Antique art gear, the Nintendo DS

Here's an animated GIF I did last night on a Nintendo DSi with FlipNote Studio (free app), no idea where I was heading when I started, just explored some anime fantasies. To be continued...

Tonight I tried to figure out how a quadruped creature walks. It's funny how this seems like one of those common things, I can close my eyes and easily imagine a horse walking, running, noodling or whatever but animating a simple walk cycle is a whole different thing.

Also I found out about a japanese website called flipbook.in and did a few animations there. The funniest part is that you can reply to someone else's animation and edit it into a new version. I feel there is a great fun potential about this feature.

Endless headspin

So many discoveries lately. I just found out that PS is now animation friendly so I tried my hand at it and ended up with these 2 boogers. It's been way too long since I tried to do an animated GIF. The pacing is messed up and the volumes on the head are jaggy but I'm still happy with the result and spending hours figuring out how to do these with the animation features in PS didn't feel too bad. They'll bounce and spin forever now.

20% Wool / Wash separately

How could I have missed this pen pressure setting thing?
I just found out that you can actually set the tablet's pen sensitivity to get more elastic lines in the Wacom settings menu. So dumb. Well, I finally enjoy drawing/inking in PS.

Here's what happens when I pick up a women's fashion magazine for reference, it ends up nothing like it, and nudists pop up no matter what I was aiming for at first...
