I'm pretty sure this is the first ever, its drawn in housepets style and is my character in the RP forums walking, it shows a little of his chest and his head.

Click

I know it fails to other peoples stuff, but hey, its my second animation on flash ever.

Also, if you have any ideas, then please tell me, i would love to try and make them. But dont rely on me, i mean, i just started flash.

(Omg i just looked at the animation and noticed the background, it doesnt show up in the original, maybe because its fullscreen? :=()

We'll see what the others can come up with when they find this thread.
I personally do not know of a basic hosting service for flash files.

I love newgrounds, but the people on it say anything you upload sucks. I mean jeesh it was my first animation ever (And a pretty good one at that)


Btw, does anyone have a song, or a idea for me to make on flash? I love working with flash, and even thought i got it 2 days ago im halfway decent at it.

I mean, is the animation decent? I want peoples feedback on how I can improve the animations I make. I don't mind constructive criticism. But don't go " I hate it" that doesn't help me at all.

It is cute :D!
I don't really think anything is wrong, but you can add a lot to future attempts.
Try challenging yourself with a full body animation and possibly a moving background to go with it.

Also, are you using the trial of Flash CS4 Professional, or did you fork over the $300 for it?
College student discounts work wonders if you are looking to purchase it.

I definitely like it. It's really cute :D
The thing I notice most is the grey line that separates his headfur from his head. It stands out (since it's colored differently), but it doesn't look natural.

Other than that, I like the character. He's got good expression in the eyes, and it matches his posture. The mouth line doesn't extend all the way around the muzzle, but as it's in cartoon style it doesn't bother me that much (same for the sparse background and lack of shading ;) )

It's at that level where all parts move independently of the whole. This is technique that gets improved upon as your skills in animation grow.

Overall the look is very nice, and it has a great transition. I hope to see more of this. ^^

My mom owns a sign store, and she got her programs from adobe,
she bought creative suite 4 design premium, which is how i have flash cs4 and photoshop cs4.

I'll stick this on my Ipod Touch :D.
Oh wait, Apple doesn't believe in Flash.

For such a trendy company, they sure don't know what consumers actually want :|.

The web browser added flash at about 2x firmware. Netfront IIRC.

I never really even tried to get into the animation part of flash, I barely know how to use it(What I know the best is actionscript) It's kind of impressive. :P I don't know how to do this myself.
Also, what version of flash do you use/have? I use CS4(how I acquired it, do not ask) and plan on getting CS5 soon. :D
