Description
lol total suckage! <8DIf it doesn't work then Download.
EDIT: New description cause old one had outdated information and was bugging me. lol
WIP of a scene I was going to do for an animated advertisement for my novel Calestine Princess (which has nothing to do with wolves btw).
Here is the final scene:
[link]
However the ad has since been scrapped.
As well, the wolf is not an Earth wolf but rather a wolf from the world the story takes place in (so some anatomy differences are intended) however the wolf design has been altered so... I dunno what you consider this now.
This was done in Photoshop Elements 3.0 then uploaded to a trial version of CS3 Extended to animate.

wow! is photoshop really capable of this?

Not only Photoshop, but Photoshop Elements 3.0! One of the lower-grade photoshops. :]

Well i heard from a atleast 5 people that photoshop elements suck, so you must have quite some talent there!
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, indeed, a lot of people really don't like it. But as long as you know what you're doing, you can make ANY program good. Elements is a life-saver for me. I actually like it way more than the higher grades.

One last Question, Would you recomend it for a beginer animator? -sorry! I HAV 2 KNoWZ!-- lolz
π: 0 β©: 1
Ummm I would recommend it for people who are familiar with photoshop prior. Otherwise it would be just as new to you then as it would be to use any other program like Flash. Though I would suggest it if you'd like to make practice animations (like, say, short loop cycles) as the .gif function does wonders with it. For long projects, not so much.

hanks for your help! (and don't worry, i won't bother you anymore) BIG THANKIES!
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww it was no problem! No bother. xD
You're welcome!

wow ^_^ and you outline and colored it impressing
π: 0 β©: 1
<3 Thank you! It was quite a difficult task since it was the first time I ever did it but I'm glad at the turn out
π: 0 β©: 1
^_^ I see how many pictures did you paint?
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm... I used around 14 frames with around 28 layers at least, more or less, paiting over each one, though I copied several of the color layers and just fixed them to what was correct with each frame. <83
π: 0 β©: 1
^_^ aha doubled copies, yeah that makes alot of layers , it is easy to paint or draw on the wrong layer, then you have to start over again 
π: 0 β©: 1
Heck yeah! DX>
Luckily I have the ability to organize my layers so they don't get all that confusing. XD
π: 0 β©: 1
XD do you use group layers?
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I tried that once but it confused me XD
π: 0 β©: 1
^_^ I could tell you a tip, if you like to move your figure or what you are creting, you could take all the layers togerther in one group layer, then select the move tool or transform freedom. Something liek that, canΒ΄t rember
the point is, instead of taking one layer by one layer and move, the nose, the outlines, the color, the shading and whatever, you could collect them all in one group layer and move them once instead of "how many layers XXX number you have" ^_^
π: 0 β©: 1
ooh <8O that makes sense! I'll try that out sometime and see what happens! <83
π: 0 β©: 1
^_^ I have done it, it is great and you could rezsie the figure as well, just rember to hold down the shift button, to scale it perfect. ^^

Gawd, I love it! *w*
I just LOVE the way his ears move... ;w;
π: 0 β©: 1
<8D Really? Wow!
<33 I love his ears too. My favorite part I believe
π: 0 β©: 0
That is actually really awesome! I think it was pretty smooth, and all the frames look like they were drawn really well in relation to each other, great job <33
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww thanks! <83 Glad to here it moves pretty smooth. Hopefully my further animations will be just as smooth or smoother. Practice makes perfect I guess
π: 0 β©: 0
Hmmm.....You already mentioned all the stuff I was thinking of and I barely have any clue how a wolf howls (movement-wise).....IT NEEDS MORE PINK!
Meh, naw. I'm not a pink-tard. But the only things I can really think of is either boosting the FPS a bit or draw more inbetween frames cause it's tends to looks kinda like you animated on two's at some spots. Of course, being a common technique, it might as well stay that way.
Dis commercial thingy sounds pretty damned interesting...
π: 0 β©: 1
Pink?? Pink?? Pink ish blinding!! DD8>
Well, I hope I improved it by adding in more frames during the howl and moving the fur on the neck and legs (since I made it a bit windy to make it look interesting rather then just there) so I hope that seriously makes it look better.
... now I need to figure how the heck to make the bushes directly behind him sway in the wind XD They look so stupid right now.
I hope I get a chance to finish it before Christmas. I still have... 9 more scenes to do. Scene 2 is already lined out almost, just have to add a couple more frames, the coloring, shading, and BG. I'm going to try and just do the lining on all of them and put it together in the commercial as a preview before I completely finish it. I'm even storyboarding this thing which is something I've never done before. XD;

*wishes she possesed good animal-drawing skills*
I need to work on my claws badly for my charries like the Dark feeders.
What's the program you use? I'd like to try something like that!
π: 0 β©: 2
They only take practice, really. Animals are pretty easy to draw. Most species at least.
ooh, Dark Feeders? That sounds interesting. Claws are fun to draw <3
oh! Well, when you get Image Ready (which is a program you put together animations with) it should come in some sort of Photoshop Program, usually CS2 or CS3 but some below that carry it as well. Here's an excellent tutorial I used when I first started: [link]
Then of course you can use Macromedia Flash but I, personally, didn't like the way it worked as it was rather complicated. Though it did have nice effects in it.
<3 Good luck though if you do manage to try! OH! and I highly recommend trying out the 30-day trial [link] (just drop down the list and find "Photoshop CS3 Extended" as that's what I use)

Awight,

ohh.. *acctually read the rest of the comment*
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow! That's great. You're so good at drawing animals, and the animation is wonderful.
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww Thank you! <8D I've worked with drawing animals like.. my entire life so I guess that's why I'm decent at them. I still get off on anatomy though DX

Awesome! <8D No total suckage! 83
Sorry dumb comment.... My computer crashed last Friday night and I lost everything ;~; I have a lot of stuff to comment on
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww man! That's total crap! D8> Hope you can catch up on stuff!
oh, and thank yous <83
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks ^^ It is DX>
No prob <83
π: 0 β©: 0
That is COOL!
But I can't make any sort of animation, so I'm impressed by just about anyone who can make stuff cooler than my pitiful little GiF stuffs xD
π: 0 β©: 1
XDD It takes quite a bit of practice and tedious effort. If you aren't patient you'd never make it.
Aww, I bet you can make something totally awesome! I just know it! <8D
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't think I could, since it's GiF that I've got (and only a trial at that) and I'm not very good with making pictures and such on any sort of computer program.
π: 0 β©: 1
Aww! D8> But I bet if you practice you could do it! I have several tutorials to show you if you'd like to give it a shot. <83
π: 0 β©: 0
Whoa! Awesome Filly! I have yet to do that kind of animation! It's fairly smooth, and the coloring is clean! A good start!
π: 0 β©: 1
<33 Thankies! I can't wait to work on it more and show you the finished product once completed! <83
π: 0 β©: 0
Holy CRAP that was fantastic! 8D
Wooaaah....Cool stuff.
I'd be PO'D too. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
<8DDD OMGYAY!
You should see the completed scene! It's so dang pimp even if it's only 8 seconds long, when I added the sound clip it's like WHOAH!
Cha! Like, so totally not cool DX<
π: 0 β©: 1
Hey, that's a lot of pimp-acity in the world of frame-by-frame.
π: 0 β©: 1
<83 Pimp-acity? OMG YAAAAYS! <8D *glee*
π: 0 β©: 1
THAT'S GOING IN THE PIMPTIONARY. >8D
