Daily little dragon companion
So..
BlackAures revived something back from the early 2000s. Those little, annoying companions that wiggle over your screen, attack your mouse and try to get your attention... but with a twist! It's our own characters!
I was really struggling with thinking of a way to show it off here since it's a program. Of course I could take a screencapture, but I can't upload it to here and it might be too long for someone to really watch. While I had another idea, it was a bit hard to realize for me. There are still images in the program that it animates itself when it needs them, so I needed to make transparent gifs with timing out of them... Don't ask how long I took for them to really animate together, all in one image at a time... Just.. don't ask. I might know a few things here and there but let me tell you... After Effects and GIFs don't work well together...
It might not show every animation and not the actual use of it, but
BlackAures Over Here, showed it off quite well in the linked videos in their description.
So Shadow walks, jumps and flies over all my three screens, trying to chase the mouse cursor. Even attacking it and open windows from time to time, while interrupting his game from time to time to eat, sleep and clean his wings. With every full hour he tells me the time and... He even shouts threats at me! Just like the real Shadow! I just love it!
Well yeah, it sometimes might annoy me, when it attacks the cursor while I'm playing a game and right when aiming at someones head to land a good shot, the mouse just vibrates completely all over the screen, but... that's life living with a small virtual dragon that really wants your attention but you can just make him stop, opening up the settings menu and just leaving it open as that pauses him, but psssh... don't let him know or he might find a way around that too D:

Hehe glad you like my idea of at least showing off your work a little, with something as specific as a skin for a program :P
But I am just too proud of it to not show it to anyone :D
But one thing I am glad about this program is, that it can't click your mouse.. How often would Shadow have sent a message before finishing or bought something by accident when he attacked my mouse xD I rather lose my killstreak in COD as he attacks while I'm aiming, than to buy stuff by accident xD So it's good that he can't force the mouse to click xD
P.S.: I know D: I'm doomed! but I'm fine with it~

It is a program and you can add your own frame-by-frame animation images to it and it variates between them. It can tell you the time, attack your mouse cursor and taunt you here and there.
BlackAures made the animation images for me and also provided me with the program, but I think it is a free program and it comes with a few standard companions. If you want a more personalized one
BlackAures can do these quite well. But you could also try it yourself. I could send you the program and the files to check it out if you want.
You probably can use the animation images for other purposes as well, but they're not that big. Though if you were to upscale them you could probably turn them to Telegram Stickers or something too!
