Name: Calorphis

Monster Type: Marine Mollusc/Sea Monster

A creature I created about a few monthes ago. It's a sort of sea monster I made. It's a big shuriken-shaped shell with four smaller ones rotating around it, which protect it and keep it company. It has its own ability to control gravity to move through the water.

The only real problems with this animation is that his eye has that stupid little static effect.

There are other animations of Calorphis I made but their backgrounds aren't transparent, and I don't know if Pixel Joint is going to allow them on here. It wouldn't probably be much of a good idea anyway in the case that having the animation's background opaque isn't a very good feature. The animations also aren't as fluid, and go much faster than this. For the GIFs I created in the past for this, the shells spinning had their frames cut in half because I was lazy with animating it. This animation took eight frames to create, but before, my typical frame number for the shells was simply four and that was it.

The only good thing is that my earlier animations show Calorphis doing other things, such as using electrical attacks (yes I wanted to give it that) and using what I call "hyper mode".

 Cool monster, quite imaginative.

I have three other animations of Calorphis, but they aren't the most fluid, and they all have a black background, which wouldn't exactly agree with Pixel Joint's rules if I remember correctly. However they do show it doing things other than its shells spinning.

Nice and fluid, and good pixelling too. I think the centre is too static though, how about some blinking? :)
