I was experimenting with turning Pixel art I've made into large images using Stable Diffusion when I had the thought of trying to turn the walk cycle of one of my OCs on Pony Town into a animation popped into my head.

The initial few attempts I did _{(cause with AI screeeeew doing one attempt and calling that that, I think I had generated 500 pictures by the end of it with my 3080 begging for the sweet relief of death)} was rough, Nausica still looking kinda blocky, clothes changing constantly, facial expressions changing constantly as well. The prompt I used ended up being a good 2000 word essay and it got… mostly all right. I interlopated it using RIFE to smooth it out and it turned out… alright for some crappy AI gif. Staring at it too long can still cause seizures but… I think it's decent?

There are probably ways of doing something like this with much better quality, some kind of… temporal method, but it beats me. This'll be the only one I make of these, the effort was not worth it, would have been faster straight up to just animate it by hand I reckon, even if I'm not the best artist in reality… Honestly, thinking about it, a light sketch and outline of it with some vague colouring in could have looked a bit better.
