So I'm going to try and enter the challenge this week.

I'm changing lady Liberty here into a fighting machine.



What's going to happen is her torch is going to change into a fireball, her arm's going to pull back for a launch and her concrete slab is going to change into some clips. :D

Right now I'm working on the arm movement... but I'm not sure I'm doing it right AT ALL. I made a go of it and slowed down the animaton



Now... to me it just looks like her arm is just shrinking. Maybe it's because of the lack of shading? Or is it because I suck. XD I'm thinking maybe I should move the foot on the left.

heeelp. :P

EDIT: Thanks to Frankie's suggestions, I've improved on my arm movement.



Now with the missile change:

And now with robe movement:

Thoughts?

At this point there isn't too much to say, but when the arm is blue it looks longer than when it's black or red. Good luck with this piece.

This is a cool idea. If I were you I'd probably think about doing the key frames of the whole animation first and then do the in-betweens.

Something's wrong with me. Every time I shade this, it sucks terribly.



BAAAAHHH.

PWNED. Thanks :D

EDIT:

yesss. :D

EDIT EDIT:

First frame, down. :D

Alright, I've shaded all the frames:

EDIT:

And now with flame and transparency



P.S. If anyone knows how to make the pink transparent, let me know. :P

The body is transforming into a tank-like figure. The concrete slab is transforming into a missile. And a fireball is forming in the hand. Also, subtly the face looks meaner and the points in the crown turn into guns.
