Sorry. Even I pale in comparison to a professional team of dozens of people who know what the fuck they're actually doing :P.

So get a team of professionals. :P

Someday, when I am very, very wealthy perhaps :lol:.

Bah :P.

Okay, fine. So I bought Frametoon, now I'm playing around with it.

Please recognize this is my first attempt using a program in a language I can barely half-assed understand :wink:. And I'm sick. And yeah. Okay.

Here

There is also this I did in prep: a small sketchomation of no particular note:
Here

Again, PLEASE bear in mind I had NEVER used this program before, so it's half-assed and lazy.

*nods* Definately crude, but a very good start and absolutely shows promise.

Cool shit! I'll try and find that and test it out. :D

P.S. I thought it was funny how your own work was apparently fansubbed, since you can write english perfectly well. ;)

I've always thought the this story would be a kickass animated movie. Of course, I see everything that way.

Your art style translates to animation really well. It just needs a bit of refinement.

Here is the second Frametoon test. I'm starting to figure out what some of the REALLY IMPORTANT buttons are :lol:.

So you are. :)

This makes the idea of an actual anime of Dark Councilors all the more appealing.

You should send a script to somebody or something. :wink:

Go for it ;)

the worst that can happen is they never respond to you and it gets consigned to the dumpster...

<_<
>_>

Well, then again.

Though your more realistic works tend to throw me off a bit, it is nevertheless very well done indeed. The "moody" expression works well.

Very nice Pick, for one brief moment I hounestly couldn't tell if that was "real" or not.

Is there any other medium you'd like to extend your hands into? Macroni pictures, perhaps? Anway, those animations are crude, but there really is potential. I'm impressed.

It's very nice, as always, Pick :D

I have a question, though. This Frametoon program that you use, is it vector-based? I checked the site but, well, about the only Japanese characters that I know are ル, ン, ツ and の, so that did not go very well :(


Edit: Did not go well, I mean

It's not vector based, no. Sometimes I really wish OC/FT had even a basic vector function, but they really don't.

I'm reminded of Voices of the Stars, which was entirely animated by one person... just sayin'! :wink:

Is the hand supposed to come up like that or is it supposed to move smoother.

If it´s supposed to move smoother you need to check out the keyframing section of your Frametoon manual.

The pics are WOW like always. :D

Reminds me of this one.

Your characters actually make a decent transition to a more realistic style- which was admittedly rather unexpected.

Or maybe I'm a seventeen year old girl who doesn't have time for a Disney FPS level.

Also, Frametoon's "manual" is a small guide in Japanese, which I can't read particularly well.
