Animated Gif's

I'll start this off by saying I'm very pleased with how ComicFury is working out for me. I've gained some more exposure for my comic and discovered some cool comics from other artists within the community. All in all it was a good move for me. I'm gonna make an effort to post five new comics every week, Monday to Friday.

Now if you noticed that pixel art grim reaper icon I've been using for the comic... You may wondering where I got that from... Well I made it. In the early 2000's I was into pixel art. I used to hang out on a spriters forum called Pixelation. It still exists but it's not how it was back then.

Anyway I had this whole set of Isometric sprites. (they were loosly based on Habbo Hotel sprites.) I had a website for them on Brinkster's free webspace, called 3Dwar. Unfortunately I lost them all. When I moved to Victoria I went without internet for about a year, and Brinkster deleted my accounts. :(

I should'a made backups... All that I have left of them are that grim reaper, and this little avatar here...


I was also making little b+w gif animations with a nifty little program called EZ toon. It was a Japanese gif animation program with handy onion skinning. The first version I used was all in Japanese and had few features. I couldn't understand any of the menus or anything so I had to figure it all out by trial and error. Eventually a newer version was released with more features and it was translated to English. (Joy!)

Like my sprites, most of my animations are lost for ever. I didn't really back much stuff up back then. I still have two animations from those days. DogKickBarFight was the first one I ever did with EZ toon...



The only other one I have from those days is this one called "Zombies Never Die"
