NEWS~ REQUESTS ARE NOW CLOSED (17th Jan)
Hi everyone
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.
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!)
-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.
-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!
-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!
(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~
His name is Revtheyr~ This is his bio~
Keep in mind his eyes are pink, and not red. XD
The proper color of his eyes is the color of this text with darker pink for the pupil. :: Nod ::
He DOES have two antlers AND a horn. If that is impossible for you, please let me know and I will cancel my request~
Note: Said horn should be in the style of: this picture~
Also, he is a dancer. A flowing rainbow ribbon or silk scarf or something around his neck ... wouldn't be half bad.
Take artistic license! But he hates to be non-symmetrical. XD It's a little quirk.
It is also possible that he'd have bells around the ankles of his back legs.
BUT. If that's too much detail, please ignore it. XD
His pelt is the Realdeer pelt, with cream belly: Like this - including the darkening of the legs. :: nod nod ::
His antlers should - again - be styled after this picture~
Face is realdeer - also like that picture.
FFFF, I'd be crazy not to request one of these!
Uhhh... could you do Finn? The ref is a little outdated, but he wears the spotted real deer pelt, poppies, and skull mask. His pelt is a normal spotted real deer pelt with dark socks that run halfway up each leg, and his antlers are black. Oh, and here's the picto.
ack. I have envied these far too long. xDD I must request one now, but be sure to tell me if it's too complicated or anything waaa<3 you're so sweet for doing this.
I'd love if you could do Gabriel [picture courtesy of Pega <8D] you don't have to do the Knight's Cross/thing on his antler if it's too difficult. xD but yeah. that's the color of his pelt and antlers; his eyes are an unpleasant blue, the colors on his bandana go black, yellow and red, there's a swastika scar on his back left leg...yeah, a bit complicated. xD since he's facing to the left, the paint below his eyes would be black and red. it's okay to get rid of some stuff though @_@ like his tail doesn't have to be that long. I know it's a lot to ask for SORRY AH. I just could not resist.
As far as his face, you can have him either wearing a mask or it be his real face, I've had artworks of him drawn both ways so it's never been set in stone which he is. If the zombie antlers are too tough to do, please feel free to do the gazelle antlers instead. Anything you want to add is perfectly fine with me, i love surprises
Let me know if there's anything you'd like from me. I'd be glad to write you a short story or something in return.
I would love to request one myself, but I'm not sure about my characters... I mean my one, Malzak isn't a deer but a race I made that seems deer like.
Though if I was to request I think it would have to be for my Reggy... but he's an old fat guy so the running one wouldn't work with him, lol... but if you ever make a walking loop~
I would love one of these of my Rice, please, if possible! Her design is (hopefully) fairly easy - the brown pelt with spots on the rump and lighter belly, peacock antlers and skull-mask, and that's it. Nothing special added or anything.
Hi, Moogie I left the community .... but these are so beautiful that I would like to ask you (if you still take requests)....can you do one for Vala? This can be the same like Spyrre but with the handsmask (doe antlers or O.K. but red flowers are also good for me !! thx <<33
If you're looking for a challenge, feel free to do Rus Rou. His design is in his bio, it's a link to the art submistion I did. It should be in the concepts part. Anyway, it'll explain everything. ^^
HOLLY GUAKAMOLIE!!
These are amazing as EVER!
Ik you probly have a ton but could you do one of my Dehy? Her bio is in my sig- has a big picture of her with her set
hmm let me find a pic of her picto
ALSO: She has a dandelion dangling from one of her antlers- doesnt matter which one-.
I'll have to find a picture with her picto, Idk how to find the big one like so many other have
I feel horrible for asking because you have so many to do already, but could you do my Maia? If you have too many to do feel free to to turn me down. I'm also willing to do a trade if you'd like c: Her biography is in my signature.
Ah, wait, if you decide to do mine, do you mind making the mask as if it were a real deer's face? I mean, not flat but like in my signature? That would be awesome, hehe. Thank you!
gahhhh i can't resist anymore..... i'm sure your totally swamped but i have loadssssss of paitence if you decide to choose or do my deer later ^^
Well umm for starters~ My stag's name is Beau Arceneaux all you need to know about his design is found there and ummm if you do decide to do him can you make like his shadow following him? like it is shaped like him but with a creepy smile to it and if you draw his mouth open details in inside in the section to it and ummmm.....if anything just simplfy him to how you need ^^
Wow! That is beautiful! You did him perfectly by what I thought he'd look like. There is one small detail that I hope can be easily fixed...his picto is upside down. O..O
lmao ^^ Darn you MS Paint! XD
Thank you hun! It's perfect!
Ambrosius looks so smexy!
ummm...how do I save it? O..O
or do I just use the url you provided?
These are stunning, Moogie! You have a lot of talent. I hope it's not too late to request; I can't hold back any longer! If you can, could you do one of my deer? He looks like this. Kabuki antlers, magpie mask, nightfall pelt.
He has an affinity for fireflies. A couple fireflies actually reside in his trumpet-like antlers, so hopefully that addition isn't too tricky for you. If it is, don't bother with it! A few fireflies trailing behind him would be neat, but feel free to add what you'd like. I hope this isn't too much trouble!
I am in love with all of the animations you've done so far. Expect appreciation fan-art when I find the time! <3
MrsHalloween: Use the URL of your deer's file in the code I have written in the lower half of the post. Let me know if you need help.
Pegasicorn: Yes, he has moss growing on his back. :3 The bunnies like to nibble at it. He's quite an old fella and enjoys sitting under trees a lot of the time (probably where all the moss came from) but he's prone to having short bursts of playful energy, particularly when he runs across someone he recognises. And he especially loves fawns. :3
I really need to do a bio of him at some point. I never really intended to have a character that wasn't entirely 'me' but he seems to be developing his own personality regardless. x3
I was wondering if perhaps you were still taking requests? I didnt want to cause a burden on you but these are so lovely I just couldnt help but ask... may I have one? ^_^
I-I guess I'll just request then... and you can do it if you want. :]
If you could do my stag, Chenaniah, that would be awesome. There's a ref here though it's very old. Now I tend to draw him like this or this though now I've been trying out darker reds and browns, for a more woodsy look. |D
BUT HEY it really doesn't matter. You can draw the antlers, mask, and pelt any way you want.I experiment a lot with the Argus pelt so you can do whatever. Also you can do human or real deer face, whichever you prefer. The only things unique about his design is that he has greyblue eyes, and some thick curly/wavy fur around his neck and hooves.
Also I noticed the bird in Spyrre's animation, and was wondering if it wouldn't be too hard to put in this one? Chenaiah's whole theme is BIRDS so he's usually not seen without one or two riding in his antlers or flying along behind him. Usually sparrows, but whatever works for you.
THANKS SO MUCH if you can do this. And if not, well, I'm happy admiring all these beautiful animations anyway. <3
pfft dammit, her link broke in my comment...DX
edit:
you'll just have to get her in my sig then, since the link breaks everytime I change her status...
Oh my god! What do you use to make them??? I always wanted to make something like that but never known how and where!
Can you explain how and what to use?
If it is in Flash, I am give in... I can't work with it... don't know why. I not know any tip to use it.
Or maybe you can made one for me? When you'll open?

Wow these are amazing! I do love a good animation. I would request one but I cant take screen shots, I dont know how to get my picto, I have a slow computer, and my deer limps anyway. lol but cool animation!
