Description Well... this animation has no purpose and the movement makes no sense. But I love animating so I made it, let's take it as a practice of "finished" animation (which contrasts my previous, sketchy animations). I love what Flash can do.

(The animation has no preloader so please give it some time to load.)

Hi ^^ So let me say, first off, this one of the greatest animations I have ever seen. I am extremely impressed, and jealous.

Negatives: The actual running/jumping was wrong for a wolf, you used one hop to get from the ground to the stone, and in reality [well, art world really], it would take a few steps, or a few good hops, to get onto that stone. Also, the animation from jumping from the first stone to the second stone was a little off, but it worked.

Positives: The anatomy for the wolf, despite it's extra limbs, is fantastic. The character itself is complex and hard to draw in general. But to make an amazing, shaded, animation like that takes a lot of time and skill.


All in all, it is an amazing animation, and I can't wait to see more e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/sā€¦ " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>

I pretty much agree with all the negatives you mentioned (actually I found that the movement is wrong when I was somewhere in the middle of creating the animation, but I finished it anyways just for the fun of it). But, if you put everything you have (skills-wise) into a single piece and there are such mistakes, you immediately find what you need to improve the most. My time was not wasted

Thank you very much for the critique!

I just love the transition of the animation into the logo. It all fits so perfectly. I especially love how you did the perspective twisting. That was pretty sweet.

Wow, thats amazing! Do you think you can make the same animation of my winged wolf called silver, and just without the words at the ending?

akelataka In reply to WingedSilverWolf [2011-05-22 21:23:55 +0000 UTC]

Thanks! And...uhm... no? That took quite some time you know... if you are interested in commissioning me, we can talk about it, but animations are charged per number of frames. I won't do simple recolor as it's not original and it would make this one animation much less precious...

I didn't make a Flash tutorial, but this one here is pretty much the same, only done in Photoshop:

Wow! This is incredibly gorgeous!
I just love how you've done a camera pan -- it makes it look so 3D!
And actually, people who've mentioned that you haven't shown his/her weight enough on this -- since it's a flying wolf, it'd be much lighter than your average wolf in order to fly heh.
Very lovely though, is going straight to my faves!

You know. That wolf kinda reminds me of a pic I made.

I you look, you can see that they bear a small resemblance:

NP.

Look at the face. The left side is black and the right side is white. Just like your wolf.

akelataka In reply to swampert28 [2010-12-07 08:48:58 +0000 UTC]

You just upload it the same way as you would upload JPEG or other file. But then you have to add a preview in JPEG or PNG.

HammerGod [2010-11-05 16:39:26 +0000 UTC]

Relatively good animation. The wolf didn't seem to have much mass/weight in it's jump, which took away some of the coolness. I liked the rising earth pillars, though. Really reminded me of the end sequence in "Be Prepared", from The Lion King.

akelataka In reply to HammerGod [2010-11-14 22:33:09 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, thank you, the mass/weight already has been mentioned and it is definitely something I need to work on next time! The rising pillars were inspired by Birth By Sleep, but I love the scene from Be Prepared as well

shenxx [2010-10-07 23:01:49 +0000 UTC]

Well done! The perspective switch adds a nice touch. I would work on giving the character more weight; what I mostly notice is the movement of her legs when she jumps.
