Description
I saw I had no Flash work in my gallery, so thought this was a good enough time to put some up.This effect was surprisingly difficult to achieve, with no tutorials apart from my existing knowledge of the media. The Jark figure is based upon ` warfish 's and $liquisoft 's pictures, which I redrew as a vector in Photoshop, once with just the highlights, and once as the whole body. Spyed, as you can see, is based on the same platform, but I tried to make him look sufficiently different - explaining why he looks worse, as I had no point of reference. The effect was actually complex to achieve but I like how it turned out.
This is for all those people complaining about what they can't do on dA - after all, we're not paying to be members so they're doing a favour to us to allow us to use this place (while Prints is a favour from us
Yup, thats pretty much everything I have to say.......
**EDIT**
Sorry if this keeps appearing in your inboxes, people. I keep having to update the credits for the $jark model

we're not paying to be members so they're doing a favour to us...
Actualy Yes we are.... i dont suppose deviantART gave you your * as a charity did they? i myself had to pay for it. so yeah i would say we ARE paying members and they're not doing us any favours

There's a reason why I used the word "member". I know this could be slightly ambiguous, but I meant we're not paying to be ~ , but if we want to show support for the site then we can pay a small amount to enjoy a few more features as a *
(for which I would have said "subscriber") They don't force us to subscribe (I know some would argue with this) but I spent £4 for a 3 month subscription to access even more features, and for the small price it's worth it.
Sorry if you misunderstood what I meant

woah... the noises... the aliens... the colours,... the fades... looks like somekind of proffesional type thing. have you changed the animation already, or am i seeing the one you don't like, cos i think it is very smooth.

This is still the original thing - I've decided I won't change it as it would require a lot more work It's just that in Flash at 120fps it looked silky smooth - obviously the net (or dA) can't deal with that high a framerate, so it looks comparatively jerky. If I hadn't known what it looked like before, I guess I would have thought it smooth
Thanks for the comment

Hmmm...... seems 120 frames per second is overdoing it a bit - I wanted super-smooth animation but I guess I'll have to revise it.... *runs back into Flash*
