Description I felt like animating something again, and when I couldn't figure out what to animate, my friend helped me out by suggesting a bird taking off and flying :3 And since I have a little budgie right in front of me, I made an animation of a budgie in flight~

Please forgive he awful anatomy of the bird. I have little patience for detail when I animate ;_________; The only "ref" I had was my own little birdy, Felix, and he can't do much flying with his wings clipped XD Silleh burd~ <3

Just found this 10 year old animation. Did you finish it? (colour, background, idk)

Awww... I have five little budgies, and this is an adorable animation!
Though budgies tend to go "whirr" when they fly. Believe me, I know : / (bird attack)

Thank you :3

Well, since I wasn't working on it non-stop, I took a break from it to do homework and commissions, I guess in all it took me about six hours~ Maybe eight. I wasn't exactly keeping track XD

Thankies huuuuuun <333 * snugs *

I didn't feel like actually animating them so I "tucked" them up against the belly in the bird's feathers |D MAGIKALLY INVISIBLE

That's really awesome. C: I love the wings. And the feet. For some reason, I've never figured out where to draw them when I'm drawing a bird in flight...

TamHorse In reply to nitoa [2010-12-11 06:38:26 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you! To be honest, I just guessed XD I assumed that, after take-off, the feet would then tuck up under the belly and be out of sight~ |D
I dunno, my bird's never been air-loft long enough to observe fully~ X3 And I didn't feel like actually looking at any refs

Thankies <33

It took up 18 x_________x And when I was lining the sketches I had over 30 layers pulled up! I can't imagine what a colored animation would be like ;A;
