First Things First

It is my privilege to be able to help #steem-cartoon create a GIF for their logo. I wanna thank

Hive account@sireh, founder of #steem-cartoon &

Hive account@perennial, co-founder for giving me this opportunity to be part of the community.

Hive account@sireh's vision for #steem-cartoon is a noble one and I too believe and fully trusts his vision.

Hive account@sireh wants to help budding and seasoned artist find better income due to the exploitation of the creative industry in Malaysia. A lot of veteran artists are struggling to find a decent paying job, what more the new ones. With the guidance of

Hive account@perennial, who is a seasoned Steemian, he has contributed in the growth and management of #steem-cartoon, focusing on workshops and individual development among the community. For me, I am just a small tiny fraction of the community, a GIF animator.

#steem-cartoon GIF Logo

The Idea

I just wanted a simple animation for the #steem-cartoon GIF. With that in mind, I decided to use the logo word 'steemcartoon' as the 'branch' for the owl to land. If you've followed

Hive account@perennial's blog before describing about 'wo-owl', which is the name of the mascot, you would know that the mascot represents all the artists in #steem-cartoon. Working day and night tirelessly to get that perfect art. The mascot represents the people, artists, seasoned or amateur. I made the logo word appear first because, when artists come on Steemit to blog about their art,

they did not have a community that they can call their own.

Hence, the #steem-cartoon word logo appearing first because that is what #steem-cartoon is all about. The foundation to be a community where artists can feel belong. To be able to share ideas, artwork and even support one another on Steemit. Most importantly, to create a tight-knit community support because it is very hard to survive as an individual artist out there. Artists can rely on #steem-cartoon.

Wuaaaalahhh!! And this is the thought process creating this GIF animation for #steem-cartoon. I hope you love it, and I wish #steem-cartoon all the best in expanding to many wonderful talents out there.
