Description EDIT: can anyone see the part where shwish falls through the tree? Because less than half of it seems to be showing up on this...


soo after two days of working on this solid, I finally scanned it. The scanner managed to completely ignore a good couple of frames, and leave a charming black line down all the original pieces of paper, which I'm absolutely thrilled about

So, one day when I don't want to just kill the whole thing, I'll go and hunt down all those missing frames. So if its a bit choppy in places, you know why.

I felt like uploading this now though for some reason, I'll upload the final version when its well, final. In the meantime, have a teaser. And please please please let me know what you think of the textured background)

It SHOULD be 170 frames in total, but my dear scanner made it 158 fully scanned ones. And then lots of little bits of other ones,, the end of a tail here, half a cloud there, and then a ton of just plain blank images left right and center.

How do you make the background stay the same all the time if you're drawing them individually?

the background was a cheat. Its just a texture dumped ontop of all the frames of the animation.

This is without a doubt the cutest and most 'fun' animation I've ever seen. It really brings out Swish's personality, and her expressions are surely d'aww and giggle inducing. Fantastic job so far, my Ama! I don't have any crit, since everything I wanted to say has already been said.

Oh my doodles. I saw this on the day you uploaded it, and fell in looooooove. It is one of the cutest animations I have EVER seen (And it really brings out Shwish's personality :3). And I admire you for having the patience to do it! I tried to do animating once.... ¬¬
I love the way her ears go forward when she lands, it's just so fafafafafasffasfad cutttte. It's brilliant and I'm being slow at typing because I'm sat here watching it ajdawjdaw.
And yes, it all works, and pretty smooth too!

Oh my wyvernywooo, I am SO happy that you think so. Trust me, it was a lot of effort, not to mention the whole scanning it and everything else. Just AUGH. But hip hip hooray! It makes my blistered, exhausted fingers oh so glad to hear this comment, and my eyes oh so happy to read it

Whoopwhoop. Good gif loading correctly.

It took fooreeeeverrrr T__T But I think the end result will be worth it. Not really different from this, just a bit smoother in places where I scan in the frames C:

Flamerella [2011-10-12 01:23:15 +0000 UTC]

OMGosh this is sooooooo cute. you did a lovely job on this animation. and about the texture, I LOVE IT!! it gives it a real classic kinda feel. can't wait to see the finished product. oh and i think the frames where he tries to fly but fails should be slowed down just a little to give it kinda a dramatic effect.

Amadoodles In reply to Flamerella [2011-10-12 07:56:59 +0000 UTC]

Oh why thanks so much for the great comment! Good to hear that the paper effect works, thats pretty much what I was going for as well C:
Hmmm, you could be right on the dramatic effect part, I'll tinker around and see what I can do 8D

Kitty-Cat-Angel [2011-10-11 09:15:48 +0000 UTC]

It's looking good! I just feel like the flying animation is way too fast, needs some slow down. The run cycle is really cool though

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Amadoodles In reply to Kitty-Cat-Angel [2011-10-12 07:54:50 +0000 UTC]

Thanks <3 The final flying animation is missing a few slides which is part of the problem. But I think that it would probably still be too fast even then. You can tell that I was getting a tired of the whole thing towards the end >.> I'll try adding some more frames if I have the time though.

This did take a long time to load, but it's really, really cool! I don't think it's too choppy. I love how happy Shwish looks. It's a fun little animation, and looks awesome.

Amadoodles In reply to LadyElka [2011-10-12 07:53:14 +0000 UTC]

Hooray! I know how long it takes to load, but I don't think that theres much that I can do about it. Thanks so much El. I was going just for something fun. A friend of mine told me that artists always overthing everything, so I decided just to do something fun rather than deep and meaningfull

This is amazing. Like, not only did you take the time to so almost 200 pages...you managed to scan ALL this in one sitting? That's insane.

Amadoodles In reply to Keberyna [2011-10-12 07:51:32 +0000 UTC]

Luckily I have a scanner that can scan a small pile of pictures. It did pretty much take all day to do anyway though. Hectic stuff i tell you.

This is probably one of the cutest animations I've ever seen!

Overall, I think this is very well put together, and very smooth, despite those missing frames I can't wait to see the final version!

I really like the textured background btw ^^
