Nique's happy fun time thread ~ Super general discussion

I used to use adobe's flash/after effects for that, but there might be a more lightweight solution to that...

I don't know how to use them ^^ I just used Photoshop
Perhaps I'll just stick to non moving images hahaha

x_x I want to do several lalas moving on the same image... but short of moving each frame to the position to 'walk across' the image... I don't know how else to do it *animation newb*

Practice makes perfect, Nique. Animated Lalas would be so cool.
Long ago, I only used ImageReady for animations back when I had Photoshop CS2.
Keep up the good work~

If you do experiment more with it in Photoshop, you may want to check out the Tween command, it sort of fills in steps between a starting and end frame. It may or may not help in cases such as this Lala one where the arms are rotating and changing shape slightly and not just being translated across the canvas, I haven't really ever played with it much honestly.

Absolutely coincidentally, I also was messing around with anims recently (I haven't done so in a long time), and the thing I chose to do it with is a pseudo-WIP of my drawing for you. It's no live stream nor does it 100% reflect the actual order I did things in since I was only working with the final state of my PS layers, but you might enjoy it all the same. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...ings/nique.gif

Look at me! I'm walking! I'm walking!

This is pretty neat, Nique. I don't have any helpful advice on animation, so I'll just leave you with a "You can do it!".

I Think the best way to work with animations is with this Evil thing called multiple tabs! Each tab being one frame and you click through them to check the animations. Like a supped up flip book. After that, you're on your own though you know how photoshop does animations so that better then me in that regard
