Mmm, I hope this is gonna work :o The preview seems to be glitchy...


So I'm gonna post this here too just so I remember not to get lazy on this. That and also cause I can ask you guys to TELL ME TO FINISH THIS NO MATTER WHAT I MAY SAY.

Because yes, this time I'll try my best to get this animation FINISHED. And by finished I mean lineart, colours, shading and background. Even if it takes me until next month or even longer but I want to get this done and see how far I can go with animating. Reminding you that I'm a total amateur at this, I don't take animation classes yet :XD: I'm only following my intuition there, so any tips and tricks from professional/student animators who might stop by are more than welcome! Especially if you know a way to save the animation in a good quality, with perfect colours and no ugly pixelated gradients. Is there any programm that can do that?

This is my very first time at animating with PS, using actual frames instead of layers like with GIMP xD This is a ton less confusing now, and a lot more handy.

Like usual I used Skye as my guinea pig, NO I DO NOT KNOW WHAT HE'S LOOKING AT. xD Use your imagination ~


So yes, I hope I can count on you guys if I ever start to get lazy with this thing <3 Kick my lazy behind and remind me how bad I want to get this done!

You really have luck on your side if this is a first attempt at animation. It's very smooth and you really nailed keeping volumes consistent, which is a very large problem for starting animators (I am a 3 year Animation student at Algonquin College in Canada). However there are still many things that could be improved on, such as following the 12 basic principles of animation. I would highly recommend adding Stretch and Squash into your character as he currently looks incredibly stiff and stale, making the overall animation boring. You have a nice antic down when he's about to raise his head, which is very good, yet add some slow out from the top position and add more of an overshoot and settle at the end position to add more appeal and life. You have some good arcs going; remember that all animations run on arcs. Watch his eye...it looks flat. Look at Disney character to see they do eyes in profile- the pupil usually sticks out more than the eyeball line to add that 3D look.

Overall, it looks very stiff and flat, but for a first attempt, it is quite good. Continue to practice!

Its kinda scary how his horns disappear near the end :'DD
But daaamn. Y u so good at animating.
I'll have to animate something for school now and I bet it won't be half as good as this :stare:

It's interesting to watch how your skills have developed within the past 3 or 4 years. When I compare this with your very first animation on your old acc- HOLY CRAP.
I exited to see this one finished. c: I'm also wondering what it may be about <o<
