So i watched This and was inspired to create a small spark effect so here it is!

Edit:
had to change the size and it looks very cool (at least to me) in low quality. lol ?

Edit2: so i enjoyed doing that alot so here are more it is really busy but i figured i'd put them all in one instead of posting them separately

My Part in the ABC collab

[Alcaknight]

Definitely liked the way that, that plant sprouted. Nice job!

[TheGrayK]

Thanks Alca
Much Appreciated
Hopefully I will be getting a Tablet
soon (Within the next month or so!)
and I will be animating and drawing alot more
I just cant stand the mouse so I tend to
get lazy in my projects I start out with full intent to create
something awesome then I get lazy and decide to just scribble the rest.

Some Motion Tracking. I had a lot of fun making this, soon I am going to scrap this version and redo it with the 3D object only being rendered so I can apply some effects to make it look as though it was also viewed through the camera.

BUMP.
Thanks to Alcaknight for the inspiration!

So this morning has been really hectic for me (AKA NOT GOOD)
And I've just found out that drawing is an excellent outlet for me normally when I'm mad I'm mad for 2-3 days
but once I grabbed the mouse I wasn't so mad as I type this I am getting more and more Frustrated Hmmm need to draw some more.
anyway here is what went down
First I started animating.

Then I got lost in it.

Haha, I like the background, though try keeping the legs more consistent so they arent as wobbly. Nice job, though. :DD

Edit:

Make a circle with the circle tool, make it a symbol (F8), and call it head. Then use it on a different layer and just move it along with the body. Much easier that way and more consistent. Try using the grid also, to keep from resizing. :3

Thanks for the tips Alca.

I was looking around my computer and I found Two animations I made in photoshop like a year ago
They are relatively the same but I think I did them a couple months apart but here the are
p.s. I fixed up one a little.

This Darthvader one is a little choppy but I was just playing with his cape
Trying to teach myself how it would work.



Edit: well since as of the time I am posting this I dont need a bump I will edit this into this post 
So I read Adam's Blog post about the smoke/fog effect and I played around and made this and
thought it look eerily human like so I tweaked with it a bit added some filters and such and as it is Nearing all Hallows Eve
I figured Id Post this.

you should work more on your drawing, fundamentals and stuff before you animate because animating is hard when you don't understand those things in the beginning.

[Alcaknight]

I don't entirely agree with that. You don't have to be an artist to animate, that's what is nice about it. That is also how you progress. By getting better at animation, you get better at drawing, or you can do it the other way around.

I don't really have any critique on the smoke. It looked nice, though it kept on moving.

Loathsome while I do truly appreciate you for trying to help me out I don't think that this is the right way to do it this message only discouraged me from pursuing animation and drawing and in no way has influenced me positively. I understand that you did not mean to do this you were only trying to help but this just made me feel like I should give up. As I have told you before all of this is my practice and personally I don't think that there is a better platform to practice drawing on than animation where else would you get to draw the same character 800 times for a practical outcome? Again I do thank you but maybe give just a little more critique backed with some pats on the back or something.

Thanks Alca and the smoke kept moving because i wanted it to have a twitchy look.
I thought I would give it an uneasy feel and add to the eerieness of it all.

A crappy crappymatic for a super short animation I am working on (for practicing purposes) hopefully it will be done tomorrow or the next day!

News with the crappy-matic I had to restart I just did not like the end result it looked nice but the animation did not feel like I wanted it to so Im starting all over and hopefully will be done tonight.
