I suppose you could call this art... I was just learning how to use .gifs on The GIMP.

So it begins.
I may have some old .flcs lying around from the Animator Pro days.
Now, I know my Worms of Dune stop-action film is somewhere on one of my hard drives. I'll look into it.


Keep up the work.

wow, I like that, have no idea how you did it though.

Layers. Each frame is a layer. When you save it as a .gif you can choose "save as animation". In The Gimp you can change the animation in certain ways by renaming the layers.
layer1(replace)(100ms) replaces the last layer and stays for 100miliseconds before yielding to the next one.
Tip for Neo: Try using transparencies without (replace). Then you can change one part of the frame without redrawing or copying the whole thing.
Also: Right click>filters>animation>
Preview animation is useful.
Also Optimize Gif. Basically it makes the gif smaller by shrinking the frames to only what is necessary to change the previous frame.

Yeah I knew to do all that, but I was decided to create it the way I did anyway. I was tired, couldn't sleep so I decided to play around with it.

I just tried to bundle up everything that I wished I knew when I first learned.
