I'm making custom animated gifs for fellow steemians. Perfect for leaving in your comments or adding to your posts. *UPDATED WITH SIGNIFICANT PRICE REDUCTION*

in #creativity7 years ago (edited)

My name's Laabo, your friendly neighborhood animator from Canada. If you are interested in your own custom gif for your posts, let me know. Below are several gifs animations by me. They can be used in a variety of contexts.

Commenting:
Below are two that I made for comment sections. People often post gifs or images in the comments sections to let people know that they appreciate their work. A customized one is even more interesting and can potentially make someone curious about you and draw them to your page, especially if it depicts something interesting about you, but not in a way that takes away from the praise you're trying to give. For example, if you're a musician and your page is all about music, you can be animated sitting, with several instruments in the background. You could play a guitar and notes can come out of it spelling the words "______ has upvoted your post." That way, the post is still about the person you're commenting on but it also says a little bit about yourself in a way that's better than "nice post, I upvoted it, check out my stuff if you get a chance, i make music." If you do this on posts that you genuinely appreciate, it will bring more people to your page, even on days you're not posting content.

For the beginning of your articles:
The two below were used as titles for articles I wrote. If you have an article you want to really stick out and be your best work, why not use a looping gif to make it more dynamic and engaging?

For the body of your article:
If you have something in the middle of your article that you would like visualized, a short looping gif is a great way to accomplish that. Take a look at this one example that explains where the island of "Guam" is located.

For the end of your article:
I made this one for the end of my posts to remind people to stick around.

Here are a few more gifs showcasing the kind of work I can do.

So here are the details.

If you are interested, you can message me with your idea. If you would like a commenting gif, I can remake the ones that I use, just with your body instead of mine, or we can do something entirely new that you come up with. The first option will cost 7 SBD for the first 10 people.

In addition to the SBD payment, for every animation, I will also make a post showcasing it and would require you to resteem it within 24 hours of you receiving the gif. I'll also ask that you do not alter the animation in any way. My channel will also be inconspicuously referenced in a corner of your choosing as it is in the first two examples.

One final thing, please follow me and stay tuned as I will be hosting a contest that will give you a chance to win an animation.

Hello bro

I appreciate your talent a lot and i'm jealous of you currently, looking at the way i need animated graphic design in my daily hustle on the internet.

Seeing afolabi on your name makes me think you're a Nigerian brother like me but you mentioned in your post that you are canadian. So i went in search for your intro post and saw that you're you have a Nigeria background.

This is a good initiative but i have to be frank with you that the price tag is something few steemians will be able to afford. And also you need more promotion to get seen on this platform and i hope i can help with my tiny -little influence in this platform.

You don't mind we chat on talk discord so we can discuss many things.

If you are yet to join this discord use this link https://discord.gg/nsw2VSb and you won't regret joining the platform.

Hope to hear from you soon

Thank you for the encouragement brother. I have taken your words into consideration and significantly reduced the price from 39 to 7. I will get on discord soon so we can talk.

This is great.
I definitely​ want one. But i have to make my thoughts what exactly ^^

Awesome! I see the cartoon avatar you have on your page. I'm sure we can work together to come up with something that will mesh neatly with it.

UPDATE
I have significantly reduced the price from $39 to $7. Get yours soon!

This post has received a 0.35 % upvote from @drotto thanks to: @banjo.

upvoted coz i’m a nice guy lol followbacks are appreciated ✌️out

these are nicely done~ curious as to the program you used and how large would a gif of this caliber take?

//upvoted and resteemed ahahah unfortunately cant afford to nab a gif for myself but shrugs in the future maybe? XD

I used toon boom studio, after effects and illustrator. If you actually meant "long" when you said "large," the time can vary.

UPDATE, I recently significantly lowered the price from $39 to $7.

ah wait-- i mean the file size owo but i suppose a time consideration of the gif's creation depends on how many stills compose the image and other considerations~

interesting :3 anyways thanks for the reply~

The file size will be around 7 meg

@laabo-afolabi Great post my fellow Canadian. I just followed you and I may be of use of your services soon. May God bless your business!! by chance how long did it take this @boostupvote to resteem you?? I paid for one about 20 ins ago. Good luck my friend!

Hey Steve, thank you for your thoughful words. It took about 6 minutes for me.

here is the proof of payment.@boostupvote I paid you over 12 hours ago for my service, and still nothing has happened. Please fix this problem. I will put a screenshot of the payment to you on here, as proof. I am sure you already know because you received it.

I'm sorry, did you send me this on purpose?

sorry @laabo-afolabi but it is the only way to contact @boostupvote since he has no posts. The guy took my money and then did not resteem my article. This was almost 24 hours ago. I have used him once before and it was a bit of a headache. It seems to me this guy @boostupvote is a ripoff . Thats why I posted the pc of my payment, then anyone who is interested could go and see that he took my money and did nothing. Sorry but I have no other way. God bless you.

Sorry man once a post is made there is no erasing it. I gave you almost a full day messaged you through your resteems and the post was my last resort. You cannot erase a post, but i ammended it to reflect what you did to make it right. Ialso changed the post title to reflect that. Thats the best i can do. Now i dont know if you are trying to threaten me with your 50,000 steem account. I would hope not. This was brought on by you, not me. So accept my editting of the post, it actually makes u look good now that you did what u did. But i can assure you, that threatening me with your other account is not acceptable in the steemit community. So lets just call it square now.
God bless you.

dude, are you really threatening your customers because of your mistake? Damn, son. that's just dirty.
