Description "There's really no need to be nervous, you know?"
"I know. But that doesn't mean I'm not worried."
"I'm worried too! Poor kids - when you get into explaining something, there's no stopping you!"

Commission for ReignBeaux-XIII from August 25th. Apparently, it's Alisa's first lesson - and even though she have felt nervous, she quickly loses herself in her passion for teaching. Chaotic Note totally told her so.

This image features cinemagraphs in other cinemagraph. "Yo dawg" and all that.

Technical
Still image created with inkscape , with some background resources from MLP-SVG-Resources group. (Nobody to credit, it's all my own.)
The animations were made with aniGen pre-alpha.

When making this, I salvaged my old mouth database, created a random speech generator I'm currently expanding to actually obey the rules of spoken language, and spent about two hours doodling about magical theory on the background. It makes sense, by the way. First one to get what the mu particle would be called in real life gets a cookie!

All of those features (database access to resources, speech creation, random speech) will be available in the editor on launch.

AniGen will be out in alpha by the end of September. I might even launch it on my birthday.

Thank you - it was a great opportunity to improve aniGen and to dust my skills a bit.

Aww this is sweet. I love that the photo of Luna is moving too ^^ 

However, I would say that Alisa's mouth moves a little unnaturally, but that's my only criticism because this is a lovely piece which looks like you put alot of time into it!

Thank you.


Like I said, the speech is far from perfect. The gist is fine, but the speech is almost random (with some weight added to the mouth being closed) and doesn't follow the standard rules you'd expect. That's why it feels weird - you can't put your finger on it, but the fact that there's no consonant - vowel alteration bothers your subconsciousness.

Either way, it's still great!

Thank you. :3


I always have to strike the balance between length of the animation loop, the amount of movement on the screen and the resulting file size.

On one hand, longer loop means a smoother transition and more time before you actually notice it. And the more moves on the screen, the more real the image looks. But at the same time, these make optimizing the GIF (bleh) a nightmare.

CindryTuna In reply to MisterAibo [2013-09-02 09:13:19 +0000 UTC]

It fits extremely well~ the loop does transition extremely smoothly, not noticeable. so it really is amazing, it seems like it's taken right out of the show, really great job!
