Sorry for my inactivity D: It's so busy at the moment, that I don't have any time to work on art stuff... .-. Or well, if I have it, I spend it on my possible cover, which will take a while to finish.
Until last night, cause I was in the mood for animating stuff. This took me about 2 hours. I've been wanting to make an animation for a while, with a story attached to it. I've been trying to make it several times (traditionally, with black silhouets), but I always gave up on it. Now I want to make it in flash, with a tablet XD So basically this is a flash and a tablet test at once :3 I finally start to understand how flash works, yay 8D
It's about 260 different frames so far .-. yes, I know... that's a lot. My favorite part is where Tala starts to howl :> The dragon will be Lady's Saphiro. I wonder if I'll ever get the motivation to ink all of this XD
this is far too choppy. there's no fluidity in the motion and the pauses/cuts are either to jarring or too static. you need to learn about how an object bounces or decelerates upon completed movement. the easiest way to convey this is simply draw over the final frame a motion in an additional keyframe and add 1 empty frame between them, showing to the audience that the movement had to slow down by the end. another thing you could definitely do is color in the frames so we don't have to stare at red lines constantly and guess what they represent.
as for the story (which seems to be absent) or concept, its fairly empty. there's no reason for the wolf. there's no reason for whatever water droplets fall on the ground/paw, and there's DEFINITELY no reason that he turns into a dragon. i'm really confused watching it because it screams pretense and vague ideas that have no focus, and even that is implied because i can't tell what goes on half of the time because of the incomplete art direction.
anyway, you need to improve drastically, or rather, you did need to improve. let's see what you've done since...
