You have been doing it for longer than me, but at the same time, I've made more animations than you.

I just keep spewing them out, some of them have to be good, right? :D

Sorry for double post, but I have something important to say.

On another forum, made for Pivot animations, I posted this in the "beginners section" because I was still considered a beginner.

It was ignored, I got annoyed and posted it again. It got one reply-

"TAHT WAS BRILAINT!"
(Or something along those lines)

I got pissed and posted the animation in the normal section, they pointed out the mistakes and asked for a reason, I said- "I make these for fun, I don't strive to be perfect."

And that was it. For fun.

Nowadays I'm making them, not for fun, but for my friends, or for you guys, sometimes even just because I think I have to.

Well, that's going to change.

My animations will all be at the standards of the first part of that last one (the IMO better part), because I'm making them for me.

This also means that you might be getting less stik animations...

Still, I hope you guys understand.

Nah, they're all good. Well, except for the early ones that had clunky animation. But as we both know, animating smoothly takes time.

Speaking of animations, Thing's Adventure 2 is happily going along at a wonderful pace of not having had any work done on it for about a month or two. Animating multiple characters at once is still hard in flash, unfortunately… Maybe I should try one layer for each character…

I don't blame you. You should be making them for you. If you're not having fun making animations, you shouldn't be making them.

Rofl I guess it's a nice change from when I'm usually making fun of everything you say.

What if..

What if, one day, a bored 14 year old with too much spare time, decided to make an animation built on his own username? And what if, he decided to include as many previously used characters/effects/stickfigures as possible?

This is no "what if".

THIS IS
EPIC ANIMATION
http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x297 ... s/EPIC.gif

WARNING: Big-ish animation.

Real story- I decided it was about time I got myself an animated signature for use on the stickpage forums. But half-way through I got carried away and made EPIC ANIMATION.

IT MUST BE IN CAPITALS!

LOWER CASE epic animation IS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!

Other junk/info

Too big (filesize) to be a signature (I think..)

249 frames (excluding consecutive "twin" frames [2 or more frames the same])

The animation worsens at the end on purpose, but the jump was supposed to look good.

I made it while listening to System of a down- Toxicity. Though I had to play it several times because of how long it took to make this.

This topic, at the time of this posting has 72716 views.

Transformers 1&2
Limb
Mynd
Portal Tribute
Star Wars
"Don't do drugs" AKA- ZOMGWTF!?
That one with the invisible guy with the screwdriver/drill/knife.
Broken (Just the freaky flash)
Red Magic
Box Breaker
CTF

Meh. Looks better on PS3.

Seriously though, that's pretty good! Keep it up! I like the fact that it's very fluid. Things _could_ happen faster, but that's a matter of taste.
