< You can find the password for the ZIP file in the exclusive Fireball supporter chat! >Helloo!! π The second support reward for this month has been completed.This character is a Team Fortress 2-based OC that I created a very long time ago.At the birthday request of my longtime friend, I remade a drawing I made in 2018.The first image uploaded in this post is the one I drew today, and the second image is the one I drew in 2018. (There hasnβt been any dramatic improvement over the past 8 years...π)
After finishing this piece, I originally planned to slowly learn an animation program that supports rigging and practice with it, but I ended up making far more parts than I expected, and I decided it would be too difficult to use as practice material. So Iβm planning to start practicing later with a much simpler drawing. π
In any case, this piece was originally made for rigging practice, so every body part is on a separate layer.I thought some supporters might be curious about how GIF animations are made, so I extracted each part as an image and saved them in a ZIP file to show how the layers were separated. π
Unlike a normal drawing, I have to draw each part wider than usual by taking into account the areas that will be covered by other parts. Because of that, it takes more time than usual to finish just one illustration.Then I have to separate everything into layers, and it takes even longer because I need to turn other layers semi-transparent or invisible on and off while working so I can see the hidden parts.
Ah... this explanation got very long. π€π¦I think itβll be easier to understand if you see it directly rather than just hearing an explanation!Please check the ZIP file attached below. π₯°
