The first one was not only featured as part of a description statement in Resurrection, but it was also the first try at an animated gif. The second one was something I just cooked up a few minutes ago. However, I cannot figure out, for the life of me, that when making an animated gif, to tell Flash or Fireworks to MAINTAIN the image quality that is present instead of simply ASSUMING that I'm going to use it on web pages for those who can't view more than 256 colors now days. It's CS3. You'd think if Adobe has come THIS far, they'd assume that either people would want the option of True Color processing, or make that default. Period. Meh, at least I came out with this.

But for doing that in Flash, that's pretty good. Try doing it in Imageready (Comes with Photoshop). You might get better results there, but don't count on that it'll go past 256... >>;;; They need to make a way so that GIFs aren't exported with pixels... Cool gifs though, Maybe now Transcon will make his own moving Alpha-Omega...

That should give you a blank background, but first, which program are you using? Still the Flash one? I know you can manage to take it off in Photoshop, but only if you're starting with a file without any background color. But that one's pretty sweet.

I felt like a kid with a coloring book: lousy. I am sucky at coloring. I discovered that I lack the time or the patience. Oh, and here's the original design for the character. I have reason to believe that this isn't the original art for the game, but rather fan art based off of the original character design: As you can see, I changed the character design enough, like an "update", but kept true to the theme for my concept of Crash Man.

Nice job with the video editing though,I finally got to see that spawn snipe you were telling me about,and that clip with you in the lift was great!
	I finally got one!...... And it died a horrible death,so I guess I'll have to find a new one.
