Digital Art First Animated Avatar...

OLD VERSION:

​

NEW VERSION:​

​

Honestly, I have no ideas for a signature so I made an avatar instead. Everything was created in Photoshop 8.0 but since I didn't have any experience in ImageReady, I went back to Elements to do the animating.

Any questions on what the heck it is and where it's from, feel free to ask.

Anyways, CC as usual. :D

 

I have a question...how did you make it move?

 

Well it's pretty complicated, but I believe you use GIMP, right? I think the animated feature in that program is completely different from Photoshop's so I can't exactly help you. Try heading over to the GIMP Message board.

 

You mentioned 8.0? That's CS right? And elements is 4.0 right?
Perfect, just the two I have. Could you tell me how to animate with either one plz?

 

I happened to stumble across this tutorial recently: http://www.heathrowe.com/tuts/animationbasics.asp

It's all about animating images in Adobe ImageReady (which comes with Photoshop CS.) Some parts are pretty confusing but I think you'll understand most of it.

 

CoolCool. Thx, I'll try it tm.

 

I saw some tuts on animating....I did one but it wasnt very good....looked so hard too.....anyway thats swhveet!

 

Heh, thanks. I can basically only make simple animations like this, although I'll try to improve on other ones I make.

 

*Bumps into thread, hurting self severely in the process.*

I thought this was worth a double post.

I updated the avatar with some fixed stuff.

 

How long did it take you to make it the avatar into an amination???

 

The original took me 30 minutes.

The remake took me three hours.

 

Did you have fun with it? Lol Im guessing no...

 

Well, you guessed partially right. :p

The original was pretty fun since it was my first time animating...

The remake was the exact opposite. I had to redo it so many times it ended up taking around 3 hours like I mentioned above. Thank god it's over with now. ^.^

 

Another question:D Where did you get the avatar?

 

What exactly do you mean? The pictures I used to create it?

 

Yup! I thought it was obvious Thats what I mean.

 

Got it off a video.

 

Ok! Thats all I have to say. Thanks, you must be proud of the avatar! xD
