Photoshop was being unkind today. Outside of that, it's been a great day filled with the entire Star Wars saga on tv. Very nice! I have become VERY curious about animation and I'm going to try to teach myself how to animate in flash. Heh, if nothing else, it will increase my ability to put out comics. Anything to improve!




This here is my very first attempt at animation. I have A LOT of learning to do. Check it out if you get a chance, tell me what you think :D

lol! great page as usual :)
Hey, not bad for a first time! You got the movement down very well, the only problem I see is the last frame which is slightly inconsistant to the others in size. I didnt know you could do traditional style animation on flash, I thought people were only able to do that flashy-smooth tweening animation (Which I dont personally like much) Interesting!

Thanks for checking out my silly little animation!

@Theorah I have lots of work to do to get better XD I was looking around the internet for a cheap 2D animation program (most run in to the several hundred dollar range) and found that traditional animation is possible in flash. One just needs to make A LOT of key frames, onion skin the previous drawing, rinse and repeat. Now, I am interested in getting good at both the traditional sort and the fancier tween style of animation. Like screentones, one just needs to find a balance. XD

I like the first one, but unfortunetely I couldn't see Alex in the first one.

Oh and btw, love the new page! It looks very nice. Thank you.

@ Blue-Senoire: Guilty as charged! I don't like doing that very often, to me, it's boring. But sometimes and I only mean sometimes I'll use it for timing purposes. XD

Dearest Readers! My wife is coming back from her deployment overseas and I will be taking a hiatus to spend copious amounts of time with her and to conjure up more groovy ideas for our heroes. Thank you for you patience!

Well, I didn't notice it was copy and pasted. I'm guilty of that one too though!
