Good luck!
EDIT!
New sprite uploaded.
You might want to supply a pixel perfect sprite instead of a resized one.
Sorry about that guys. Uploaded the wrong sprite.
Thanks for pointing this out Ildu.
No entrys? ???
ok, this is not the kind of sprites we like to animate... :-\
But if you don't make any entrys, this animation wins! ;)

This is my very first post in this forum and I assume it is ok for me to reserve this space for my entry. It should be ready before the closing date.
EDIT
This is my attempt to animate a cat that starts off at a trot and the speeds up to jump over a ball. Maverick I hope you don't mind that I changed the original sprite, as the hind legs were the wrong way round ???. I know background effect will not be judged but it just made it easier for me to animate the cat.

It seems that their is a problem with the server you uploaded to cause all I get is "GATEWAY TIMEOUT"
2 Maverick: I sent my gif to you via email.
2 all: Has anybody the problems with my picture? If yes, please PM me, I have to check what's going wrong... ???
I really cant see it either :(
Quote2 all: Has anybody the problems with my picture?
Nope. It's the big cat walking, ain't it? Displays ok here. He jerks a bit, though, don't he?
Morgana
You are correct about the leg positions :-[.Nice job on the animation! As for everyone else please accept my humble apology for the peg leg cat. This is what it should have looked liked.

One problem here I have is I don't know how to do the background transparent thingy... oh well.
EDIT:
I just noticed! If I win this one, I'll be in the hall of fame! wheet! *fingers crossed and burnt to chacoal and put into water and turns to dust and cries in unbelievable pain*
Hehe, the entries are interesting.
I feel however that they were sort of rushed, (which I understand) people have lives to live. However I feel some minor changes could of been done to round of the animations better.
* Extra frames
* Transparent Backgrounds
* Attention to the little subtle animations
Goodluck to all!
The verdict is in.
First place: Morgana (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/Goldcat1.png)
In my opinion the most fluent animation.
Second place: Yarooze (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/Silvercat1.png)
A good attempt but like RUI said "He jerks a bit doesn't he"
Third place: Vertigoaddict (http://www.2dadventure.com/ags/Bronzecat.png)
Two thumbs up for being very original!!
I'm not and expert at animation myself but I think we can all learn from Afflict's post above.
Congrats to all and thanks for entering. Let's see if we can raise the stakes for the next round.
Yipeee!!!!
I cannot believe that I've won.
Afflict
Thanks for the advise!!
Congratulations to everyone else and I hope that you'll all enter the next round. I'll start the next round by Monday.
Maverick
