Description Again, thanks to for the idea! She also provided the layout for the second shot so I could properly position the video ref.

Now available on Youtube!

This was so much easier to finish than I though it would be!!! Ahhhh! I am so relieved.
Critiques desired!! (Though please crit the Youtube clip, that one has been improved and is timed better for the most part.) I'd love to know how I can improve. I'm still a little rusty.
Made entirely in Gimp 2.6 (Youtube version assembled in Windows Movie Maker).

Aw...maybe give it a minute and see if it loads all the way?
I'm going to put a clip version on Youtube later, so maybe that will work better.

Wow, this is amazing!!! It's so skillfully animated!!

I was curious, what program did you use to make it?

Flurrin In reply to Cleopatrawolf [2013-03-28 15:59:43 +0000 UTC]

Thanks!!

I made this entirely using the GIMP. Someone gave me tips on how to animate in there and it was so much simpler than I thought!

Cleopatrawolf In reply to Flurrin [2013-03-28 17:35:46 +0000 UTC]

Wow!!! Really?!!! You used GIMP?!!!
That really is amazing, I've been using GIMP for a long time but I had no idea that it could make animations like that!
I'll have to check more into it and see what I can learn!!

Flurrin In reply to Cleopatrawolf [2013-03-28 18:56:13 +0000 UTC]

I know, neither did I! I've tried to animate with it before but my results were disappointing, to say the least...

has some great tips!

You should definitely try! I never thought I would have the patience for this, but it turns out I have more than I thought.
But please don't use such coarse language in comments...

Thank you C=

If I had to reach real deep to try and critique something I can't rightly judge anyway because I've never done it before.... I would just say the slip-down could be a little smoother. Not that I'd know where to start to do that. Though if I had to guess, I'd say maybe just drop the torso and hips at one constant rate and let the feet and legs worry about themselves? However squished or folded they get? And also maybe move his shoulder along with his hand in the second frame.
AND NOW I FEEL LIKE SOME DORK-TARD TRYING TO BASH YOUR BEAUTIFUL ARTS.

Oh gosh Flurrin.... oh gosh his little sobbing shudder that he does. ;.; And the tears. AND HIS HAND COMING OFF HIS FACE. My gosh, the shapes, and the speed just there.... are just perfect. And the hair spurting out from between his fingers.

It's all so beautifuuuu-huu-huu-huuuullll.

Hmm, yeah...Maybe I'll add a few 'tweens for the Youtube version!
But I asked for thiiiiiis

I WORKED HARD ON THE SOBBING SHUDDER. Cx
I made video refs for both of these and it was so awkward watching myself cry on camera while I sketched asdfdsdkfdg but I NOTICED A LOT the hair included. The hair almost turned out horrible. I had to fix so much with it.

Thank yewwwww

Beautifully done. (And thanks for the links to the FMA brotherhood music, I always write to FMA music and have been needing these.)

No problem. You should buy the soundtrack! I found it at a con for like 15 bucks!

Meh, I just used YouTube Downloader and converted the mp4's to mp3's. >

That would be illegal and frowned upon. It doesn't support the amazing person who composed the music in any way shape or form, it's just stealing, same as art theft.

ricken4003 In reply to Flurrin [2013-03-29 00:26:11 +0000 UTC]

But it's okay to watch it/use it free on You Tube? I guess I don't see the difference.

Flurrin In reply to ricken4003 [2013-03-29 02:33:15 +0000 UTC]

No, it's not okay to do that either, that's why Youtube tends to take those videos down. There is no difference. That's why there are licensing systems for public performance, for crying out loud.

ricken4003 In reply to Flurrin [2013-03-29 02:52:05 +0000 UTC]

If it's not okay to do that either, why did you include a link? You must use You Tube.

Look, I'm not spoiling for a fight, but you can't have it both ways. Either you eschew You Tube altogether, or you use it. Being online burns energy. The amount of energy consumed in transferring 1 mb of data while online is equal to the amount of energy in one charcoal briquette. I'd rather transfer the music to my mp3 player, which has a much smaller carbon footprint.

Because I needed an example? I would never post the music myself.

I don't even know where you're coming from with this xD I'm not picking a fight or anything, I'm just suggesting that if you come across the soundtrack at a con, you should BUY it instead of thinking "Oh, I have those files at home already."

You wouldn't like it if someone posted your artwork on dA, right? It's pretty much the same thing, for a different genre.

hmm, something gothic would do the trick as a soundtrack. I'll look at the MP3s on my computer.
