speaking of 45-50 layers, i guess because of the upward movement of characters that gives another 18 layers!

and for the booby commercial, my eyes are finally crossed hehe joke",

suggestion for the boooby, just add a little amount of liquid so that it will look more bouncy",

Well, when I said 60 layers, I was talking about the .psd and not the .gif. Only about 22~30ish layers are in use by .gif.

Upward? It's all downwards. XD

Mhhhhhm. They just bounce endlessly.

Liqiud? I don't think I can do that. All I'm doing is taking a dynamic CG from the Neptunia games, recording it as it moves, and breaking the video clip up into frames, and then putting those frames together to make a sig.

Soon this workshop will be known for being very bouncy. Based on the names on them its getting quite popular on a different forum.

Quite!

Haha, yeah. And I tend to ignore people that annoy me there, so a few requests have been ignored.

yep im also onto your psd trying to figure out how many layers you used", im just confused how come you came up with 60 layers that suppose to be 22 or less layers with 22 frames.

try checking the gif file and see it will cheat your eyes even if you only click the 1st and 2nd frame",

liquid from your filter or just press CTRL+SHIFT+X.
how do you break your video clips?

But it isn't supposed to be 22 layers or less. If it were, I'm sure my userbars would turn out very minimalist.

First 47: 22 animated layers, 22 clipping masks on these, 3 background layers.
Last 16: 1 eclipse layer, 4 character reference layers (unchecked), 1 scan lines (unchecked) layer, 1 text reference layer (unchecked), 1 logo reference layer, 2 character layers (1 is unchecked), 1 border layer, and the remaining 5 are unchecked misc. layers that don't show up in the final piece. They're the main part of the template, basically.

Ah, liquify; I don't like using that filter because of how time taking it can be to get a good result.

I either open the video files (usually .mp4) in VirtualDub, select the needed segment and export the files as an image sequence, and then import them into CS5 as frames or I import the video file directly into CS5 as animated frames.

please tell me if the gif split and shrunken into lower quality and size because of my lousy isp. the userbar should be in 14kb.
back to my point, here, i rushed one user bar to proof what i'm saying", i only used 11 layers for the characters. just lazy to make it 18",

psd:

check carefully the psd file and see the big difference between our layering! my layering on this one is just simple. also, there are rows that contains upward movement",

and only good for highres images.

The gif is fine; the size is as it should be (14kb).

Uhm, I don't particularly care about the difference between our layering; there is no good or bad when it comes to layers. I just do what I'm comfortable with.

you're right but my way consumes less time",

New profile picture:



Getting the footage from the OP of the game was a right pain.

Edit:





I'll be using the first one ~

AS Spring Banner:



Gah, I spent the whole of today making it. I honestly can't remember the last time I made something that wasn't an avatar (static or animated) or an animated siggeh. Phew. Quite happy with how it turned out, though.

[PringlesXD]

I have a request.

Size: 100x100 and 90x90.
Character:Pururut.
Text: None.
Effect: Something... Pringles-y.

Sure. I'll get to it if I'm still alive by the 19th or the 20th of this month.

As for the effects. Yeah. That helps loads. Thanks.

You're welcome! :>

I thought it would be hard for you to pull off, but I knew you'd understand!
I'm just kidding. You can have your way with the effects. :3

[Randrak42]

Originally I wanted this

but it was too big for AS too :I

but if you could possibly make it AS safe I'd...I dunno...dry hump your leg out of sheer love?

[Ray]

4MB, huh. Well, I'll see what I can do..

[Ray]

Hm, I gave it a go, but I can't seem to get it below 400kb without either killing the size or the quality. As it is, I had to remove a lot of unnecessary layers, so the animation isn't as smooth, but it's nice enough. Would you rather I reduce the size, or the quality?

I'll give it another go after I wake up tomorrow.

I'd go with size then...
Hell, I'd be fine even if it were a bit smaller than your own.

Thanks again ^^

Alright, then.

Version 1:



Version 2:



Version 3 (avatar):



It's a very difficult image to work with as a sig because there's a lot of movement. Anyhoo, I hope at least one of the above 3 is to your liking. :<

[Randrak42]

Oh the Avatar looks the best, I'll just switch it up and make it the avy while the old one goes to the siggy

Thank you so much <3
We should discuss scheduling for leg dry humping.

Ah, okay. Glad you like it.

I forgot to post this:



I think it's the better of the two avatars.

And uhh, there's no need for that. xD
