they're byobuddies, I wish I could make that clearer in the render :smith:



making the cat choke up a pea is a v funny idea but might be hard to pull off. if kuskus wants it I might try my hand but it sounds kinda tricky.

Really good work Manifisto!

Thems some good sigs! I will probably go back to my old fall sig in a while, even if the year is off, just because it is so pretty (and the summer one really is too!). Of course it has to actually feel somewhat like fall here first, but now it's still in the triple digits every day.

i would like a sig of a servbot lost somewhere, around lots of big things -- if anyone would like to make. lost where? the woods? a warehouse? a theme park? a cave? a hedge maze? i don't know!

is it maybe better with the tray rotated, to make the pyobs more visible?

Make the pea roll into the other peas so it doesn't just disappear.

i can change the pumpkin pretty easily if you like a different pumpkin face

i wasn't sure if a background for bulbsaur would be good, or not, but i think i can add one if you want



smart people, how is that you make the gifs loop more smoothly?

edited for smoother gif thanks manifisto!

you can do it in a few ways, sometimes it's not easy no matter what you try.

if you have a longish gif, you can try to find a couple of frames reasonably far apart that are similar to each other, so the transition is less noticeable

you can also/separately fade the end of the clip into the beginning, so that there are a few overlapping frames. this can be done in gimp, it's a little involved but if there is interest I can explain.

sometimes you can duplicate the frames and reverse them, so the gif loops backwards and forwards. it really depends on the gif, sometimes that looks good, sometimes it doesn't.

if there are other techniques I'd love to hear them!

Manifisto


here is the falling leaf gif (or a similar one I found) in which the end is dissolved into the beginning over four frames.

Manifisto


what the heck, here is a simplified example that shows the concept.



basically, if you are starting with an 8 frame gif, if you dissolve it over three frames you'll end up with a 5 frame gif. you can choose to dissolve over more or fewer frames, it's an artistic choice. I often go over 4 frames (that way the opacity neatly decreases by 20% in each overlapping frame: 80%, 60%, 40%, 20%).

to get this to work in gimp, you need to be sure to:

(1) unoptimize your source gif before doing anything else, you need each frame to be complete
(2) change the Image Mode to "RGB", the opacity overlay won't work in indexed color mode
(3) when I say "move" the frames, what I mean is that (in this example) you move layer 6 so it's directly above layer 1, set the opacity of layer 6 to 75%, then merge it down; move layer 7 so it's directly above layer 2, set the opacity of layer 7 to 50%, then merge down; etc.

the above is not a step-by-step, you need to be somewhat familiar with GIFs in gimp to do it

i will bookmark this for future attempts but for now i think i'll snag the one you dissolved

thank you!

here is one if someone wants it, i styled it off of one vanisher made me last year that i really liked



i can slow it down if desired and add a frame for a name/av

so here is a proof-of-concept version of the cat horking up the pea with the tray reversed



I know the two "cat horking" videos aren't right, but I'm not gonna put more effort in without some feedback from kuskus on which concept (if any) they'd like to see developed

i would like to have a non-yeared fall sig, please, in the same line of theme as my summer sig (which is incredible and never getting deleted from my sig, sorry y'all). i toss you some cash or otherwise make you cookies or buy you an av cert or something. whatever works for whoever is doing it. :love:

hamjobs I know u like punkins, do u want to be in a punkin



could probably be carved in any shape u like, within reason. e.g. could be an alpaca, or a weed leaf, or a bong, or a byobuddy, etc

i'm into this alpaca the most :swoon:

high falutin' concept here for maybe next year: a large alpaca poops out a pumpkin which then cracks to reveal a small baby alpaca which then grows up through a quick gif/montage and does the same thing, etc.

I would really like one, as and when! I would kind of like it to feature old doll's houses, it can certainly be creepy but doesn't have to be animated.

Thank you :)
