By getting really creative, do you mean drawing?

No, drawing is something I really can't do. Plus I don't have a scanner. I was talking about lots of crazy cropping and resampling and trying camera tricks to get all the panels in there. I've kind of bitten off a lot here, but dang it this is a fantastic sequence and it deserves the work even if it's not ideal for an animation. Then maybe I'll go back and see what I can do with the RAN tg. I'm really hitting the limits of my tools here, though.

I'm still working on a new animation of [Hmmm!]'s sequence, and it's rapidly becoming the most ambitious thing I've ever done. I hope it turns out alright.
[Hmmm!], I've got one frame here which would be immensely improved if you could fill in the back rim of the well where I've erased the magic blast. I'd do it myself, but I can't draw for squat. Also, if you could redraw the eyes in said panel with a bored or disappointed expression, that will help the transition into this shot and establish the surprised face as a reaction to the explosion. If anyone else thinks they can do this sooner, please take a crack at it. And whoever works on it, please, please, do not crop, resize, resample, or convert the image to a lossy format. Oh, and one last thing- was this sequence inspired by a meme? Can anyone point me to it? |

Thanks Flango, but do you know who wrote the meme? I'm making credits for the end and I'd like as many names as I can for it.
Still banging away, to the neglect of most everything else. I'll post the finished raspberry sequence as a teaser. Good news! [Hmmm!]'s agreed to try and help with this. I managed a decent fill-in for the well, (below) but [Hmmm!] if you can improve on it, please do. [Hmmm!], here are some things that you could draw to help me with the animation, roughly in order of descending usefulness: 1. A new facial expresion for just before the well-explosion. (disappointed? annoyed?) Also, I think you were trying to indicate the flash of light in the way you shaded the character's hair- could you re-shade it for normal lighting to go with the new expression. 2. An establishing panel for the wishing well, to go at the beginning. (possibly with a visible 'wishing well' sign.) I framed the first three panels to cope with the lower resolution; if you could draw the new panel at about the same size that would keep the whole thing consistent. Some framed panels are attached to give you a size guidline. 3. Pairs of close up shots of face, breasts, and hips during the transformation. I think I could use up to six. I tried making some of these from the original comic but the resolution just wasn't good enough. I'll attach some attempts later to give you an idea what I'm talking about 4. One or two small panels indicating that the character has made a wish, waited a minute, and not gotten a response, to go between the coin-toss panel and the magic blast. Any of that that you can produce will be greatly appreciated. If you've got any questions please ask. Last edited by Very_Good_Karma; 11-06-2007 at 03:46 PM. |

I believe it was Sutibaru's TG meme, so the credit goes to him.

I know the forum software doesn't really like PNG but on my browser I can still see thumbnails and download the pictures fine. I'm using PNG because I want the working samples to be high enough quality to work with and still put back into the animation if someone sees something they can do with one. [Hmmm's!] scans are okay but they're not such high resolution that I can afford to lose color data to GIFs.
Again, anyone who works with these and hopes to produce something useful, please, please, do not resize, resample, or convert the image to a lossy format. JPG is a lossy format. GIF is not lossy but you will lose color data when converting High Color images to GIF. I converted [Hmmms!] JPG scans to PNG as soon as I started working with them; repeatedly editing and then saving JPGs is like making photocopies of photocopies. |

Right, so I went ahead and did what you asked on the well panel. I went ahead and saved it as a PNG since that's what you wanted. Let me know if I screwed up. Also, I'm using a new scanner now so I'm not sure how this will compare with the old scans. If you need me to rescan both pages of the sequence I can. I also don't remember what size I scanned everything originally so I may just have to scan it all again anyway if it doesn't match up.
I redrew the well here and there. It's not much, but hopefully it resembles something more of a cylindar now. I'll do those other things as time permits. . . . . . *thumbs up* |

Here is my days effort, Hmmm! would you be up for more of these?
I know it could use some work but its my first attempt at one of these. Last edited by genderhazard; 11-06-2007 at 08:09 PM. |
