Description
I've spent about 14 hours on this. And most of that was learning how to animate in photoshop and waiting for my computer to stop freezing
Its a HORRIBLE program to animate in, I don't care what anyone thinks, the way that the timeline works -like After Effects- god its so frustrating- anyone who can cope with After Effects and create things calmly without throwing things around has my utmost respect.
I'm working my way back in slowly to doing a little thing of animation here and there. This has sorta put me off again
. Baby steps. But yes, this could have been done so much better and this is totally boring to look at but I learned a lot of stuff through doing it so woo...
Next steps: learn how to make things loop nicely so it doesn't zip jarringly back to the start
Tip: if it doesn't move, try refreshing the page. You might have to wait once or twice for all the frames to run through before its smooth. It doesn't run very well on my computer at all so I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't work on other folks

Absolutely beautiful! Do you mind if I use this for a roleplaying Wikia page (I'd credit you of course)? I'd be using the gif to put under the Deceased section.

i like it ^^ it's very pretty
question: are the sparkles from the water spashing up or the starclan cat's spirit?
EDIT: Oh wait I'm thinking about it now it's obviously from the cat never mind XD!

...isn't working for me. Oh well. I already tried refreshing the page a few times. :/ I can't even see the cat. But the background looks cool.

Thank you! Photoshop animating is rubbish. I usually export frames into sony vegas or a movie maker but I don't have any on my pc at the moment. I don't blame ya for giving up!

Heh. I'm sure if it's as bad as it sounds like, I might've actually thrown things, broken pencils, etc. Like I usually do.

Ach, I'm sure its not that bad for people who's brains work in the way that the program makes sense. I'm not one of those people
Awww, I hope you don't get that frustrated too often. Art can be frustrating when you can't get something to look the way you want it to, but don't give up!
