Shade · Wed 23/08/2006 19:02:16

since Ha Ha I am OK is busy at the moment i have the honour to host my second Animation Challenge.
i hope that i represent Ha Ha I am OK well.

i think you all know the rules so heres the sprite:

this creature is a FÃ»rlÃ®ng (Fur-ling).
well as i heard that i have to host this competition i directly started to work on a sprite because i wanted to start the competition as soon as possible and so i hadn't the time to think of a better name. anyway it's a new race

animate the sprite in any way you like. everything from a quick wink over headbanging to war will be accepted.
there is just one restriction: no animal porn pleaseÃ,Â

btw there will be trophiesÃ,Â

i want to see many entries! so get ready, GO! and have fun!Ã,Â

I'm not soooo bad, Shade! I didn't ever think about making animal porn of your sprite.

I thought it is a girl in a FÃ»rlÃ®ng costume and I can undress her...Ã,Â Ã,Â :

Shade · Sun 27/08/2006 23:09:09

oh yea right!

but i noticed something: if you undress the girl in the costume it is no animal porn

Shade · Tue 29/08/2006 14:38:44

half the time is over and no entry till now?Ã,Â :'(
probably my sprite is bad or nobody likes the animation challenge anymore.
COME ON! gimme an animation!

I felt kinda sorry for you so I made this poor excuse for an entery. I forgot to save one frame in the arm wave animation and was too lazy to re-do it.

Please plz pls someone else enter so Captain Jack doesn't have to give me all his prizes for this silly entery

Shade · Tue 29/08/2006 16:09:24

thanks o almighty Buckethead

Buckethead · Tue 29/08/2006 17:19:30

Shade · Tue 29/08/2006 17:34:40

Quick and dirty:

Could have used some cleaning up, but it took longer than expected

Photoshop and mirror

I study the movement in front of a mirror. Try out the poses with stick figures. Then I draw points for joints in photoshop, connect the points, shade and add copy pasted elements from original.
It's a pain to do this in Photoshop though. Theres no good way to check the flow of the animation while drawing hence the wierd drifting movement. My working file for this contained around 260 layers and it took me 5 hours to finish it $:-\$

Shade · Sat 02/09/2006 23:46:52
