Description The same thing, only I added a hungry vampyrum bat in there.

Again, I had no references. All of this came out of my head in one go, so the movements/ body posture aren't perfect.

Same thing I said for the animation of Melody flying.

Not bad, mate. Not bad. I wish I knew how to animate.

I checked this out before commenting, and I thought about how this sort of chase might go over. The smaller bat - a silverwing, perhaps? - has the advantage in size as applied to slipping through obstacles, and possibly in speed. The spectral bat, though, could possibly plow through said obstacles, depending on what they are, might have more stamina, and would probably be a bit more maneuverable.

All in all, this is nice! Bats are some of my favorite animals.

Thanks! I didn't know how to animate before this. I self taught myself by watching youtube videos about the program firealpaca.

That is probably how the chase would go about. ^_^

I'm not really sure what firealpaca is, but my memory (or lack thereof) would probably hamper my animation attempts.
I've read Gone Batty twice, and I like it. Perhaps I'll try drawing the characters interacting with some of my Animalia-verse bats.

Cool! I'd be interested in seeing that if you do.

For a sketch, this looks good ! You don't have to worry about if it looks perfect or not as long as you can get the timing and movement desired right, that's what's important !
My only critique would be about the bat's wings movement. Bat wings mostly tend to go in a circular pattern

Imagine your shoulders doing a circular movement ! It's all about joints and how the air affects the wings' membranes when they are pushing up and down.

Hope I could be of help !!

This is really good animation I'm trying to draw bats flying just like this but it's really difficult when it comes to the wings. But anyway great jobΒ

Yeah, the wings are the difficult part!
But it's so fun despite that. Β

I'd be the worst teacher ever. I'd just say "you just ...do it." xD


YouTube tutorial videos for firealpaca are the way to go.

I used to animate my skill just kinda withered with my ability to draw so I can;t animate characters since its heavily reliant on drawing but I can make 3D backgrounds and 2D ones move about and such which if you plan to make some sorta full on scene I'd gladly help with.

Hmm, you should try to get back into practice, that is if you want to. You have drawn quite a few incredible things before.Β 

That at would be awesome! If ever get to making something like that, I'll let you know.

You're welcome. It helps me studying the shape of the head and the ears. Those seem to be a problem with me. I can get eyes the way I want. It's the rest that's a problem. Right now I'm sketching before I can do the pictures I want for the comic stripe.Β
