Description I saw I had no Flash work in my gallery, so thought this was a good enough time to put some up.

This effect was surprisingly difficult to achieve, with no tutorials apart from my existing knowledge of the media. The Jark figure is based upon ` warfish 's and $liquisoft 's pictures, which I redrew as a vector in Photoshop, once with just the highlights, and once as the whole body. Spyed, as you can see, is based on the same platform, but I tried to make him look sufficiently different - explaining why he looks worse, as I had no point of reference. The effect was actually complex to achieve but I like how it turned out.

This is for all those people complaining about what they can't do on dA - after all, we're not paying to be members so they're doing a favour to us to allow us to use this place (while Prints is a favour from us ) And for once I managed a preloader

Yup, thats pretty much everything I have to say.......


**EDIT**
Sorry if this keeps appearing in your inboxes, people. I keep having to update the credits for the $jark model

we're not paying to be members so they're doing a favour to us...

Actualy Yes we are.... i dont suppose deviantART gave you your * as a charity did they? i myself had to pay for it. so yeah i would say we ARE paying members and they're not doing us any favours

There's a reason why I used the word "member". I know this could be slightly ambiguous, but I meant we're not paying to be ~ , but if we want to show support for the site then we can pay a small amount to enjoy a few more features as a *
(for which I would have said "subscriber") They don't force us to subscribe (I know some would argue with this) but I spent £4 for a 3 month subscription to access even more features, and for the small price it's worth it.

Sorry if you misunderstood what I meant

woah... the noises... the aliens... the colours,... the fades... looks like somekind of proffesional type thing. have you changed the animation already, or am i seeing the one you don't like, cos i think it is very smooth.

This is still the original thing - I've decided I won't change it as it would require a lot more work It's just that in Flash at 120fps it looked silky smooth - obviously the net (or dA) can't deal with that high a framerate, so it looks comparatively jerky. If I hadn't known what it looked like before, I guess I would have thought it smooth

Thanks for the comment

Hmmm...... seems 120 frames per second is overdoing it a bit - I wanted super-smooth animation but I guess I'll have to revise it.... *runs back into Flash*
