Description
Let's see if this uploads. I honestly have no idea how these work. You may have to click "Download" to view the animation?Please be kind; I've never tried this before, and I don't have an animation program.
Unfortunately this is the max size that Photoshop will allow me to animate, so I had to cut out almost 1/3 of the frames I actually had in there (I now have 40, where I had nearly 60), so it's pretty rough and choppy. To add insult to injury, I then had to cut its physical pixel size in half. Needless to say, I can't finish this or clean it up. T___T Someone give me an animation program.
Based loosely on the vajra pestles movements of taijiquan (I made a few changes to allow for the water). Was going to be Katara.
Drawn on Adobe Photoshop CS1, animated in Photoshop Elements 2.

For what it's worth, that is really good! I am fail at making animations, and your grasp on anatomy and how it moves is most excellent!

Well a good programm is TV Paint Animation. Unfortunately it costs a bit.......a bit much ^^" but you can get a free trial for 30 Days on the official site, if you want to work on a project for a short time.
For my lien tests at home I use iStop motion as I have no toki line or something in that way. It works but it is a bit of work when you want to do timing.
hope this information can help you a little bit^^

Just keep the layers separate, with each frame as a layer. Then choose to "save to web" and check the box that says "animate" and select the options that apply.

I've always envisioned the fist pound as a fountain spraying upwards from the ground. But a splash out works just as well!
