Phew this little picture took for ever to make so I really hope someone enjoys it. First I had to make somewhat near 60 picture frames in PaintShopPro, it was a real hassel just to keep track of every file and multiple layers within each frame. I then used Animation Shop 3 to combine each frame to an animated gif. Sadly the final version was so huge the Extranet didn’t want to allow it. Back to the drawing board I had to cut several frames and severely downsize those frames that would make up the final cut. That’s way it’s so tiny if you wondered.  

 

And if it’s to tiny to make out what it’s supposed to be I can tell you that it’s an animation of a space ship/fighter launching from it’s carrier spaceship.  

 

Made in PaintShopPro and animated in Animation Shop 3.  

 

Hope you like it since I had to spend an awful lot of time to complete it!

Whoo. I sympathize. I hate doing animations (tried it once with Flash) but I like looking at them. Nice job.

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "It’s the same thing for me!"

It reminds me of something from and old/retro video game. Something along the lines of 'space invaders'.

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Space invaders were a bit before my time but I know what you mean."

There just aren't enough animations on Elfwood. This one is great--I like the details you put into it!

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Thank you so much! I agree, Elfwood needs more animations, to bad they are so hard to keep small file sizes and pain taking long to finnish. "

I gave up on animations a long time ago. My brain is just not focused enough to keep everything straight! Congrats on creating this fun little gif. The lights changing from red to yellow to green remind me of the starting lights at a drag race and suits this zippy little ship very well.

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "That was what I was going for! Ready, Set, Go!"

Impressive! I like the fire very much.

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Thanks, I was afraid I had overdone it.."

gbf! lol i was confused because it was so small and then all the sudden it started to move!!!! that was so awesome!

:-) Leif Eriksson replies: "Glad you liked it. I had to resize it multiple times to meet the file size requirement for uploading it."
