My first frame-by-frame colored animation. Yay.

So I've been wanting to do a gift for the wonderful artist *KayFedewa for a while now, but never really knew what exactly to do. Then randomly one night the word "animation" popped into my brain.

This is an animation of the Black Blood Alliance page 10. (Why page 10? Well . . . it was short and had no talking) I sketched out the panels of the comics to use as base keyframes and then filled in the action I assumed would be going on in-between them. I worked on it for about a week, on and off. The sketching of the frames took one day, the coloring took forever. Still, I'm pleased with the outcome, even if it is a bit jittery. My favorite motion sequence is that where the brown wolf lands on top of the gray wolf. Bonkzies!

It goes pretty fast, so I added pause/play buttons in the upper right corner if you want to freeze-frame it. If you have any critique I would love to hear, but please only if you know what you're talking about. "Lol looks shaky" will get you a flick on the ear.

There isn't a background because it would take a bloody long time to add one for the rotation, and I experimented with one and it took away from the wolves. Oh well.

*edit: damn, it's running slow. It ran faster when I was working on it

*edit2: I suppose a link to the original comic page would be helpful [link]

**Wow, I had no idea this would be this popular. Thank you guys!**
