Randowhale REDESIGNED ! (With Animation and Bubbles Included!)

in art •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hi everybody!

I don't plan to make a very long post this time, but a fast one straight to the point, so I hope you like it! =)

Last week when I submited a story showing the whole process of an illustration with Blizzard's World of Warcraft style and the @randowhale was just warming up for what would be a completely success, @kyriacos (the creator and designer of RW) dropped me a message on that post congratulating me and I told him that I would love to give a little bit more of love to his design.

I had a lot of job since then (both freelance and making good posts baby!) and I couldn't really focus on it.

But finally the time came!

(All the images are my own creation and so I own the rights of them. Only @randowhale and the team around it have my permission for using them)

I decided not only to make a re-design it, but also to proof myself that I could be able to do an animation with it! (even if it would be super-extra-duper-wubalubadubdub-simple). Here you man ! :

Hope you like it! I also made few different static shots in case that needed or the animation is too sh!%ty heavy for normal browsers (which I doubt because I optimized it. But still, here we go!:

And that's all! Except for the process that I prepared for you if you are curious guys ;)

randowhale_redesign_steps.gif

Not much to analyze, everything was already solved. I just added a little bit more of rendering to the original design and made it a little bit more chubby <3 ! If you don't believe me, check it on Kyriacos' blog!:

I hope you liked it!

I really enjoyed while doing it and since I like to teach with the example instead only words: I want to remind you a little message from my humble place about how to make a better and maybe perfect community: just give things away, and you will receive far more.

And I am not talking about physical things or compliments: give a little bit of your time to read the content that you are voting, and do it with criteria =).

This is an artwork in which I invested time and efforts just to improve the community (from my small space of participation in Steemit), at least in what I know at most.

And that is exactly what I want you to do

And so all of us will be able to get further. Let's change the things, for good =)

Bye!

jw is randowhale a bot/working on behalf of steemit or just a normal user like one of us?

He's just a normal user, who took the initiative to contact a whale, and set this whole thing up.

Basically, you can delegate Steem Power, so he built the rando-bot and got a whale to dedicate power to him, so that he could run this program.

Great idea; wish I'd thought of it...

Cg

Woha, I actually didn't know that! I hope @randowhale will notice this and update his/her image! After all, that's why I did it =))

aww man, that's one great design! too bad he's only for randowhale! I'd kind of also love using him for my WhaleBoT in the Whaleshares discord chat also! Regardless, great work, and animated too no less. Awesome work! :)

Well maybe WhaleBot can receive its very own ;)

After all... we can slightly modify the design of this one and make it for the WB :D

oh wow, that would be awesome, because you really did an amazing job with this, and he's really so adorable too! :)

wow are you on discord?

Yes! You can find me there @zeartul ! My nickname is the same =)

WhaleBoT keeps posting your randowhale animation imagining what he could also look like as a "live" anime whale in the "real world"! lol

Wait... what?

MAY I ASK .. How do I get more delegated power? I mean I have +72.616 but have almost 400in steem power. Is that okay or not?

I appreciate your answer sir!

Great piece of art, @anritco
I love @randowhale, and now he looks even better - hope will vote better too ))))

Hahaha We all do! RandoWhale didn't even upvote the post xD

Siiiiccck love it

Awesome artwork! (by the way, you're giving your permission to @ randowale there... ;)

Damn! Thank you so much for notice it! I will fix it immediately! Thanks again !

Hey, no problem! :)

Man I want to learn from you. I am totally in love with animation and made my own puppets. I even offer to sell them on Steemit. But I am not even close as good as you are. Can I hire you to draw me a puppet for my company? It is already designed but I need to put it in Adobe Character Animator.

Catch me in Steemchat so we can arrange something! My username is the same =)

I send you a PM there.

Did Steemchat finally get fixed? I miss that place

Yeah! I'm using it right now =)

really awesome stuff mate...haven't seen anything like this on steemit yet

Woha! That s a lot! Thanks!

This is great! When I first see your topic, I misunderstand that you are telling us they are going to resign. Thanks god it is just redesign! Haha.

Great

We can't stop here, this is whale country.

xD

Fantastic work love the Fear and Loathing in las Vegas spin - Resteemed. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot for your support @artwatch !!

This is very, very cool. I love the Hunter S. Thompson twist on the whale image, and seeing how you put it all together. Awesome work!

Wise words! Thank you so much for your compliments <3

Hahaha that looks so goofy and amazing at the same time. Clearly an improvement over the existing one! Great work @anritco ! Any chance you'd have the time to create a logo for me? I hate mine, and it actually even scares me, not to mention other people xD

I must say that it is a lil' bit creepy, but can be fixed pretty fast! Catch me in steemit.chat, same user name =)

It looks fantastic.
Glad you posted too, because I forgot who you were and really wanted to get you involved in my pixel art contest.
Do you think you might have time to take on this week's challenge?
Totally resteemed this btw

Super cool that you found me ! I've never tried pixel art before, but sounds challenging! Which I love! I will try to find some free time before the week ends and give it a try ;)

Thank you so much @jonny-clearwater

You have till Friday 6pm EST
Here's the original post for you... The theme is pretty good
https://steemit.com/art/@jonny-clearwater/pixel-art-weekly-theme-announcement-win-steem

Sup it eugene

Wow! Actually I really liked it! I will definitively participate ! Thank you so much man! Seems that my first pixel art EVER will ve for your contest!

I have a feeling you're going to do very well.
Pro tip...you can layer one of your colors on top of another, while still sticking to the rules of four colors. So if you choose the right four colors you can get more bang for your buck

Bonus points for animation... But all animations must be done through per pixel editing

Fear and Loathing in Las Veg.... oh sorry, in Steemit... ahahah i just love this man, super awesome, what program do you use? i´m following you now, i want more of this stuff, already addicted :P

Hahaha damn! thank you so much for that ! I always use Photoshop CC 2015 (gotta upgrade it !) from the scratch to the finish piece =)

I m being asked so many times about what program I use that i m thinking about making many a tutorials explaining how to use it and the little secrets that make my artworks look like they do =)

Awesome, i´m also using PS CS6 to do some designs :D so if you are ahead with the tutorials, pleeeeeasseeee let me know :D i would love to learn from you.

Yes Sr! I will plan something for next week ;)

Great work as always. What drawing pad do you use?

Thanks a lot @kiddarko ! I use an Wacom Intuos 5 medium size ! But I would love to have a cintiq!

Brilliant! You're really talented. I hate you. 😛

Ohh don't hate me! Actually I can (and I hope I will) help you to improve =))

It's all about the bubbles :)

Oh yes, feel the bubbles <3

I like your arts man , thanks for sharing with us.

After all the support I receive everytime... it would be a shame to not do it! Thank you ! =)

awesome stuff...liked it..keep posting

thanks! Will do !

Phew! I read Randowhale Resigned at first! Intimidate thoughts of where 50% of my blog take would come from entered my mind!

Flipping brilliant work here though!

Haha true! Thanks a lot !

Then I am amazed, you have an incredible talent, it's beautiful. You had to spend a lot of time to make this drawing. Bravo

  ·  8 years ago (edited)

Thank you! Actually it took me 3 to 4 hours from scratch with traditional animation included =)

I hope you liked it!

Are you kidding? It is amazing!

Thank you!

Much better than the original. Good job!

Ohh that's so cruel! haha

Oh dear God this is awesome! :D

I'm glad you liked ! @randowhale deserves the best ;)

Awesome! Love the animated eyes too! :)

Haha thanks ! I just wanted to do something soft =)

Wow amazing. I love your style mate! :D

Thanks a lot @w0olf !

This is so good. Wow. Very professional. You are an amazing illustrator. I have some ideas that I will be contacting you about hiring you for. Thank you!!!

Count on me! Find me in the steemit chat! My username is the same =)

Rad, thanks for sharing your process and your art, I'm digging @randowhale and the whole Steemit enviro. Rock on peeps!

Hahaha you said it man! :D

Man, it's like SteemitWorks Animation instead of DreamWorks Animation.

Awesome Work!

Keep STEEM N ON,
Frank

@randowhale I have a question. As far as I know after HF19 voting on a post that already has a bit of a payout amount won't increase the amount of the vote amount more than with a post with low payout value. Your vote stays the same no matter how much the post is currently worth.

Am I wrong or is there another reason why we should vote later on a post and not right away?

Also, I am seeing votes upwords of 2.5% did the rules change?

I recognized the Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas theme right away and love how you adopted it for your animation/design. That movie was pretty cool and you've created a super cool Steemit adaptation of it. I have a feeling that this place(Steemit) is a bit addictive, a lot of fun, a little confusing and a lot surreal, as your cute googly-eyed @randomwhale character suggests.

Beautiful description ! Thanks a lot and I m really happy that you like it! =)

So glad I found you on the hot feed today. Not sure how I missed your art all this time!! :) This is awesome.

Ohh thank you so much @laura ! Such a beautiful compliment! =)

Thank you for this! @randowhale appreciates it!

It been my pleasure and super fun to do! Keep Steemit improving just as you do =)

Hi @anritco - I just added the RandoWhale project to the front page of

WelcomeToSteemit.com / http://welcometosteemit.com/
. Thanks for the great tool! :)

Woha! I didn t know this existed ! So cool !

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :)

Nice Work @anritco! The evolution of @randowhale of the past 2 weeks (images updates, HF19, etc) has been fun to watch - and you just took it to the next level.

Thanks a lot! I'm glad to be part of it =))

The pictures and animations are very good. A question: why did you choose a fish? What does it mean?

En verdad es una ballena, y el randowhale es de hecho un proyecto que ya existia en el que le mandas 2Steem con el link de uno de tus posts, y te vota =)

I'm still not even sure who/randowhale is but i love the graphic. The updated version is super cool and shows off great against background!

I totally have to learn more about this stuff and quit being such an old dog!

Carry on man. I bet there's lots of steemians who would love to have a personalized mascot!

Cheers from thedamus

Your whales are dope mate. Respect for what have you done here, pretty animations.
Thanks.

Thank you! I really appreciate it! =)

Wow amazing job @anritco... I LOVE the F&L design for RW !

Animation looks good, this is great work!

Thank you! Even tho' this is my first animation ever? :P

Yeah man, especially because it is your first

Love your version of it, as well as the original. Good job! I'm definitely resteeming this, as well as upvoting, hoping that more people can see your creative work and help you get the reward that you deserve :D

Aww thank you so much !! <3

great work!

Thanks man! I love your blog! Keep the cool flowing! =)

awsome read :)

You're a star!! Awesome work with the animation

Haha I wish I was! Thank you!

How awesome is that. I just want a cartoon of myself. Nothing animated. Can you recommend someone or do you do that type of work?

If the paid is good, the monkey can dance any kind of music =)

That is the sweetest animation & what a cool creation process!

Ohh thank you <3

Welcome ❤

I Love Hunter S. Thompson and before I even got to the bottom where you show the "Fear and Loathing in Steemit" I knew exactly who you were referencing. I have a mad affinity for Hunter S. Thompson and of course Ralph Steadman who illustrated Fear and Loathing - and is by far of my most favorite illustrators of all time. Great job - I freaking love your work - I can't get enough!

Thank you so much! I must say that I've never saw that movie, but I know it because of the super exaggerated angles of the camera and of course Johnny Depp! I think I gotta see it since it seems to be a classic after all !

Yes! Oh my gosh, if you haven't seen that movie, that is now your homework! Lol But you captured Hunter so well in your whale, I knew it instantly and I adore him.

Hahaha okay okay, will do! I feel like I missed a lot xD

Your lines seem good! I see you really like anime style. However I think you can push it even further and get even better =)

wubalubadubduuuub! love this - but dude ....make a rick and or morty whale!!!!!

Oh man, that s something HUGE !!!

Wow, that is amazing work man

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!

Great design and animation wow! Keep up the good work :)

Thanks a lot @vallesleoruther !

The logo looks awesome. I prefer the static ones though. Resteemed :)

Thank you so much! (And honestly, me too... I think this is my very first animation ever !)

I first read: Randowhale resigned. Absolute mini heart-attack.

Great work. Hopefully it will take off.
