Vector animation loop

 

heres the final version of my vector animation project. a looping fight scene with two characters taken from sprite sheets of a naruto video game.

 heres a site i found when looking for was to make a navigation menu with images: sexy css hover buttons
it involves using class and id selectors to name the unordered list and the different instances of the list items inside it so that they can be customized individually, i.e the list item itself, the link inside that list item and then the hover instance of the link (what happens when you hover over the link with the curser)

heres a screenshot of some of the code :D

Change of plans.

Much Cleaner Stripes Youve Got There!

An even better striped background generator, much nicer i think :)

Even Better Pattern Maker

I found yet ANOTHER online generator!
this one is a small web app that lets you create patterns, edit color, scale, opacity and even canvas texture :)
this one IS similar to the other pattern but i think its slightly better because its free to download the hi-res image you make and it gives you a live preview one he page itself (the other one let you download a png but not a hi-res image.)

Pattern Cooler Patterns

heres a handy little pattern maker that i stumbled across. it lets you choose from a pre-made example, edit the color scheme, choose the size of the pattern to repeat and then download a .png file of the pattern which you can use. all for free!

i think i might even use one as a background for my website.well see how it goes :)
