About time I uploaded something non artsy and this song is absolutely awsome :D Although funnily enough it was actually quite a challenge to make. I was trying to go for colour and flow rather than mega spazz effects, so I appologise to all you effects junkies out there - I'll have something brain-meltingly crazy out soon I promise XD
Song is called Nara, and the artist has a long foreign name which Im afraid I cant remember :(

So I realised the other day that I haven't uploaded anything in about 8 months, and with that unlikely to change I thought I'd make my exit official. So here's to you awesome Youtube people who have kept me on this site for 7 years. Without Youtube I wouldn't have started animating and eventually gotten in to art, which ultimately led me down the path that I have chosen for my life. This account will still be available with all my videos left online, and I'll check it reguarly (all my music is stored in playlists), so I'll try to still reply to comments, but if you want to follow my artings, check out my DeviantArt account linked above, where I shall be as active as ever for the foreseeable future :D

Personal pic loosely based on Wolf's Rain. I love the concept of dogs and cats along with other companion and wild animals taking over cities after the apocalypse. Although apocalypse background could have done with a little more detail, but hey ho!
Commission for a really nice guy who has a unique view to commissions. This is his OC Folix who was awesome fun to draw. I used a completely different style to my normal one. That said, I cant decide whether or not his anatomy is derpy
Winged bat wolf demen thing XD Yeah, the anatomy is terrible. I didnt reference even though I really should have done, so the legs in particular look terrible. But meh XD

I appologise for this animation's relative suckiness - I only had a short amount of free time in which to make it so the frame rate is embarrassingly low. It's almost more of an animatic than an actual animation, but hey ho. At any rate, this is a gift for one of my all time favourite internet people, WanderingDragon379 - http://wanderingdragon379.deviantart.com whose beautiful art is an endless inspiration and whose wonderful crits have made me a far better artist that I would otherwise be. Here's to you chum! ^^
ABOUT THE ANIMATION:
Made in Adobe Photoshop CS4, compiled on Windows Movie Maker (not sure what version), and rendered in Sony Vegas 7
Made over the course of 2 weeks, although Im unsure of the actual hour count.
Framerate varies from clip to clip, but averages at about 10fps. Im not sure of the total framecount.
Song is Lugia's Song from the Pokemon Soundtrack.
All art incl backgrounds is copyright me (and Wanderer who is free to use it however she wishes ^^)
A remake of an ancient picture I did when I was about 14. Hopefully there's some improvement in this one ^^
BTW I've recieved a great deal of fanart of Faith and I would like to say just how gratefull I am to each and every person who has done so - I really appreciate it, and it is fabulous to see you guy's version of my character ^^Speedpaint - God of CatsGoldenPhoenix1012011-06-08 | A speedpaint of Neravaira's character, Onteel. He's the god of all cats and I absolutely adore his character design.

Onteel is (C) http://www.youtube.com/user/neravairathethird who has always been and remains one of my all time favourite AMV makers on Youtube - be sure to check her channel out and show some love! Her vids are beautiful and really deserve more attention

A nice little speedpaint of a snarling leopard. Terrible lighting and fur effects, but hey ho ^_^Animash - The Poet and the PendulumGoldenPhoenix1012011-01-07 | Phew glad this is out of the project basket at long last! I started more than a year ago when I found that in spite of this song's epic awsomeness only a handful of people had made AMVs with it, and of that handful no one had used the full song. It's funny really how much AMV making has changed since I used to do it on a regular basis -- back in the days where if you used more than 3 clips you were considered talented and a flash effect was the height of technology. Back in 2005 - 2007 when having 500 subscribers made you a Youtube legend, and 1000 was unheard of. I remember the coming and going of different trends -- first the flash trend, then the chroma keyer fad, followed by the cookie cutter faze and most recently the colour filters.
An enormous amount has changed since then, and now I see AMVs that are so incredibly detailed and well composed that I can hardly believe they're made by non professionals. But I also know that there wouldn't be AMVs this good today if it weren't for the original editors. Therefore I want to make this vid a dedication to all the original Youtube legends, many of whom are sadly no longer with us (in a suspended sense - I'm not implying that they're dead XD). This is for you guys!
I know that this isn't everyone but I'm afraid I can't remember them all -- if you know of any others that I've missed out, please leave a comment and I'll stick them in! ^^
This is also a dedication to an awesome friend of mine, HorsesnHurricanes for being a legendary friend to me for as long as I've had a Youtube account, and for the epic Christmas pressie! Luv you chum! :D

Colouring a sketch of my fictional species, Shalkats, by a very good friend of mine, http://WanderingDragon379.deviantart.com (or www.youtube.com/user/dragonbattousai/). She asked me to record the process so she could see it, even though her art is far better than mine ^^
*A little info on Shalkats* They are a completely fictional species, but I tried to make them look as evolutionary functional as possible. If they existed they would be native to South America and live in a variety of habitats, including jungles, grassland and mountains (like this one). Their fur colour varies depending on where they live, but they are never darker than a light beige. Eye colour can be gold or blue depending on fur colour (gold for beige, blue for white). Their tails are up to twice as long as their bodies, which are also very long, and they have short legs. They always have ear tufts and long hair on their tails. They also have long digits and thumb-like dew claws to help them grasp and climb. Males have large sabres but females do not.
Yah. I have too much free time -_-

Well here's an animation is as promised :D No wolves in this one though I'm afraid people, but it is from Wolf's Rain which kind of balances it out yes? This has been a work in progress for the last 3 months and I learnt a hell of a lot from making it. It's easy to see the parts I put a lot of effort into and the parts I was lazy with, not to mention the atrocious anatomy errors in all five characters. At any rate it was awesome fun to make and somewhat easier now that I've gone back to the lineart style as opposed to my "furry animals" style. Constructive crit is greatly appreciated ^^
Oh, also I apologise for how confusing this video is. It was hard getting the story to make sense whilst also fitting it to the already existing audio of Wolf's Rain (epic anime BTW ^^) so it might be a little confusing. The basic story is that our puma is entering this cave in order to gain increased powers, but Hige and the gang try to stop her before this happens. Hige is overpowered and Tsume & Toboe shield him as Kiba enters the scene and battles the puma. She paralyses him with her magic but he retaliates and eventually renders her too weak to continue her plan.
Meh it's fail but whatever. To be honest I'd much prefer to hear your own interpretations of it in a comment ^^
...........FAQ..........
Q) What programs did you use to make this? A) The programs are listed at the end of the video. Adobe Photoshop is an art program, Movie Maker is a free video editing program, as is Sony Vegas although it costs money
Q) Where can I get them for free? A) People I hate this question. Don't ask it. Downloading software from the internet is against the law and whilst I have no trouble with people doing it, I have no intention of helping you do it. If you're too stupid to figure out how to download stuff you shouldn't be downloading stuff. The programs I use are bought and paid for.
Q) How did you make this? A)By drawing a multitude of images and placing them together. If you want more information, check out some of the many "how to animate" videos on Youtube. In answer to this question as it applies to effects and backgrounds, everything was drawn on frame-by-frame. No special effects were used aside from the flash.
Q) Teach me how to do this! A) No. I am not a machine. I will probably upload a tutorial of how to animate in the near future but I have no intention of instructing each and every person who asks on the vast amount of methods and techniques that are applied in animation. If you really want me to tutor you properly be willing to pay cash.
Q) I want a free animation program. Help! A) Google Pencil 2d. It's a nifty little thing that can be quite fun to make animations on. Plus it's completely free ^^
Q) How do you make it so smooth? A) I get this a lot and the answer is very simple: frames, frames and more frames. If you practice enough you'l get a feel for roughly how many frames you need but as a beginner the main rule to remember is that you cannot draw too many frames. The more you draw, the smoother the animation will be.
Q) Did you use a tablet for this? A) Yes. A WACOM Bamboo One tablet to be precise. They're awesome little tools ^^
Q) What is the frame-count/frame-rate? A) No idea what the total number of frames is. Suffice to say it is probably in the region of 1000. As for the frame-rate I generally do about 15 frames per second for standard animation although when I am feeling lazy or trying to lipsync this varies considerably.
Q) Why did you make Toboe a heron/Hige a fox etc? That doesn't suit them at all. They would have been better as a . . . (insert different animal species) A) Please don't comment this. The animals are not meant to be Toboe or Tsume or anyone else -- they share the same names due to the nature of the audio and some of their actions are the same, but they are fundamentally different characters invented for the purpose of this animation.
Q) Why does the Kiba deer resemble a wolf/have sharp teeth? A) Kiba has sharp canines in this animation because he is a hybrid red deer/white tailed deer. Red deer often have enlarged canines and Kiba has inherited these. His anatomy resembles a wolf in some sequences because I am very bad at animating other animals and have only ever drawn deer a handfull of times in my life. Drawing a single image of a deer is one thing but when animating several hundred frames I start to loose concentration and slip back into canine style. Hopefully I'll improve in time.
Q) Will there be more of these characters in other animations? A) I hadn't originally planned to make another but due to the overwhelming number of comments asking for a sequel I will probably whip something up in the future ^^ Just as soon as I've recovered from making this one XD

This is the point when my subscribers suddenly realise that I havent uploaded an animation in ages and that all theyre seeing is crappy speedpaints which arent worth watching, thus concluding that I am no longer worth subscribing and leaving me in favour of more entertaining Youtubers T_T
Well frankly guys I cant blame you one bit, although I assure you there will be lots of animations coming up in the nearish future. The problem is that Ive got two personal animations plus one prize animation and a few extra bits and pieces scattered here and there, plus all the coursework we youths always get at this time of year, so whilst Im working on loads of cool stuff, its all being made very slowly because Im doing it all at once. In the meantime I took a little break today and did this quick pic of an Akita Inu. Its far from anatomically correct but I kinda like it :)
Anywho enjoy guys ^^ (And I promise actual videos will be uploaded soon!)

Don't knock the awsome anatomical incorrecness - this is ancient, but numerous comments asking why I haven't uploaded anything for ages (which I'm really sorry about - I bet you're all fed up with speedpaints by now) made me think I should stick it up ^^
I can only appologise for the obscene quality (and the random glitch where it goes black in the middle o.0). For some reason every time I use Hypercam the quality gets worse and worse. Must be a devious plan on the part of Hypercam to make me want to purchse the software. Suspicous. . .
Song is Farewell to the Fairground by White Lies for those of you who suffer from "I-can't-read-the-video-so-I'm-going-to-leave-a-comment-asking-what-the-song's-called-syndrome". The irony is that the song has aboslutely nothing to do with the subject of the speedpaint, and it's also my second least favourite genre of all time. Retro style man-songliness :3 Yet for some reason this particular one is strangely catchy ^^ Agree or Disagree? Comment!Crappy Dragon SpeedpaintGoldenPhoenix1012009-12-14 | Ugh this is so BAD! But I spent so long on it I couldn't face the idea of no uploading it somewhere. You know what it's like when you've got a bad sketch and you know nothing you do is going to make it any better but you keep working on it anyway in a futile attempt to save it - like the captain of Titanic XD
Anywho
So yeah, this was supposed to be my character Jake with and awsome background and dramatic colours, but I screwed up the colours and left out the background completely. But there he is all the same ^^
DEBATE TIME! :D :D
I want your opinions on hunting for food - not sport, just food. So stuff like hunting deer and then taking the meat home and cooking it up with veg and gravy, not just killing it then leaving it.
I agree that hunting for sport is a horrible thing, but hunting and then eating what you kill is a much more grey area for me. So I want to know you guy's opinions. And please no "killing animals is mean" - if you're for or against it I want good reasons
Can't remember how long this took, although I think it was around the 3-4hour mark - embarassingly long so something so crappy but all those dam scales took freakin forever to shade!

Also, upon watching this I've realised it's very unclear - I'm really bad at putting my thoughts into text (or something like that XD) so if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! :)

3rd place: a sub (and a pat on the back ^^)
Most of the other stuff is in the video so there isn't much else to say here.
But as I said, I am NOT judging this on artistic talent, skill or fancy programs - this is about making something completely original and reflecting yourself as an artist.Phoenix Speedpaint in PhotoshopGoldenPhoenix1012009-10-08 | FEATHERS WERE DRAWN WITH A CUSTOM BRUSH THAT CAN BE DOWNLOADED HERE: http://keepwaiting.deviantart.com/art/FUR-BRUSHES-PHOTOSHOP-CS3-103454575 All credit goes to the creator for the brush.

Anywho, since my old channel icon is REALLY old now I figured I needed a new one, and at the same time I wanted to try out Hypercam to see what it's like in comparison to CamStudio (which is awful) and I was pleasantly supprised by the result ^_^ Excuse the crappy picture BTW - I figured since its gonna be so small on my channel I didn't need to put too much detail in so I left out highlights and stuff.

Anyways this AMV has been in the works for ages its just something Ive worked on whenever Ive become sick of animating, but I felt you guys deserved a subber dedication video for being so awesome (:D XD) so I finished it off ^_^ I know its not up to the standards of most other AMVs out there now (seriously, you guys are awesome! :D :D), but I hope its entertaining enough to keep you watching.

Anyways, does anyone use Sony Vegas 9? Because despite having grown fond of Vegas 7 over the years, I figured it was time for an update so I bought Vegas 9, got it home, installed it and . . was rendered speechless.
It is the BIGGEST PILE OF CRAP IVE EVER SEEN! Theyve taken the BEST features that were in Vegas 7 (masking, compositing mode, the ability to zoom in really close in the workspace, customisation) and removed them! There are NO new changes to it at all (except that its now compatible with some weird program that no ones heard of) and theres tons of needless limitations on it. How can an updated version of a product be worse?!?!
If you have Sony Vegas 9, no offence, and you have my undying sympathy. If you have Vegas 7/8 and are thinking about getting 9, DONT
Phew, rant over sorry about that, but I was so annoyed after spending all that money on it that I had to have go at it somewhere. Sorry guys.

Also quick question: Do any of you guys who make animations and/or AMVs find that after a while you start analysing all the editing/animation in everyday commercials and tv programs? Or am I just getting obsessed and going crazy? XD
Anyways I figured I'd end up doing this eventually (who hasn't? XD) and I decided to celebrate the end of a week of particuarly hard work - so this is Faith in anime/chibi form (which he wasn't happy about XD) doing that good ol dance thingy to Caramelldansen.
This is also the first animation in about 2 years that I've used references for - simply because I don't know exactly what the dance movements to the song look like off the top of my head.

Actually, a massive thank you, Bexca for having the contest, as this was probably one of the most enjoyable AMVs I've had to make, and it also gave me a welcome break from animating (so . . many . . . frames . . .to . . draw . . . )
Ahem!

Normally I say you dont need a flashy program to make animations - you can make great ones with just Paint and WMM, but this particular animation really needed a lot of tweaking with Sony Vegas. Some parts of it I think are some of the best animating Ive done, but other parts of it I think are absolutely awful and am embarassed to think they're mine :P Ah well I'll let you guys deciede - I hope you enjoy :D

READ FOR ANSWERS TO COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
Q1) What program is this?
A) Adobe Photoshop 6.0
Q2)Can I get it for free?
A) You can get anything for free if you know how - whether or not you can get it for free depends on how willing you are to break the law. However, if you have a shred of decency in you and want to buy it rather than steal it, I suggest getting it from Amazon.com or Adobe's own website. The cost of the program varies depending on the version
Q3) How do you make the frame go transparent/faint?
A) The correct term in "onion skin" and you get it by setting the layer opacity of the layer you want to make transparent to 40%
Q4) Is this your character?
A) Yes
Q5) Will you ever finish this?
A) Probably not, as I've improved a great deal since this was uploaded, and I have no inclination or time to go back to working on this one as of yet
Q6) How do you save this as an animation?
A) I complete all the frames, and save them each as an individual file, before importing them all into Windows Movie maker and saving the final thing as a movie file
Q6) What's the name of the song?
A) The song is called Voodoo People Remix by Prodigy
Really quick stupid thing, but I felt like uploading something. A few people have asked how I make my animations and although this doesnt really explain it, hopefully someone somewhere might find it interesting ^^
I've only made 3 frames of the animation for this vid, but if peopel want me to finish it, then by all means I shall ^^
Also, I appologise for the attrociosus lack of editing, but if theres one thing Sony Vegas doesnt like, it's really long clips
Character is called Kaiya BTW ^^
Anyways, enjoy dudes! :D
Song is Voodoo PeopleWinged Wolf/Dog AnimationGoldenPhoenix1012008-10-11 | Kay dudes! Some of you may recognise this guy as I've put him up on utube before (thought never in an animation bwahahahaaa :P) A while back I asked you guys about a good name for him and a few of you came up with Faith (Hence the incredibly cheesy play on words in the animation XD). So much thanks to WolfLover1228 and NarutaFoxx for naming him ^^.
As for the animation itself, looking at it now it's finished, I really can't decide whether I like it or not - The quality was totally sucked out when I rendered it which was annoying. I was gonna turn it into my new video intro, but I'm not sure whether it's good enough - Lemme know what you guys think, and enjoy! :D
Ya know I've just realised how many of my video descriptions start with "Kay". I need to get some better opening lines XPTLK - Blood Diamond TrailerGoldenPhoenix1012008-09-29 | Yay! Crappy timing and downright awfull lip-sync all in one big explosion of rushedness XD
Another done-in-an-evening job, mainly because I made this for a contest which closes the day after tomorow so I wanted to get this done as quickly as possible. I've always loved this trailer - it just feels so much more atmoshperic than most other trailers. Never seen the movie tho :P
Enjoy dudes!
I own none of the media used in this AMVBambi - WarriorGoldenPhoenix1012008-09-22 | High Quality!
A Bambi vid?! Le Gaspeth! XD
One of my attempts at a no effects vid - failing miserably as always :P, but at least there arent too many effects in it ^^
Well, dudes I made this in one evening so it's not incredibly good, but I gotta say, I really like it ^^
Enjoy!

Anyways, this was a request for the awsomley awsome WolfsRainParadise ^^ and all I can say is IM SOOO SORRY FOR TAKING 7 MONTHS TO FINISH IT!!!! *Bursts into tears and grabs Paradise, sobbing* XP
All I can say is that this thing fought me like mad. The song was elusive to say the least, so in the end I had to resort to devious means :P And the computer really didn't like my newfound text effect on Sony Vegas. I've never done moving text before, and shall certantly think twice about doing it again XD
Enjoy all! ^^

Oh, and song's Going in Blind by POD apparently. Weird name for a band :P
Lyrics:
One day... Some day..
This life *not* like you wanted it.
His eyes I can see again, I need you here.
In your mind nobody's listening.
It's alright not to feel again,
Just breath again...
Time after time I walk the fine line,
But something keeps bringing me back.
Time after time I'm going in blind,
I don't know which way I need to go...
Feels like your world is caving in
And I cry, failing to understand,
I wish I can...
It's alright if you're missing him,
In his eyes you can live again,
Free within!
Time after time I walk the fine line,
But something keeps bringing me back.
Time after time I'm going in blind,
I don't know which way I need to go!
Time after time I walk the fine line,
But something keeps bringing me back.
Time after time I can't see the signs,
I don't know which way I need to go!
Do all these roads lead me back to you...
I don't know which way I need to go.
one day? Some day!
Time after time I walk the fine line,
But something keeps bringing me back.
Time after time I'm going in blind,
I don't know WHICH way I need to go!
Time after time I walk the fine line,
But something keeps bringing me back.
Time after time I can't see the signs
do all these roads *lead* me back to you,
One day....Vidder GraveyardGoldenPhoenix1012008-06-24 | Yaar, this be my dumping groud for all vidders that have failed me o.0

This was a request from StoneTitan (from about four months ago!) I'm so sorry it's taken so long, titan! And Im sorry that it's not brill :(
This was possibly one of the hardest AMVs I've done (even tho its not great) because the request involved portraying the human's POV of the bears - harder than it looks, people!
Anyways, enjoy!
I own neither the footage, nor the music (which I dont know the name of, Im afraid, guys :( They are the property of their respective owners.
