[Flagryl]

16 July, 2021




1. Use the provided WordArt or create your own [using the same words] to create a tag, snag, banner or forum set for yourself or a friend.

"You don't have to be Perfect to be Amazing"



2. Use a tube, scrapkit and/or photo and credit appropriately.

3. Animate. And tell us what you did.






I used under water refractive effect in AS on the chain and noise on the deco. For the owl, I used the push tool on the mouth, tummy and wings. I also used Joy's ALST flame.

Thank you Flagryl for this challenge. A great quote. Mine is a snag. I've taken an age to do it...doddering like an old woman!! Yours is adorable. Just some Underwater on the tassel and the chick's wings for mine.

[Flagryl]

Thanks Arbee, I have it saved. Silk, what a perfect image. You never dodder you just take your time for your well designed tags. Thanks for the snag!

So we have our resident "flasher" HA HA, but as usually very speedy is fixing anything amiss

I have this on my workspace, and I have been trying to find the right image to use (in my mind)
That is really cute SIlk

I always seem to forget to say what I did.
Probably because I forgot half of what I did do.
First this is not a tube, it is a full image, it’s one of those monochrome images that artist do that if you put a colored layer under them and change the blend, sometime to multiply and sometimes to luminescence you will get a different look. That is what I did with this one.
Because it was not a tube but a full image the idea is to select certain areas to animate.
First I tubed out that “hat” and did the underwater movement on it.
Next was the bottle cap, which also is underwater but the reflection type.
The belly was PSP-punch and the jacket was PSP-noise.
He was holding a match stick and at first I was trying to do something with noise or sparkles, so I looked in my treasure chest of premade animations. I found a four layers sparkle by RaeSparklerTrans, but it was on a black background. So in AS I did the color replacemenet and changed that to transparent. Resized so it just fit on the tip of the matchstick. Whala!
But I was still missing something. Any other movemnet you really have to be careful doing because remember you are not working on a tube, You have to be careful what you select so as not to inadvertently move something else. The feet were pretty easy since they sort of were separated. So I copied and pasted all the layers from AS- to PSP to work on this. There were 18 layers so I just moved a foot a wee bit here and some there, with the warp brush.
to move the “want” I actually made a selection large around the area, careful not to touch anything other that a small part of his arm and a lot of empty space. Using a large diameter on the warp brush, move that a wee bit also. Using a large diamater will keep the section of the arm in movement with the tip of the wand.

well I think that is about it, and you probably got more than you bargained for on this one LOL

Thanks for the explanation, I understand working on the full image. Gotta be careful. Nice job, thanks for going to all this work!

I think Fotki may be down, I can't get in and can't see images above. I hope this works. Now that Fotki is up, I changed to the Fotki links so the set shows.

I made you this set Flagryl. I hope you like it.

As for what I did... Hmmm... I altered the Word Art.  I bought some supplies (some people will actually gasp on reading that.)  Then I removed swans from the background (you can see them in the av) in PSP with rudimentary tube making skills like erase and background erase.  (Because I was resetting them onto blue sky that "cheat" level of tubing was sufficient.) I turned them into a flying bird using hand placement in each frame of ani shop.  I used the clouds as reference and tried to simulate the up and down action of birds in flight.  I realize that they are flying too fast for swans; but I allowed that for this level of tag.  For an auction tag (for instance,) I would possibly have "stalled" them in each position for an extra frame and/or altered them (with the push tool?) to create two new birds that were slightly different to slow down the flight. Anyway; also in AS, I put a gentle underwater effect (you might miss it) on the big bloom and added bling sparkles below both blossoms (resized on the smaller). I made the bear blink twice in PSP (exported frames from AS). Finally; I spent quite a bit of time in PSP hand altering the mouse and getting the movement timing to mimic something that was acceptably conversational. Saved as a separate Ani; I opened it in AS and layered it on as a last step before saving as a blank mng. Pretty simple stuff really, but fiddly - which means time. 7 hours?  Maybe more. It was fun!


Sorry I could only attach the avatar as anything over 1 mb will not attach
but clicking on the PB links works just fine

Great tag!

Oh my word, I love Ken Morton, that is fantastic Milyn so very wonderful to see you back. Thank you so much!
