Ok, just because we don't have enough yet: (and we really really need a Sherlock)

Finally got round to animating one of Pieces' squidlings.  Only a basic animation, but if you guys like it, I'll do the other colours when I get a monemt.

Nice. Could you do the singing one too? With floating notes

OK, no promises on delivery time, but.

Looks good but I cannot take credit for the squidlings.

Nice comeback. Your plans for world domination, helped by your army of animated squidlings, is coming to fruition.

Oy! My squidling moves!

As Pieces said she's innocent I made the little critters.
This one is lovely!

Apologies for my mistake.  

It's been so long since I promised to have a go at animating them, I forgot who I promised it to!

Also thank you for the compliment, I will be attempting the others as time allows.  Originally I had thought that the squidlings were all the same, just different colours, but upon further investigation I notice that their colouration is quite different in the way the shading is done.  Thus I will be doing each one separately, rather than just doing a colour replace type edit for each one.  More time consuming but I think the results will be better.  Also, I will animate each one slightly different, so they do not all move in sync as would have been the case.  As for the musical ones, I am still thinking about how to animate the music.  Do you think I should make the notes sort of float up and out of shot, or would it be better to have them sort of float about above the squidling?  I am leaning towards the latter option, but I am interested in other opinions.

[Swatopluk]

I'd have to see the results. If they stood in line, a horizontal move would probably be best. But for a single singer I am not sure.

Can they be animated to do various breakdances?     

[Griffin NoName]

They should do the can-can. Floating notes upwards and off.

[Roland Deschain]

How about a mix of floating above and floating up and away? It could be indicative of some instruments raising you to the heavens, and others anchoring you firmly in your seat, or some such malarky.

Yup. that underlined phrase is the reason they look the way they do. 


BTW. If you can make one of them bounce (compress and stretch) you would make me very happy!

I'd like to see one lecturing on quantum gravity at the Royal Institute, but i'm not sure that's the most practical suggestion.

Just because you are not observing it, doesn't mean it isn't happening.
