if you're going to mangle people's gifs for crackships, the very least you can do is give credit. at least three of my gifs are on here and i certainly don't give people permission to add them to other gifs and make it like they popped up on their own that way. i don't recognize anyone else's here but i'm assuming you stole those, too.

The silent art of gif making

The gif above has 32 layers plus 6 that aren't shown because this is part of a larger edit. I wanted to share it to give everyone a glimpse of the art of gif making and how long it usually takes for me to make something like this. This one took me about an hour and a half but only because I couldn't get the shade of blue right.

I use Adobe Photoshop 2021 and my computer doesn't have a large memory space (I don't know what to call it) so usually most of psds get deleted because I'm too lazy to get a hard drive. It doesn't really bother me that much because I like the art so when it's done, it's done. Off to somewhere else it goes.

Here are the layers:

Everything is neat and organized in folders because I like it that way. I prefer to edit it in timeline but others edit each frame. There's a layer not shown (Layer 4 is not visible) and it's the vector art. Here it is:

Now it is visible. I don't plan to make this a tutorial, but if you're interested I'd love to share a few tricks about it. I'm pretty new to the colors in gifmaking but the rest is simple to understand. Here, I just want to show how much work it takes to make it.

I opened Group 2 and here's the base gif. I already sharpened and sized it correctly but that's about it. Let's open the base coloring next.

Yay! Now it looks pretty! The edits are in Portuguese but it doesn't matter. There's a silent art of adding layers depending on how you want the gif to look but you get used to it. The order matters and you can add multiple layers of the same thing (for eg. multiple layers of levels or curves or exposure).

This was pretty much my first experiment with coloring so I don't know what I'm doing (this happens a lot with any art form but gifmaking exceeds in DIYing your way to the finished product) but I didn't want to mess up his hair, that's why the blue color is like that. Blue is easy to work with because there's little on the skin (different from red and yellow but that's color theory). I painted the layers like that and put it on screen, now let's correct how the rest looks.

I was stuck trying to get the right teal shade of blue so yes, those are 10 layers of selective color mostly on cyan blue. We fixed his hair (yay!) we could've probably fixed the blue on his neck too but I was lazy. This is close to what I wanted so let's roll with that.

BUT I wanted his freckles to show, so let's edit a little bit more. Now his hair is more vibrant and his skin has red tones, which accentuates the blues and his eyes (exactly what I wanted!). That lost Layer 2 was me trying to fix some shadows in the background but in the end, it didn't make such a difference.

This was part of an edit, so let's add the graphics and also edit them so they're the right shade of blue and the correct size. A few gradient maps and a dozen font tests later, it appears to be done! Here it is:

Please reblog gifsets on tumblr. We gifmakers really enjoy doing what we do (otherwise we wouldn't be here) but it takes so long, you wouldn't imagine. Tumblr is the main website used for gif making and honestly, we have nowhere to go but share our art here. This was only to show how long it takes but if you're new and want to get into the art of gif making, there are a lot of really cool resource blogs in here. And my ask box is always open! Sending gifmakers all my love.

the thing about stealing gifs that i don't think people get, is that a gif is a fanwork just as much as fanfic and fanart and fanvids are; created for the pure JOY and APPRECIATION of a visual media. no fanwork is more or less worth than the other.

yeah, i know it sounds hypocritical to be talking about "stealing" when we in fact, usually don't own the source material ourselves, but this is transformative work and we need to respect the creations fans make no matter how we choose to create it.

and by respect i mean ALWAYS reblogging things from the source if posted on tumblr. if you want to add your thoughts on something, please do! but in a reblog! and if you want to share something someone else made on another platform, make sure people know who made it. just straight up reposting something without credit makes people believe you are the creator, and that's not fair.

and please, while we're still here, please start reblogging the things you like. only liking posts won't help creators because there is no algorithm that pushes liked posts to your dashboard on this website. only reblogs do.

Hey idk if you know this yet but I've been seeing your gifs pop up on Pinterest along with my own without credit. I'm gonna start watermarking mine from now on. People don't fking listen.

thank you for the heads up! and yeah, it's why i don't really go on pinterest and why that site annoys me so much, people steal gifs all the time and don't credit. i'm not a fan of watermarking my own gifs (read: lazy) but thoroughly support other gifmakers doing it since our stuff gets stolen so regularly. so it's a good idea if it gives you peace of mind ❤️

and for any drive-by readers: 1) don't repost our gifs on other sites without credit, and 2) definitely don't repost things from pinterest when 99.9% of the gifs over there are stolen/posted without credit.
