Ok well I looked at a few tuts and was able to do this... =D

mishkamash

was that a worm?
<lenko> i saw a hedgehog on the way home if i was drunk i would have yelled IM DOCTOR RRRRROBOTNIK and chased it

-make new blank keyframes, don't draw and erase over previous ones
-don't make the outlines of your background larger than the outline of the foreground elements. it takes focus away from the actual subject of the cartoon
-don't draw so amazingly small. you've got a whole stage to work with, use it

Fuzz

lol thx for the tips! ^_^ btw it was supposed to be a person who came out of the tank. =/

i could tell, but it was too small
'ello gov'na

Fuzz

Heh. if I were better at character design, It would've been a lot easier to tell what it was.

for a very first attempt it wasnt bad, atleast youre heading in the right direction and not starting with sprites or some shit.

the timing was pretty good, id improve your framerate with the missile bit though, looked kinda choppy

<+wwchicken> once i walked into the kitchen and there was a sound
<+wwchicken> but i could only hear it when i stood on one spot in the kitchen
<+wwchicken> then i turned off the light
<+wwchicken> and it was gone
<+wwchicken> then i turned the light back on and there it was again
<+wwchicken> so i thought, its an invisible alien
<+wwchicken> but hes scared of the dark

Fuzz

=[ it was a plane... I don't know how to change the frame rate. Wouldn't it change it for everything else too?

zomfgbie

yeah, but 12fps is pretty slow. its in the properties tab at the bottom, for a beginner id reccomend 16/18 fps. most people i talk to work at around 20 - 24 fps

Try doing stick figures for a while, then do a few fully tweenable character model after learning to draw, then do full body fbf.


btw, if you can't draw worth crap, this should all take you at least 2 years to make it to get decent with fbfing full bodies.
I should put something funny here.

character design should be the least of your concern
learn the basics before you go rushing into everything else

also, i think that using onion skin could help out a bit. http://anipedia.thebackalleys.com/index.php/Onion_skin

I'm not really in it for the animation. More the art part. I've got some friends here to help me out with the animation and stuff(just found out today) so I really just want to learn how to draw. I'm actually majoring in Graphic Design and I'm learning a lot of stuff this quarter in school. Next quarter I'm starting flash and 3D modeling.

if you're in it for the art you should try using photoshop or painter instead.

OIC Well thank god I've got a class in photoshop this quarter. I might try animation later but for now, I'll just stick to the(hopefullly) less complicated stuff.

well that explains alot

holy shit this is amazing, the blur effects were perfects coordinated with the different backgrounds and gave a real perception of distance, almost as if it was 3d!

The graphics (need it not be said) where other wordly, beautiful hand painted backgrounds complimented amazing color pallete

I liked it when mario fell on the ice haha that was funny

overall this was an amazing submission, detailed and could tell you spent time on it

10/10

.......K.

And I won't/didn't. After only full 2 days of classes I've learned a lot about photoshop, falsh, and Illustrator. Not really thanks to my teachers as much as other student's there. This is what I was able to pick up.
