Its been awhile since I did an animation all the way through, reason being XP's paint doesn't have that great of a .GIF compressor, and it was a battle between using a "strait to animator" technique that was fast and didn't fumble with the colors, but placed random dots everywhere. The other option was saving each frame separately as a .GIF and letting Paint's compressor "alter the colors to their nearest neighbor", which sometimes meant turning blues to green and yellows to white.


Finally getting off of my butt and learning a stronger image program like everyone keeps telling me, I've started dipping my toes into FireWorks, but instead of abandoning paint (which has grown on me tightly) I've been screwing around with ways to using both to my advantage.

By the way, yes, I know one of the positions of his leg (Frame 4 to be exact) is a little off, and the circle join at his waist is a little "spastic".
