Getting better all the time you talented little werekitten! ^^ *scruffles your headfur playfully*

You say you do this on your DSi, right? And you spoke of OnionSkinning (the transparent overlay of the previous frame) and all animation software has that- Adobe Flash... Everything! It is meant to imitate the lightbox originally used by the hand-drawn animation greats like Disney and the Termite Terrace greats for Warner Bros. It's how the best animators work.

I love the way you did the shrinking here, Calex- How the details simplify as James becomes smaller and smaller. It just lends to the atmosphere of the piece, and it makes the diminishing form more "believable" in a sense, than just taking a single image and resizing it, making it progressively smaller.

*blushes and smiles* You did a good job incorporating that element I suggested- Now we know that James is a happy little kitty all the way down there! *squints* Though removing what I know about the pic from your description, it looks sort of like he's thinking of who might have done this to him... Perhaps if it was a speech bubble with a solid line leading to James, instead of a thought bubble. But it works like this. It works perfectly well just as it is.

Hey he can't be talking about me doing it to him! I have pointed ears! >.>

Big bro, lion ears, round.

Me, cat ears, pointed.

But yes yes I see the point. Hmmmm. Actually I had one idea of having a magnifying glass slowly move over, but then realized that would add like an extra 30 frames. o.o;

So yeah.... Maybe arrow is a better option.

-runs over and throws the crystal at you-

Mrow! I'll never trust the things you give me from now on >.>

But... but, you wanted it!
