Good day Hive!
I made some more animated 8bit art today that I want to share with you guys! I hope you enjoy them. The first one I'm sharing is a human male turning into an evil pig.
This certain animation has 8 different frames all in all, looped back so that the gif is seemless. I did it differently this time by combining multiple layers per frame. Before I was using 1 different layer per frame but for this one the layers needed to stack on top of each other for it to show the changes (for most part, not including the non-changing/moving ones).
So, I'm also sharing the layers I needed to animated the changes that happened on the head, face, and torso. You can check them out below:
If you pixelpeep here, you'd see that the previous layers are still used on the following frames. I really loved how evil this guy turned out but somehow still stays cute. If I would something in this animation it's going to be the background and the tail (the tails just moves into sight and is just consist of one layer, I would like it better if I can animate it like it's growing out of his behind instead).
Here's another one I did. This time it's a girl artist painting on a canvas. This animated 8bit art loops as well.
The hardest part on this piece is the paintbrush, since I had to make sure that it retains it's sharpness and pixels when I duplicated and rotated it, good thing I was able to do that by using vector shapes inside a smart object then applying unsharp mask on it after rotating it. Rotating a rasterized image will blue out the pixels and the paintbrush will lose it's detail. Having done that saved me time vs drawing all the pixels manually.
