A small exercise in whimsy today! For my card project I am experimenting with animation and gif optimisation techniques so I thought I'd try and animate a sequence of watercolour panels of a caterpillar turning into a butterfly. The different panels are supposed to show different times of the day. I almost like the still drawings more than the moving bit! I find working with water based paints rather meditative!
Here are the individual panels:
And here the small result :)
It doesn't always have to be scantily clad girls or burly dudes. Sometimes my drawings can be a little bit more subtle too! :)
- I also encourage you to come by our Steem Artists Discord Channel. There is a pretty sweet community emerging around #steemartists with talent worth supporting methinks.
back to the drawing board,

ohhh it's so pretty~~ love it. <3
I think in this case the gif could use to be just a taaad slower. I think part of what makes the still images nicer in this case is that the gif timing isn't suuuper spot on. but then these are sort of calmer compositions so it's almost better anyway to kind of... contemplate a bit.
So I suppose I agree with you in the end. :P
Have you tried doing a gif in photoshop instead of premiere btw? with simple image sequences like these it works pretty well, and you'd save yourself the extra step of converting it because photoshop can export a gif directly..
permit me to link you up to the useful little reminder tutorial I found. I once did an entire storyboard animatic in photoshop, so I knew the thing existed, I'd just forgotten where.. ^^"
anywho, lovely work as always my bro<3

I love the different backgrounds, that so simply and elegantly show the change of day time and seasons, you can really feel it turning from winter to spring!

Hihi, often the simplest tools are the most effective! I'm not great at step by step animation so I gotta improvise and keep it a bit more abstract ^^

Only painting, little thinking. I'm usually better when I think less anyways. An exercise in tranquility if you will xD

This is lovely! And came out great. I love the attention of detail, as the sky continues to shift suggesting a change in season/time. Also butterflies are so fascinating, I've recently been overtly obsessed with them & moths.
