OK so I have had several people get weirded out by my avatar (which I love) and it has derailed at least one decent thread, so I'm in the market for another. I've spent more time than I care to admit trying to make a transparent av of a dandelion where the white poof was an eye (it's basically just like the poof, same shape and everything but it's an eye with a green iris) and the stem of the dandelion, and the wind blows it away slowly and it loops by quickly sprouting again. I have also tried to do a sunflower with an eye blinking at you, gently twisting around towards the posts and back and blinking, with similar frustrations. I've thought about an eye opening up like a hinge and a bunch of raspberries fall out of it, but I think that might weird people out also. It turns out: I'm absolutely poo poo at digital drawings. Maybe I should go back to the black and white one. ---------------- |

Vendor Trash posted:i'll miss that av it rules , it owns, and jackie fabric did an excellent job. I am always noticing something new with it, but it's time for another. We'll always have If someone really and truly wants to work on that, and I use it, I will gladly do up to a 10 buck forums cert of their choice, or steam/whatever, but not until friday, also the av has to stay 'til friday 'cause that's payday. ---------------- |

BIG BIC SQUAD posted:I dig these concepts, if you'd like I could try to makeone for you, not sure how successful I'd be If you want, for sure, that'd be greatly appreciated. Right now, I'm kinda leaning towards keeping what I have and just telling people to adblock it if they don't like it. However; I'd like to be accommodating if someone has made a good one of any of those. ---------------- |

A forums poster (dunno if they want me saying who) pm'd me a cool image that I really adore the leaves and stem for: and it gave me ideas. After spending awhile, I got these two, which I'm not entirely happy with: The first one is very slightly slower. The pupil movement is a little weird. The idea is it glances over at the post, is like "whoa, uh what" and slowly goes back to the center. Other ideas I couldn't implement for this that I tried:
Maybe this is still weirds people out too much? Not sure. Will check this during lunch tomorrow, maybe work on it tomorrow more, but I think this is the limit of my "skill" ---------------- |

BIG BIC SQUAD posted:I dunno if you'll like this idea but maybe it would be cool to have a realistic version of the same general animation? The whole point of changing my av from my current one is because I've gotten complaints about it and makes a few posters uncomfortable. Making it realistic would be making it worse, otherwise I would keep it or literally buy a pomegranate, paint it to be an eye, and make a stop motion of it being chopped in half by a cleaver by me. Besides, drawn stuff is cooler imo. landy. posted:I think there's too much delay between frames on your gif. if you lowered the delay it would probably look more smooth. ok, it was landy, he made the cool one. I'm gonna work on the frames on the gif tomorrow. Maybe I can reduce it down. Maybe download a program instead of using a website or ask my image witch friend to make it smoother. ---------------- |

this is my simple animation of sal's drawing of twofive's avatar. i wanted the music notes to trail behind it, but i'm poo poo at cropping, filling in behind, and i felt deleting and redrawing her notes was a)disrespectful and b)wouldn't be as cute/stylistically similar anyways also i made sure to credit cat dynamite for the cool eye in my sig, which is something i forgot to do. thanks for the stoner eye, crap ---------------- |

Salmiakki posted:awww this is really cute! if you had a version lying around without the notes and offered the notes as a separate image, and if twofive is actually interested, I could rework it and make it loop if twofive prefers that over the shake to takeoff or keep as is just with notes ---------------- |

# ¿ Jul 21, 2015 21:19 |
i set it to 50ms and it was taking forever. i could have taken out half the frames, but the animation wouldn't have been as smooth. when i rework this, i can post a few different speeds, but anything slower than that is "ugh this is bullshit, i'm not waiting around for this crap"
