Yeah, it's also why I can't: I'm too impatient T_T I can't work on a drawing more than... 1 hour ^^'

You folks had best be careful, my ego will get so big I'll fall over, hah!

I do think that the Animorphs smilies are better than anything I've ever done, because it takes a particular mindset to make a smiley. Firstly, you've got to be able to create a recognisable image with like, only about 20 pixels or something, which is really dead hard. And then you've got to repeat the same action, over and over and over again just changing the image a leetle bit so that it resembles an animation. It must take ages to make each individual frame. I know for sure I couldn't make those smilies, and they are also possibly my most favourite bit of Animorphs fanart I've ever seen.

Not true.  I've tried to do large images on MS paint before, and that's what's hard.  Making a recognizeable image with only a few pixels is sooo much easier than you think, simply because the human brain has such a strong tendency to 'fill in the gaps.'  Meaning that you can draw something that is really not detailed at all, and people will think it's really detailed, because their brains just can't figure out that it's actually not.

And then you've got to repeat the same action, over and over and over again just changing the image a leetle bit so that it resembles an animation. It must take ages to make each individual frame.

And that is what copy and paste is for.  ;D

Don't get me wrong.  I am honored that you think so highly of me.  I just think that, if you knew the truth about how I do what I do, you'd feel rather silly.

Haha, this is kind of amusing, we both think that what we do is easy and what the other person does is really hard. Shows a lot about the differences between brains, I reckon. Either way, we got the Animorphs fanart both big and small covered

Lol, yeah, good point.  We should probably just agree to disagree.

Aw cool, I like those, I like the seal best, I recognised her. She has something of mine..

I can't choose! Well okay maybe if forced, I actually think that the Yeerk smiley is my favourite. Because it's the most simple and you can't tell it's moving at first and for some insane reason I find the idea of a tiny doom slug going sqllch sqllch sqllch along the ground really really funny. I need help

I found this, it's not Animorphs related but it's, ah, a blue thing that doesn't understand humans? It's Kimahri Ronso from FFX. This one took me so long it starts to go funny at the end. If you can stomach watching the whole thing you're very brave

I unearthed a few more things on the ol' comp

I drew this on paper ages ago, and ruined it when I coloured it in. I took a snap first though, but couldn't colour it on the computer either. I've always wanted to see it finished, so if anyone wants to colour it, please do so!





Did this when I was testing out my new tablet. Visseeeeeeeee
