OLD THREAD ~ IGNORE ~ SEE http://endlessforest.org/community/moogie039s-animated-deer-open-commissions INSTEAD!



It's about time I made a proper thread for this, so here goes! (Read more for info & gallery). By the way, "Online/Offline" means when I'm broadcasting on Livestream, so if you see it 'Online', come stop by and say hello! Smiling


NEWS~ REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED (17th Jan)
Hi everyone Smiling

I wanted to make a note here that characters with very long hair will hitherto use the new 'walk' cycle, which I had originally planned to keep to my own.

The reason for this, is that to properly animate long hair billowing at a fast pace would be too complex. It would take far too long for me to draw correctly and would be unreasonably taxing to everyone's computers.

I gave more thought to this, and decided not to give people a choice of animation now that I have two to work from. If I were to give everyone that choice, I would also have to give all my past requestees that choice, and I'd potentially have to re-do old requests again with a different animation. This wouldn't be fair on everyone still waiting to get theirs done. Where possible, I will create all other requests using the 'run' animation as normal.

I'm also closing requests at this point. We're up to 3 pages of requests now, and I still have about 6 left to do on the first page! xD I'm not sure I will ever get all of these done, but I certainly have enough to keep me occupied for a long time already.

Thank you everyone for your patience while you wait, thank you for any giftart you've sent in return for these, thank you for your comments and encouragements, and thank you for understanding the decisions I have made above. Smiling

WHAT IS THIS?!
Having had a burst of inspiration out of wtf-nowhere lately, I ended up with a neat little running deer animation that I can easily customise (to an extent). So I'm taking requests for a while, but I have a couple of requests of you in return~


-Provide a picture or description of your deer.

-Currently I am only doing this one 'Running' animation, so please do not request a different pose at this time.
The animation is by far the most time-consuming process and doing that would take me days to complete each request! Domo arigatou. :3

-Please note that excessive detail may be difficult;
As I am creating these for free, I don't want to spend more than an hour or two on each one (unless I'm really having fun with it!) Eye

-Related to the above point, some artistic liberty may be exercised, but I'll try to stay as faithful to your design as possible.
Detail in certain areas may be hard to achieve due to all the bodypieces moving around, but I'll do my best. I may have to make some alterations though. Also, don't be suprised if little 'extras' find their way in occasionally, depending on what I've read about your character. Eye

-But having said this, if there's any unique features your deer has, don't be afraid to mention them!
I'll decide as I go whether I can manage it or not.

-ONE PER PERSON-
This is just so I can serve different people and not get burnt out doing 1 person's fifty-bajillion deer! Laughing out loud


-When using these in your signature, please be aware that smaller is better.
I would strongly suggest not exceeding the default size I give you, which is 315x240, on these boards. However, you are free to display this outside of the TEF community, and there you can increase the size to whatever you want!

USING YOUR NEW SIGNATURE
Add the following code to your sig:

{object width='315' height='240'}{embed src='YOUR_URL_HERE' width='315' height='240' wmode='transparent'/}{/object}

(Replace all { } with < > symbols when you copy it and replace YOUR_URL_HERE with the Url for your personal file-- also I would heartily recommend not exceeding this size, as large sigs can be rather annoying to some people. But it can be made smaller or bigger as you wish, and no detail will be lost.)



**A note regarding potential issues**
I am keenly aware that SWF files are inherantly more CPU-intensive than GIF files. The reason I went with SWF is because the GIFs weren't animating properly, and they had very bad issues with colour and transparency. So, I am going to be watching this very carefully to ensure it doesn't start causing people problems. Do note however that I have made every effort to optimize these animations so that they are lightweight and non-disruptive (they are barely 40kb each! Most gifs weigh in well over 100kb, sometimes even over 1mb!). Nevertheless, users with slow computers may notice a difference. Please let me know if it becomes unbearable and I will seek another alternative. Thank you~

Could you do Koi? <3 Quick ref so the anatomy is bad. <3 Feel free to shove all the fluff off if you wish. XD Feel free to halfass the antlers as well. His set is basically Devout Pelt -> Butterfly mask(but shown as that pisces sign in art) + Big White antlers.

Much love for all the

Much love for all the comments <3

Pegasicorn: Aw, that would be really nice, but I won't make a formal request out of it. Smiling But if you'd really like to, then I'd quite like to see my deer in a nice upright sitting pose, looking rather sage and wise with his heavily moss-covered antlers and rough grey pelt. That would be really nice. Smiling

MysteriousMalice: Technically

MysteriousMalice: Technically doing a picto-less version is fine, however, I'd prefer to keep them all relatable as a series. Plus I'd rather have their use limited to TEF-related postings if they get used in other places. Is there something in particular you had in mind?

Omigawsh, so many requests...

Omigawsh, so many requests... xD

I'm not complainin', keep them coming! But it's going to take a while to get through all these. Laughing out loud

Just wanted to say, if you enjoy these, consider donating a pound or two (or a few dollars, or whatever) to ToT. Smiling

I'm not asking any money for myself, but if anyone feels my works are worth money (You crazay Jesus! You crazay!!) then do support our favourite Forest retreat. :3

Alternatively (or additionally) there is another independant game company who could also make good use of your spare change. <3

Nightmare Artistic Liberties

Nightmare

Artistic Liberties welcome all the way :> I'm a complex person with my characters and I can't help it sadly D= References for how he actually look (RP wise) are at the bottom of the page, but it's welcome to do the simple TEF version with an extended fluffy tail and the mask more like it's part of his face rather than a mask *nods*

Edity Edit:

{X}
Updated Ref of him

Color Ref can pretty much be seen in my siggy, he's the giant blue bugger with the muscles showing on his legs ;p As far as the markings go on his face depending on what personality you pick they can be Red (Sweet Dream) or Black (Beautiful Nightmare)

Looks like I'm not browsing this site while I'm in the Forest anymore. If 3 of these running deer are in view at once, my browser goes to 56% CPU usage. |D
Probably for the best though. My Forest does run a bit better with it closed.

Oh, and I'll try to work on the pic of Moogie today. I might be tempted to stream it. We'll see.

Holy wuffa. These are totally blowing me away. You are absolutely epic doing these for everyone.

I cannot seem to resist asking for one myself. You never have to, but whenever you find the time, I would be so AMAZINGLY happy to have one of these masterworks done for myself. My deer is Flyra, everything about her should be in her bio (click the Flyraphant in my siggy. C:).
Thank you a whole lot in advance, and don't feel bad for if you perhaps don't find the time or the inspiration to do her. <33
I'm already enjoying the once you did so much! =D
