For the Elemental Creature design thingy

Pretty sure I'm dead now

Special Effects Assessment

There are other things I would have liked to animate for this assessment, but given the time I preferred not to start them at all, thus went for only two things, being a wolf shooting lasers and gathering energy from crystals after creating red lightnings out of a stomp.
The first shot does not work as a .gif due to the laser being a Movie clip (somehow Flash doesn't like playing it over unless it's a Graphic). The dust was not so difficult to draw either, though it took me some time to figure out how to make it work exactly.

While tricky to figure out the key positions of, Lightning is quite fun to animate and I really enjoyed the second shot, as simple as it may look.
So while these two weeks have been rather stressful for reasons other than schoolwork as well, it was still entertaining and interesting to go through.

Laser Wolf test

This is merely a test but I think it turned out pretty fine, and I do want to keep that idea! /o/
Will need to make it glow for the final thing (the laser that is)

First shot idea

First shot idea for the Two shots special effects assessment
It is a little confusing to plan since I have different ideas in mind, but I'm trying to see if I can find something I'll like in the end
This shot should have a minimum of two effects I think~

Inbetweening King

The king
The king of pain pls
My brain cannot handle it, though it reckons this was a good exercise and quite an extensive practice

Hybrid design

Basically a deer-necked pegasus with a human head ??
Would be wearing a deer skull on its face as a mask though, but I preferred not to go too far I:
Then again I might~

It was pretty difficult for me to even think of something, and at first it was going to be just a wizard crow of some sort, though it also change to a lady-bird fighter of a kind, also thought of trying a sea horse mix but I did not go far with it at all.
And in the end it became a deer-ish figure, and finally, the one we see in the first pictures~

Water Ripples

 Done over the weekend, but done!

Dust Cloud

I would probably add one last frame to reduce the size of the dust remains in frame 45 so it does not look like it just suddenly disappears, but I do not believe we are allowed to alter stuff I:

Smoke Film

It is time to rest in pieces @-@

Candle and Rain drops

Not sure why the yellow borders are showing on the candle, but oh well xD
