Minette might be up to something.....

OH GOD SHE POISONED THE DISH
 
Well, I'm glad to see Minette Force following in the footsteps of Annie.
 
for idle animation I always imagine something like platinum idle but you know instead of holding a giant wand (bubbleblower? heartstick?) it be a plate instead. You know not similar but like that to some degree

Pfft, next you'll be claiming that Annie put the 'ani' in animation.
 
You're saying as if she didn't.

YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

why didn't anyone come tag me in this

the hell guys

this is awesome sauce

@Stonechimes

This is really cool!
 
d'awww come on I'm a good soul when I feel like it.
 
This makes me happy and sad. Happy because fan animations are awesome. Sad because Scythana fans will never make one. We don't even have enough determination to get a shirt made.
 
OHHHH?!?!?!?!? an animation for Minette!!!?? Sweet I didn't think we'd be seeing one for a very long time from anyone X3
 
You know, Stonechimes showed up out of nowhere much like our very own Anniemator, Starmageddon.

Are they producing you guys out of a factory?

Just as a question to @Stonechimes , is there anymore of this you will be doing and if so is there anything we could do to help?

I'd like to know that too considering I'm making a Minette sprite sheet.

Honestly, I did this on a whim with some spare time on the weekend. Wouldn't mind doing a couple more animations though, if I can find the time for it.

Maybe something like a standing normal and a special. Feel free to toss ideas.

The fact did you did this on the weekend really impresses me. I made concept move list ages ago, if you want some ideas I can link that her is that fine with you @Stonechimes.
 
This is really great! Excited to see if you make some more!
 
When's Aeon-imation?

I'm honestly a little surprised no one's mentioned it yet, but the way her eyes dart about in her idle animation makes her look really suspicious. Kind of like she's a Minette imposter hoping no one notices the difference, or praying she's fooling someone into eating a poisoned dish.
Admittedly, she is looking in the wrong direction to complete the reference (Were she looking up and to her right, that would make it that much worse—supposedly, people look in this direction, if only unconsciously and by minute amounts, when they're telling a lie), but still.
 
lol, good point. I was going more for a idle/absentminded look, but it does look more like she's being sneaky about something. Gonna see if I can make it better.
 
>3>....that's a premonition of aeon being up to something if I ever saw one lol.
 
I should've known...

This was an Aeon animation all along.

Oh, come on, guys, I was jo—I WAS JOKING.

Better. My personal recommendation would be to slow down the glances, make them more controlled, but since no one else seems to agree with me, maybe my complaints are void.
 
Chaos all thoughts are welcomed and should be taken into account ya know.
 
My personal gripe with this is she feels kind of robotic. She kind of only does one thing at a time. Lean forward. Stop. Lean back. Stop. Tilt. Tilt back. Stop.
(Also, the tail and skirt flap too much for such minimal motions, but for the moment, let's look at timings.)

I did a very quick edit to what I feel flows a bit better. All I did was change the timing a bit and cut and paste some parts so the animation sections blend into each other better though. It's still clunky because I didn't alter any of the frames that would require actual work :P It's also probably running a bit fast now.

Unfortunately in my cutting and pasting I ended up removing a couple of frames where her tail does some follow through flapping (When she transitions from Standing on Toes to Leaning on Heels), which I would have moved to other frames if I didn't want to go to bed!

EDIT: Fortgot to mention that one major thing I did change was mostly removing the leaning forward section of Leaning on Heels because it looked super weird. When you do this rocking motion of Heel, Toe, Heel, Toe, you tend to rock back a bit when you fall onto your heels, not forward.I actually added one very minimal frame where she leans back a bit.

That does looks a lot better. I actually knew that the motion of her hair/tail was too exaggerated too, but redrawing that feels like work :P

I love this, very smooth. I feel it could be made it even smoother if there were a frame or two drawn into it.

Aye, but this isn't my thread so I didn't actually want to do any massive work on his baby! Watch her ankles to see how quick and dirty this was :P I didn't create anything new here, so that's all still Stonechimes' work.
This was just my take on how to clean up and smooth out the running speed a bit.

I'm looking forward to seeing that tray swipe attack up there that was teased~
