whoa just found this program. and is fantastic for animating. Not as hard/bloated as flash, doesn't force monochrome sprites like pivot, just simple bone animation that works great.

thats my first shot. I lost a bit of my animation skill because I haven't animated in ages... but I will soon regain what I lost in time and be pulling out some nice sprites. :D
This isn't only for sprites, you can add bones to anything, you could get a photo, add bones and make it look like they are talking. xD

unfortunately the program is not free... there is a free version, i think it can't export over a certain amount of frames or something.
so perhaps give it a shot, its a lot less tedious that drawing every frame by hand... and will come out with better results too. :D

(But if you're a cheap pennypincher..... don't waste your time on the FREE vesion) :educated:
