:COMMISSION:Bluenight-Animated icon for Bluehasia

"Hmph! What you want from me? leave me alone...".

:COMMISSION: Ryken - Animated icon RykenAaelgrin

"Swim with me?". Very playful Ryken is having very pleasant swim in seadragon lovely environment - sea with corals and reefs. ^^ Commission for :iconrykenaaelgrin: of dragoness named as Ryken, blue lovely sea dragon. Because of mane and water physics it took some time to make it. Mane movement under water always moves slowly and chaotically but also it needs to be looped to make animation smooth and seemingly infinite. This time mane was separated on three separate layers - head mane, neck mane and mane that is moving on background. It was fun but very challenging work, looping chaotically moving mane in a loop is a bit of nightmare to do, easier said than done. 101 Frames, Full version. Active movement requires alot of extra frames to make animation longer. final part seems a little bit hasty though Phisics of underwater mane is something to do. Rykie (c) RykenAaelgrin Animation made by me. Only Ryken can use this.

version 1.1 - corrected some pixel mistakes and shadow

Commission for Bluehasia of their nice photographer dragon Blue. were interesting to work over those movements and photocamera. ^^ 123 Frames(NEW RECORD for icons), Full version. Pretty big Background is simplistic, but seems very windy up in skies, isnt it? :3 Also big thanks for extra help financially in such hard times. ^^

"PLEASE! THROW ME THIS BALL!". Very playful dragon Lemon is very pleased that you thrown him a tennis ball. ^^ Commission for Bluehasia of his Lemon, yellow silly dragon with whiskers and dog like habbits. Lots of whiskers movement.;3 also changed the way im handling manes and whiskers, making them separate animation from body 88 Frames, Full version. Active movement requires alot of extra frames to make animation longer. Active movement is hard but fun as well. Phisics of whiskers hopefully is visible. Lemon (c) Bluehasia Animation (c) me.

Commission for Lyeox of furry dragon Zelic, being really happy and just  having good time. :) Just happily parting in forest trip, probably with friends, some music and new comer to he is happy and gives nice enjoyable smile.:D Fur and manes are concidered complex design and takes alot of processing, planning and frames. 75 Frames, Full version. 30 Frames, FA optimised... when developers will lift limits  of 55kb per icon??? Its really painful to butcher your own work so it could work there, killing big part of my own quality of work. Static forest background, fur movement and happiness. Zelic (c) Lyeox Animation (c) me.

Commission for DominikTheDrake from FA of his grey dragon. Sitting under heavy rain, enjoying every drop of it. Now i know that November and December is worst months ever on my regular job so I lost SO much of time with that work during last 4 months. Going out in 8 and coming back in 21 seems norm that part of a year. I wasnt able to work on anything and was constantly tired. I started making it with my older wacom tablet and finished with my new huion screen tablet(which is a blast by the way, getting used to it more and more and liking it too). One of the hardest works i did with animation so far. despite that its not the longest one, it has way too much details with background and effects, far more than character himself.Probably will rethink of taking such animation commissions in future, not until i will get used to new tablet that will surely increase productivity at least.But meanwhile it was great training with photoshop and powerful tablet. Was very interesting to make. There is around 7 paralax layers of clouds moving with different speed, all calculated to match and loop everything, 7 rain paralax layers with splashing tooaround 18 layers of moving water on ground Looping every part of the animation is really really hard, I think I will add it as extra hard option in pricelist next time if i will take similar level of work's difficulty. 89 Frames, Full version. 2-cycle animation. Rain and water effects drags all the layers in constant speed, increasing amount of frames even if character isnt moving. Rain, water effects and parallax clouds.Maybe clouds move a little bit too fast, was made that way to decrease amount of pattern clouds on layers to mach with loop... or else pattern would be more obvious on closer clouds.

The continuation of very late posting. XD

"Hmm? it's dangerous to go alone here... but i have a gun. where should I go? there! *turns invisible*" Commission for Bluehasia of his another cat sized dragon Tealate. Searching in depth of sewers and catacombs for clues or somebody sinister?  :) He cant be lost, it's easier for dragon with cat alike  senses to find way. Complex design and unusual muzzle structure. As usual its hard but fun to make.Also it's very small underground because tealate is small by himself. 74 Frames, Full version. Active movement requires alot of extra frames to make animation longer. It's fast animation but amount of smooth parts are same as everywhere. Distortion effect this time and shading. invisible tealate distorts background with his fast moving invisible body. Tealate (c) Bluehasia Animation (c) me. Only Bluehasia can use this.

Im slowpoke it seems with those pictures. need to visit tumblr more often. XD

Commission for Phil from FA of his purple anthro dragon Phil and his blue friend Myro. Just being very nice to each other. First joint icon commission after long time ago. 75 Frames, Full version. Mane animation took alot of frames again. I think I carried away and did a bit more than was expecting. Rubbing and good manners to friend. Making cute stuff is fun Phil (c) Phil_The_Dragon Myro (c) Myro Animation made by me. Only Phil and Myro from FA can use this.

:COMMISSION: 1OI - Raen Animated icon.

Very late post.

Commission for 1oi from FA of his fluffy anthro dragon Raen. Being content and winking to viewers. Alot of fluffy parts and mane. Not an easy target to animate. but I hope I nailed it good enough. 66 Frames, Full version. Lots of fluffy moving makes every icon with fluffy character longer and time consuming to make. Still they are probably the best to watch on.:) More learning of fast movement and better frame optimizations. :) and wink star.;3 Just wink star Character Raen (c) 1oi Animation (c) me. Only 1oi from FA can use this.

Commission for Akahito from FA of his dragon. Chilling on back under tree, leaning against tree and rock. Listening music and acting really nicely to viewers. What a lucky creature. Lick animation was harder than I thought. Not mentioning irl troubles that I have currently. 55 Frames, Full version. I wasn't able to resist for some of animation for background. though it's not very active so it's okay I hope. More learning of paralax  background. Reaction of background on lick was intentional to make "camera" to move upper because of tongue's friction. Character (c) Akahito Animation (c) me. Only Akahito can use this.

"Hmm? wha? pffft what a stupid joke.*rolls eyes*" Commission for bluehasia of his another dragon-cat-dog creature. :3 As usual thank you for extra... so I had to make it more lengthy. :) Complex design and unusual muzzle structure. But still Was fun to make. Also I think i overshot with amount of movement and amount of frames. so this is my thanks for extra payment.:) thank you very much. 79 Frames, Full version. Active movement requires alot of extra frames to make animation longer. same about moving background. Mostly because of it the amount of frames were increased. New paralax movement for clouds(two layers). wanted to try that before. Also same about camera movement around head.:3 Now I know new way to loop animations. :) Theriox (c) bluehasia Animation (c) me. Only Bluehasia can use this.

Commission for Xeshaire of their gryphon character - Lavilius with his scythe and lamp in hands. :) This wasn't easy but very interesting work. First animation with mobile light source - lamp. I hope movement isn't too fast. Also I didn't draw gryphons too much before. it was very valuable experience and I like it. 71 Frames, Full version. alot of character's idle frames because of moving background. so I made exclusion... for now. 31 Frames, FA optimized version. Unfortunatelly it's still hard to place more than 35 frames in one icon because of limitation 55kb. I wasn't able to save glowing and background movement. ;w; FA restrictions are really disapointing me. moving background doesn't allow for longer pauses of character making animation extremely 'laggy' and too big for limitation. Glowing creates too many extra colors also increasing size. So I made what I can to save at least both cycles of animation, even if they are a little bit 'lackier' and have bigger frame time.

Full Body commission for Sedyana of her nice sona, sleeping in deep forest. Thank you for your support.:) This is also something I never did before. Animated background, wind and light effects on pixel art. To be honest I didn't know how to evaluate and not to overestimate my own skills here. It took alot of time to make. 208 frames, didn't cut any colors(gif can hold only 255-256 colors). Amount of layers of Sedyana herself - head, ear, head mane, neck, neck mane, left/right front paws, body, left/right hind paws, body mane, tail, tail mane, tail tip. This is only 1 frame. Will not count background's layers. For base I took some cat stretching videos to learn how they do stretching. :3 So I tried to make it same as they do. It was one of the most complex animated pixelart. So, amount of time spent on it is huge. I didn't count but it took roughly around 60-70 hours to make. This is very long time. Also it's most expensive thing I did for somebody too. Thank you so much for your support. I really hope it was worth both wait and so much. I need to make some notes in Commission journal about pricing of backgrounds, to be honest I wasn't very confident about backgrounds, but thought that it might be interesting at least to try. yes, it's really nice to look at, but its also not very easy for me. I'm usually not very good with backgrounds. Also Im not sure if I didn't overdo it, especially with background. Sedyana (c) https://sedyana.deviantart.com Animated by me.

Happy VERY Late birthday and Happy New Year, Ruscsi This is very experimental animation. Unlike my previous animations, this one isn't pixelart and wasn't made in Photoshop. It's After Effects animation. I was learning alot during those holidays, while being constantly dragged somewhere into city to be guest, to celebrate and other stuff. Original size of it is 1980x1980, BUT im not going to make this mistake anymore... at least untill I will get more RAM. After Effects is huge, scary and always hugnry MONSTER, it eats my 10gb like it's nothing and STILL works very sloooooowwwww. Original amount of frames, converted in mov - 561frames... Bad Photoshop can't handle this amount, plus gif with such amount of frames gets ridiculously huge. lots of colors got butchered, also I was forced to decrese amount of colors even further, it was way too big in size. Also I had hard time making it gif. Im not sure what format I should use with those types of animations. GIF - has low amount of colors, huge size and stupid limitation in 500frames, so this animation lost almost half of frames of original animation and lots of colors... MOV - Middle size, okay quality, but limitted, not everybody have quicktime plugin, not every site can use it. MP4 and AVI - HUGE size, good quality, not all sites use them too. Maybe later I will try to upload something of better quality video format... though I dunno how yet. Can you advice anything? Also there is alot of troubles with transparent background. After Effect's puppet system has tendency to tear some parts of picture and leave micro parts and garbage pixels. plus white outline... So I used background colors of dA and FA versions to decrease this issue... I need time to find way to not get this stupid issues, sadly Im out of time, since I need to make commissions for my supporters, it might be essential for my life in future, so... Need to hurry. :) ahah. Maybe in future I will practice bone and puppet  animations of After Effects more in future, to get more skills and understanding how all this works. If I will ever live long enough till it. XD ;w; My life can get difficult this year. Anyway. I really hope you will like it and was worth of waiting. <3 С Запоздалым Днем Рождения и Новым Годом. :3 Как бы даже небольшая традиция, делать экспериментальные работы с твоей соной. В любом случае. Небыло просто. По первости разобраться с интерфейсом новой программы очень сложно а также очень слоупочно. Мог бы лучше наверное, если бы знал как сделать прозрачный фон без всякого мусора и белой вуали. Так что пока так. Цвет фона подобран дАшный.
