Description
This is the first time I have ever tried to make an animation!
Don't expect too much! 
I kinda like that feel when your art comes alive.
It has only 10 frames per second though. But it is 10 seconds long. So it has 100 frames
I heavily used copy and paste. So it's not like I drew every single frame from scratch. It took me roughly a week.
Also it's kinda big.

Well, for drawing I used Paint Tool SAI. It is a drawing program that people use to make normal drawings. I kept every single frame of the animation it its own layer. So I had 100 layers. But the program is not able to make animations. So I exported it as a PSD-file and imported it with GIMP. There I only needed to save it as a GIF and tell it to use each layer as a frame of the animation.

You did this so good. The sketchiness part of it makes it almost in realistic fashion.

Your style of drawing really does suit animation. It came out very nicely as a first (the sketchiness adds to it I think

Yeah, when it's sketchy, small inconsistencies do not have much weight in the full sequence. I also found out that animations are very forgiving on their own too.

Planning on anymore, or do you want me to just go away and leave you alone?

Duh, my english fails me.
I don't know what you mean. Or I just misunderstand something. Or I wrote something wrong that you could've misunderstood.

I was joking that you have only finished your first animation and I'm already asking "are there more?". I just thought that you would be thinking "I have just finished this one. Leave me alone! 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aah, now I get it XD
Here and there I make jokes like these too
Okay...
Actually I thought, that I could make some normal non flattening animations in the future for my other account. But they are going to be very short, have more frames and also get colored. You know, just some small silly stuff. They seem to be very popular.

Good thinking ^^ I suppose people like the novelty of animation nearly as much as anything.
And as rare as your TF art is, I think it's nice that it is rare (more of a treat when there's something new

Really nicely done! Congratulations on having such a smooth and fun animation on the first go. A lot of work, but well worth it, I'd say!
I might consider commissioning an animation from you, to make it worth your time.

Thanks
And I don't have much experience with animating. So I don't really know what I could ask for for an animation as commission. But I think we can think something up whenever you want me to make one.

Heh, pretty cool. I think the feeling of your characters makes a very nice transition from your stills and comics to your animations.

Pretty cool, man. Though I'm now interested to see you try this on a human now.
