Description
Animation test. I haven't animated a thing in many months... mainly because it is very tedious.Maybe I should just stick to graphic design. I'm not really diggin' animation for the most part. ...But maybe I should just try practicing? Nah.. I'm too impatient for that.
I need to slow down on the random fan art, it's starting to make me feel loser-y.

Aww don't feel loser-y... I like .
Oh and I know all too well about the tedium of animation. Programs like flash may make it easier with stuff like motion tweening and olive-skinning but it's still tedius.
A 4 minute 'toon wasn't a walk in the park back in highschool... but I won an award before I even knew I was nominated at the art show that year [/showingoff] .

NP . As I tell everyone, keep up the good work! And as tired and frustrating as it sounds (I used to get grumbly when people said this to me), practice makes perfect.

I say that to others too, so no problem. It's just the truth.

Olive skinning? Did you mean onion skinning? Or...
I don't know how to motion tween things. ;O;
Ah dude, that's awesome! I too have won awards for stuff like that.
I won $75 1st place for an art piece once, and $30 for winning 3rd place
in both of the two category's of the same literary contest.
Tell me about the contest, I think such things are interesting. Do you
have the animation here?

Onion skinning *hits head* I haven't been animating the last few years but eh... I got the first letter right . And motion tweening isn't that hard, just getting an object to follow a path or move so you don't have to animate each frame for something simple e.g. a ball bouncing.
Nah the animation's not online since it used copyrighted material (music mainly) but basically the art show came up about a month after I finished the toon and since I put a lot of the work that year into the animation I didn't think I'd be in it let alone get an award but then out of the blue I get told I'm receiving an award. Plus I think the school wanted to show off all sorts of creative art forms and from my knowledge there hadn't been any animators through there apart from a 3D piece in previous years. In a previous year I got featured in the art show for a digital photo of my dog camouflaged/blending into a garden which had great colours... but also I think it got picked because again I was one of the first to be using digital photography (pre-phone cameras and back when 2.0 megapixels was cutting edge stuff).

That made me giggle.
Sounds simple enough. I suppose I should take another whack at it.
You should post it anyways! Everyone else here uses copyrighted music, I mean as long as you credit the music artist I suppose.
You wont get banned or anything on here (I wouldn't think so, at least.. I see people do it all the time).
Youtube is a little more... nnngghh when it comes to using others music.
So I can understand that when it comes to certain websites.
I would really like to see it. At least in an email or something someday.

I might post clips but yeah, I'm treading lightly as far as copyright's concerned.

Well, I'm sure no one will do anything. Millions of people use copyrighted stuff everyday.
...I guess I just don't understand, haha.
I mean, it's just the Internet.
Anyhoo ~ let me know if you post any animations anywhere.
