OMG.
Six. ; v; I love your sister, lol. Okay, I tried out the white background Pikachu, and it worked just fine, so I knew the frames were overlaying each other and that's why when they blink, it causes no problems for me, but when they do anything else, it shows.
I decided to try GIMP out for animation purposes, and yesterday to no avail. Today, I decided to try again. I looked up a tutorial on dA, and while reading it, what your sister said made sense. It was like. An epiphany DON'T LAUGH IT SERIOUS WAS LOL. I KINDA STOPPED MID-SENTENCE WHILE READING AND WENT OMG. I-I GET WHAT SHE MEANS AND WHAT'S WRONG.
My program is called Advanced GIF Animator, and rather than each frame replacing the last, it combines all the frames into each other. 8| It does not have the option to "replace." I discovered a suuuuper helpful tutorial on animating in GIMP, A-AND OMG I CAN ANIMATE WITH TRANSPARENT BACKGROUNDS WITHOUT THOSE STUPID FRAMES POPPING OUT.
B'AWWW. I'M SO HAPPY. YEARS OF ANGRILY WONDERING WTF IS WRONG. FINALLY CLEARED. Mind you if I want to animate this way it'll take a long time because GIMP uses milliseconds rather than seconds, so it's all a bunch of conversions. DHLFKADHFJ STILL THOUGH. T_________T TELL YOUR SISTER THANK YOU SIX, LOL, SHE HELPED MY ANIMATING EPIPHANY.
Today is just a day of moving on forward for me! It's been a long time since I've touched soft shading. It's quite obvious, isn't it? Especially that hair, wtf's going on with it. Ew. Anyways I realized I never really draw Lunon and Sedric despite being the "main characters" (alongside with Rimo). Since all three of them are childhood friends, it makes sense that any combination of them would be seen hanging out.
Here I kinda imagined Lunon went out for a stroll or to go pick up some groceries and Sedric found her along the way. It's kinda cold and damp today, Lunon! No worries though, Sedric may be kinda pervy but he's still a charming gentleman deep down!
And here's that Pikachu, with the transparent background and no frames between! T____T I'm so happy you don't even know. DFKJLHADSFKLJDSF. Lol the Pikachu wasn't even a big deal for me to finish, idk why I was so adamant on getting this animated correctly! I'm thankful I kept being stubborn despite getting frustrated, I figured it out all out! 8>
DFKJLADF
LOL SOME SLIGHTLY QUESTIONABLE STUFF FROM HERE ON OUT. But there's nothing showin', just some sexy romancing going on. 8)
TEE HEE OH MAN HOW I LOVE THESE TWO. Happy Father's Day, Riley! You teen daddy, you. /FACEPALMS/ Looks like they're working on the next YEAH?
WHO THE HELL ARE THESE PEOPLE. TEE HEEEEEE~! It's Jun in green and Hinachii to the right. YES I REALIZE I FORGOT TO COLOR A PART OF IT HDFLJKAHDSJ I WAS RUSHING. 8>
Anyways continuing with the questionable content! 8> These two aren't all over each other lovely dovey like Roi and Riley. They're 17 and 16, and in a band. They're pretty innocent somehow, though. SO THIS IS ACTUALLY PRETTY RISQUE FOR THEM OH LA LA LOL~
TEE HEE SINCE IT'S 2 AND I GOT WORK TOMORROW I'MMA GO TO BED FINALLY. OTL NIIIIIIGHT.
LOL My sister says "Okay." (that's always her reply to gratitude, so don't mind~)
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked out for you, Roi! My sister's honestly an expert animator-- she has Flash, $700 OTL-- but she can really work it. She threw this [http://klopk.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d3ixtir] together in about thirty minutes. She could make a game, too, but we're all too lazy to draw all the characters/scenes OTL
If GIMP's difficult, I'd suggest Photoshop Elements. It has a decent animator (I told you about it before?), but it animates frame-by-frame exactly. It's simple to use, but time control is a little more difficult.
