2-5 second Animation Exercises

[Jacks]

Hah, that's pretty classy

Anyhow, here's my pigeon, screwed the last one up really badly so I redid it. It's difficult to do those feathers, or even feather groups. May revisit this later, but any thoughts so far? :B

I wound up doing a lot of actions in one go, so maybe going straight in isn't a great idea if you're not used to it (I should really be.. ehh..).

Also, what do you think of the idea of turning a simple shape into an animal/have it move like an animal? It's a simple exercise that my tutors at uni got us to do at the very beginning. (Like the flour sack kind of thing, but a little more focused, y'know?)

Hahah, I had only read your last post when I started, not the first!

I'll do the fish, later in the week, perhaps.

Today, you get this:

The animal: Flying squirrel-type-thing, hahah.

*bump*

Shape: Triangle
Animal: Flounder

Oh boy, am I slow or am I slow. I'll change the animal before the end of this week!!

Maybe I'll do the flour sack motiv next time..

Anyway! This is my 'fish', or rather swimming eel/slug The shape lines are still there, so you know what it was, at least XD; Can't be bothered with the writeup just now, I miiight do one later. Might.

I like the floundangle, Kado! Also who is that flipping us off in the first one..? XD

Also.. I'm wondering, if I made a group for this on dA, how many of you would join?

Sorry for the double post, just to let you know that I've made a group on dA for this also.

Here's the link: 2-5secanimation.deviantart.com/

I've refined the rules a little bit, to keep them nice and clear cut. If you're uploading them to dA anyway, feel free to enter them in!

I'm sorry; I should have responded to that a lot sooner. :/

The pigeon is well-drawn here(I can tell what it is, when I look at it), although the left leg seems unusually flexible when it trips. I don't know enough about small birds to say this out of certainty, though.

(The first animation featured a very out-of-character Winston Churchill. A small inside joke, if you will. I felt kind of cheap for tracing him, though. Eugh. )

Also, the circle-slug-fish-thing was pretty fluid for fbf. The lines looked cleaned up. I enjoyed watching it.

Thanks Kado! Also I just realised there was something kind of blatantly wrong with it after I posted it lol. The legs expanded! D:

I just thought I'd update with the following- our group now has an icon. I was working on this thing on and off all day just to make it 'right'.

Hope it's to your liking! I'm pretty chuffed with it myself.

Also- I've updated the group with the animal to be drawn! Shall do so here as well. Also extended the time so it's a month, but do feel free to do two separate pieces if you have the inclination, lol.

Guys,

If you want your work in the dA group, please note me with a link, and I'll get it right in Thanks!

New one. Five seconds this time. Oh boy, I'm dangerous <0<

[Celest]

I'd gladly work on one of these if I wasn't so 'caught up' on Mock'it Pon and other drawing things of mine. :<
