Here are mine ...

[Ampris]

Theme: http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l187/Ampris_Of_Crescentia/priestess.gif

I had to make this one smaller than usual to make up for all the frames, but it's still sort-of what I was going for.

Quoting and adding IMG tags, so it will show up, but you're still about double the file size you want to be. Av size limits for the board are 140x140 pixels and 70 Mb, and the contests typically adhere to the same restrictions. Perhaps one of our av aces will have some suggestions you can use to get the file size down.

 

[Outpost4]

Ampris, here you go. Here is your av at half the size and just under the board limits.

The major change came from you had the pictures of Natria and the Oracle each repeated many times, all for a tenth of a second. I just used one image of each and held it for longer. I kept the times the same as you had them. I also eliminated one of the frames in the transition from Natria to the Oracle. You had four going from the Oracle to Natria and five from Natria to the Oracle. Now there are four going both ways. This also got rid of a weird jump downwards in your version, making the transition from Natria to the Oracle a little smoother.

I also made one other variation, just because I could. I held onto both Natria and the Oracle a little longer - we're talking a few tenths of a second longer here - and sped up the transition frames a few hundreths of a second, making them a little smoother. Maybe you'll like it better. Maybe you won't. It's not quite so "shake and bake."

Good luck, Ampris. I'll vote for you.

^ Those are very cool, orac!

Outpost4, thanks for helping out Ampris. And cool to see you enter the contest again, Ampris.

I put up the voting thread tomorrow. I promise. I'm too tired right now.

 

[Outpost4]

This now gives me a time to enter the contest for the first time in quite a while. I'm able to do this by recycling one of my entries. The non-corporeal alien av is one of The Companion I made for another contest and went absolutely nowhere, but I liked it - so there!

Ah, I'm happy to see you enter, Gregg. Has been a long time.

Okay, I'll post the voting thread in a few moments ...
