First attempts at animating

First things first - I've recently been doing some work for BandicootMask on the Crash Mania forums, for CM-TV - a show starring the members of the forum, providing information about the forum and Crash Bandicoot series. If you watch that video, you may spy me somewhere.

I used Clay-Model Polyrhythm (or as I called her, 'Polymodel') as the subject for a couple of hand-drawn animations I did. I just used the GIMP to flip the pictures together like a flick-book (I have not downloaded the Animation Package for the GIMP, but if animating becomes a regular thing then I may just do that).


Plain lineart:
Tired Polyrhythm
Sleeping Polyrhythm


And 'Polyrhythm Sleeping' I actually coloured in GIMP today, frame by frame:



Nothing particularly Flash-y (hurrrr) but I do enjoy it even if positioning frames and drawing the same thing over and over does get a tiny bit tedious. It's fun! :D
