This was a very quick study. I tried to make it as fast as I could. The initial image came under an hour, but animation took several more days. (mostly because I kept thinking it'll look even better if I move some more parts 🤓

I rendered the house and the foreground pretty quick. It felt too fast tbh (an unpleasant habit from the past when I was just learning to draw as a teen).

Here I added a separate layer with foreground grass blades to create a wind animation.

A bland sky wouldn't work for this composition so I thought adding a huge Cumulus cloud would make it more interesting.

It still look kind of strange so I went ahed and added side clouds... At this point I should have noticed I'm adding too many things that would be effected by a wind animation...

Here I got carried away and animated the clouds getting decimated by the wind...until I realised it'll get even too complex so stopped... Added a light flicker on the barn, or perhaps its a tiny light house?

The amount of frames was getting out of hand, so I went back and reanimated the clouds and cut the frames down to 11.
This is one of those works I might come back to later to and update the animation with something smoother when I have no other ideas.

Have you tried complex environment animations before?

Tools: Aseprite, mouse, and some hotkeys.

Sunday afternoons look fun :)

Reminds me of ZX Spectrum graphics and animations 😍

The great classic 8bit art...I'm not that good yet :D this is 16 bit.

@gtg | March 22, 2023, 8:37 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

No, it's actually even less than 8bits, it looks like 16 colors. 8bits is enough to represent 256 different colors (i.e. 28)

@pxlmitsu | March 23, 2023, 2:33 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

yep, 13 colors in this one :)

Cool!

I assumed the light flicker was a weathervane.

Good idea! I should totally make a weathervane study :D

I'd pay you good HIVE for a piece to add to my website. Maybe something cooking, or a speaker equalizer.

What do you say to that??

something cooking as in????

@thatkidsblack | March 21, 2023, 7:56 p.m. | Votes: 0 | [ VOTE ]

A burger on a grill! Or clam chowder or even chili in a pot. I also like the classic frying egg in pan. Maybe that, a frying egg in a pan.
