Description Zira: "What?! *head turn* Don't be stupid!"
My very first animation!! (Well, not including sketchy crap like eye rolling and blinking xDD) This isn't perfect, I know. But hey, take it easy on me, I don't go to animation school, or barely know anything about animating itself.
I realize I forgot the notch in her ear, lets just say this was before then x3 Critique is welcome :3

Mickiie In reply to oliecannoligriffard [2011-08-22 22:48:18 +0000 UTC]

No, unless you mean turn it into a GIF file, which i did ^^ To save it, I used this tutorial [link] (Only the very bottom part, the rest I kinda figured out by myself ^^)

oliecannoligriffard In reply to Mickiie [2011-08-26 16:24:31 +0000 UTC]

i know how to make a gif file, what i am asking is how you were able to upload one so large, the site wouldbt let upload anything over 150x150, yours looks like seven times bigger. do you get my meaning?

Mickiie In reply to oliecannoligriffard [2011-08-28 00:45:23 +0000 UTC]

I understand what you're saying, i honestly don't know what i did though for it to be bigger than it's supposed to be Sorry

Well, she does look younger. I can imagine this being before she received her ear notch.

Mickiie In reply to MountainLygon [2011-08-22 22:45:56 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, really the whole younger looking thing was bit of an accident, I noticed this when i started inking, and was going to change it to make her look older, but then i realized I forgot her ear notch and was just too lazy to put it back in all the layers LOL XD

Noratcat In reply to Mickiie [2011-08-23 19:25:55 +0000 UTC]

No prob. Hmm you know for some reason I am thinking of the hyenas. You think any of them had any gluttony moments while living under Scar? I mean they more or less had free reign and such.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mickiie In reply to Noratcat [2011-08-27 18:55:20 +0000 UTC]

Oh most definitely. They had to do nothing but laze around all day, eat whatever they wanted do (even some of the cubs maybe?) They had the easiest life, that's why it took so much for them to leave. Heck, I could imagine them trying to come back even as Simba took to reign as king xD

Noratcat In reply to Mickiie [2011-08-28 00:19:39 +0000 UTC]

Well maybe one day, perhaps Shenzi and Banzai's future daughter could smooth things over between the Hyena's and the Pridelands? I mean Shenzi is hte matriarch. That way Shenzi could live out her golden years.

You know I also picture Timon getting fat on bugs eventually lol

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Mickiie In reply to Noratcat [2011-08-28 00:47:39 +0000 UTC]

I could see that. Sometimes I wonder if Shenzi, Banzai, and Ed were siblings, both theories are really plausible. But, if Simba was dead by the time Shenzi's daughter came around to make peace, I bet Kovu wouldn't be so peaceful lol

And yes!! Haha, a tubby Timon, and it'd make it even funnier if Pumbaa ended up losing weight!!

Noratcat In reply to Mickiie [2011-08-28 04:36:05 +0000 UTC]

True that lol.

I read a fic where that happened. I also read some stories where he became a father. Imagine him gaingin weight later in life while his son/daughter tries to get him to watch his wieght.

When her ears go back, they should go back, instead of down. Otherwise they just look miscombobulated and it makes her head look far too round. Her nose also lost a bit of it's great shape when she turned it. But this is really good for your first animation!

Mickiie In reply to TheNameIsWater-Wea [2011-08-22 02:07:55 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, I totally understand what you're saying. My mom said the same exact thing, but I just kinda shrugged her off lol XD And I see what you mean about the nose, I'll keep practicing, thanks so much for the critique!

JasmynGarden [2011-08-21 20:40:06 +0000 UTC]

Mick, this is awesome!! for your first animation, it's really good ^^ just one thing: care about the mouth movement. i use to pronunciate the words when i wanna animate, so i do it in slow motion and then you draw it ^^ it's really fun when you say the words this way haha XD
well done

Mickiie In reply to JasmynGarden [2011-08-22 02:05:51 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!! And yeah, I totally understand what your saying; When i first made it, the mouth movement was a bit better, but when i uploaded it on my photobucket account to see what it'd look like, it was super slow and not very good, so I had to cut down soo many layers D: But I'll totally keep that in mind next time, thanks dear!
