You've heard of the Yule Log; this is the Eastern Star. Download it, loop it, and let it bring Light to your house.

In the East a Star Appeared...

It may not be Epiphany or Christmas, but it is the winter solstice and the turning of the Mayan cycle, so I think the wise men would approve.

Greet the Light.

It does have an on-end yule log look to it - after the egg nog, of course.


I wish I could do animation. Just so dang hard to learn the software.

haha

well, i actually started out pen on paper... just drew a bunch of spiraling circles. so other than the scanning software, i had an animation already.

then i did some other stuff...

there are a bunch of books/tutorials out there... but if you really wanna try to animate, you don't have to use any software at all (hand-drawn/stop-motion/cave-painting). experiment, it's fun!
