Looping Animation
Artistic liberty, but you can provide a general idea or scene. Adding $5 to your total is enough for a simple blinking animation like the one below, but the more you add, the more effort I will put into it.
Instead, $10 can get you this:
And higher will get you more movements, detail, and/or effects.
Examples for animations other than portraits are coming soon.
Important notes about Looping Animations:
- GIFs have limited capabilities—particularly with colors. I will export the animation to the best of its abilities, but in some cases, I'd imagine I'd have to leave it exported as a video for full quality.
- Transparent backgrounds are an additional process: I have to manually select and remove them from each frame. I suggest going for a simple/solid color background instead, but if you'd still like the transparent background, it would be an additional fee of at least $7. (I'll spare the details, but it would depend on how many areas I'd have to select and remove for each frame.)
- I only offer shading on animations on portraits with a simple animation ($5-$15 range).
