jiggle

holy crap you guys are super freaking NICE the nicest ever. ;__;

some of you are asking how I did my snow gif

Heres a shitty sketch I did beforehand to see if the theory could work with my cartoony style. I’ve only seen this kinda gif with photos so I thought cartoons might look a little derpy

It worked well enough, so I proceeded to do something nicer and cleaned up

Basically it’s one drawing tweaked into 2 unique frames. Slap some nice lineart up there, duplicate it, and then get to tweaking your duplicate. Set it up so you can turn your top layers visibility on and off like animating in a flipbook. Subtly push and pull certain areas of the lineart until it appears to be sliiiiightly rotating in a direction.

Looks cool with just two frames but you can also fudge a third in-between hybrid frame by laying one layer on top of the other and decreasing it’s opacity and then flattening them both.

now go draw cool gifs cuz I wanna see em

My Favorite Latin Phrases Pt.4

prima facie

and the best for the last which I read in a blog;

in girum imus nocte et consumimur

we enter the circle by night and are consumed by the fire (read the Latin sentence backward, it's actually a palindrome!)

If you have more to add, please do it happily. I would love to learn about your favorite phrases, no matter what language they belong to. Because I think, the choice of words of a person tells a lot about them.
