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.

I bet; animation classes would strike me as pretty difficult. x_x And it was 40 frames.

Hey, it seems a little more smooth than the last time I saw it. Did you add more frames in, or is it just me?

I think its lovely and it would be twice as better if it did let you have the 60 frames.

It looks very proffesional, even though it is your first time.

For the limitations you had, that is really really good!! Its too bad you arent able to do more with it
Boo! But great job nonetheless! Now if only I had the patience to do something like that... lol

This was done on photoshop?! I never knew it could be done like that. Maybe I should look through my art program sometime and see if I can play around a little. (It probably won't have anything, but it won't hurt to look

Dude! Send me the psd file. I'll make it a nice big animation with all 60 frames. 8D This is amazing right now. I'd love to see it without photoshop getting in the way.

Smebody already offered. And I had already saved over the file. T__T I wasn't planning on using it for anything else, so I didn't see a reason to keep the frames I took out to upload it.

Don't tell anyone. But I'm gonna try to illegally obtain Flash. SHHHH. <-- Everyone else ignore my confession of guilt.
I'm so covert.

Lovely. I use imageready for my animations but they're simple. x_x;

Wow, I want your skills.
It may not be as smooth as it could have been but it does the trick anyway! Fantastic job realistically depicting the movements (rather than cartoony noodly movement it's very organic and human)

if you give me the PDF with all 60 drawings, I can properly composite the animation for you.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Gah. x.x I saved the file after I deleted the extra frames for the animation, since I didn't plan on doing anything else with it. *headdesk.*
Thank you for the offer, though. >__<

Aw.. that's ok it's not the end of the world X3 but it would have looked really good and bigger XD

AWESOMESAUCE. I love the animation - it's already smooth, so it's hard to imagine what it looked like with everything
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I like it! A lot! There's some really great movement and it looks like legitimate waterbending.
When I installed photoshop, I swear there was some extra animation program attached to it. Is that what you used? I know nothing... but it'd be fun to play with

wow that is a very good job! It was kinda choppy but like you said that's what is to be expected when you had to cut out some of the frames. But otherwise very well done.

I would personally cut the movie into thirds then piece them together in WMM and put it on youtube.

Thanks. XD The initial skeleton took about 1-2 hours, and it took about 5 more hours to clean it up so it looked human. *cough*
