UmbreWulf's Animated Dragons, Banners, and Custom-Made GIFs!

 

Hi! I make GIFs (They are like little videos that just loop over and over) and banners! What do they look like? There are examples down towards the bottom of this post.

 

The List (This is where you go if you requested something.)

1.) Piemaster

 

 

The Color Code of Progress

Haven't started

Started

Halfway done

Almost done

Finished and awaiting post

Finished and posted

I've got a few rules though, please read them....

1.) Please fill out a sheet if you want something.

2.) I won't take requests if the list is full, so like no reservations.

3.) Be very specific about motion and whatnot. I don't do well with oh-you-know-whatever-looks-cool.

4.) Put the words 'with a mustache' in your form somewhere.

5.) If you want your OC, you must include a reference link. Please.

6.) I can only do animals well if you want customs. Like cats, dogs, horses, wolves. Cartoony adorable fuzzy dragons./shot. They will be cartooney, as that is my style. You have been warned!

7.) I don't require payment and that probably won't change! I don't want your eggs or hatchlings. This is a hobby, not a way to get rares for myself.

8.) These take a lot of work! Please don't use them anywhere but DragonCave! (Unless I give you permission, of course.)

9.) I can't do things that would require frame-by-frame animation like breathing fire or water splashing.

 

Approvers

 

Don't ask to be an approver. I choose these people. They have the power to accept or deny forms so traffic and chaos don't occur. They are...

-Me (UmbreWulf)

-Girlfairy76

 

Animated Avatar Sizes...

50x50 (Small, better for hatchlings or pygmies)

100x100 (Average avatar size)

 

Banner Sizes...

Any size you want. Please specify.

 

Now, are you ready to make a request? Good! Fill this out...

 

[COLOR=purple][SIZE=14]I want.... something!![/COLOR][/SIZE]
[B]Username:[/B]
[B]What You Want:[/B] (I do banners, digital art, sprites and, of course, GIFs.)
[B]Size:[/B]

[B]Background:[/B] (Not necessary if transparent, which is an option.)
[B]Text:[/B] (If you want it to say something.)
[B]What would you like on it?[/B]
[Specify here]

 

Please note that GIFs will take longer than banners. Thank you!

 

P.S. Shoot me a PM and I will show you what progress I have made, if any.

Please shoot me a PM or post, I want to give the people as big of a variety as possible! Only you can give it to them! :3

 

 

How I Make These Things

Well, quite a bit of work goes into these! Here's how it's done...

1.) Get or make sprite (depends on if it is a custom, customs are harder because I myself sprite them) and get permission to use if needed.

2.) Open GIMP and cut the sprite into pieces, filling whatever would be behind that piece and putting each one on seperate layers. Make background or text if wanted. Save as .psd. (Longest step.)

3.) Import into Anime Studio Pro 8 and put in bones.

4.) Test bones to make sure they work like they are supposed to. Fix anything that acts weird or in a way it shouldn't.

5.) Animate it! Usually depends on complexity of request.

6.) Save as frames and load into GIMP.

7.) Convert frames to .gif.

8.) Upload to Tinypic.

9.) Post here, editing front page.

10.)PM requester.

11.) Repeat 5-9 if edits are necessary.

12.) Get approval.

13.) Reopen requests.

14.) Start all over again unless the dragon of choice is already rigged with bones and cut into pieces.

 

See? LOTS of work but worth it if you love it.

 

Spread the Word!

 

Spread my thread with banners that MOVE!

Oh! I had seen you with that avi in the RP section, and I was curious to see where you got it. I was almost goint to PM you.

 

I want a GIF or banner!

Username: Thegreenrat

Banner or GIF: GIF

Size:How big is your avatar? I want it about that size.

Reference: Is the RP not enough? Then, here's a pic of an OCHREDRAKE HATCHIE to help you out.

Background Color: Light-blue with clouds.

Text: KLUTZ: The escaping Dragon!

Transparent: IDC

What would you like on it?

An ochredrake hatchie (Klutz), heading west. Occasionally, he'll trip and land flat on his face. Maybe some grass underneath him?

To specify on text: I want the text to show above Klutz during the entire GIF. I don't want it to cut to a screen to display the text, OK?

 

Is this too much to ask? I feel like I'm making it too complex.

AHHHH So cute!! But I see one minor flaw though...

 

When the hatchie's flying, it seems to be missing a leg, which causes the visible leg to look like some awkward appendage. Could you fix that part?

Share this post

Oh, sorry! Dx I had to make new legs and forgot that it had one hidden behind the back leg! I'll do it later today...

hey umbrewulf, i just thought i'd let you know that you can't animate some dragons, because the spriter doenst give permission to. the neglegted hatchie is fine but some others arn't

 

you can see the first post in my thread where i put the dragons that need permissions and stuff.

I also noticed that the shadowing on him seems to change for a frame or two when he is on the ground.

That's because Gimp is stupid moving body parts to animate them can throw off shading. I can't fix it without either

 

A.) Messing up the shading even more

 

B.) Redrawing the offending area.

 

*Facedesk* I'm busy today, but working on giving it a second hind-leg.

I also fixed that little neck derp where it lost color when lifting into flight.
