EDIT.2//M-M-MY GOODNESS?! A DAILY DEVIATION?!?!? Thanks so much for suggesting and for featuring! You guys really made day! /end edit

EDIT.// F-F-FRONT PAGE IN BROWSING "PHOTOSHOP ANIMATION TUTORIAL" ALREADY?! You guys are too much. *____* /end edit

OHMYGOODNESS!!! HEY GUESS WHAT?! I just came from the Photoshop Battlefield! AND this tutorial TOOK ME FOREVER!!!!

The UNGODLY number of hours/ DAYS that took me to finish this comprehensive tutorial were hellish for sure! Don't get me started on how I did the desktop screenshots. @w@

When I was in the middle of doing the Tween part, I was like "No more, NO MORE!!!!!!" T_____________T

I wanna take a break but I have commissions and gifts to do. T____T However, I also have to attend my neglected messages. T____T My summer;s almost over.

I made sure everything I said there is straight to the point and I tried not to beat around the bush. D8 If you managed to stay awake throughout the whole tutorial, I congratulate you for that. It must have been too long for you to read.

You know, what really entertained me about this tutorial is the Photoshop boxes, because some boxes are like "Desk..", "Desktop Scree...","Desktop Screensh..." ,"Desktop Screensho...", "Desktop Screenshot.ps" and so on. >u>

I dedicate this SUPER long tutorial to the following:
-You got me started on it since 2009! Oh and Happy Birthday~!!! So, you finally got yourself a long stick that teaches you how to animate in Photoshop. (I kid, I better start on that gift for you *slapped for it* )
- this is LITERALLY HOW LARGE I wanna thank you for making my days with your loving personality and awesome artwork. <3 NO, I think it's even larger than that; It spreads infinitely! (BTW, I'm still working on that thing)
-I dare you to rival me! XD I'm kidding! and thanks for extending my sub TWICE! @w@ Seriously, I should get started on your commissions. I feel so bad for being so busy with life.
-You were there when this tutorial was in the making. @u@ I thank you for making my days perkier when you're around (especially when I was super irritated finishing this tutorial). I miss you. Let's have a sleepover again when it's Sem Break! OuO

Also, this tutorial's a belated THANK YOU to EVERYONE who recently watched, commented, and faved my works (again) AND greeted me on my birthday ;u; !

...Also Thanks for the awesome gifts I recently received. ;u;

OMG OMG OMG YOU GOT A DAILY DEVIATION!!!

I'm so, so happy for you!! I just happened to drop by and take a look at this just as the Daily Deviation banner appeared on the bottom-- and I am SO SO happy for you! I knew you were going to have to get a Daily Deviation someday soon; and this tutorial definitely deserved a DD!! I mean, all of your pieces are adorable and beautiful, but this tutorial is incredibly insightful and really, really helpful!

Originally I was intimitated by animation but I think that maybe someday when I have the time, I'll take this tutorial out and get cracking on something! Really, this tutorial is wonderful! You make animation seem easier than ever! Not only do you have the steps laid out easily and conveniently, but the layout itself is definitely YOU; if you know what I mean ;D It's so cute and sweet!

And I'm so glad that the subject is Pikachu- he's so incredibly adorable ;A; I love your animation of him!! And seeing my name on your description-- it means so much to me .__. Because you've been such an amazing friend, you know? I'm really so glad we could meet and become such awesome friends Your work always inspires me, and I love having all of these conversations with you! It always makes me so happy! So really, I'm so humbled by what you wrote >//< And I absolutely can't WAIT to see that thing you're working on! ;D I'm really, really looking forward to it!

Best of luck to you on everything-- just keep on being awesome! And congrats on the DD!!!

FFFFFFF--- This comment never gets old! *slapped for late reply* I always look back to it whenever I'm feeling down.

Thanks so much. I'm really glad. I was also surprised. I didn't really expect a DD on the way home. ;0;

I know animation is tasking and tricky but WHAT?!I DID?!Even after I finished the tutorial, I felt like it was missing some parts. ;___; Feel free to show me when you do which I'll be seeing anyway!

Thanks. I didn't want the tutorial make people feel sleepy so I decided to make them feel like theyre using Photoshop (CS4). LOL.

Of course, Ammy~ I'm really glad we've met, too. The same goes to you. Okay, I feel really guilty for not finishing. I might re-do it. ;3;

Thank you once again.

And you did! It's the best animation tutorial out there; for sure!

Always my pleasure, Issun!

Still trying to work out how all these things work simultaneously...blinking, twitching and sweating. How and where to start/stop/insert frames? Help!

I'm sorry but I can't really understand what you're trying to say.

However, could you give me a screenshot of how your Photoshop looks like?

KOOLKUL In reply to Sitraxis [2011-06-12 14:44:20 +0000 UTC]

My problem is inserting an action when another one is going on. Let's say two balls bouncing in opposite directions towards each other, meeting in the middle, stopping for a sec, and then continuing.

Sitraxis In reply to DryBones44 [2011-06-09 01:46:53 +0000 UTC]

Hm... I'm not sure but I kinda heard GIMP is somewhat compatible to Photoshop but I'm not sure if the way the animation works is similar.

DryBones44 In reply to Sitraxis [2011-06-09 01:49:49 +0000 UTC]

I don't trust GIMP that much. It crashed my friends computer and made my computer really slow about a year ago...
