Description
My first animation, which started as a miniature "watercolour", progressed through "Photoshop", and into something more in ImageReady. Its a little jumpy as I wanted to retain the image size without going over the upload limit, I'll try to make the next one much smoother.

This is actually only about the third animation I've ever seen posted here, and I've been tempted on and off to do some gif animations myself but have always felt put off because they would be too jerky. I may still do so though, and this charming piece would definitely be an inspiration. HUGEST HUGS Thank you Cass for inspiring me over and over :-)

Now I understand why he kept opening and closing his wings in the still picture! I like the new background. The animation is jumpy but still very cool. Made me smile. Thanks. :)

I didn't know you could upload animations. Think mine might be too big though. The little blighter won't stay still long enough, you did a good job. Only thing I will say is that I'm not sure the water(?) blends in all that well, it looks a bit too sharp at the edges, and with all the depth and shadows you have in the background picture, the bug seems a little washed out in comparison. I love the way he follows the curve of the rock too; keep thiking he will do the same with the tree as well.

Awesome work!:D This is wonderful, an admirable foray into animated gifs;) The attention given to ensuring there's depth to the picture is perfect, and I particularly like how the beetle flies behind the leaves. His flight pattern makes me think of a lemniscate.

Hahaha... Love it. Tried to catch the little bugger (pun intended) but he moved to fast, so just had fun watching him.
Anonova
So cool!! Jumpy seems appropriate, given a normal bug's movement. Really well done. :)
Varian
Nice job on this! Great work on the beetle, and cool leaves here, too.

Killer work Cassie! I've been staring at this for quite some time and I cannot seem to stop myself...
