Description
I was disappointed that the previous dragon animation had to be so short. Even with optimal techniques, it is sometimes impossible to get an animation under 512K without losing too much quality.
The last Dragon animation I posted was 15 frames long. But looked close to full resolution.
This one is a "Toon" render effectively, but I got 85 frames out of the sacrifice. Enough to show the full range of movement I originally animated it to.
Hope everyone is having a stress free week!
Peace,

AAAAAARRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I REALLY LOVE YOUR ARTWORK!!!!
WOOOOOW! Thats great! Really fantastic! Grandios!
Very nice loop. What format do you use to put these animations up?
The format is an animated GIF. There are a few free GIF animation tools on the web. I use GifBuilder.
You've really brought him to life. I love those blinks!
Terrific solution to a big animation problem ! Love this great dragon very expressive and effective !
This cool. Very natural movement. I particularly like the eye blink.
THATS!!!!!!!!! COOOOOL!!!!
the movement is smoothand cool too .
I like this! Lots of motion, and it looks quite smooth! The eye blink is a nice touch too!
OMG ! Incredible work my friend and I know yet what says this dragon : "yum yum" ! Excellent, as always ! Good day :)
Really cool animation, the movements are really smooth, I like it :)
Well the movement is great even though you had to suck out the colour and textures to do it. GifBuilder eh? I'll have to give that a try for my own stuff...
Love the motion it gives his head weight. Very nice.
I love this ani, cool drawing .....!
Very smooth.
Very cool indeedy! Nice movement and effect!
Nice moves! This is a great example of maximal use of the half-meg file. You should not have to work so hard and sacrifice! Someday, I hope to upload video and audio material to renderosity to avoid the hassle.
Excellent Eric !!!
It's excellent work..totally cool!!
Most life like action Eric! Bravo!
Man!!! This is extraordinary, I'm speechless!! Why don't you upload this in full resolution render to Youtube? Excellent animation, and the toon render is fabulous!!!
I agree with Jock. The animation is really smooth. Your ability to do these little animations is marvelous indeed.
Terrific. Very lifelike motions. Well, I've never seen a dinosaur, but you know what I mean. I am constantly amazed at how much you squeeze into the file under the limit.
Cool animation, one thing slightly disturbs though, the spikes on the dragons back dont move a bit. It would be likely they would tremble with skin movement
This is a great animation despite the loss of detail.
Terrific animation!
Great Work!
Very nice animation! You're getting really good at this!
Very, very realistic motion. Reminds me of the cool dragons in the movies.
