This was a very quick study. I tried to make it as fast as I could. The initial image came under an hour, but animation took several more days. (mostly because I kept thinking it'll look even better if I move some more parts 🤓
I rendered the house and the foreground pretty quick. It felt too fast tbh (an unpleasant habit from the past when I was just learning to draw as a teen).
Here I added a separate layer with foreground grass blades to create a wind animation.
A bland sky wouldn't work for this composition so I thought adding a huge Cumulus cloud would make it more interesting.
It still look kind of strange so I went ahed and added side clouds... At this point I should have noticed I'm adding too many things that would be effected by a wind animation...
Here I got carried away and animated the clouds getting decimated by the wind...until I realised it'll get even too complex so stopped... Added a light flicker on the barn, or perhaps its a tiny light house?
The amount of frames was getting out of hand, so I went back and reanimated the clouds and cut the frames down to 11.
This is one of those works I might come back to later to and update the animation with something smoother when I have no other ideas.
Have you tried complex environment animations before?
Tools: Aseprite, mouse, and some hotkeys.
Sunday afternoons look fun :)
Reminds me of ZX Spectrum graphics and animations 😍
The great classic 8bit art...I'm not that good yet :D this is 16 bit.
No, it's actually even less than 8bits, it looks like 16 colors. 8bits is enough to represent 256 different colors (i.e. 28)
yep, 13 colors in this one :)
Cool!
I assumed the light flicker was a weathervane.
Good idea! I should totally make a weathervane study :D

I'd pay you good HIVE for a piece to add to my website. Maybe something cooking, or a speaker equalizer.
What do you say to that??
something cooking as in????
A burger on a grill! Or clam chowder or even chili in a pot. I also like the classic frying egg in pan. Maybe that, a frying egg in a pan.
