Description
Finally finished the animation for I'm happy with the bird's movement but the overall movement is wrong at the end, I just can't work out how to change it. EDIT: helped me out with the motion at the end and it looks better now
anyway, I hope this is all ok, and I apologize for the long wait! I hope this was what you were after. It took way longer than I expected.

Forgive me if this makes me sound dumb but what are deltas? And what's cpi?
Either way I can't take on another commission at this time. Exams are on and I don't have much time to draw right now, I'm sorry. Maybe in a couple of weeks time I will have finished enough owed art to be able to take on more?

Often times animators struggle with birds, especially in flight, and end up with a choppy or awkward animation. But this is really well done, and your bird animation looks natural, but with a nice twinge of your own style. It's believable . Seriously, I can't get over this piece. xD

Wow this is really well done! I love the smoothness of the animation!
As for the movement at the end, I believe part of it has to do with the incomplete upward motion of the bird's wings right before the transformation. The wings seem to close halfway before extending down again into paws, causing the animation to almost jerk to a halt. Maybe a way to fix it would be to finish the upward motion of the wings before the transformation begins again?
I'm far from an expert though so use your own judgement on that XD
Overall the piece is amazing though. Your proportions stay consistant which to me is an amazing feat, and I absolutely love the way you did the transformations!

thankyou very much! and that is a very good point about the motion. I went back and added the rest of the flight cycle and it looks better. It still jerks a bit, because i probably should have put a few more frames in that section but the motion does look better

I got commissioned to draw a characters wings appearing on her back (and then disappearing I guess) I'm still trying to work out how I want the movement to look because I want to make the character moving while the wings appear.

Yes the birds movement does look good. What is the frame rate?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thankyou very much! Its at 100 miliseconds between frames making it.... 10 frames a second. Its not the usual but I jsut use gimp and export it as an animation so that particular frame rate is easiest for me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Okay, so what is your normal frame rate? What kind of file do you submit it to DA as?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Isn't the standard frame rate at 24 frames per second? I use gimp for animations so I submit it as a .gif file.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! 24 frames per second is standard but when I animate I usually do about 15 frames per second. (Don't check my DA account for animations, the uploading page hates me)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I should start getting into the habit of increasing the rate of frames per second for mine
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been animating for years now. I used to do them at 7 fps and have slowly increased over time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm pretty sure I have only ever done them at 10 fps because on gimp it asks the amount of milliseconds between frames rather than the fps and the default is 100 milliseconds anyway.

Ug, that would be annoying.

yeah, it is

It's like they think we don't do enough math already.
