I've made this little animation according to this story (translated from French) :

Valentine Sâhib is Indian by her blood. She was born on February 8, 1805 in the principality from Mysore. Her mother and her three sisters were murdered during an insurection by British officers. According to her memories, her father was one of the rare survivors. Kidnapped by the British army, she was sold at a house of joy of Southampton where she nourishes her feelings of revenge. For a few years, she has regularly received mysterious gifts coming from an unknown captain. Ingres Paintings, Gramophone and an amazing mobile lamp using static electricity. She secretly thinks that all these gifts could come from her father who would be Nemo.

Original text :
Valentine Sâhib est de sang indien. Elle est née le 8 février 1805 dans la principauté du Mysore. Sa mère et ses trois soeurs furent massacrées lors d'une insurection par des officers britannique. D'après ses souvenirs, son père fut un des rares survivants à ce meutre. Kidnappée par l'armée britannique, elle fut vendue à une maison de joie de Southampton où elle nourrit ses sentiments de vengeance. Depuis quelques années, elle reçoit régulièrement des cadeaux étranges venant d'un capitaine inconnu. Tableau d'Ingres, Gramophone et une lampe mobile à éléctricité statique pour le moins surprenantes. Elle songe que tous ces cadeaux pourraient venir de son père qui serait le capitaine Némo de la légende.


It's a 165x185 animated gif with 8 frames using a constant palette of 30 unique colors.

The thing is ... I don't really like the result, I spent quite a long time on it. It looks a bit too amateur. I don't know how I may improve it. I need some feedbacks and comments ...

-> Using alkaline url instead of deviantART ...

Deviant art doesn't let you do that. Here.


Looks pretty good. What's the circle thingy at the top? A lamp? I can't really tell what it is unless you told me, which you did.

I love it man! The light reflections are exelent! I wished the girl had a breathing animation though

I updated the animation ... I made her breathe (well I tried at least), I changed the light effect and I also tried to make her turn her head.

instead of moving the stomach, you should move the breasts up a bit
with the breaths.

The skin pallate is a little odd. Looks more red than tannish.

Well, thank you for all your critics and comments. I'm learning a lot doing this kind of short animations. I think I was a bit too enthousiast starting this one as it's quite complex ... It showed me how hard it is drawing human body and mouvement. I'll not update this animation for now and try something else.
