Behoimi BE Animation Test

[Test-0]

Hello.

I wanted to try and draw up an animated something but I wasn't sure if Photoshop was up to the test to try it out, so I decided to make a test animation to see how easy it is to use it for animation. The end result... it's terrible. The entire process isn't automated and for some ungodly stupid reason it doesn't let me use union skins in frame by frame animation style so I had to make my own half transparent frame and carry it through the entire time. -_-;

The animation looks somewhat good though. It's Behoimi from the Pani Poni series. Kinda. Inspiration came from a separate spin off manga series she's in. Blah blah blah.

There's two versions of it attached. They both have slightly different changes made to them as well as size. I'd like to hear opinions on which you like more, if it/they should be a bit faster or slower, which size you like more (image size, not her breasts ). Basically I need input on how I should go about making animations.

Also, if you have an idea for a good frame by frame animation drawing program (Windows XP) please drop a name or two for me to try out.
