This is the Tails from the other post.




He'll be pointing to something with his other arm. This one doesn't have the moving mouth for the sake of looping the gif without having a ton of frames.

All but two of his body parts are static drawings tweened to create movement. His legs are not because of the way they bend. The left leg was drawn frame by frame from the first position to the second, those frames were used again when he goes back up, and then more frames were drawn from the first position to the third and then repeated on the way back. His right leg is the exact same animation as his left leg, but the symbol was reversed and skewed at certain frames to keep it in the proper place.

In a nutshell, for this gif the only thing I had to animate (draw frame by frame) was one leg, and not even the whole thing. Sure it's not perfect, but what is?

So there's no excuse, people. I don't wanna see any more flash animations with characters that have unmoving bodies and flapping mouths. And I'll try to practice what I preach.
