I wanna Anime footer too!

[kidd32]

Akane:
i like your girl in your footer very much ^__^
do u mind tell me u use flash to draw it or other software ?
illustrator ?
and is that need to scan the hand draw picture into the computer and the draw over it ?
sorry for so many question i have = )
thx

[Akane]

don't be sorry this forum is made for such questions !

well, i first did a sketch on paper
here it is :
http://mizuno.ctw.cc/forsteve.jpg

then i scan it, import into flash, and redraw it in flash. a layer for the jpg, another to draw with line tooms. I use a wacom tablet (but i use lines and not pencil tool), but i could have done it with the mouse
then i do different keyframes for the hair

at the end, i got 3 layers. 1 for the background hair, one for the head and body, and then the last layer for the foreground hair.

i'll put the source on my server tomorrow if you want !

[Akane]

hey Mark : do you want a male or female caracter ? =), and what about the background color !

[kidd32]

thanks a lot = )
i know how to do now
but i find that when i draw it in the flash
and i choice 0.5 for the line.
Yet, when i change the size for the drawing into small one
just like your blue hair girl
the line will be not clear...= (
so your blue one is also draw in the same way ?
the line is can be so thin in your one = )
thx

[Akane]

well, i prefer the "H" size for the lines. this way, you always can see it even if you zoom in and out

for my footer : i did not same way. I drawed evrything on aper, scan, and use the "trace bitmap" options. It's nicer than lines, but so huge :/

now i prefer to use the lines

ie : Steve's footer, the girl is 3 Kb huge using the line tool.

I want a male, top dog sort of character, super hero style!
With some wicked superpower!

I need the Flash kit logo effect (use steves fla - its a variation of mine!) and my name and email, thats it!

Background, prolly a yellow or blue, animated is fine... soo excited!

[Akane]

hehe ok =))

i just don't really know what "top dog" means, but i think i understand what you want. it's 3.40 am here so i'll go to bed soon. i'll start it tomorrow evening =)

[kidd32]

Akane:
thx a lot
i will try one soon = )
but the last question is for the eye....
just draw 2 picture to anime it or use moving shape ?

[Akane]

haa
for the eyes : i created a movieclip. I redraw 3 keyframes for the eyes, no shape tweening. The eye blink in a random way, with a little actionscript

[kidd32]

thx for your help and good night =- )
