More than Just Snow has Fallen



EDIT: I added a play button to the animation.  I wasn't sure if I was supposed to just reload it, but I didn't want to have two of the same animations on the same page, so you get an edit.  Buttons are eeeeeasy.

Falling snow motion guide, FINALLY.  I HATE YOU SNOWFLAKES.

Now I have nothing against Top Hat, the owner of the hat.  This is my act of defiance against Patricia's supposed death, Patricia being the young girl.  Though I do understand the reason for which she was/will be/would be killed.  I say it like that because her fate isn't decided upon yet.

I love motion guide, motion guide, motion guide~

Okami Amaterasu



TWO IN ONE.
This project includes both the Fireworks Magic Wand Tool and the Ken Burns Effect all in one go.  Bottom line: I LOVE THE MAGIC WAND TOOL.  It works wonders.

Okami for the WIN.  I can't wait for the sequel. Aww, I forgot there was one more picture I wanted to add... oh well.

Darkness Lies Just Beneath the Surface



Link thought he defeated his evil counterpart in the Water Temple, but no one can exist without darkness.  Shadow Link lies within, waiting.

The pixels move a bit when the circle travel over them, but it's so slight that I don't mind it too much.  I LOVE this piece.  Masking does wonders for this kind of project.

Link, meet Fireworks



My patience with this piece is now NONEXISTANT.  BE DONE.  I would have made it pause on each frame a bit, BUT I'M TIRED OF IT.  NO MORE.

I used both Fireworks and Flash for this.  Lots of color burn and color dodge, along with painting with lowered alpha, and contrasting the colors.  It was alot of fun.  In the final picture the shading is acutally alot different from what it was in the beginning.

Invader Zim



EDIT2: Awhaha... Lame.  Now it's too big for the column.  xD
EDIT: Ahahaha!  Take that! I fixed the dimensions.  Now the pixels aren't all weird.

---

Stupid pixels, getting all weird in the transfer.  YOU WERE PERFECT BEFORE.  Whatever man.  I'm guessing it's from the height change to 400 from 640.  Oh well.  On the up side though, it's ZIIIIIIM.  Yeah Gir, you drink that chocolate bubblegum.

Just a simple application of Alpha and Classic Tween.  Once I got through the first half, I did the rest on my own.

Ball, use Bounce!



Ooooooold assignment.  I don't know why it never struck me to upload this.  :P

I never knew so many little things went into making a bouncing ball look real.  The shadow, moving the shadow, the sizing of the ball on different frames, the light reflection, and the tool that slows the ball down and speeds the ball up depending on whether it's going up or down.
