Hey everyone!,
I'm trying to create my first app for the app store but I am not very good when it comes to doing my art and i have bought art packs, but i have hit a road block. I need a friendly experienced art editor to take the picture below and create a sequence out of it in illustartor so that i can animate it to make waves. Thank you very much who every can help me, I appreciate it.
I didn't realise this image was already designed to be animated - just scroll them - looks much better. :)
(no need to flip)

------- BELOW = OLD -------------
Not sure what animation you want - but you could flip the image horizontally in your game - then scroll them together.
I put this quick jsfiddle together to show the effect - this is a super quick demonstration of the effect only and uses just plain html.

Warning to anyone looking at the html, marquee tag is depricated and you can't remove the gap at start or between - to do it properly you need to use javascript.
I only did it like this because it was so quick. :)
just my 2 cents. You have 3 layers, a back, a middle and a front.
I would move the front to the right, the middle to the left and the back to the right at about 1/2 speed of the others.
Are you asking for someone to actually produce an animated GIF (or something like that) for you?

Hello guys,
Thanks for all the feed back. I'm using a program to develope a IOS, Android, Windows app to animate it and it uses a sequence of how ever many .png pictures you have for the sequence and plays it in order with a certain set framerate so that it appears to be moving but really its just like a bunch of pictures. Since im terrible at making game art, i use outside sources to get it and i don't own Illustrator where these pictures are made, i was wondering if one of you could use Illustrator to create the opposite humps for this image so when i play it in a sequence it goes up and down. Thanks for the comments and i appreciate all the help.
not to throw it back at you, but you don't need to use Illustrator for this.
If all you need are PNGs, there are plenty of freeware programs out there that could work just as well.
GIMP and Paint.NET come to mind.
Just decide how many frames you want and literally create the animation frame by frame by moving the pixels about and saving each frame out as a new PNG.
To make it easier for yourself, start with just one wave moving up and down over a few frames (3-4).
Shouldn't be too hard and you'll be learning a skill to last a lifetime ;)
