I just saw Sarah's webcam pic on DA. Seems she knows flash well enough to make pretty good animation and make it look smooth

I used motion tween in ImageReady ^^; It only really consists of three images.

Very cool animation test. Nice expression on Kim's face and good secondary action with her hair. And the eye blink on head turn makes it very convincing. Only thing I would point out is that it doesn't look like her sunglasses follows the axis of her head. They kinda float in space above her head. Other than that everything looks pretty good. I can't wait to see more of your animations. Makes me want to do a few myself.

You can like try Flash for 30 Days. That's more than enough to make a simple cartoon. Nice Motion tweening Levelord. Though if you use Flash, it would need more than just 4 frames to do that. 4 Frame is as fast as you can blink.

I am so jealous >.> Well, the flash program was given to me as a farewell gift from my friend who was leaving to Australia. Anyway, it's a pirated-type version. Pretty much 99% of CDs in my country are pirated anyway. It's impossible to even buy an original CD/program/game even if you're trying hard to look for it. So I guess it cost 10 Ringgit, which probably translates to... $3.00 .___.

Levelord, it looks like you're getting a ghosting effect in your animations. When you scan your images into flash next time, though you might want to ink them first, use the trace bitmap utility in flash. It's a really simple way to make all off the lines crisper, and more flash friendly. Also, once you've traced the image, it makes for an easier and neater job of selecting Kim's body parts and converting them to symbols. Converting them to symbols makes it easier to manipulate them.
And all this from a noob who doesn't know anything.. sorry if I'm only talking about stuff you already know..
EDIT: When I was doing some animation in flash, I first made the model sheets like you did and drew some of the tween motions in myself in various part's of the character's body.

If you're a noob then I must be a super noob because I have no idea what you just said hehe... I didn't use flash for this I used photoshop... I have no idea how to use flash... all those shiny buttons and I don't know what they are for.

www.sendspace.com/file/8ursf3(requires Flash Player) It seems a little too fast, 'coz I'm running on 32fps and only have about 24 frames. I could have tween it better, but I needed more than just 4 pics for frames.

Yeah, I only sent Luq 4 frames to work with, I'm happy about how smooth he managed to make just 4 frames. I have another 4 remaining frames I have to painfully color in.
The animation itself isn't the cartoon quality in terms of smooth body movement but it's smooth enough to make me happy. It's smoother than I anticipated.
