Description This is the arrow used in Windows 95's shortcuts.

Now this might not look like much, but the arrow is divided into sections, like an insect. The tail drags along smoothly.

To complete an animation, I have to convince myself that the animation is true mathematically and that the colour scheme is
correct. If you've seen my windows icon work, there are 7 blocks of color with 3 shades. 21 colors.

If I've even done anything free-hand, I've still kept myself to Photoshop's default color scheme. I hate drawing with brushes because I don't get tied by rules. I need to be constricted when creating.

I'm going to try to start animating my creations in more sections to make them more living. It's inspired by Cortex Command's engine.

(This Chippie could either be Root or Liquid-based, so it's either a kind of worm or fish.

This would work well as an loading animation.
