Which app is that actually?

@Bas It's Adobe Illustrator. The very program used by DHX/Top Draw to create FIM ponies. Also the program I used to my own Splashee poses.

Yes, Adobe Flash is the animation program, but you don't draw the ponies in that program. Flash is optimized to skip details to speed up animation, meaning you would lose lots of pony data if you drew the ponies in Flash.

Tagged Bas, because I wanted to :P

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Ok, so I've been messing around in Adobe Flash and I made this moving picture 

Frame by frame vectors made in Illustrator, assembled in Flash

Gotta thank YudhaiKeledai for guiding me

Note : this isnt finished yet

Edited May 25, 2020 by Kevin Tang
Fixed it

[Splashee 28,537]

Very impressive! I cannot do that. (I don't have Flash, or care for it)

 

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Background for the next project or should I say Manehattan kirins part 3

This is going to be a big one

[Splashee 28,537]

That's crazy! Is that inside a train car?

 

background art is so far away from ponies, in my opinion. It is so difficult to work on anything that is not closely related to what you want to do. What great inspiration it is to watch you work!

yeah!

and same (I've got Graphics gale when I need to try to animate cause its simple enough to get to grips with and does most things I want)

[Jesse Terrence 2,963]

My beloved flash, whose lifespan has been drastically shortened by adobe itself!

Oh, woe is the hero of those fun and entertaining webplayer games!

Also, That's some real quality stuff you got there, partner!

Looks really good!

Yes, inside a train car.

Im planning that the scenery outside the window will move, since this is probably going to be a short animation

But dont keep your hopes too high, Im still uncertain whether I can finish this or not

The background is supposed to be the friendship express, but I changed and tweaked some things, while maintaining key features

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Coco is a symbol, which can be moved around freely without breaking the animation inside

Something that I didnt implement on Cinder

[Splashee 28,537]

@Tacodidra

Look, she blinks!

Did had to draw or create keyframes for that?

Hmmm, I drew everything in Illustrator and assembled in Flash

So everything, including the individual frames for the blink

Im not going to mess with Flash's horrible vectoring tool, even YudhaiKeledai himself said it is not the most convenient

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

She is waving now

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Station

[Splashee 28,537]

Yay, bye bye Coco! See you next visit!

@Tacodidra where are you?

 

 

Good work @Kevin Tang!

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Looping background

The frames can be extended indefinitely, and the background will always continue

[Rikifive 23,486]

Whoa, awesome stuff! 

You've made a huge progress, it starts to be harder to believe, that you were using ms paint back then. 

From ms paint to animation, that escalated quickly.

Heh, Ms. Paint

Yeah, how fast time flies

[Tacodidra 59,792]

The animation looks fantastic! Wonderful to see Coco in motion again (it's been a while)!

Good luck with the project – based on what you've made so far, it should be awesome!

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Side project before I go back to Autumn and Cinder

I learnt how to do mouth movements today

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

So this side project is actually going to be a birthday present for a life long friend of mine

Aiming to finish this before June 24

Front legs animation is halfway done and the ears will be animated later

[Kevin Tang 2,422]

Some addition
