Pie Splat

Description

My first smooth animation! The end is a bit choppy when I drew it, and now that I look at it when it moves when its falling, it looked choppy since I only moved it 1 pixel. That's how I animate, pixel by pixel. I made the loop infinate, and I noticed after the splat covers the whole screen, it looked better when looped compared to my first animation (see below). God it's so damn slow.

For :iconsparklydest:'s EMTC February Circus contest.
Thanks to :iconxxtoongirlfanxx: for giving me inspiration even though she didn't say anything, we were just talking about my first choppy animation that I posted. I promised her a smooth animation, this was the best I could get it. I made it, but accidently misnamed one of my frames early on, and I needed an extra frame for the splat part. I messed up renaming from 17-52, and I had to delete all of those frames and restart the whole thing (well I actually didn't, but I'm kinda dumb).

The first animation was my Frozen in Time comic, and I made it in WMM (which is an unknown file in dA). I was gonna animate it in Iaza later (after the contest), but it has 84 frames, Iaza only accepts up to 52.

This is very nice. It is a little slow and when the emoticon is moved one pixel to the right too quickly causing a jerky or choppy movement.

The actual emoticon is nice though the size is not the 'traditional' size (15px x 15px). That's really up to preference but I believe it would look slightly better if the emoticon was regular size.

Your shading on the bar thingy is very nice, you have good depth.

I like the shape of the pie though maybe you could add some more shading. Same goes for the splat though I particularly like the animation on that.

I'd recommend using Unfreez Animator 2.0 and Paint.NET in the future but that's up to personal preference. Both programs are free.

I hope this wasn't too harsh and you find it useful. You are improving very fast, well done.
