DAEDRIC FUN TIP:
Tag the damned artists. If you do not know the artist, attempt a quick image search before leaving the tag blank.

PlaceHolder: This is the exact same animation as my previous upload, except without the 'YOU DIED' splash.
Just in case that text violates the contest's rules.

Megamaxmax: @PlaceHolder: Yeah, cause it says on the thing "Remember, no text!" so even if it was the tail I think it still woulda broken the rules.
CoCoNO: REally nice, but im certain that the legs and the arms count as new assets, so this still breaks the contest rules

Megamaxmax: @CoCoNO: It's just the tail with a hand on the end. Still using the sprites given to him.
Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: Wait, somehow never noticed until now. You ANIMATED THE BACKGROUND! You maniac! =P
This one needs to step up his game for this competition.
PlaceHolder: @Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: When I saw this blessed contest, I knew that it was within my destiny and birthright to win myself a fabled cat poster.
I had to make the best use of these limited, yet purposeful assets to secure myself loot, glory, and swag. |

Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: Another contest entry, this time if FP...s. Mainly to see if I could, and it turned out kinda ok I think.
Armored-Struggle-Wagon: Elsweyrstein 3D.
StonedGrape: Awesome concept! Any plan to continue working on this?

BOBtheROSS: cool idea, I didn't realised till the 6th cycle that that they are supposed to be walls in the left and right XD
Ja_Jarsha_Rovandi: @StonedGrape: Nothing concrete, with the contest ending too soon. And I'd need an actual animation program to do anything really complex with it.
But maybe, just as normal fanart, eventually. |

Toryu-Mau: That expression, combined with the fact this is from tronn. We can only assume Katia is up to something naughty with that TK.

AMKitsune: @fate109: Create your animation and save it as an animated gif file (making sure that it's under 3.5 megabytes, as that's the upload size limit for this booru), then upload it using the 'upload' form which can be found near the top right hand corner of the main page of the booru. When uploading it (or afterwards if you forget), be sure to include "Long_gif_Contest" as a tag so that it can be easily grouped with the other submissions.
That's about it really. Happy animating!
Kazerad: @AMKitsune: If you can't get it under 3.5 just email it to me or something, and then I'll use SCIENCE to break upload rules.
fate109: Turns out I don't really know how to animate, nor do I know how to use photoshop, in the end I didnt even have my beggining sequence finished when I realised that gifs run at a much slower framerate than movies, and I had over 400 frames :'D, tried using adobe premier to increase framerate which kinda worked, but it would take way to long to finish and photoshop isn't good for animating.

Kazerad: @fate109: The special thing about gifs is that you can define how long each frame lasts! Pauses can last a long time, or quick animations can run fast.
fate109: @Kazerad: Yeah but in photoshop the least amount of time a frame can last is 0 seconds, but the maximum frame rate the gif plays at with that setting is only like 10 fps I think, and I need it to run somewhere between 15-24 or else it looks blocky :/. Maybe i'm just stust stupid though and don't know how to use photoshop, which could likely be the case lol.
AMKitsune: @fate109: Animating gifs in photoshop is a little strange because, as Kazerad said, they can have a variable frame-rate with some frames lasting longer than others if you wish (which can be excellent for keeping the file size down). The downside to this is that you have to define frame durations in seconds (or 'less than seconds' for quick frames). I'm not sure if you're aware, but if you click 'other' when choosing a frame duration, you can choose whatever duration you want. So, if you wanted to have your animation running at 24 frames per second, you'd just need to work out 1 (second) divided by 24 (frames) which gives you 0.0417 as your frame duration. For technical reasons, I'd strongly advise against ever using 0 for a frame duration as many programs will skip over these frames as fast as possible, effectively playing the animation at super speed.
fate109: Yeah, I think when everthing boils down to the bottom of the pot, and its all dried up and really caked on, and you know it's gunu be horrible to clean later, i'm just plain stupid. I uploaded a gif here: http://www.prequeladventure.com/fanartbooru/post/view/3266 apparently this is with "No Delay" or 0 seconds, and for those of you who really care I also uploaded a video here: http://www.mediafire.com/download/y38x4x6x0z3cup3/cut1.3gp which is apparently running at 15 fps, and I just used adobe premiere to achieve this, so yeah there's that. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe my photoshop is messed, which I will probably blame it on anyways cuz it makes me feel better :D. Knew I shouldn't have trusted that piratebay torrent.
fate109: It would have taken way too long for me to finish anyhow :P, but for those of you that tried to help thanks anyways!
itblobboy: @Kazerad: I assume "finish by the 28th of August" means we can upload it at any point during the 28th, but I'm wondering what time zone that's going to be decided by. The exact deadline may be significant to me given my current progress (fairly incomplete!), or probably not but I still want to know :P
... Hope my entry is well received! I haven't animated very much before (never with GraphicsGale) so I'm trying a lot to make it nice. All the learning is fun, but more like the kind of fun you have when you play Dwarf Fortress.
AMKitsune: @itblobboy:Kaz says "the very end of the last day in the last timezone". So as long as it's still the 28th of august somewhere in the world, you're still good to go.

Still, I had fun with it, so who really cares? XD
(those of you fluent in the language of interpretive dance will surely appreciate the intricate plot points and surprise twists in the story told here)

@THE-RAGING-OVERLORD: Thanks, but I'll let you in on a little secret... Most of this was animated by recording me franticly bouncing my mouse around the screen to make them hop around. The only but that I really 'manually' animated was the slight rotation as they move. I'm lazy and not ashamed to admit it
@Toryu-Mau: Thanks. For some reason, the more frames per second something has, the more hypnotic it gets. I was almost tempted to make this a 60 fps animation (as opposed to its current 30 fps), but that would have doubled the file size and not many programs have a good time playing back 60 fps gifs at the proper frame-rate, so it's probably best left as is.

I can imagine hearing amusing music in the background too.
