Animating the dragon (slightly modified) that I drew in the other two demonstrations. A simple, rough walk cycle that could be polished.
Software: Flash 8, camtasia 4.
Music from newgrounds.com audio portal:
Aephion - Mother
medieval7 - Ode to the fallen
i2abbitz - I am who I am
Setu-firestorm - Make it rain

  • A better question than "is this a tutorial" is why the heck does this have so many views.

  • @Urthrun I'm in agreement. That I made stuff like 3 and a half years ago makes me feel ashamed nowadays.

    If I remade this today, I'd certainly be a lot more thorough.

  • did you draw the dragon in PhotoShop first and import it to flash?

  • @brickez Nope. I sketched it in Flash, I then did the lineart and symbols in Flash, and animated it in Flash. If I had drawn it in Photoshop and imported it into Flash, I'd have had to slice it into animatable form (take chunks and make them into symbols)

  • the program you use, camtasia 4, is it free or is it something you need to buy?

    lovely run =p

  • @Dracindo It's not free, but it has a 30-day trial.

  • it would look better if it slowed the fuck down

  • This is bad as a tutorial.

    You didn't explain anything!

    You just made us watch you do it for almost ten long and painful minutes.

    No that style of animation isn't that easy.

    P.S. The dragon wasn't all that good looking. It wasn't bad but WHERE WERE THE WINGS!

see all
