Another 100% new Cala Animated Gif
« on: March 29, 2010, 02:11:59 am »
My new animated gif:



Uf... this was soooo much more work than the last one... (My previous Cala Viper Animated Gif)

I really underestimated the amount of work that you have to do to do more complex animations. This took me foreeeever!!! I'm satisfied with the result, though it is nowhere near to as good as viper animations are. But hopefully people will enjoy the fanart :)

Any comments are welcome... though there's no way I am modifying the image anymore at this point :P

Must sleeeeo now...

Nice work.  You even animated her head this time!  That's my biggest complaint about your previous work.

I know what a HUGE pain in the arse it is to draw Cala's hair properly.  I sorta ditched an awesome Viper drawing i had almost ready due to an unsatisfactory doo.

Drawing the hair wasn't the worst (it's not so hard if you use a reference image - I'm actually not a very skilled anime illustrator). Animating it and then shading it and then properly animating it with the shading... that was a major pain.

What I least like of the image is how I was unable to draw the sort of white highlights that Cala has on her hair. Drawing them frame per frame was out of the question and I had to use some photoshop processes to try to emulate it, but wasn't able. I eventually had to accept using a blurry highlight unlike the sharp ones you see in most viper hairs.

Oh well... Maybe I'll get it right next time :P

You SHOULD be using Adobe Flash to draw and animate.  The brush tool there smooths the lines when you draw.  Feels like cheating almost.

You did a stellar job making her nipples move like gelatin.
