looks awesome, and it would be a cool ave

You could DEFINITELY teach me a thing or two.... group animation is something I was never good at. I just prefer to draw frame after frame.

Group just about every limb. After youve grouped each piece seperatly, select them all. Right click and click "Distribute to Layers."

This is important because you can only motion tween layers, not objects.

You then select the pieces that need to be animated, insert, mition tween. This should turn that layer into a motion tween.

Alt+Drag the frame over so you can create another key frame. In the new keyframe, move the selected bit to its destination.

It should automatically create motion between the key frames.

for this animation, i created 3 key frames; a start, a middle, and an end. The start and end are the same, but the middle is moved to a different spot, thats what creates the cycle. ^^

Heh, I understand perfectly, thank you.

Hmmm.... it's funny because... it seems so obvious. *laughs* I probably can say I could figure that out... but never having done group animation before, it would turn out ... well "weird". But in any case, I appreciate it very much.

Today is the first time ive ever actually used the distribute to layer thing.

This looks really good! In particular, I like how your entire body moves, instead of just the arm and the pen; it looks a lot more realistic.

Also, nice giant pen. ^_^

Really, all that moves are the arms, head, and wings. And the pen of course. The pen is my tablet pen, the black pad im sitting on is said tablet.

Stop making him so damn cute!!! X3

I think it looks great! :D I love them footsies. ^.-.^ They look so adorable.
I think it looks fine shaded. It'd probably look a bit flat without the shading and lighting.

Yah but the gif quality sucks because of the shading, so i cant turn it into an avatar.

Aww, damn... :(

that looks brill

Brill?

you dont know what "brill" means? its short for "brilliant" :)

I like it.

I like it!! ^^

Pretty cool avatar!!

Holy crap that's cute. XD

Holy crap, its not porn and 10% of everyone who looks at it favs it.

Did you notice it has like <200 views, too? <_<

It's cause it has a lack of favs due to not being porn so nobody sees it on their friends' fav list.

Lol thats why i used a percentage. Not all of my pics go above 10% on favs to views. Sadly, its gone just below that, but still it got a good number of favs.

*murr* it looks so good, and so damn cute, just like you Vash

Very nice !

I liked the shading...though I think yur new avy is still cool without it. ^.^

I may try adding shading back to it. I think the biggest problem is that flash doesnt do a good job of exporting vids as gifs, at least not at such a small size. I should probly just try and find a gif animation program, and export the image sequence.

It looks very nice and smoothly animated, I agree with you about the .gif quality when exported.

is awfully cute, and you do really sexy feet =3

Thanks, sadly i had to zoom in and crop out the feet for the end result as my avatar. Not to mention i had to do away with the shading.
