’s Topic “Jewelry“.

Well done to everyone who entered.

In our first Topic winning Flipnote this week by Angelina♥, the wearer of an antique necklace swells with pride, until a comparison with a certain yellow bookish brainiac brings them crashing back down to earth!

The voice-acting is expressively performed and nicely timed, hitting the cartoon punchline with a layered vocal jingle for the classic “Simpson’s” theme.


A bling-hungry wife drops her husband a less than subtle hint to buy her more jewelry in this YouTube inspired Topic winning Flipnote by doser_14.

The careful study and re-draw captures the broad movement, expressive poses, and super-zany comedy of the original with a chunky hand drawn style that we greatly enjoyed.


This Weeks Topic - "Extreme Ironing"

Extreme Ironing (also called EI) is a relatively new and extreme sport in which people iron clothes in remote and dangerous locations.

Wow! Would you believe it? That’s so crazy, and yet so cool!

Check it out on-line. People are Extreme Ironing while mountain climbing, skydiving, deep sea diving, water-skiing, and there’s even a World Championship!

Feature Extreme Ironing in your Flipnotes in any way you like; Come up with new extreme locations, new techniques for ironing, or why not involve your OCs in this excitingly weird and wonderful new sport.

Whatever you decide, bring along your ironing board, and don’t leave any creases!

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 - Extreme Ironing and the deadline for your entries is November the 16th (12pm EST / 4pm GMT).

We would also encourage you to add a description to your Flipnotes, to highlight any details you’d like us to feature in our winner reviews.

Tip: The frame you save your Flipnote on will become the thumbnail, so choose your favorite or add a title page!

Keep on Flipnoting and the best of luck with your entries.
