[Animaton] Alterations Added (last mod: 9/11/08)

[Mascarpone]

I've only done that Borat thing twice. Lmao...  :shades:

Right. Some actual critique. These animations are really good. Some of them look good enough to be in commercial games in fact, and if you did this stuff completely from scratch I'm amazed. The various buffs in particular look great.

The only one that I'm not digging is the Tornado one. The animation seems slightly choppier than the others and theres too much brown imo.

I'll go with you on the tornado thing but only partially. I do need to point out that i do have to work in a very confined space with these and it's difficult to make an elaborate wind in a 196x196 area. I could make multiple layers of the animation but the file sizes when they are actual animation sheets in RMXP are already huge as-is. adding overlay-layers to them makes them absolutely massive. You'll notice my RTP package is something like 70+ megabytes?

I took some of your Suggestions into account (as well as my own opinions) and changed some of them. whatcha think.

 

[Skie Fortress]

The changes are much better in my opinion. I don't have anything else to add to what's up so far.

i LOVE the new ice one. the fire one doesn't give off a fire impression though...

Your new ones are much improved over the old ones. "Megavolt" the Red Arcane Magic of Lightning and "Hail" the Blue Arcane Magic of Ice.

I like how "Inferno" the Red Arcane Magic of Fire is much more active right off the start now.

and although I like the green better in "Twister" the Green Arcane Magic of Wind. I still think this is a little boring. I think a shape like

Not sure exactly how much more work that is, so it's just a suggestion.

I really like the Holy magic one, it makes my brain explode and then reconstruct itself.

a.) u don't have to quote the full title, that's silly.

b.) i don't want them to touch the edges of the frames so keep in mind that i'm working that way.

 

[Mimi Chan]

can we use the old one then? *wink*

 

[Mascarpone]

Next question?

 

[Skie Fortress]

Heh, is this all the magic in the game? I assume not. There won't be much to say till the next batch to review I suppose.

Aww you guys leave him alone about the begging for his resources. He submited a HUGE amount of stuff free before. Go use that. They are the same quaility as these. It's not like he hasn't shared at all. sheesh :p

And yeah they were all swrily spheres before. I like your new lighting one a lot. And the buffer spells are simple yet pretty. My complaint though it still with the tornado. Try to make a bit more thinner like the example pictures in this thread and have it rock back and forth that way instead of just swirl. If it's thinner you have more room so you won't have to hit the edge so much. I think it would benifit you a lot.

Please note that these are fore my own personal use and i would really appreciate it if you do not disassemble them and try to use them in your own projects.

Plus this new gif animator I'm working with Tags them anyways so that would be more difficult to do than before.

Hardly, sir, hardly. Such a watermark barely slows progress. One simple crop and resize filter for all the frames at once. Now a six minute job, rather than five minutes. :tongue2: Don'tcha just love Imagereadys power?

But don't worry, since you asked nicely, I won't. But just felt the need to point it out. It was only done before because you took a rather long time making releases before anyways.

So I whipped up some of the effects for spells (I started big and worked my way down, flashy stuff is more fun) and Came up with a few of the Arcane (Highest Tier) spells and some buffing magic.

Anyhow, they are good, possibly some of your best work yet. The buffs are especially cool looking. I agree with the speed one needing a symbol in it to match the others, though...

Updated: Fixed arcanes again and added more buffs. Fixed speed up a bit.
