Description Kai would suck as a Ninja

Weekly (Friday) submission. Instead of a comic I decided to do a small animation instead. I haven't animated for so long!

This actually turned out better than I thought. Instead of getting stressed over poses and details I decided to draw each frame freely and it turned out pretty good. It didn't take as much time because they were mostly freely drawn and required minimal editing

On the down side, the character's anatomy gets pretty screwed up but it worked out okay.

Introducing the new character again (the brown haired one)

Frame by frame animation. Frame by frame adds more fluidity to it, in my opinion. Tweening motions seem more appropriate for mechanical, more robotic movements.

Enjoy

Ahh I love your animation! Its been a while since you animated~ still awesome~

And what I do like about it is the sketchiness of the animation, I guess its something I like about some animations, sketchiness to show its working and so forth but also adds some more character, but I guess its just me? And its how I animate too (once I get to a computer that has flash, since I can't afford it).
Anatomy gets kinda thrown out of the window, but I guess you just have to work at the anatomy every now and then to correct yourself and then draw without it. I do agree with the fluidity, as tweening doesn't give the same effects as frame by frame, its kinda obvious when you do use the tweening rather than frame by frame and can down the quality.

On another note

OOOOH~ new character
I have a little suspicion you did this because of me....

EmptyShadow In reply to hoz-boz [2012-05-01 15:48:41 +0000 UTC]

I like the sketchiness too, because it often serves as texture and can be used for atmospheric purposes. Well, I've only succeeded few times XD

And yes I put the new character in there, kind of introducing her in an informal way because I really don't want to submit a deviation saying "this is my new character!"

Also, what do you mean by you suspect I did this because of you? o:

-died from my most favourate artist replying-

I do agree, however you probably have succeeded doing the skethyness in the animation before.
Also EEEEEEEEEE -lurks- new characterrrrrrrr~

Too soon! I have to design a concept of a horror game in less than a week! But my lazy powers don't help at this moment in time. I would be doing it if I had any bit of motivation! Tutors don't help and my friends don't either. FFFFFFUUUUU
