Hey,

Thought I'd put this up:

Done in AS Pro.

Drew all the stuff in Photoshop then used the 'Export Layers to Anime Studio' script to make importing the .PNG's into AS painless. What a great script. No need to resize layers again either.

Then I animated 'em. No bones. I used to love the concept of bones on PNG's, and it CAN work, but I tend to just cut up the legs and arms and use layer rotation now. I think I also got frustrated with how bones slowed down MOHO's operation...maybe AS has streamlined it more, but bones would make my system drag. Also, when the bones 'bend' a raster graphic, the inside of the bend can sometimes create a little negative circular area that looks kind of weird. I used bones with vectors for my HAPPY LAND creatures though and that worked very well because it was just one vector line with a stroke and no fill shapes.

Nice one Mikdog
Like how the music line ends with accident sound, hehe.
The method you used to draw and animate is interesting. I'm not sure about using these scripts. . I have to check it again. See ya.
