Drawn in Photoshop, animated in Spine Pro. The final art piece I made for my bachelor thesis on GIF as a medium for art.
I've been researching digital art in the context of modern folk art, outside institutional or commercial art. I analysed almost 500 art GIFs across Tumblr, Artstation and GIPHY.
There's almost no academic research on art GIFs, so it was important to me to examine and document it. I also examined the optimisation of GIFs and how it relates to web sustainability.
And because the bachelor program was focused on art practice, I then created my own art GIFs, and it seemed only right that I should do it through fanart of something I've been really into lately. Thanks @samreich and the rest of Dropout for giving me some unhinged content as inspiration. Watch 'Game Changer' everyone, it's great.
HERE I AM, COMING FROM THE WORLD OF THE DEAD WITH THAT SPOOKY RIZZ, a present to y'all and sr.pelo's incredible series
(I have been hyper focused on this series for so long that I learned how to do the fucking backgrounds, which I am terrible at in all the other art I do. Someone help me.)
