I agree that it looks better with Arawn standing there but he sticks out too much, what I mean is to me you can tell he's been dropped in, (ok weird when I looked down to Topic Review to study the sig more, Arawn isnt there.... New tab!) I really like the star though, you did better then me at animation.

For text suggestions, try Avalon

Hm, I'll see what I can do for that.

Am I supposed to understand what you're talking about here??

Your first try is far superior to my first try. I couldn't even show my first try. It was that bad.

For text suggestions, try Avalon

Or maybe "a man's home is his castle"?

[Endrance]

First attempt for this month just a rough draft still working alot more on it



C+C Greatly appreciated

[vandakiara]

@Endrance - well I like it but his right arm moving too is a bit awkward... on the other hand, I'm not really good at C&C about animations so it might be just me x.x

[Endrance]

Yeh i just noticed that i didnt even see it before thanks

Heres the version without the moving arm

[Frailty]

@vandakiara & ganbaru
v4?


removed the pyreflies and I kept the color style of v3
C&C?

[vandakiara]

@Frailty - ah now that looks better only... will it be like that in the end? with no border or text? it seems great as it is but it feels something is missing...

[ganbaru]

@Frality the best version so far, but adding a botder and a (small) text should improuve it
@ Endrance, not being a animator myself, I canMt really advice you on the animation but V2 seem better to me .
@LKK I would try to make fit more the guy on the picture, maybe by darkening it ?

2 others verion of my sig , both short, one with more color. C&C would be welcome.

I like the second one more but how can I say it?... it still seems too yellowish... and I don't think the disappearing name looks good... sorry x.x I feel the only thing I can do is criticizing ._.

I definitely like the color vers better but yeah some parts to appear to be a bit yellow, mostly just by her ear/hair. I do like the disappearing text though I dont know if you can crop her hair in the transparent area better, or maybe blend but it looks a little rough to me

I give you permission to pull Kina's hair anytime, anywhere.

And welcome to the hair pulling club.

This version is better. : D

The text placement feels a bit out of place though.

Hmmm... well, the animation looks like a very good add, but about the person in the lower right corner, I don't know, he jumps oit of the sig but I can't tell exactly why... maybe blending him a bit more with the bg would had a better efect.

Thanks, thankfully working on ver 2 was better since I had a pretty good idea of what I could cut to save on file size. I still have a headache though

Ok worked on the timing of the lightning and changed its position based on what LKK-Sensei said.

Ver 2


Ver 1 for comparison



Hmm need to make the sky darker...

Edit: urgh imageshack why do you hate me lately...

The concept is quite nice but the lightning isn't very good.
Maybe these will be of some help.

I like the new positioning much better. But I agree with escimo that the bolt itself could use some work. Maybe one with a few branching arms??

[LKK]

Version 3.

I worked on blending Arawn into the picture better and added text. Comments?

Spoiler for Version 2 for reference:

[vandakiara]

@LKK - that's much better - love the way the render blends with the bg now however I only noticed the text when you pointed it out... maybe it shouldn't blend so much...

[Terrestrial Dream]

I had real trouble making this AS safe as a result lost bunch of chunk on left and the right side. Anyhow any C&C? please?
