What it is: This is a simple six-frame cartoon with the same motion on repeat for about 2 minutes and 54 seconds.

How to do it: First, I opened MSPaint. I drew Alessa Mystinar, my webcomic OC (Original Character) standing in the Caramel Dansen pose. I then saved it, redrew over it slightly making sure the image was in the same place, and tilted her hips slightly in the next picture, and saved that. I made a third image of her tilted even more, saved that one. I then flipped the three images so I won't have to draw separate images for the next three frames of animation.

Next, I opened Windows Movie Maker and dragged the files into the file dump. I put in all the files I was going to use including the Caramel Dansen MP3 song. I drag the frames individually to the time list, then I adjusted each frame with the effect of "Speed Up Double" as many times as the effect is allowed to be applied. The reason this is done is otherwise the movement is too slow, as Windows Movie Maker is usually meant for family photograph slideshows for a projector presentation.

Finally, I copied and pasted the frames over and over til the timer reached the end of the MP3 file at exactly 2:54. I saved the file on my hard drive, and uploaded it to Youtube with the appropriate descriptions.

I hope you enjoyed this article and found it very informative. Til next time, comrades!

Apparently a UFO was spotted over China a few days ago from the time of posting. It looks pretty scary. Not sure if this is a natural phenomenon we don't know about yet, man-made, or even visitors from beyond, but looks pretty fucking serious.

An old school boxer has challenged Randy "The Natural" Courture to a fight, August 28th in Boston. This guy is nicknamed "Lights Out" and is a heavyweight champ. But the question is, does he have what it takes to take down a seasoned MMA fighter like Courture?

We all clearly know the effectiveness of boxing. MMA has a much wider range of techniques though, and if "Lights Out" is limiting himself to just boxing, he'd better hope he takes Courture out before he's taken to the ground.

What do you guys think - is "Lights Out" going to put down Courture, or is he getting in way over his head thanks to his ego?

Nasa announces that a Solar Eclipse shall be passing over and temporarily darkening Easter Island. Many websites are trying to sell this of course offering tourists trips to go see the island as it passes through the eclipse.

Sounds like it'd look pretty badass, also sounds like the prelude to a horror film.
