Another drawing in the new, toonish, style that I'm trying out. Also a blurb to go with the drawing.

Make your harem laugh with the Quad-64 Servotickle Stocks by Sablesword Industries. These stocks will secure up to four beauties at a time for grins and giggles, and includes its own built-in tickling devices, allowing you to lie back and relax while the Servotickle does all the work. Simultaneous tickling at all four positions means no waiting for laughter. Adjustable arm restraints allow beauties of any size to be comfortably secured. Features servobrushes for foot-tickling, and mecha-tentacles for tickling bellies and underarms. All three tickle-targets may be engaged simultaneously, or taken in any order, and each of the four restrained beauties may be subjected to her own tickle-program. Features locking security for both wrists and ankles, and a ComfortSquirm bench to allow the trapped beauties to fully appreciate their tickle-joy without distraction from their seats. Quick to set up and easy to operate, the Quad-64 Servotickle will have your tickle-slaves laughing in no time, using one of the sixteen built-in programs for 64 different giggle-combinations. Or with an additional memory module, you may use a custom program of your own.

Requires electricity or a magic conversion kit (sold separately) for operation. Not available in stores. Cannot be shipped to the Martian Nests, any Earthsea islands, or the Real World.

Excellent! Love it.

Have you played around with animation at all? Making *.gif files or something? I bet you'd be good at it. Your style looks like it wold be well suited to animation.

 

[Sablesword]

I've experimented once with making an animated gif icon. It didn't turn out well, and I never usedthe result. I'm not much of a video fan anyway. If I did try animation, I'd want to use something that produced big images.

 

[Sablesword]

OK here's a foot-tickling animation experiment that I spent far too much time on

 

[evadelta]

Yeah, I can see you put A LOT of frames of animation into that. I think it looks good though, like I said, your visual style is well suited to animation. I don't think you have to make a full-fledged cartoon for it to look good though. You don't need to make quite so many frames. But, one can tell that you put a lot of work into it. Bravo!

 

[Sablesword]

120 frames, to be precise, at 12 frames per second for a 10 second loop. How many FPS do you think are needed?

Also, I'd like to be able to automate things more. I use Corel Draw X3 for my drawings. I'd like to find a decent animation program that will let me use Corel to do the basic drawings and then let me animate transitions from one key frame to the next.

I don't know the first thing about drawing, let alone animation, so I can't recommend any good applications or methods. As for optimal frames and frame rate? Maybe an example will help. These are some pretty well-known tickling gifs. I have no idea where they came from, but they've been around for a while. I'm pretty sure there's more than a few threads with the whole series right here on the TT. Sometimes they're very short, and repeating, and other times they're much longer, but none of them seem to have a very high frame rate. But they're still pretty pleasant to watch.
