Made my own animation

[Gan]

Inspired by Zoo's animation, I made my own. Took much longer than I'd like to admit...
Without further ado:

[Zoo]

That thing is, admittedly, a little bit spooky, as well as obviously un-flight-worthy. But it has a certain undeniable charm. Color it up, fix any minor imperfections it has, and give it a photographic background, and prepare to rule over the internet with an iron fist.

[Connors]

What is the line coming out of it's ass every 10 seconds?

[Zoo]

Poo, methinks.

[Gan]

Perhaps it's related to the smile he gets when it appears...


It takes a long time to draw even a simple picture... gah.

[Connors]

You're drawing with a computer mouse, aren't you? My advice: Don't use your mouse. Buy a tablet. Scan drawings you made on paper. Take photos. Draw on the screen with a dry-erase marker and trace it if you have to but don't draw with the mouse!

[Zoo]

I agree, but tablets are expensive, and scanners are tedious. But you're 100% right.

[Gan]

But but but.... computers and layers are suppose to make it easier to animate.

[Zoo]

That's why you use a tablet.

[Gan]

Guess I'll just stick with my mouse then.

[Zoo]

Unless you get really into it. Then a Bamboo tablet might be a good investment. The cheap ones are like $80.

[Connors]

Yup I paid 75 bucks at the Apple Store.

This one's model name looks like Cthulhu. No? Yes? Definitely Cthulhu.

[Gan]

But you can't see where the stylus end is at. How do you draw precisely?

I spent my fun money. :C On the plus side I got 16 gigs of ram coming on Thursday.

[Zoo]

You can see the mouse on the computer. I mean, they make drawing tablets with screens on them for professionals, but those are... Expensive, to say the least. Like $1000 expensive.
