It did take me a few moments to make the connection, and I probably wouldn't have figured it out if you didn't mention it was meant to be based on a character instead of just being a disoriented dragoness. But, now that you point it out, yep, even without a pair of bi-chromatic wings, the resemblance is apparent!

Hooray! Victory I suppose, if it can be matched to the reference than I can admit to myself I did something reasonably well.

Definitely. Having the tail helped a lot, heh.

Sadly the tails not perfect. EVERYTHING MUST BE NEAT OONT TIDY - no, uh.

It kind of extends at the end of it's loop cycle, because it's supposed to go back to the first frame and pause for a bit. But since Dizzy's animation doesn't really call for the Tail stopping at any point, we figured to just let it loop immediately instead of pausing.

I just figured that was a perspective trick, honestly!

YES THAT WAS TOTALLY INTENTIONAL-

Nah, if it was I'd have had the Balls and Tailtip move a little more to accent it, but yeah. lD Still, glad it's not that noticeable an issue.

I kinda like the glint of the tail-orbs every so often.. it makes it so the loop is longer and not.. so 1-2-3-4-1-2-3-4 ish...

I actually really like doing glint's like that. >> I don't get a lot of chance to do so though, so this seemed like a perfect opprotunity!

^.==.^ It does add a bit of 'wait.. did i just see something?/I'll watch it again to see' sort of draw to the image.

Hooray! Glad for that. 'u'

is this from a video game?

No, I whipped it up from scratch.

The idle pose and general animation is made to resemble another one though, specifically Dizzy from Guilty Gear.

o ok

your animations are always the best. if i may ask, what program do you use to animate?

It varies depending on what I'm doing. :o Like uh

The Tail here, since it's a lot larger than I'm used to doing, and since I wanted it to flow smoothly, I actually drew out in Flash CS5 first.

Than I ported it over to iDraw3, which is the program I do the actual pixels in, and added in the finer details, smoothed it out, etc.

If the tail had been smaller and more manageable, I'd have probably just done it all in iDraw >> and then put it together in Microsoft Gif Animator or something.

Hopefully that helps a little :o I tend to juggle a bunch of programs around.

oh cool, thanks for the info! I only asked cause ive been looking around for pixel animator program that i could use for game development. im currently using graphics gale, but it looks like idraw might be a better option for me :D

It's all personal preference :o just use whatever works best for you. I think Graphics Gale and stuff like it could be better than iDraw, but I feel like it takes a lot to get into it. Can't seem to bring myself to get used to the UI. @n@

I want one o3o

...a Dragonair or an Animation?

I mean a Dragonair I could understand, they're adorable!

Both sound good but an animation for sure

Dat tail animation~

Yeesssss

Dizzy is best guilty gear.

I always thought Sol was the Guilty Gear, considering Dizzy's all bubbly and innocent.

THOUGH I COULD BE WEIRD.

Either way guilty gear is amaze <3
