Description My half of an art trade with

He wanted something with his sibling OC's, Mina and Reno, dressed up as a mage and a warrior.

Find the Easter eggs to activate their powers ^^

Mina casts Mini...

Reno casts Undead....

Halloween isn't really Halloween if brothers and sisters aren't trying to prank or scare each other *nods*

This is awesome! I love the way you draw characters, and the animations are just so cool! The only thing though is I couldn't find Reno's easter egg for the longest time... Then I read your hint in the comments. ^____^

And I now insist that if there is ever fighting game made with Sanone's Characters... Zombie Reno has to be one of the unlockable ones. Because that's just awesome. He could do ranged attacks by throwing his head at them!

And I don't think I even need to go into how cool the 'Mini' easter egg is. ^____^

Yet another one of my final fantasy references ^^

A zombie Reno fighter would definitely kick some serious ass... especially if his head explodes on impact and then grows back on his body *nods*

Glad you liked it. I'll try to make my Easter eggs easier to find... but I do enjoy making things challenging every once in a while ^^

Nothing wrong with that. I've thought about doing a picture in flash, and then adding easter eggs, but not letting anyone know it's flash... Just hiding something in there to see if they check it or not.

Sneaky, secret bonus.

Now I'm going to check all of your new art for Easter eggs... just in case ^^

I've actually been playing with flash animation the last couple of days... I really would like to animate again- I haven't in a while, since I was in school, and after seeing your works, and a couple of web cartoons, I've found new determination to try again.

The only problem I'm having is trying to figure out how to deal with symbols. For instance- I make a drawing of Takai, then convert it to a symbol so that I can scale it. But then, say I want to move her arms in one frame... So then, I have to break apart the symbol, make the changes... And then it's not the same symbol anymore.

I don't even know what the real question is behind all this... I guess what I really would like to ask is- How do you set up your characters? Do you put all their different pieces on different layers, or do you make them into separate symbols, or do you even use symbols at all?

6inchSAMURAI In reply to chibiBiscuit [2008-11-04 15:37:07 +0000 UTC]

Hmmm... let's see...

Well, symbols are usually used for things that are going to have a repetitive animation cycle. I always use a movie clip symbol for a characters eyes, especially if they're going to be blinking.

For simple movements, I put different character pieces on different layers... Like arms or heads.

So basically, you'll need a mix of symbols and layered pieces... I hope that helps ^^

Thank you so much for your advice! I've just been playing with scale a lot (for obvious reasons ^_^); and it always seems to want it all to be in a symbol then. Its pretty fun... but handling drawing in there is a bitter pill. >_<

*nods*

Welcome to my world ^^

Oh, yes. Forgot to mention...

If you do scale changes with you character, it's usually best too make them a symbol first. That way you can add special effects to make them look all blurry as the grow or shrink.

Thanks for the tip!

Flash is fun, but boy it takes a while to get used to. I've been bouncing back and forth between loving it and abandoning it. ^_^

Holy shit, dude. You've more than passed what I was expecting.

...even though I don't like to admit it, you probably portrayed their anime versions much better than I could ever hope to. Seems Flash is the new way to the future. c:

But on a side note, I kinda need to start my half.... ¬¬

Take your time with your half ^_^

I only rushed mine because of the Halloween deadline... It would have been silly to upload it in November...

Glad you like it. But I think the way you portray Reno and Mina is much better *nods*

The "Growing Pains" comic is my favorite ^^

Leave it Mina to dress as something that has the spell "Mini". Too bad there isn't a growth spell in the White Mage's list of spells.

Happy Halloween Mina and Reno!
