Guess what!? I got around to finishing those Koda emots I spoke of months ago! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!
Now, I still have the kenai emots, so next time I feel like it or anyone else wants to have kenai back or something, I'll make an arrangement to have them switched everyonce in a while. Anyways, just post and see for yourself!
Also, I uploaded my art once again, cleaned it up and such. I'll show you what I mean later. Anyways, Koda looks so cute mini! ;D

Also, I just noticed now, all previous emoticons that were used from the kenai list were changed to the koda emots. I hope that doesn't effect anyone's posts in how they meant to display them!  I hope you like these! I spent all night last night creating them then today animating them. Tell me whatcha think!!!  |

Great new Emoticons. Did you have to animate each frame for each one? How did you maintain consistency between all of them? What software did you use?
When I do animation frame by frame, I import frames into Premiere, and it animates them flawlessly.

Great new Emoticons. Did you have to animate each frame for each one? How did you maintain consistency between all of them? What software did you use? When I do animation frame by frame, I import frames into Premiere, and it animates them flawlessly. Well, as far as animation goes... I made each and every frame in the dreaded program, MSpaints, but I like MSpaints, it's much simplier and easier to use. Once I created the base look and pallete of the head of the emoticon (which is hard, considering they're pretty small compared to the original detailed character themself), I copy/paste the image several times, altering it to make a set custom list of emots. So say I paste it 15 more times, making a total of 16, which is the base number of emots used for the boards. Some of the emotions erquire animation. So I copy past them some more, alter their looks and expressions, and add movement to the eyes, eyebrows, ears, mouth, and other things. Once I have a set of frames for one emotion, I put them into seperate BMP files, which is pretty small. When I get a set, of oh, lets say 5 frames for one such as the EMBARASSED look, I take those frames, put them into a seperate folder on my pc, open up my FAVORITE program, coffeecup gif animator VERSION 6.2 (the other new versions require you to quit using the TRIAL in an EX amount of day, and even then so, they put a large coffee cup image, covering a large portion of the animation, which makes it look horrible). I use coffeecup to animate the figures and frames with ease, just with the simple browsing of a button. It's hard to explain, but yea, that's my technique. Anyways, I'm very glad you like them!  |
