Animation Samples

Here are some animations I did for Mega Man:

Mega Man Running (I made him green & orange)
DarkMega
Wood Style Mega Man swinging a sword
Custom Style Mega Man (Heat, Aqua, Elec, Wood)
Guts Style Mega Man (Heat, Aqua, Elec, Wood)
Shield Style Mega Man (Heat, Aqua, Elec, Wood)
Team Style Mega Man (Heat, Aqua, Elec, Wood)
Wood Custom Mega Man Buster


All animations were done using GIMP. I'm hoping to showcase some Fire Emblem sprite animations, as my brother wants me to start doing some for him.

Welcome!

Hello, world! Welcome to my blog. I hope you enjoy your time here. So what should be my first post? An introduction is in order here. So, here goes:

My name is Orion. I was given the name O Dog by my boss at work, and I wholeheartedly embraced it. Professionally, I work in accounting. That is what I went to school for. Personally, I'm an avid gamer & technology enthusiast. I have a YouTube channel that, at the moment, contains mostly boss battles from the Mega Man Battle Network series. One day I hope to do a Let's Play series on a game. My favourite series of games includes: The Legend of Zelda; Mega Man (any of the series, but Battle Network is #1 for me); Sonic the Hedgehog; Final Fantasy; and, of course, Super Mario. I have been gaming for well over 20 years, so since I was 5. So I have seen a lot of changes in gaming from the old days of 8-bit NES to now.

So what will you see on here? Mostly gaming-related stuff and various animations/photo editing using GIMP, the free, Open Source answer to the other popular photo-editing software that has now become a verb. You know what I'm talking about.

Anyways, that's it for now. Hope you enjoyed my little intro here. Catch you later :)
