9 out of 10 dentists agree, she got the moves
Have wanted to get my feet wet with animation for a while now (and to not waste my upgraded Clip Studio), so I thought that making some animated Discord stickers for the server is a good place to start. I’ve animated a few stuff before, but never as complicated as these. Here’s to more animations (and stickers) in the future!
“Myan blocks the way!”
Myan (and me) being a copycat from Okayu’s Mogu Mogu YUMMY!
My first real animation using Clip Studio so I gotta start simple and easy. I’m planning to do something animated every month so I can get some more practice.
I used animated PNG since gradients (her blush) don’t look great in GIF. Please let me know if it’s not compatible/playing!
Look at her go! Spent too much time again for details that won’t be seen in a new animated emoji… that I can’t even use.
She can smell birthday cakes from miles away.
I made this for BlueDavrial, Happy Birthday man!
This is also the first time I used ClipStudio’s animation features. Just barely got it to work since it’s so different from Adobe Flash.
Enthusiasm has gone for that secret side-project of mine and as usual, I seem to underestimate the time and effort that side-projects like the old Magicat Girl needs. So all that effort isn’t wasted, I’ve finally decided to reveal said side project to you: Act Cat, which is basically playing Charades with Myan.
The idea came from a comic (that I haven’t made yet) of Myan doing impressions, plus I wanted to some animation practice. Couple that with the comment system in the old Magicat Girl (which you can gamify), Act Cat was born. Myan would’ve acted out a variety of gestures using some simple and reusable looped animations. I hoped that eventually, the amount of animations would build up and make it easier for more Rounds to be made as time goes on, with the added bonus of being useful for reaction images as well.
It’s got rules like:
Anyway, here are the very few animations I’ve done of it. Perhaps if I have the time I’ll finish it, but probably not with Cat Nine going on.
If you’re up for it, here’s how the first Round would’ve played, but I’ll only use text descriptions for the animations I haven’t finished. Ready?
And final round, sadly.
The category is a book of course. And Myan is just pretending to read here. (tip: it also had a couple of movies)
That’s two words. The first Round was supposed to be a tutorial like this. After the first Round, there would be no text on the upper left like “Number of words”.
Myan tilting her head left and right, two times.
So that’s two syllables for the first word. In hindsight, I should’ve animated this before the one below.
Take this for example, it could represent: shaking, scared, fluffy, or something else, who knows? (tip: it’s something else)
Myan tilting her head left and right, two times.
Two syllables too for the second word.
Myan patting the floor with her right paws. “pat pat pat!”
Myan looking confused or thinking about something

Welp, that’s all of it – Time to guess using the comments below, if you want! I’ll tell you if you’re getting warmer, colder, or if you got it correct.
Ssshhh, I’ve got a secret side project going on… involving me animating Myan and that comment system I was using in Magicat Girl. This is one of the animations you’ll see.
