Animorph Part 3 - The Old One

I have now named the character and created a bio for him.


https://1444914129542510240-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/comicstrippage1/swf/Raven%20Head%201.swf

Bio & Abilities
The Old One was there at the beginning of the world, without him the Darkrin would have won the Great War. He is the reason the world is free of chaos.
The Old One has no real name, he communicates through telepathy and resembles an 8 foot tall Raven. He is extremely smart and knowledgeable, hence why he is often referred to as the “all knowing one”, a title he readily denies. He lives in a giant oak just on the outskirts of the village. He prefers quite a solitary life; however he is still friendly to any visitors to his home.  He often wears leather armour when defending the village from the Darkrin that hide in the outlaying forests. He also has the ability to let out a shriek capable of incapacitating any enemy. He also has superior vision capable of seeing for miles and able to use a heat vision ability capable of seeing enemies through objects.


Role In the Game
  • This character would be your guide for the game, guiding you on the basics of the game, and helping you now and again throughout your adventure.
  • Your character is the apprentice to The Old One.
  • He will bestow onto you unique powers once you are worthy.

Animorph Part 2

Here's the second instalment in the creation of my animorph for college. Now the Raven has full body armour that covers the back and part of the wings.

Animorph Part 1

This is the first part of creating the animorph for College. My idea so far is going to be a Raven with aviator goggles and an aviator hat. I also plan to complete the rest of the Raven's body, with full armour.


I've created the entire thing using flash as I have grown to like using flash and am getting quite good at using it.

Comic Strip

This is my comic strip, this time converted to be more linear.

Group Reflection

Overall the feedback from my peers were quite positive. Many people liked the amount of detail I had put into it and the use of buttons for roll-over events. One of the suggestions to improve was to do more animations, so one of my goals is to add some form of animation to each frame. Another suggestion of how to improve it was to make it more linear, so rather than having all the frames on one page, I could have one frame then have a next button to scroll to the next frame. A third area for improvement was to add a title and end scene. What I will do is either create a title screen specific to the issue, or create a title screen that could be used on every issue of the comic. For the end frame I would make a frame with either "THE END" or "To Be Continued". So these are my targets for improving my comic strip:

1. Add more animations
2. Make the comic linear
3. Make a title frame and an end frame
