I just threw this together using Kirupa’s tutorial after someone mentioned it and I really like that it was easy and fun, and I could incorporate some Nap Dyno pic I had 😉

It looks okay, a little too much grain though.

I agree. It reminds me of Klasky-Csupo(sp?) cartoons, Rugrats and stuff. Did they do Ah Real Monsters? Reminds me most of that. I’ll cut back on the grain next time though 🙂

Maybe make the grain a tad bit smaller in some places, instead of those big lines :beam:
Looking good mostly though :thumb:

It makes the loop fairly obvious huh?
One thing I did like that I did (although it wasn’t very hard at all) was to simply take the line and randomly move it with AS, instead of tweens. I was thinking of trying something like that with grain, maybe just make about 3 or 4 different grains and have them moving around or whatever like I did with the line. That might be harder though, I don’t know.

yeah, mine is crap, but it was just fun to make cause it was so dang easy for once. even getting the line to move with AS was super easy. It was just cool to pick up the skill, well, somewhat. A skill to be refined.
