In this blog I’ll be reviewing my pixel animation tutorial from my UCA workshop!
To kick things off, I just wanted to say that I’m not very good at explaining myself in most situations, tutorials included... So at the start I was a tad worried it wouldn’t be up to scratch... However I soon learnt that by making the steps short and easy to follow would make the tutorial better, as well as adding a friendly tone to it!
From this tutorial I learned how to give a friendly tone to the steps, as well as how to make it easy to follow! However I found that writing out the steps and explaining them was quite difficult.
I enjoyed adding my own little bits and pieces into the tutorial, as well as drawing out the steps! It’s really nice for me to see others taking my advice and turning it into something beautiful!
Finally, for the next tutorial I do, I’ll probably try and add in more detail to the steps and maybe not have so many steps in there in the first place!

The funniest shit I've ever seen
We sharing anaesthetic stories?? I had to have dental surgery when i was in middle school.
According to my mom and sister the very first thing i did upon waking up was BOLT upright and proceed to try and shove my ENTIRE fist in my mouth as fast as possible.
I had to be physically stopped, and i proceeded to sob my eyes out for the next 20 minutes. Somehow, i didnt damage anything 🤣
sorry that imagery is so vivid i just..
?????LOL
Can't not reblog this shit

So today I made a pixel animation of a fox transforming into an Asian dragon!
The software I used was Adobe Photoshop and it took around 2 hours to make, during making this gif I learned that Photoshop was more than a photo editing software and how to make gifs bigger. I also used a Wacom tablet to draw the frames! I found it difficult at first as I never knew how to animate on photoshop as I’m more comfortable with a different program, but I got used to it quickly!
My inspiration behind it was Japanese mythology, especially the kitsune and it’s transformation powers! I have always been fascinated by Japan and its wonderful culture, so this was a perfect opportunity to let me show that through the wonderful medium of animation!
I have been animating for a while now and I’m always open to try new forms of it so being able to add another form of it under my belt was special. To me this is another step to becoming an animator for a big company or even starting my own!
I really enjoyed sketching out how this animation was going to look, sketching has always been my favorite part of animation and drawing in general because it’s the stage where mistakes don’t really matter and you can just go crazy with the start of your work! I also learned how to use the HSV adjustment tool to get the perfect shade of orange when the color wheel wasn’t good enough as well as how to make the lines come out smoother by tinkering with the brush settings.
However I found the coloring to be a real chore as every time I used the fill tool, pixels would flood outside of the lines and make the final product look really messy and sloppy, so I spent a fair amount of time cleaning that up just so the final product would look cleaner and smoother.
If I had a chance to revisit and redo this animation, I would probably make it longer and smoother, so someday I might remake this animation and it might not even be in a pixel format!
The one Louis emotion that matters:
Tag the OC that has a sentimental item they keep with them, bonus points for what it is and why they have it
what happens if you boil a vaporeon
it will die. do not do this.
Having Pokemon with high friendship be like:
"Pokemon turned back toward you and nodded in understanding!"
"Pokemon is in a bit of a pinch. It looks like it might cry..."
"Pokemon gathered all its energy to break through its paralysis so you wouldn't worry!"
"Pokemon healed its burn with its sheer determination so you wouldn't worry!"
"Pokemon toughed it out so you wouldn't feel sad!"
"Pokemon is remembering the first time it met you..."
these hurt so much...
How can something programmed feel so real, so passionate? God I love Pokemon.
Used to be a blog for UCA stuff, now I just kinda float around and occasionally post shit about my dumbass OCs.
