Description
... woo, finally finished!
Just one of many new animal animation-sketches that have been sitting and waiting for ages, while I tried to figure out what to do with it. As you can see, this cantering base ended up being adapted into a random "Crisaill". Can easily redraw parts to turn it back to a normal horse.A strange mix of pixel and soft shading style... I tried a different design first, drawn with pixels but it looked all jagged, so I went for the soft option. Also yay for coloured lineart, I think I quite like it here.
Well, I hope y'all like it.
Do I have several other animations with various movements in the works? Of course. Though I dunno when I'll get to actually finish any...Design and animation are by me.
Though someone else may own the character; I no longer want it...
Please don't use this animation in any way, thank you.

I actually can't remember... the basic sketch, along with a whole bunch of similar 150-pix ones, has been waiting for months (a few of them even from last year) and I only finally did the outline, colouring etc over the nights of the last week or so. Not too sure how much % of the process you would count that as?

I could guess it would take some time x) the little I have experienced with animation, is that it demands patience. I guess I won't be doing anything big out of it anyways, but its always fun to try new things out.
Thank you ^^

I absolutely love how the tail moves so darn smoothly. Why is everything you do so freaking gorgeous?
π: 0 β©: 1

Ahh this is amazing! Definitely your best so far! I can't stop staring at it, makes me want to animate again
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you. But... you feel like animating something? Doooo iiiit!
π: 0 β©: 1
I used to do it when I was 13 and 14 but I haven't done anything in so long and I did it on paper haha. What program do you use?

Looks amazing! The movements are so smooth!

Thank you.

Yeah, that is really hard! 
That, and occasionally some Poke'mon simply breathing.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well... sometimes it's those "simpler" things that are the most hard and limited. I personally find idle, small movements like breathing really difficult. When you're doing... for example a dragon flying with big sweeping flaps, the wings and waving tail and whole animation is much more "bold" and in a way you don't have to worry about the little things. If that makes any sense?
Maybe if you tried something with lots of big, striking action in the whole body, you could have fun focusing on those large movements instead.

Hmm... I'll try that with some pencil sketches and see what happens.
Thanks! ^^

so....SPARKLY AHHH THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I CAN TAKE MY EYES OFF IT I WANT A CRISAILLLL
π: 0 β©: 1
... ohhh I knew there was something I had to ask you xD You wanted a Crisaill, didn't you? But I didn't get back to you, wherever it was.
But of course, just say whatever you'd like and I'll add it to my list. And hopefully it won't be long til I get time to design a bunch more
π: 0 β©: 1
oh haha its alright I kinda forgot about that too
Well lets see I really liked these designs you did for others

I would love a mare and I like kinda calm-pastel like colors but nothing brown or black or gray nothing like that I like nice good old COLORS white is good though as you can see from the rainbow-ness of some of the ones up there haha I like unique but also blended nicely so not a big rainbow hodgepog just some colors that go nicely together and nothing too dark I'm not a fan of darker colors but still unique ya know? XD sorry if this is a little much im not the best at describing

This is really good, and just so you know, this is the standard I hope to get to someday. ^-^
But I'm curious about two things, one, which program do you use? I have flash and I still don't know how to work it, and two, how many frames is this, roughly?
Sorry! I sound like some noob trying to find out all your secrects. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hehe, it's no problem
Well, I use Photoshop CS3 to put together frames, edit them and export my animations. The frames might be drawn in that, MS Paint, Flash or elsewhere but they're always GIF'd in Photoshop.
This one has 10 frames, 0.08 speed. A lot of my animations are 10 frames, or multiples of that, since it's the largest size animation-box I can fit on my Photoshop screen without it scrolling and being awkward to view the whole row. xD

Wonderful animation! U don't happen to have a FAQ on how you do these, do you?
π: 0 β©: 1
Like any walkthroughs or tutorials? Not yet, no... it's hard, since there are so many different programs and methods people use to animate, I can't include so many options in one tutorial. 
[link] That's an old, basic explanation of how I draw in MS Paint, if you find that useful?

Well, itis really quite neat. I just haven't a clue how to do things like that.

best animation you've done. Fantastic!
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you... hmm, don't know about the best, but I think it certainly is one of my favourites.

Mmm, I guess. It's just funny sometimes, you look over your finished work and think "oh, imagine if it had ___ too"... you have to wonder.

Oh very epic! Looks very beautiful, love the style you used here ^-^
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks. The style was a bit random, "out of nowhere" but fortunately it turned out alright.

very smooth animation, looks really beautiful <3

Your work is so awesome, I whish there was a game that looks like this
π: 0 β©: 1
Like a video game? Aw... I've always loved that idea!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes! I have played a lot of games, 3D is nice and all, but there is a certain charm in pixel art that can not be surpassed by other types of art.
Like this one I use to play, Horse Isle 1, sure the horses and people look funny, but the world it self is very charming. And the new version has more realistic art, but still the pixel ones wore more appealing.
Oh you did? That's great
π: 0 β©: 1
Absolutely! Most of my favourite games are old and 2D with charming pixel sprites and scenery. 
Actually, I have kinda been thinking about making a Flash game, or at least a little movie or something. Still with pixel animation imported from other programs, just with more flexibility that Flash gives. I'm commissioning some music from another deviant here too, so who knows what'll happen?
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha true, true
Ooo I would love to see what you do! Good luck with that

cantering. Forever.
Nice

Cantering, forever... doomed to keep repeating himself over and over, until the page is closed, and then he ceases to exist.
Thanks, it's certainly a bit different to previous works.

If I ever produce a horror movie, I'm definitely including a forever canter horse xD
welcome ^^ This is probably one of your best pixel animations ^^
