Ive only ever made a 16×16 pixels tiny boat animation until now... but holy shit am I glad I got this idea, It came out so good!! Especially since its my first time using a 128x128 canvas-
Edit: Why is it blurry? ;O;
Edit 2: Attempted image reupload with different size
Edit 3: I give up- see HQ version here!
Process Info below! Includes my refs, some notes, and my previous attempts at drawing the Baira, progress images, Ill also put the first animation I ever made as a reference.
It was a PAIN to draw the rig, mainly because of the cranes base and Derrick legs ;v;
Basic Info on the Piece
Program & Device: Pixel Studio Mobile phone.
Frames: 16
FPS: 0.15
Layers: 18(there were no folders to organize then either ;O;)
Canvas Size: 128×128
Time: Started at approximately 10:50 AM and finished at 5:21 PM, took one short brake, so I'll guess around 4-6 hours? The app doesnt record time taken.
Stages & Process
I made around 6-10 different attempts at drawing the rig, I didnt think to save most of them, but with the first 2 I used them as a base to build on and make a new and bigger one, so I saved those two! They will be very tiny though cause I didnt save them as full-size images.
I may or may not have forgotten to animate the water in the back- but I kinda like it that way.
I miss having a blur tool like I have on Ibispaint ;v;
Honestly, within the actual animating process, the water was the most difficult thing to animate, I initially was gonna draw unique waves for every frame, but that looked bad so I made a layer of waves that looked decent and used the manipulation tool and added/removed lines to and from the waves
First attempt on a 32×32 canvas
Kinda looks like a turret gun-
Was too small to work with, was basically scrapped since I only expanded/used the legs.
Second attempt on a 64×64 canvas
I made it too thin and too tall, didn't have room to expand the width, but used it as a reference to build the final product, the left(<-) side was kept almost the same and is on the final product with many improvements.
Unanimated finished piece
I almost left it unanimated- but Im glad I did animate it, still love it in a still version though!
Baira D without the animation, background, and effects, 128×128
Its a bit ugly when nude like this lol
I was able to eyeball it for most of the colours and got all the colours I wanted just from looking at a ref
I can see many flaws on it, such as the body being a bit short, the helipad looks a bit weird, and the off tilt of the crane, but they were things I couldnt fix without pulling the whole thing apart, and since they arent extremely apparent and dont make it look bad, I didn't bother to try and fix it more.
The parts Im proudest of flare stack, the actual animated version, the layering of colours, and the underig, which I think looks really good! I kinda love the lights in the animated version and the fog too.
You guys are free to use these and the finished piece as a asset in your own art, profiles, etc. So long as you credit me and don't use it commercially!
Also! If you use anything of mine please feel free to @ or pm me! Id love to see what you used it for!
Scrapped Ideas
• Was going to make the flame have a sudden burst, but didnt know how to make it look good without t looking weird
• Helicopter flying away, scrapped due to not being good for a looping gif, thought of doing it with it returning, but it would've been too tiny, plus the helicopter blades would be a pain.
• Individually glowing windows/lights, thought it after I already finished animating the lighting, so I left it, plus it'd take forever to change every individual light in each frame.
• The shape glow or creeping up, scrapped due to difficulty, I might try and make an alt version with this idea though! I also kinda want to make a version with the rig falling apart but I have no full-rig refs.
• Audio with ambient swtd sound effects or music. Didnt do because Im not paying for the pro version of the app and I wanted it to be a gif not an mp4.
• Movement of loose rig parts, crane, etc. Too complex for my first time animating this big.
• Waving and/or active drill. I have no idea how to do this, plus the same reason as the previous idea.
• Mini coloured rig. Was going to make it on a 16×16 canvas for a cute lil animation. Well... look at the finished piece and you know why that was scrapped. Also, couldn't find a coloured rig picture even though I sware I had one-
• Brighter flare stack. I have no idea how to make it look brighter so I gave up-
• More layers and detail. Nuh uh, I was going to make it more details and have more distinguised features, but that's would've taken (more)hours. ;v;
• More environnental effects such as weather, more water details, etc. I liked it how it was so I stopped adding more.
•Further from the rig. The rig ended up much bigger then I intended, and took the whole canvas, Im glad it did though, the water would've been so painful to animate.
References
Rig reference
Had this up during the whole process! I got it from the SWTD official website(I think-)
The angle definitely made things a little awkward, but it worked out! I also used it to reference what colours to use.
First animation I ever did! Has two versions! stormy and calm.
While I work on the comic, I haven't posted much but I've been doing a few sketches. I need to do more on the side
Here's a Muir sketch. Part of the character study I'm doing. I'm super happy with this sketch Actually super pleased with this one. I'm still working on the rest. You get those soon.
The first time I saw the gameplay (which was from jacksepticeye) I was rlly enamoured by the character building and the setting and honestly jst the concept of the game. I rlly loved the whole story and the ending and I genuinely couldnt stop thinking about the game for like a month (lowkey still cant 😭)
