🎬 Funky animated GIF - "Dotted Journey"
A few days ago, Ann Marie Alanes from Makersplace announced, that they submitted the community to the #The100DayProject
For 100 days, she is giving out an inspirational phrase to the creators of @Makersplace on discord every day. Then everyone has 24 hours, to submit a creation that fits the theme.
For "FUN WITH DOTS", I created "Dotted Journey", based on my painting "Journey II", which I shared with you here a little while ago.
In Photoshop I cropped the part I wanted to use.
Following the method described by TastyTuts, I created the dot overlay for my piece. I then made a group of my original layer and one with the dots. Added a mask to the layer with the dots and cut out three circles, so the unchanged painting in the layer below could be seen.
After I duplicated that group with the two layers a number of times, I changed the circles in each group. Then all the groups were reduced to layers, which I could use as a sequence of pictures for an animated gif.
Of course I was thrilled, when I saw that my piece was chosen as the winning entry for that day!
You can see the original GIF in my MakersPlace store

Also, the “events” in February exhausted me to the point, that I lost all joy in being involved.

This is really cool @reinhard-schmid and I am so out of the loop with discord (I uninstalled it) and maker's place (have every intention to get back on and share more work) but I'm dealing with a big buildling project, so that eats up the entire day :/
I'm happy to see you at it though and I'm sharing this one :)
Wow great work! I still have to update my makersplace store... :S
This is cool! I'm glad to see your work in nTopaz! =)

idk what you use to create your animated GIF (myself, I only have the "cheap" version of Adobe Photoshop), so I rely on free on-line services. Tried many, and this one is the best (no ad or watermark on it):

I use mainly Adobe software... after many years of getting used to it, I'm reluctant to learn new apps :-/
Gifmaker looks good though, I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the link :-)
