Pixel_adventures

Hi!~

So one thing led to another and I started to do these pixely thingys for a Twitter daily events called Pixel_Dailies.

Pixel_Dailies tweets every day a theme and then people draw stuff.

Here's what happened to me:

The first theme was to take three random elements from three lists. One from each. I got "fat, angry, facial hair."

Hmmh. This gon' be good.



Yeah, looks pretty dope. Has a story that makes the guy to express anger. Cool beans.

Here's what I did wrong:

That thing is 54 frames long.

At some point in future I might use phrases(?) like "frames" and "frames per second".

Frame is an other word for a picture. "FPS" means how many frames are presented in one second, hence making an animation.

I think I just murdered English language again with poor ass explanations.

Now there's a habit starting to develop to a hobby.

Anyway.

54 frames is a LOT. It makes stuff messy looking and hard to control for the maker.

I got super exhausted and did not color or clean up the animation.

Needles to say, lotta mistakes were made and learnt from.

As it should be.



Next day was Hellboy theme.

Hellboy is this angry looking fella. With broken horns, life and attitude.

I think.

Not too familiar with him.

This guy:

 

I think I did pretty solid job. the skull has many layers and stuff.

So what happened was: I did not make animation. I colored. I made the picture low resolution.

Hmmh.

It's cool, yet pretty boring and plain. Right?

Right.

Onto next day. Next opportunity.



First off. The theme was Gandhi. Pretty "outta nowhere", wouldn't you say?

This is what I came up with:



Two frames, color and a man on a mission.

And people liked it! :D

There's still a long way to go for sure.

I still consider the last animation a big success for my personal record.

And Now I know that if I want to develop, everything I do must be with maximum effort!

It's maybe easy to think of. To give ones best shot all the time.

I thought I did just that before.

Now I know I didn't.
