But look, this thing has the most views and comments out of all the art threads in this board's first page (well besides the "my signatures" thread). Makes me jealous. Maybe I should start posting shit.

you win my token sir

Shitty art is like disasters in the world, they may be horrible but god help us we just can't stop staring at them.

I will give u a 5/10 assuming this is the first ever animation you ever did... better programs and practice = better art. It's quite frankly horrid and it brings a tear to Allyson Hannigan's eyes.

When you posted this, there was just no way you didn't know the responses before they happened. >_>

I would like to mention that it is much easier to point out the flaws in an art piece than it is to point out the good parts.

^ is right. Because this one has none.

But seriously this was pretty shitty, it's border line MS Paint honestly. I've seen 5 year olds draw stick people better, not trying to sound like an asshole(or denying that I am) but this had nothing good.

I'm willing to say it's just the program he is using and and that he doesn't personally, completely suck. I know how hard it is to do frame by frame work, but if he took this to any center/organization that does art/animation he would be laughed out of the building.

I apologize if this is borderline flaming, i'm really not trying to sound bad, but this is just not good...

I gave advice tho, get a better program and practice until you get solid animation. Some ppl spend more time than 45mins on their work, it's pain staking but the reward is nice when you have a finished piece that looks good.

i'll be damned if anyone gives you a hard time about saying this. everyone was thinking it, and you had the raw ball to say it. you win my token sir

We flock here as motorists do to the scene of a bloody accident...

Or as journalists do to that of some brutal eye-rape

ANYWAY.

BTW, I wouldn't post my name on here, SamuraiKing.
Maybe my first name, but not my last....
Ya know, rape alert :o

But for a good animation to be drawn by hand, it would take a lot longer than 45 minutes for it to be epic.

I can't even make a decent head and render it in 45 minutes :P Think about it, when it's merged, that's just ONE layer.

Usually takes me 3-4 hours.

....hmmm
So a 256x256 animation would take me a few months...

Compared to that, spending 5 hours on an animation isn't too bad anymore, is it?

Well, for 45 minutes its not bad, but it's sucky too.
Quality over quantity.

Like if you spent 90 minutes to make double the frames, it would be smooth.

Quality x2, see?

Then if you too another 90 minutes to make each frame more detailed, epicness x 2

All these 2/10's would be 8/10's there!


As for the 10 minute avatar of dry humping, that is also simpler frames I think.

:3
(and smaller)

Hand drawing each frame is a pain, so it would take a lot for a good animation.



I think the one in your avy is better, which I'm assuming you made.

A tip for later, is if you drew it in layers, so you could control each part by itself, without having to redraw it.

I'm not any animator, outside of spinnies, but it seems like a more logical step.

well to branch off of what DJ said up thar ^

i work in 128x128, sing approximately only about 5 layers per head, i manage to get a good amount of detail in the head,

most of the time, id start with a one layer outline, one layer of shading, next layer for details, another to finish anything else up, and a last for coloring

but i do spend at least 4-6 hours on a head i really try hard on
the time spent, (spent wisely mind you), will turn out to have an impressive head (or whatever youre making for that matter)

Now, as for the animations, best way to not have to redraw everything would be just duplicate the layer your working in and edit it from there.
Also decreasing the amount of movement in each frame (layer) will give for a smoother better looking animation in the end.
This tends to take a lot longer, but ofc gives a better result.

Maybe I like to rape the rapists and i'm luring them into my web DJ.

Also, I never use the proper last name, I make up a different one on most websites. Don't even think my myspace(which I don't use) has my proper name... anyway.

What Dj said is true, the smaller it is the easier to animate, you can't rush it, frame by frame work is horrid. ;; You can make some nice work at the end with proper time spent, it's just not an easy task.

Dajoka: "Now, as for the animations, best way to not have to redraw everything would be just duplicate the layer your working in and edit it from there."

^Possibly the best time saver you can do for this type of work.

Constructive criticism is the best way to advance your art. If everyone lies and says nice things all the time then you will never try harder.

Ha! I felt like posting on my old thread

Infraction: Ha! I felt like giving you this infraction for breaking the rules.
