Description This scene takes place in a white city covered with snow on an overcast day--so no background or shadows. I mean, I usually don't draw backgrounds anyway, but today I actually have a mediocre excuse for it, so I might as well use it.

I like the design in this, and the sketchiness.

I like sketchy.


Characters are Fescu and Darnda, and they belong to moi.

*Note: The names of these characters have been updated.

Noodle Ferin and Swooshy Dress Daliah are so cute together.

Your ability to catch movement in clothing and hair is so awesome~
I'm loving it. <3

Haha, I thought it was blood at first too and I quickly looked to the title and relaxed a bit. Paint is fun to throw on people!

And I think Ferin was a cheerleader in a former life.

When I first saw this I thought they were bloody. I was all NOOO!!!! But then I clicked on it and saw the happy (read: mischievous) faces and realized it was just paint--der havin FUN. (Course, the title does help...) I don't think Dahlia will be very happy when that splatter coming off of Ferin's brush reaches her face, though.

I LOVE SKETCHY, TOO!! (my excuse for the lack of finished work in my gal.) But seriously, this picture just smacks my point further home in the fact that YOU HAVE TO ANIMATE. You have to.... Just... TRY IT. the worst that can happen is it wont work. And then you can get mad and blame me. There are plenty of free gif programs on download dot com, and the stuff is safe there, else I wouldn't said that...

The one thing you need to know about animation is that it runs at 24 frames per second. So if your working on ones (One frame every 24th of a second) you will have 24 drawings for every second. If your working on twos, you will have the same picture repeated every 24th of a second. In other words, you will only have 12 drawings a second instead of 24 because your repeating each drawing or frame once. For starters, try a character you know how to draw well at all angles spinning. This should be easy for you because you know fabric movemnt so well. Try it on ones first and if it goes by too fast, go back and repeat each frame so its now playing on two's. I should tell you right now that all my animations on youtube (except the two new ones--the clay one and the coin one) were all done incorrectly. They're going on random speeds. So lets get you started out right by telling you how fast the frame rate has to be!

I gave all that info for free... lol. If you have any questions, you know who to ask. I have a book I'd like to scan a few pictures from and show you if you're interested.

Now it looks like I just wrote a book, so I'll stop now. D=

I do want to try and animate, but it will have to wait until I finish my book. If I try to animate now, I will focus all my time on that, cuz I'm wierd that way. When I'm introduced to something new, I obsess over it for a while and everything else falls by the wayside. But I will definitly let you know when I need your help animating. It's something I KNOW I want to do! And thank you for all the information, it's helpful!

Even though I love Ferin's little enthusiastic jump, Dahlia's expression is my favorite! And I love how much excitment and movement is in the picture, it feels like you are actually a part of their game!
