STAND BACK. I'M GOING TO TRY AND ANIMATE.

Posted by Sabtastic - May 22nd, 2013


So I finally mustered up the courage to animate something super short for practice in Flash CS3...!

I've got a really good teacher this time around, so hopefully it won't turn out to be complete garbage. lol
The whole animation is only going to be about 25 seconds long, featuring Pokemon (Haunter and Gengar).

I really like how easy the characters are to manipulate in a cartoony style (as opposed to drawing convincing human characters). The whole thing should HOPEFULLY be done when my spring classes are over in MID JUNE. I've even got a few more Pokemon team commissions in the works, so my gallery's just going to be FULL of 'MONS next month.

IN OTHER NEWS, I'm taking a really cool drawing course right now and it's super intensive!
Just out of curiosity, would any of you like to see the final work once my course is over? ... It's more charcoal and graphite studies, and I never really got the vibe that Newgrounds cares about that stuff. Should I spam the portal with it anyway, or just post a journal entry with all of them linked elsewhere?

STAND BACK. I'M GOING TO TRY AND ANIMATE.

SPAM THE ART PORTAL WITH DEM CHARCOAL DRAWINGS!!! charcoal drawings look amazing

Haha are you suuuure? There's gonna be A LOT of them.
Maybe I'll just post the good stuff. The gesture drawings and blind contours can sit this one out.

In all honesty the well done traditionalist art style is a definite welcome format to the Art section.

People care if it's done well... I've never seen anything come from you that I thought was sub-par, so the fact that you're troubling yourself over whether it's bad or not gives a solid indication that it will be, in fact, very well done.

We are, and will always be, our own worst enemy.

Keep up the great work, and whatever you do, be swell.

Aw, thanks for the kind words...!

I guess that's true. I should just suck it up and post it all. lol
That way everybody can see how shitty my gestures starts out.
Could be a good change of pace or encouragement to the beginners out there.

DUH I WANNA SEE YOUR ART. GO GO GO.

GOOD LUCK PS LOVE YOU PS LOVE AS IN A FRIENDLY WAY AND NOT BUS STATION STALKER WAY BYE

DUH OKAY

go getem sabbalicious

WILL DO CHAMBINATOR

I guess spam lightly, wait for a few reviews, then upload another.
Say, were you around when Stamper and RicePirate made that... video thing they did? Never saw such expressive acting before!

Good call! I wouldn't mind spacing it all out. Could actually increase the views that way, too. Thanks!

Sadly, I JUUUSSSST missed Stamper and Mick smearing potato salad all over themselves when I visited. It was probably for the better, though. I would have lost my shit and ruined all of their shots with my laughing. I have the WORST poker face. Now, MICK on the other hand kept a straight face for the ENTIRE movie. It was GREAT! Even while he was getting ketchup and potato salad dropped onto his face -- NO REACTION or flinching. It was amazing haha.

On the other hand, I did get to watch Chris edit most of the movie...! It's amazing how different the raw footage looked and sounded compared to the finished product. That ketchup bottle that shows up near the end was completely fake -- but it looks totally convincing. It's neat to see what he can get away with adding / deleting.

With your skills in art, I'm sure you'll be a quick learner. Can't wait to see it! :)

Thanks! :3
lol please don't be too disappointed when it turns out to be totally amateur.

Chris did an exceptional job shooting and editing... he even color balanced it! As a former video producer, it warmed my cockels quite nicely :3 Mick's made of some stern stuff alright!
I'm sure your previous gif experience, will have given you some insight into animation. Knock 'em dead, kid. And tell Mel to get off her butt and show us what she's got! Oh, and penguin pawnage on portal bots! <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/618163">http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/618163</a>

AH Thankyou for sharing this! hahaha
I can't believe I didn't already have Krinkels subscribed!

Met the guy while I was out in Philly, too.

I t could turn out well

It COULD... Not saying it WILL. :P

Haunter and Gengar are my favourites!

They're up there in my list of faves, too! :3

To be a great animator, you must learn from the best.

Hey, thanks!
I've been meaning to catch up on Harry's tutorials. I saw 1 and 6 just recently but didn't realize he was cranking them all out so quickly!

Haunter and gengar stare at a gnome.
a multi-part series ongoing where and interdimensional lawn ornament travels to random universes.
Also, pico day was freaking incredible, i managed to save one recording but i'm still unsure whether i should post it since we all were acting a bit tizzy towards 12 am. :S

anyways, hope you had a great time at philly and best of luck to your flash!

Don't worry it won't be THAAAT bad. hahaha

My trip went well, too! Was super chill. Everybody was super accommodating and fun to be around.

And then once you get really good. You can pitch a cartoon to Cartoon Hangover.

And soon you'll be making awesome stuff like this!

WHOA WHOA, I'm a bit far from being able to pitch cartoons just yet. xD haha
lol thanks for the suggestion though!

Good luck with it and I look forward to what you manage to show afterwards :)

Thanks!
Now that I've announced it, I think the pressure's gonna be on to NOT make the animation look like utter crap. hahaha

Oh, definitely. looking forward to it!

Heh, thanks! xD
Hope I don't disappoint.

First a game, now an animation ... what the hell Sab?! Next is voice acting and music composition!

Haha hey, it's a possibility!
It won't be GOOD, but I'll take a stab at it sooner or later!

Took you long enough. ;P

...RIGHT? D:

I didnt know girls animated things?

I secretly have a penis. Shhhh.

Sounds dangereuse.

Hey Sabtastic please put me in animation of my avator icon besides I think that I might like it.

There's no animation here what a gyp.

SORRY IT'S IN THE WORKS :V
