My first animated Bird on Gold was realeased on superRare.co. It had been a while since I had minted a Bird on Gold; that series was put on hold as I felt it needed something extra. I think adding animation was the key to bring it to the next level.
THE NFT
The NFT was sold as a rare 1/1 edition on SuperRare
PROCESS TIME-LAPSE+ NFT VIDEO
This piece was drawn traditionally with my usual tools: a fountain pen, Sumi ink & watercolors, and gilded with a gold sheet.
It was then broken down digitally into parts, the outlines were reinforced, and the missing parts were filled with Photoshop.
Finally it was re-composited and animated with Animate.
I also decided to make my first time-lapse NFT with SuperRare, titled "From line to life". I always thought the process was as important as the final piece so I took the decision to start minting my time-lapses. I really hope there is some interest in this type of NFTs.
REFERENCE & INFO
The Scarlet Robin is s a common red-breasted Australasian robin. The species is found on continental Australia and its offshore islands, including Tasmania.
As you can see this time I deviated a lot from the reference picture of this Scarlet Robin.
I only use reference pictures for the first draft of my drawing, then play around with proportions and structure to make the bird look as appealing as possible.
Thatยดs it for today, I hope you enjoyed my birdie; I think Iยดll animate more of these, itยดs a nice break from my skulls.
As a final note, I gotta say that I had lost all drive and pleasure to animate and CryptoArt really brought my passion back, I had a blast adding animation to my last pieces.
Thanks for being an awesome and supportive community, cryptoArt ftw!๐๐
Be fucking awesome to each other,
Skeenee!
