Except for the first animation, which was done recently using The GIMP to draw each frame, all the animations are done on paper.
This is a collection of some of the animations i did in my first year at uni, full of dragons, werewolves, minotaurs that have no horns, horses that are too short, objects changing shape and things warping from one place to another. Needless to say, some of these are a bit wierd looking.

Total time: 1 hour, 30 minutes.
Back in 2008, I was a huge fan of MonHun games and drew a chibi Naruga: http://darkmanethewerewolf.deviantart.com/art/Chibi-Monster-Hunter-Naruga-104793459
Now, 2016, as Im just about learning to draw properly, I decided I ought to have another go at it, and Im still a huge fan of MonHun.
The old Naruga drawing had always bothered me, partly from the awkward angle, crooked tail and the misshapen beak, but even at the time that I drew it, it never looked the way I had intended it to look. Its probably one of the worst Chibi MonHun draws Ive ever done (Also my chibi Teo but I digress).
For those of you who might be wondering why, if I was so ashamed of the old one, do I still keep it in my DeviART gallery and not just replace it with this lovely new one? I never delete any of my old work because theyre all a part of my journey in learning art and animation throughout the years. They show how I developed as a young artist to what I am today, and Im hoping that another 8 or so years is going to be just as interesting or more so than what I have at the moment.
Most importantly, it shows that improvement does infact happen not overnight, but over a long period of work and study. No one starts off perfect at anything and drawing is no different. For people who feel like they dont get it right the first time, I dont get it right first time either =p and perseverence will help you improve.
Other Monster Hunter artwork ive done, including the rest of the Chibi MonHun series and also the complete opposite - the Creepy MonHun series can be found on my DeviantART gallery.

Left side is my drawing space only, right side is the whole screen so you can see more of what im actually doing.
The reason my screen is sideways is because I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet PC and turn the screen and lid sideways to draw on. In this configuration, my left hand can easily press Ctrl/shift/etc when I need to while I draw with my right.
Im drawing on GIMP 2.6.10.
