Derpy Hovering Test

Description

Confound these Minecraft ponies, they drive me to architectural addiction! >.<

I kinda half-suspected that game would lure me away from Derpy for a while... but I finally broke free and worked on her with my full attention. ^___^

*puts down pony skinning guide*

In any event, Derpy is my third favorite non-Mane6 pony, and everyone's favorite easter egg in Season 2. ^__^

Here she's demonstrating your usual run-of-the-mill pegasus hovering, and while the initial wing animation was done literally frame-by-frame (probably unnecessarily-so, but I'm rusty... ^^; ), her second wing is pretty much a clone of the first one + an inversion warp + a reposition + a dark overlay for the darker shade. Very big time savings there once the work is all done. ^^

Definitely some room for improvement, though... the animation is only 26fps due to the peculiar way I did the wings using a single vector. Broken out between 3 or 4 different vectors, I can probably achieve a smoother look as well as the flexibility to export at higher frame rates without weird tween deformations. :)

But for now... enjoy this "derped" graphic. ^.^

Hi!
I hope you don't mind that I used your Derpy to make my own animation of one of my OC :3
Of course, you were credited! deexalis.deviantart.com/art/Da…
