i made every slide completly in paint. i can tell you, it took so long i lost count of the hours. overall, im pretty happy with it though. a friend suggested doing a pixel which was animated, and morphed. dont think this is quite what they meant, but i still think its pretty cool! check it out! i know the panther is kinda messed up, but yeah.. i was having trouble with it, and this was the best i could do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

first version, back legs were completly messed up on the panther

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

second version: back legs of the panther fixed a bit, looks more like its running

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heres the single slides, one by one, for the first version with the messed up legs

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

what are your opinions? good/bad?

Very nice as usual, Shadow. :D That's a heck of a lot of frames. :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I think the panther looks a lot more like a horse. :| Try shortening the neck a little, or maybe thinning the neck. (then again, I have terrible anatomy skills. :P)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very fluid animation, though, good job. I like the colours you used in the sky. :P

i wanted to see this one, you talked about it before...or a little while ago...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways i think the jaguar has more of a "leap" to his stride...which is lacking in his back legs, they are like glued to the ground....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

anyways i still like it...

i know, its a weird panther. gonna go back later (im too sick of working on it atm, been working on it all day straight) and try and make it look more panther-like. it probably looks more like a horse cause it was a horse :lol: just kidding.. not really sure why, i usually do cats well :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for the post!! :D

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

edit: you beat my post, beesafree! when i go back ill also fix up the hind legs. the front legs move well IMO, but as you said the back legs lack the 'leaping' action. thanks :)

its amazing!

 

 

 

though i dont like the fact that the horse is colored in the beginning and then a black silhouette in all other forms

 

 

 

but still great job - 94 frames - must have took a tonne of time

 

 

 

mind telling how many hours :P

it's got to be more than 94 slides....

 

 

 

unless you set the time at different intervals

thats really amazing dark_shadow, hats off to you. :thumbsup: very smooth.

=D> Very good, to bad its to big to use as an avatar.

its now got about 98 slides, had to add a few more in. but the first slide is set to stay up longer, as well as the blank sky one (before the tree re-grows)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks for the comments :D still trying to fix the back legs of the panther.. will probably also add some light shading to the panther and 'black' horse.. though technically theyre dark brown :lol:

the ground & the sky dont move, its like hes pshyically unable to move from 1 spot :

well it did start out as a tree.... :-w

 

 

 

the jaguar (not panther :shame: ... :XD: ) just has enough power to break from it's inprisonment

the hind legs on the panther look unnatural IMO, the front 1s are giving it yeeha but the hinds seem unable to go anywhere past of its bum.

WOOT! beat you to it! :XD: :thumbsup: :

looks great =D>

When the tree grows it has new limbs and such, doesnt just start as a mini tree. Also the horse and tiger needs to go up and down, mainly while running like that.

Wow amazing! :D Really nice, you have to add them in a animated one. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

i meant... panther :oops: wow that was bad for me, dont believe i said jaguar :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i know tree's start with branches, but it woulda looked weird if i did it that way IMO.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i fixed the 'leap' to the stride, so the back legs look a bit better lol. i knew it looked dodgy, i got slack with the slides :oops:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i was considering changing the sky, so that maybe its sunset when the tree is there, then as the horse runs, it turns to night time, then the panther its dawn then day, the growing tree is day to sunset. might take a long time though :shock: anyone rekon its worth doing? opinions?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

heres the updated version:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

i wish the filesize wasnt so big :cry: i woulda liked to have used it as an avvy on this site :cry: :cry: :cry:

I would suggest it would'nt be worth it. It is a lot of work getting a kaleidoscopic sky right. The main thing i dont like is how your susposed to copy paste the sky without loosing the foreground but if you can do that i would say it is worth it.

that's a lot of frames o.O looks hawt tho! \

Rats off to ya!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Great work

 

 

 

I really like the tree/animal concept.
