Description
Animation commission for of her cat :3This movement was surprisingly complicated to figure out, with a complete turnaround in a very small space.. Tricky stuff. I think I could have made the movement more light and bouncy, but I already spent too much time on it
I will be making a pouncing-animation featuring the same cat soon - which I might be trying to do that on a livestream?? Would anyone be interested in that? I could have a little Q&A-session while I'm at it. I've got a new microphone I've been wanting to try out for well.. almost a year now. I've just been too nervous about broadcasting my voice, but livestreaming is something I'd like to get into, so I can have some real interaction with you folks
I've been really awkward when it comes to public speaking and improvised explanations, but I'd like to improve - and some live chatting with a little chat-room with fellow strange and wonderful introvert artists doesn't sound so scary. So let me know if any of you might want to join me in a really amateurish live-animation-session sometime, haha (you've been warned). Β This was made in Toon Boom in approx. 9 hours - thanks to assassine for the commission! It's somewhat ironic that I'm talking about live-streaming part 2 of her animation commission, since these animations will be used as graphics on HER live-streaming channel! I guess she got me curious about the whole thing

Hi! I was wondering how much you ask for an animation like this?Β

Sorry, noob question but how do you make the icons to the animations animated as well. I only know how to add a still picture as the icon :/

You mean the preview thumbnail? You have to create a separate gif, which is smaller than 150x150 pixels and under a certain filesize (not sure what the size limit is, but it's usually not a problem unless the animation is really long). When you've uploaded your animation you'll be asked to add a preview file, and that's when you select your 150x150 preview gif

Lovely. I just want to say something that I hope will help you with your future works. The movement would have been even better if character's paws didn't touch the ground at the same moment. But this is still a very good work, keep it up

Thank you! That is a good point - I was maybe a bit too focused on the skipping-motion to be creative with the foot placement.Β

You're welcome!Β It's very hard to keep track of everything in animation. Really challenging art form

That's what makes it so rewarding!

AAhhh, how did I miss this?Β Sorry, just catching up with all the stuff I've missed over the past little while XD Eeeeeeeee, it's always super fun seeing a Panimation in my inbox!Β Love the motion on this cat!Β That swishy tail <3Β What a cute character too!Β Great job, Pan!

Heee glad you like it
I always miss out on stuff people upload, I follow too many people...

Haha, yes XDΒ It's always alarming when you haven't signed in for a while as well, and have ten million notifications D:Β (Heh, ok, maybe not ten million... but it might as well be XD) Need a second life to reply to all these lovely comments, that's for sure XDΒ *feels bad for not being in touch much, arghy!!*
It's a super cool wee animation though, yes <3Β Bouncy kitty, pouncy kitty, purr purr purr XD

Oh my goodness Panimated this looks so fascinating!
A Live stream sounds exciting it would be cool to see your working process and people can sure learn a lot from it :> I know how it is when it comes to speaking Β and that seems to be something that gets to me too.

Thank you very much jalen! 
Ahh I really want to do a stream, it would be great to show people py process instead of explaining in text, for once. I think my talking will be awkward at first, but hopefully I'll improve if I give it a few tries

Awesome, and adorable! I think it would be really cool to try an animation live stream.

I love the design, your style is so unique to you!
I feel like if you wanted to have a bit of a more light and bouncy look, there could of been more of a squash-and-stretch factor when the kitty lands. I almost wanna say that there could be less frames when he/she is in the air too? That way there would be more of a visual impact during the landing (if that makes any sense, I'm bad with words XD) Either way it still looks extraordinary, it's very smooth and the color pallet looks gorgeous!
I also completely understand what you mean with the livestream, I'd like to do art streams like that too but I am just way too scared and self conscious to ;_; I'd totally come watch you if you did one, though!

Thank you very much!
I think I agree, there could definitely be more stretchyness. Perhaps I got too occupied with keeping the design exactly the same in each frame - it's an easy trap to fall into. I'd almost say pretty much the opposite and I'd try adding more frames in the air -that way I think I could get it look lighter and almost floaty? I tried doing that but I had to fit the movement into less than 24 frames and I couldn't floatyness+twisting at the same time make sense. I'm sure I could've figured it out if I was a little more experienced though. Just need to keep practicing and maybe next time it'll be easier
Gah, yeah, livestreaming is scurry ._. I might dare to go on mic, but I don't know if I'll ever go on camera. I'd just get way too self-conscious, haha ;_;

Oooh yeah, I know I tend to do that with my more detailed characters. Ironically the other day I was watching an interview of the lead animator of Skullgirls, and one of the things that stuck with me most is that she said something along the lines of not being afraid to "break" a few of your characters bones if it helps to get your movement across-- not every frame needs to look correct or picture perfect. It was very helpful, since I tend to do that a lot with my game sprites.
Adding more frames would make sense, though I'd be worried too many frames would slow down the jump? I dunno, I think you're a better animator than I, I just wanted to help if I could XD;
Oh gosh, really? I'd be more concerned about screwing up my artwork in front of people than anything. I would be so embarrassed to be drawing something and have like, the eyes drawn too far apart or a foot too big in front of people and not even notice it!

This is a pretty fluid animation I got to say.
Good job. How many frames is this total?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thank you! I think it was 22 frames? Somewhere in that area
π: 0 β©: 1
Your welcome. It's pretty smooth for just 22 or so frames.

I really love and can't wait to stream the next time and have this as my follower alert
My kitty jumping on the screen, I can't stop watching it xD
Really great job!
