That's very imaginative, John. I like the exhaust effect.
Looks like you have a large carbon footprint though.

My latest effort attached. Sorry for the use of such
technical jargon as "squashed and stretched".
Saludos,
Bob.

You can almost hear the clattering as they open Nice one.

To offset the carbon footprint, a bit of nature (tho was it pushed??) at night - that's my excuse for the rectangle!

Bit large - must be the clip view

Hi John,
Your last posting doesn't finish loading for me,
Perhaps a reduced file size might be the answer.
A wild guess, I imagine it says "waterfall".
all I see is this...
Saludos,
Bob.

[zaphodeist]

oops sorry about that. It works on my machine but it is over 200kb - thought it was because of the clip view but just tried and it wasn't. Exported now as JPG instead of PNG and it's only 39kb!! Hope it works now.

Learnt summat else anyway Every day, in every way etc etc ....

That's fixed it, John.
The letters are tumbling very nicely...
have you thought about animating it?
Moving swiftly on, here's the next, I know
it's corny, like something from the Roadrunner
cartoons, or the Beano and Dandy comics of
my youth, but it's all worth doing, as you said,
"every day in every way..."
Saludos,
Bob.

That's really neat! It's straight from the Beano or the Pink Panther cartoons perhaps.

Only done a couple of "serious" animations - i.e. something other than splodges splodging larger and smaller! - one, for a cousin's website, is a subtle thing with a quill writing the company name (a technique I found on Xara of course). Been thinking about trying again - the waterfall would be a good practice thing. Thanks for suggesting it

John

ps off topic a bit, but do you know if I can keep the clip view for an animation, or add a clip view to the animation?

Not as easy as you two make them appear to be. Very nice work Bob and John.

[handrawn]

Bob another great challenge

All good so far - quick one from me:

[iamtheblues]

The font used in your flower stem looks familiar, John. Is It Knight's Quest?
Thanks for your comments Bill and Steve. I like the way youve substituted part of the "N " for the cockpit. Appropriate fill, too. Steve, typeface is very apt, and the result is in your recognizable style. All good work.
I hope the file size of mine isn't too large.
Saludos,
Bob.

Ok Steve - I must be having a brain dead moment (read "week"). I can't make out what that is ....
