Description
Whew!! This guy's finally done!I really loved drawing this, I've been playing with the idea of making a snowmobile like a dog for a really long time, but I was not sure how to approach it, so I animated it! I learned lots about timing and anticipation and stuff, and I had a great time making this
I WANT ONE OF THESE, it'd be like your best winter companion
I was stuck for the ending, and a friend suggested thisΒ www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4dr4pβ¦
I hope you guys like! Feedback, as always, is appreciated
Made in GIMP, 178 frames
EDIT: Smaller file size~~

Aw thanks! I'm a beginner at animating, I've only really been animating for a year but I really, really love it! It's time consuming but the results are so worth it!

You're welcome! Β Im working on a gift animation for a friend as of now. It's only 33 frames so far. Previously the only things i've animated were small gifs. I agree with your last statement.Β Β

Yeah for sure! I good tip it to play your animation as you make it so you can see where you need more frames Like with my skiddy, the bit where it jumps nose-first into the snow was too fast, and didn't have the air time it needed, so I added about 4 more frames at the apex of its jump

Oh yes! I animate in gimp too so I use the playback option a lot. It's helpful for that exact reason.Β Β Β I'm also coloring the animation i'm working in which means I have to color everything frame by frame. The background however is transparent.

I thought if you have a transparent background all the frames show through

You have to type "(replace)" after each layer name for them not to overlap. (Without the quotation marks but with the parenthesis)Β

huh...cool I'll try that with my squishies, thanks!

Make sure you put a space in between the layer name and the (replace). Β It would look like this:
Name (replace)
You're welcome!Β Β

Thanks again! Ya that's a theme I love exploring, random things moving like live creatures, so for this cutie I referenced dogs playing, and that bit at the end with a fox diving for mice

Yeah, I grew up in the country, and in Canada you see these things EVERYWHERE. Made me think a bit of sled dogs, and how the original name for the skidoo was the 'ski-dog' so that's the inspiration behind this I really liked making this
if I didn't say that already
