I've been in an animated .gif mood lately.

Click on the attachment, and it will enlarge a little to full size, and the animation will run...

...Or not...

-If you like The X-Files and late Roman history, I've got a treat for you:

The Hookah Smoking Man of 420 AD.

He's a widely-traveled investigator/operative for a clandestine department of the Vatican. -He also ain't quite right in the head.

Derrick Man, UI Programmer.

I found a much better copy of the GIMP icon, and decided to transfer an improved version of that animation to Luis Medina, who does assorted 2D art things for Mohawk.

Something different for Mark Shahan is waiting on some 3D images from Mylochka, 'cuse they're a bit beyond me to do well...

Here's Dale w/ Australian Orientation corrected.

-This is what I've got for now, waiting on Mylochka, still, before I'm finished with a new Mark Shahan animation and this project for now...

Dale's grin is a nice touch. :D

It does, it simply is way beyond the scope of the others you posted.

The shield-as-bird worked out really well...

I may re-do that one, mostly because it's tiny compared to the others...

Title: Re: Mohawk Art
Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 16, 2023, 03:55:05 AM

Mostly Mylochka's work...

Nice coin. ;)
Now, with proper handgrips on the back this could indeed be called a shield!  :P

It's not finished.

-I'd intended to add straps, then decided not to when I saw it assembled, and now I have to...

I'll get back to work now, sir.  :salute:

Post by: Buster's Uncle on August 18, 2023, 10:49:38 PM

For several reasons, this one was a lot of extra work -there was an extra non-rotating loop around the wireframe stuff that I had to erase over and over, both emails had about 1/3rd of the frames out of order, which took a while to sort, the solid parts had way too many frames, which took a while to sort- I'd have dropped dead of exhaustion if I'd bothered with the straps...

Nice work.

Half done - not least because I'm not entirely sure where I want it to go...

Incidentally?

I posted all the portrait animations two Fridays back on AC2's Facebook - yesterday morning, the President of Mohawk Games commented "These are absolutely amazing".


-What would a swelling with pride smilie look like?  I imagine there'd be some swelling involved...
