BOBtheROSS: very solid style, I like it

fate109: This is with photoshop set to "No Delay" or 0 seconds.

???

fate109: BTW this is only about 50 frames.

AMKitsune: The "No Delay" option is pretty much useless. It leaves how the animation is played up to the player in question. For firefox, it plays these frames at a 'firefox defined default speed' (if you're using firefox right now, that's the speed you'll be seeing). My desktop image viewer (Irfanview) happens to interpret the gif differently and play it super quickly.

For smooth movements, you really want frame durations of 0.04 seconds or less while not using the "No Delay" option. (of course, you could use higher durations if you wanted, it's purely down to personal taste)

To give you an example, I took your 'slow' gif and changed the durations of the frames to 0.03 seconds each.



Much smoother (I hope that's how it appears for you anyway...)
This basically forces your image viewer to display the animation at the rate you specified and not to use it's own.

I also lowered the number of indexed colours used when exporting the gif which, for pixely images like this, can be a great way of reducing the file size without loosing detail. You'll find the options for that when exporting your gifs through the 'save for web' menu.
(your original was 2.73mb while this newly optimised version is only 779kb.)

Toryu-Mau: Hmm... tag says crossover.
No idea what it could be.
Anyone else have ideas?

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: Isn't this adorable! Great stuff as always.

Stankloid: It's Meow's hat from Space Dandy, I believe.

CaptainLackwit: Hey, it's Cider again.

Megamaxmax: Updated version. Original was too short, didn't have all my layers when I started it back up so just restarted completely. Did a much better job if I do say so myself.

Riddle78: DOUBLE!

Fallingfeather: well i wasnt expecting THAT. (Super well done though! I love how all of the pins just sloooowly fall)

Sofox: That was fantastically done!

Cloudheart: Strike. Nice play on words. XD

Toryu-Mau: Oooh, getting a real Jazzy vive from this one.
Been saving up to dump a bunch of awsome on us, eh? ;]

OppoQuinn: The tag says Katia, but the hair says Rajirra.

tronn: Pfft what do you mean all Khajiit look the same?

Radian: I'm not done yet, MHAHAHAHAH! Here is demonic badass Katia, ready to reap your soul. Now I'm done...
This technique almost opposite to Makkon's one but I find it much more enjoyable.
Also I can post hi res so you can see how much messy this actually is.

Geravind: Khajiit is sure -- this creature escaped from Diablo universe.

AzuajeM79: God Of Cats

BadReligion:

Yes

YEAAASHSHHHH!!!
@AzuajeM79:
Goddess*

Ye, there is Katia as Bastet stuff...

Bhoren: This is truly impressive !

ammurin: is it... a Balor?

Fallingfeather: Apologies for the incredibly shoddy quality. It was literally the only way I could get this 26 second monster under the 3.5 MB limit, lol.
Anyway, have some magical cloning shenanigans.

Vidiotdragon:

Enheldor: What does the chest say? Also, really clever how you did the time passing texts.

PermanentFace: This is a fantastic idea. It's a shame about the quality of the upload, but it's the best concept for a 'long gif' I've seen so far.

Toryu-Mau: ... Yeah... Absconding the heck out of there is a wise choice. <-- O~ O; .

forestOverlord: I really like the glitchy texture to be honest. Great animation.

forestOverlord: Man, I've been staring at this for ages. It's a really nice animation to watch and it's also really cool to see how all those artefacts double up to reduce to file size.

Fallingfeather: @Enheldor The chest says "Teammates" XD All the text is just rearranged version of the magetallow candles 25 ct sign, so it was difficult to find a word that implies "there are people in this box". XD

And thank you all for the compliments! I'll probably end up uploading the normal, higher quality gif elsewhere. (I am very new to this site though- does anyone know if linking to other images is allowed?)

furnut: This is a very efficient and cheap way to start your own army.

Enheldor: @Fallingfeather: Kazerad said something on the contest's comments section.

Armored-Struggle-Wagon: It's... Majestical! (they sook slightly off though :p)

Sly_Lass: Justice. Justice everywhere.

Asotil: I love the smell of Justice in the morning.

fmmch: True justice is that lightly beacon of light in a world of prejudice and disorder where not even the innocent are safe.

posauneninja: Second attempt

OppoQuinn: Always look out for Khajiit

Skoon: This is my favorite.

Mezhik: Amazing!

chessaficionado: this looks amazing! Poor traveling enchanter

Toryu-Mau: Reinforcing racial stereotype are we?
PS: ¡ENCHANTMEN! has negative perception confirmed.

Cloudheart: @sapphotrix , I hope you don't mind me peeking into this gif. I really wanted to know how to do the nervous jitter thing.

sapphotrix: @Cloudheart: ahh, not at all! https://db.tt/lnVWSJiX here's a link to download the psd, if you'd like to see more than just the individual frames! (although i warn you, it's a complete mess)

furnut: "That's racist!"

Also, funny that the robber was wielding a pineapple.

JaneC: This is great! The only thing I'd have to say is that it's kind of weird that the Argonian just... completely stops moving or doing anything when Katia and Rajirra show up, until Katia starts pickpocketing him.

sapphotrix: @JaneC: time stops when you talk to someone!
