Full view for full animation
Nauro use spin attack!
So I finally decided to upload it here cause you know I forgot.
Haha I have now clue this was fun if not weird, not sure how I like it :I but I did something for myself! Haven't done that in ever >> or it seems like.
So Nauro jumps on screen does a spin and then jumps off screen and repeats the dizzy cycle again.
I'm going to attempt to make this my icon for now.
So yes I might be opening back up for icon commissions I'm not sure yet since this would be the jist of it and I'm still a beginner animator.
And I choose some of the harder things in an animation... jumps/lands/perspective. Hurr well it was a valuable learning experience.
I will have the steps how I did it up in scraps soon. And please read the following before asking me what I did/how I did it.
Used: Frames sketched, inked and colored in SAI. Animated in Photoshop cs3
Frame Count: 16
Time: 4-5+ hours, not to sure.

I'm loving this! So cute and your coloring and clean up is so sharp and nice. <333
I think you should have Nauro pause for a few frames more on the screen and use more squash and stretch on the landing so it looks like she hits with more impact. Your animation has a lot of structure and its very well put together but sometimes without a little squash and stretch it looks a little stiff.
The spin and the jump away look great. :3
Just mess around with the timing and always think of everything as the bouncing ball everyone is told to practice in the beginning. Everything is a ball with timing, elbows, hands, heads, torsos, butts, feet, etc. Don't be afraid to lengthen your frames by duplicating them a few times for cushion and play around more with your timing. ^_^ I struggle with that myself, actually my animation is VERY rubbery like the old Tex Avery/Chuck Jones cartoons and my teacher says I need a LOT more structure. :P
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OTjRKPR0hs That was my reel from sophomore year so you can see haha (I'm now minoring in Animation)
Bwah D: Big paragraph. Sorry XDDD But if you ever need animation help, I'm here 8D. I should get back into Animation myself, I've switched my major to illustration. I don't know the ins and outs on the flash interface all the way, but I know some basics :3

Thank you Ifus :D
I did try that and it looked... weird XD she looked a little messed up if I slowed it down. But I forgot the bounce I will have to remember that next time (I'm lazy when it comes to personal crap haha)
But yah I have an associates in multimedia and finishing my bachelors in game design, so I took some classes but I yah. I hardly animate so I rarely think of it.
Haha like I said I'm WAY to lazy with my personal art 95% of it never gets finished xD -thumbs up- so I go to the point I was done and rushed (something I have to learn not to do)
I remember watching that when it was put up >> somewhere don't remember anymore.
And its cool! At least its constructive that I need since I want to animate more, and hopefully it will be something I can remember. But I'll remember that I'd be nice to find some people who will crit my animations and stuff instead of saying its nice. Oh lol I know flash a bit had to make a game in it DX the programming is fail, I did this is SAI and photoshop -rebel-

If it looks weird when you slow it down, then try upping the frames to 18-24 a second and add more frames to cushion stuff (I don't know what you have it at now) but that really helps me. You actually inspired me to hop back to animate an icon for my friend that I owe her XD <333
I hate when people just say "it's nice" on pictures. I want to know WHATS NICE about it. If you want someone else who is like a billion gillion more fantastical than I am to give you a nice critique on anything (I probably missed a ton that she would get off the bat, she's so pro) look up
grimmmoxie she's working on a film called Caravan right now at my school and she's a senior. She's also a real sweetheart. :3
SAI AND PHOTOSHOP!? Major props! That's gotta be a pain. But the coloring and linework are so smooth and nice O: Keep animating ^_^ Just a few tweaks and man your stuff really is gonna be rockin!

Yah I'll have to figure that out in ps, I KNOW it has something o.o but I'll fiddle with it later xD. And inbetween frames >>; I realllyyy need to work on those I falter on those and I know I need to do that. Oh wow really o.o thats kinda awesome that I helped that xD.
I KNOW I get wow, thats nice, cool. Its like TAKE TIME and write something good. At least a friend on dA she gives me a well thought comment even saying what she likes about it and why. Getting crit anymore is harder then crap it seems. Really :o I'll have to watch her later when I'm not in college.
Haha yes! I found it a little smoother then in flash but I'm not use to flash I guess, haha. Thank you I love SAI for that stuff 8) done alot in it, Jams webcam (which is gross now) was done in that. I just use layers like onion skinning xD. But you get so many layers in the end! Thank you! That makes me a little happier about animating then :)
