I've been lurking a while and realise I've got an awful lot to learn, but here is one of my first attempts...

I know it's really simple but it's made me smile...

It's an excellent idea. A lone alien sending out his Slim Whitman mating wails. But you could make the alien more expressive to sell the idea better and make it funnier. Something like this

Thanks Paul

I like the little guy and think he will develop more expression in the way you suggest... He may even find a girl friend.... just got to improve my skills first.

this is fun keep going with it... I think the first step is to work on the lipsync - the introduction of a closed mouth shape would really help... maybe draw the mouths in AS with switch layer interpolation?

good luck!

I love the textures of the alien and the Chia Planet. Are those bitmaps made in ArtRage?

[Fraser]

Thanks for the encouragement guys...

Yep that's Artrage Studio Pro, really works well with Anime Studio
