Hello everyone! I’m new here. First time posting! I just wanted to say what an awesome site this is. VERY helpful!
My title may be a bit confusion, so let me try and explain. I have been working with flash for about a year now. I’m decent at it. I’m no expert. I can do next to no action scripting. I’ve started a project in flash. A series about a bounty hunter named Pliskin. To see the opening theme please check out http://jonathanj.chickendude.com/watch.html
What I would like to accomplish is an animation that doesn’t look so much like vector graphics. I want the characters to look more like anime, or like they have been drawn on paper. It’s hard to explain… sorry. If anyone here has ever seen or heard of Ninjai: The Little Ninja then that is the kind of animation I’m trying to achieve. Not on such a high level, but something similar. Realistic looking.
I have hardly any skill with photoshop, though I would like to learn. Any assistance, tips, or help would be great! Also, if you are very good with photoshop, and or Flash and you are interested in helping, let me know! I would be very eager to get some help with background art, etc.
Also, should I learn actionscripting? I know it is important for preloaders and stuff, but can in actually help in making the animation easier, and making things work better and smoother? Thanks again for your time and help!
