So, for quite some time now, I've had an idea for an animated avatar for my DA account. Something that I'd really like--and of course, it's origami-themed. Thing is, I have no experience whatsoever making avatars--and though I could probably figure out how to do the frames, I don't have any software that would allow me to put them together. So, I call on all you fabulous avatar makers out there for help! Of course, I would be only too glad to make this an art trade of some kind--a piece of origami for an avatar.

I suppose I should describe what I have in mind. Long story short, it's an avatar that folds itself into an origami crane and flies away, leaving a DA-gray background behind it. It starts out blank white (white sheet of paper). I made some quick sketches (I know what you're all thinking--OMG FRAZE DREW SOMETHING!), and I think it'll turn out to be about 40 frames, less if some of the details are cut out. If the maximum filesize for avatars permits it, I'd also like the grey background to fold itself into a crane and fly away as well--leaving the white background, allowing for the process to continue.

Does anyone think it can be done? If someone could make this for me (like I said, I could probably make some of the frames), I would be forever greatful. You can comment here, or send me a note. Either one works. Or both, if you're feeling particularly ambitious.

And, getting on to the second part of the journal update. Yup, I just finished my first week of sophomore year at university. It was amazingly hectic, as the first week has a tendency to be. I had to change majors (dropping my aerospace major, adding physics and math) in the first couple of days, which led to an incredibly complex series of schedule changes that I cannot begin to describe without employing the use of about two and a half extra dimensions. But things seem to be calming down now...thankfully.

That's it for now!
