niiice.. is blinky based off Cy the kitten? I also based a character off of him. :) I just ask 'cause the sticky-out tounge and lack of nose!

and I think you did a great job on the walk, especially size consistancy.

Cy was also a girl. And yes, Blinky was.

And you flatter me.

oops, you're so right. I think that was in my memory bank somewhere.. my bad.

It's cool.

I think it's cute 0:

Thanks.

You're doing great :) Its very cute

Heh.

I like it, though I think Blinky needs to move a bit more like a cat. It doesn't seem to me like it gives off a feline feeling when she walks. But I think it's good that the height consistancy stays the same and you had some fun with it at the end.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to make her move like a cat.

I was just trying to make her move.

it's still pretty good.

these are the building blocks to awesome.

Awwww...

I think it came out awesomely.

Heh, thanks.

F Yes this is better than anime already
LOOK I SAW FRAMES
I saw movement
look at that Blinky go
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
This was awesome
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFf
BLINKY IS AWESOME
for just justice sake keep up the good work
Animation HOOOOOOOOOO

MOVEMENT? IN MY ANIMATION?

It flowed like a water haiku

for example
haikus often
don not make sense
refrigerator

That's not standard Haiku format, Blackula.

Be a Blackula
FUNK THE RULES

I can dig it.

Even if it's still kinda off, it's impressive for a start!

Heeeeh.

Are you doing this on a lite table? You should hold off on the tail and ears and stuff till the very end, that way you can make sure they're moving smoothly. Walks are SO HARD you should look up a guide to 4-legged walks, there's no shame in it. You have to mimic life to get animation looking right :P It's a good start and has a lot of potential, way better than my first tries X3

I need a light table so bad, Jesus.

I should have held off on the tail, but I had no idea what the hell to do with it and I was just hating this as it went along.

Before I had a light table I used a window and a sunny day.
True story.

I've done that before.

I did that for my flipbook, where I had to use Index cards, and you can't see through them as well.

THAT KITTY IS A TANK, ITS OBVIOUS LOOK AT THE TOUNGE.

Pfbbtht.

Aside from the tail and that, it looks great.

Heh. Thanks.

I love me some Blinky.

Everybody does.

BLLLLINKY
I think this is amazing.
The walk seems to be characteristic of Blinky, considering.
I love it wow and the little wave at the ennnddd <333

I needed time to kill.

She moves~

I love the wave.

That's my favorite part.

Awww Cute <3

Heh, thanks.

The end is the best, and not just because of the animation. :D

I think so, too.

Man I think its good

Awwww...

also man I'm loving Blinky

She loves you too.

Hey, it's your first try at this, I think you're allowed to make a mistake or two. Either way, I think it looks great. She looks really cute sticking her head back out at the end. You seem to have a really good grasp of cartoony exaggeration of movements there.

I love drawing stretch and squash.

I'm sure you can tell.

Blame it on him having a natural limp and you are golden

I wouldn't be surprised if she did have a limp.

Giant eye = squished brain = limp!

Golden!

BRILLIANCE!

Speaking of cycloptic cats, I'm saddened by what they did with Cy's remains 8C

Sorry, random, but it got me hot and bothered!



Anywho, Think you could share some of that talent? I want to animate, too and you seem to have plenty to spare :C

Awwww, you flatter me.

And yes, I was upset about that too. Poor Cy.

SHUT UP YOU'RE DOING WELL :|

LIES!

COMPARE YOURSELF TO THIS.

What the?

In production since 2003 or some crazy shit like that, with absolutely no progress for... years by this point. It's not even a good story, AND it's all by a volunteer basis. (read: too poor to actually pay people)

...The only people who will do it for free is the people who are piss-poor animator wannabes.

You will never be this trainwreck.

Jesus, volunteers?

THAT SURE IS SOME WISHFUL THINKING, EH?

I could see a short film done with volunteers, but a goddamned feature?

Well, that's why they don't get any work done on it. I hear they've gone to a few cons, asking for donations. It's just... it's such a train wreck. I can't even get into it.

Even if they did get enough volunteers, how on earth would the plan on distributing it?

Probably by setting up an Amazon store and posting to forums about it. No one with half a brain would do it, though -- they're all like THIS MOVIE DEPICTS WHAT LIFE IS REALLY LIKE IN A PACK... but... it's the idealized furry version of a pack where everything is murry-purry and ..yeah. Useless, mis-informative fluff.

Sweet Jesus...

It's like if the made a move out of Kay Fedewa's comic.

Actually scratch that, they'd set up a paypal account.

LAWL.

While it's not the best animation ever, it's ertainly a good start. oh, and far better than I could do. lawl. But seriously, it's not all that bad

Awwww...

So yeah, I've been wondering something about Blinky....with only one eye, does she have depth perception issues?

God, yes.

Daw, that just makes Blinky more adorable

She can't see so good.

OH NOES

Not sure how to make the legs go? Muybridge, Muybridge, Muybridge!

Seriously, the man's photographs are old as the hills (and therefore probably easy to find good copies of everywhere) and absurdly useful for understanding how bodies move and deform when in motion.

I should have looked better.

STUPID, STUPID, STUPID.

This is awesome! How long did this take?

'Bout a week.

Wow, that's cool.

Ayep.

Great lords, it´s great! One thing, looks like her tail is either very spastic or it´s very windy =)

Her tail is having seizures.

Something around 15-30 area seemed off to me. The cat seemed to pick up speed rather fast, not sure if it was intended as such, but it stood out to me.

Trust me, I know.

I needed more inbetweens.

It's truely not as terrible as you think, 'cause damnit, animating something that moves four limbs in a realistic way is nothing but difficult.

Amen.

I think walking with a slight limp suits her.

God, I love Blinky so much

Everybody does.

Wait... So you've done all those animations without a light table?

Her tail made me giggle

Great job, though

Yep, no light table.

And thanks.

I know it wasn't what you were trying for, but I figure Blinky might walk funny, anyway. I mean, she is retarded.

The paw at the end looks fine.

Heh, thanks.

Still really good as fart as believable movement goes-heck, looks better than, as my teacher put it,'the gay-looking werewolf' I did for my animation class, hahaha

*Far
FAR, I MEANT FAR

Of course you did.

Hee! You're really getting good at animating!

I try.

Despite the awkward tail, I think this is very cute. C: The ending, especially.

Thanks, bro.

your animation is a lot better then mine so don't bee so hard on yourself and remember what it'satrap told you. she's right you know.

Thanks.

Nice tail.

HURF DURF.

Let this stand as a testament as to what NOT to do when attempting to animate a tail.

I'll forgive the jerkiness because Blinky is adorable.

I loved the wave and peek back in.

Best parts, hands down.

I love it! :D

OH BOY!

You did a good job though of keeping the proportions relatively the same! Don't fret over this one too much, inbetweens arent always easy. Really the leg movements are p nice and the bit at the end is adorable.

One of the things I like about pose to pose though is being to keep the proportions in check. I think pretty much stuff out of the Animators Survival Kit helps me get a good idea of how to go about it. These are a couple decent examples of pose-to-pose: http://anipedia.thebackalleys.com/i.....CLEDIAGRAM.PNG http://anipedia.thebackalleys.com/index.php/Tutorial:Walk_cycle

I have the Animator's Survival Guide, and it actually helped a lot. This would have been a lot worse without it, heh.

And thanks!

Oh cool. c: A friend bought me mine I love it.

I got mine for school.

It's p. awesome.

Stuff like "Start frame," "in-betweem," "key," all that sit.

The tail movement should have been smoother,but except for that,it was good.

Heh, thanks.

I really like this and somehow I feel like the limp fits Blinky(or at least Cy).

She is kind of retarded.

will you ever give it another try? she's so cute! ^^
