Ahoy ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the Animation competition. The rules are simple, but for the sake of posterity, I shall post 'em right here for you to read.
Ahem:
- A sprite is supplied, with a theme.
- Participants must use the given sprite for their animation.
- Each competition will last 11 days.
- The starter of each competition will decide on the winner.
The winner, who will decide on the next competition's theme, must also supply a sprite.
And without further ado -
the sprite! (Many, many thanks to Steve McCrea for his wonderful sprite)

Meet Mika Huy, reporter for Reality-on-the-Norm's local newspaper, The Realiser. Some of you may already know her. Well I thought I'd help contribute to the RON community a bit by featuring a RON character in the competition, so we can have a little more animation, and with any luck, help to spread the word about this great series. There are no limits to what you can make her do, the only thing I require is that it be a loopable animation that starts and ends with the above picture as frame 1. Make it as long as you want.
That is all.
Mika reads a notice of eviction. I was going to do something more interesting but I don't have the time.

Heh. Seems like RON awareness is going up (reference to a thread in Adventure Chat and to this month's writing competition). Wonderful!
On a sidenote - great animation for "Animation Competition"! I could watch that little guy all day.
Whats RON? :-\

I suck at animating so I wont take part in this one.
Just wanted to say that 10 monts are a bit too long for any competition. ;D
Here is my entry:

Ah, pardon that little typo there. It was three in the morning when I typed that up, and I'd been animating the Animation Competition text the whole day. Fixed.
Well, the deadline has come and gone, it seems, and only two entries. Oh well, better than one or none - and two animations is still pretty good, as they will now be available to the RON community for use. Good work, ProgZmax and Mozza, thanks for participating. I personally liked ProgZmax's animation for its smoothness and realism. Subtle and easy to implement. Lovely.
So congratulations, ProgZmax, you get to host another Ani-comp - and are a step closer to a grand slam.
Applause, everybody.
Thanks Caine, new one on the way ;>
