Description
Ok.This is one of my most detailed animations. It's nothing special, sure, but... I am so freaking pleased with the results
I hate having to work on such a small canvas. I mean, I didn't even manage to fit his claws in there ffffff.
I really needed something like this. Finally I have a nice little thing to put in my page that features my most cherished character.
Time taken... ehdhjsdfd. 4 hours and a half. x_x
I need to make a folder for my ZanZan only.

Good work with the "parallax" floating of bubbles and the cute blink. You should contribute to Yono when it's ready -- [link]

Such a pretty pixel work ;v;
I'm worried this character may start to become an obsession. But not really <3
Keep drawing him forever

I'll never stop drawing him ;;

You probably don't have the patience xD Pixeling takes a lot of time and, more than that, a LOOOOT of rage. I had to reclean the lines and shading at least two times XD
Thank you!

Well I guess you just need to practice. Read tutorials and start trying!
Your first pixels will look horrible, it's ALWAYS like that. My first pixels were terrifying XD but after some time I got better. Just go for it!
Thank you ;u;

Well sure, I need to find one... Sprites ;Q; But like animation itself, I improved it in just some tries, I still don't draw that often, bah
Also... you wanted to meet him... but he's still setting up... surprise him, he's next to me right now (BUT, his mom is who made his account, so he's having probs with his password)

There are a fuckton of tutorials on here, man |D just check my tutorial folders in my faves, you'll find a lot.
I rarely make pixel stuff, but when I do it, I try to do it as best as I can. o3o
Also I sent him a message. I hope he doesn't freak out xD
Ah crap. Try to find the account then, so you can change it!

I'll look it up when I can and hopefully not get distracted to redline your comic... Damn, why does FA have to die...
And lol, I exagerate being a perfectionist, I try to make the pixels on lines look okay :'D
And he did freak out but now he's pissed on how he cant reply to them... And I bet if he does, his mom will freak out, he's VERY over-protected

Lmao ok.
But don't be too much of a perfectionist on your first pixels. As I said, it takes time to make them decent |D after making mistakes you can be a perfectionist all you want, but you have to fail first.
Ajjhsbdjhsd ;;

I think I've failed before, and I hate it when that happens, but I don't stray from that, I still wanna draw a lot like a LOT of people I know, but I don't know how... I can't help fixing up all the details ;A;
And I feel bad for him, he finally gets an account and his mom restricts him :'D

Dude, you're still so young and you want to improve so much. It's admirable.
One thing I can suggest would be using lots of references from photos and such. Those are the things that helped me out the most.
Even for anthros, referencing the human body is essential.
Haha |D;

Really? .w. But... It hardly seems like it, me being so inactive
I know, I know... but I'm hardly online or always busy and distracted, so getting pose refs is hard

pandalecko In reply to jeany545 [2012-09-12 14:16:17 +0000 UTC]
I know getting pose refs is difficult, this is why you cAN SAVE THEM IN A FOLDER IN YOUR COMPUTER.
And you need to get off your laziness and stop getting distracted. You want to improve? Work first, relax after.
If you don't start stamping this way of thinking in your mind, you will improve very slowly.

I already have some, but they're old and I hardly ref from poses, I end up making my own, and I understand that's sometimes bad, baaah
And I really want to... But when I try to, something seemingly important gets in my way

pandalecko In reply to jeany545 [2012-09-14 07:38:17 +0000 UTC]
Hmm. Well since I need anyway to construct a little database / folder with pose references and such for myself, would you like me to send it to you through mediafire or divshare? Like I did with the tutorials last time.
I've collected a good share of pose references, but surely I need to download more. Since I AM creating this little database now, tell me if you want to have it, so you can keep it in your computer.

Alright, let me find a few more things. For now it's a good DB, but it doesn't have enough photos and I need to download more.
All of them have in the file name the artist who posted the stock on deviantArt, so if you use them, credit them.
I'll send you the ZIP/RAR when it's ready.

pandalecko In reply to ErythraPyralis [2012-09-12 12:31:07 +0000 UTC]
Thank you!
I always prefer to keep the border a bit smaller than the character, so that it looks as if the characters stood out of the box x3
