Cartoon animated gifs

[Moogie]

Greets all,

There seem to be many of these scattered around the Internet, but I\'m having great difficulty in tracking them down. I don\'t really know what to call them... they\'re drawings, animated, usually a cartoon or movie scene. And they\'re very impressive pieces of art.

Examples include:



and





I\'d really love to find more. If anyone knows where they can be found, or what they\'re generally called, or even if you have some floating around your harddrive, post below.

Thanks

Nah, that\'s not what I mean. I\'m looking for these \'mini movie scenes\' sorta thing, you know?

I\'ve seen another one too, if I remember correctly, someone like whemyfield used to have it in his sig. It was an animation of a samurai running through groups of japanese schoolgirls and brutally cutting them down. Yeah it\'s not exactly tasteful, but it\'s the only other example of these that I\'ve seen.

[WiseKran]

yes ive seen that one, as well as the 1st one you posted.

i think that the longer ones are very uncommon, but ill go look, they make great avatars for most forums

edit: success, here a few, its not the greatest.. but anyways

Heres one... its huge for a gif (about 1.5MB) but lasts for quite a while.

You know that PSP (Paint Shop Pro) ships with an animation program?  I\'m not sure if the recent version still does, but I know I\'ve made animated cursors with one of the older ones (7 I think).  That\'s the only thing that PSP has over PS or gimp.

The GIMP can do animated GIFs, too. You simply add each frame as a new layer and then \"save as GIF->export as animation\", set the default timer, and you\'re set. You can also set the frame times individually, albeit tediously ( by editing the layer properties text with something like \"Frame 10 (50ms) (replace)\" ). It\'ll load animated GIFs as well. It doesn\'t have a player, so you need to save the files and watch them in a browser. At least that\'s version 1.2.5 of the GIMP.

Ghostslayer, that one is exactly the sort of thing I mean. All hand drawn and original. I love it.

Heh I know who made that first one
You just find these toons on random forums that alot of teenagers go to. The quality of those toons are quite amazing though

[Altharion]

something like this?



this one is kinda off topic but whatever :



(i mostly have and know of alot of anime gif rather then handdrawn)

[ArcaneFalcon]

Altharion, that is a cool cartoon, but I can\'t help but notice that the last bullet is fired with the jacket still on.  That must be one dang good assasin if he can fire bullets still in their jackets.

Edit: Oh, and conveniently the bullet isn\'t spinning either so that you can read \"Looks Can Kill.\"  It\'s simply amazing that he can kill someone with an incredibly innacurate bullet fired with the jacket still on, and behind his back none the less!

Arcane, don\'t over analyse, people hate the know-it-all...

Moogie, I have seen a really good one of those, hand drawn, it was a fight between two stick people (not stickdeath)... It was quite long, but very entertaining.
I\'ll let you know if I find it again.
