Drawn in Photoshop, animated in Spine Pro. The final art piece I made for my bachelor thesis on GIF as a medium for art.

I've been researching digital art in the context of modern folk art, outside institutional or commercial art. I analysed almost 500 art GIFs across Tumblr, Artstation and GIPHY.

There's almost no academic research on art GIFs, so it was important to me to examine and document it. I also examined the optimisation of GIFs and how it relates to web sustainability.

And because the bachelor program was focused on art practice, I then created my own art GIFs, and it seemed only right that I should do it through fanart of something I've been really into lately. Thanks @samreich and the rest of Dropout for giving me some unhinged content as inspiration. Watch 'Game Changer' everyone, it's great.

#dropoutedit #gamechangeredit #game changer #sam reich #brennan lee mulligan #lou wilson #ally beardsley #dropout #gif art #art gifs #yes i did have one of the most uncommon niche subjects in my class #this thing is made out of 50 different moving pieces btw #it took 15 hours to draw #and 7 hours to rig and animate #also thanks for the feedback on the poll!#as you can see i did listen to it

the web - fear of manipulation and lost control made manifest

#twst #twisted wonderland #jamil viper #kalim al asim #twst tma au #tma #heartscribbles #dont tag as ship #honestly this piece stands alone w/o the tma au tag but i just want it there for context #but for the very niche audience of tma twst people im sure you all understand me when i say jamil is SOOOOO webcoded #i have a lot of thoughts on a twst tma au that will probably come out later #most of them center around web!jamil tbh #there is something incredibly funny about aligning (guy with horrid fear of all bugs ever) with (spider themed fear god)#i will keep doing it

so there's this post that talks about how people call jason's curved knife a kris but it's not a kris 'cuz why would he have a southeast asian knife? and op's tags say if you're gonna give him an 'exotic' weapon at least make him malay or something. a later reblog adds a filipino kris as an example, and then i was like, 'omg, jason in a barong tho.' SO i tried designing a bat-barong inspired by his hood logo, for a filipino jason haha. and now here we are! 😊✨️🇵🇭

#jason todd #red hood #batfamily #batfamily fanart #dc #dc fanart #i love barongs SO MUCH i used to think they were just a boy thing but my mom and i found a barong dress for me to wear for graduation ✨️✨️#i was so happy lol #i am posting a lot of lil doodles rn cuz i finished some big involved pieces for the zines im in and this is all the energy i have left rn #anyways i made him white-passing bc comics but like.#it should track that he looks a lil asian too cuz he thinks lady shiva might be his mom right??? so he could feasibly be half... 🤷🏻‍♀️#i like thinking he's a lil filipino but only cuz im all the way filipino (except for all the ways im not hashtag immigrant kid life)#I DIGRESS #here's another extremely niche jason todd post from yours truly 😌✌️✨️#sorry if the knife isnt to scale it's only occuring to me now that i just *assumed* it'd be longer than a man's forearm oops #ugh barongs are so pretty. idve tried designing more if i had the patience to do the detail work rn 🥲 mb in the future who knows #he's wearing a sando underneath!!!!

was today years old when discovering that the eleventh doctor wears leather trousers. his trousers are made of black leather. Black leather with the ends rolled up and I. have no idea what to think-

#what do you mean he is wearing BLACK LEATHER TROUSERS #all this time I thought it was denim but I just saw his Children In Need short and? they really are? black leather?#exactly like the books and articles describe. he is wearing black leather #ON HIS LEGS #I genuinely thought oh ha! tweed old man jacket with elbow patches. cotton shirt. braces and bow tie. boots. precious man #denim trousers #BUT NO. NO. hear me. listen to me. that sideways old man babyface is wearing black leather trousers. do you know what that makes him?#COOL. do you know what that also makes him? STUPID #he's even more ridiculous than I thought he was. who does that. like the tweed and the bow tie and the elbow patches were all quirky #all eccentric and geek chic and niche and moffat and the costumers really tried to create a very OBVIOUS caricature #but it worked and it came together to look exactly how it was supposed to look okay. but. BUT.#it is all sitting on top of cleverly-disguised. barely-referred-to. blink-twice-and-you'll-miss-them-#black leather trousers. *inhale with me* matt smith in his mid-twenties dressing as a geek chic alien grandfather. IN BLACK LEATHER TROUSER #NEEEERRRRD #eleventh doctor #doctor who #doverstar's thoughts #text post #funny #read the tags #opinion piece #I guess?#eleven #11 #11th doctor #11th #dw #bbc #matt smith #steven moffat

My account is truly ancient, and I've drawn for so many fandoms and some of the over decade old drawings are still in circulation, and just by experiencing how fandoms interact with them I have gained knowledge I don't know what to do about,,,

#eg Lorax fandom still exists #Berserk fandom keeps old pieces in circulation for literal decades #Or like #Every now and then I'll see tags like: 'I can't believe I found it again!! I first saw it when I was a teen and it changed me as a person'#And then I look and it's the most random drawing with 1000 notes #These are very humbling btw it's interesting what sticks with people and how different it is from my own feelings #Also #It's interesting that it's the less popular pieces from niche fandoms that get circulated far longer #While the ones that got many notes from bigger fandoms lose relevance immediately #(with some exceptions)

Kobylu with Koby being all flustered around Luffy while Luffy is completely oblivious is good and all, but; and listen; what if they're both incredibly flustered?

Luffy isn't nervous about Zoro and Sanji because he has no reason to be but he is nervous with Koby because he is confused about their relationship. He's a menace to the world government, and Koby is Marine that works for said world government, so he just doesn't know how to proceed.

Whenever they stumble upon each other they just stand there awkwardly and are like "...hi!" and the Straw Hats are just dumbfounded by the sight of a nervous Luffy.

#this is so niche #one piece #op koby #monkey d. luffy #kobylu #and because luffy is in no way monogamous #zolusan #also #t4t #YES I SAID IT #mandatory aroace luffy tag too #you will take flustered luffy from my cold rigid hands the day of my inevitable demise

IT'S KAWOSHIN DAY!!! As well as the last day of Kawoshin Week :') It's been such a blast, gonna miss it when it's over

Kawoshin Week Day 7: Cuddling/domestic fluff! + Sleepover and Spinoffs (again)! Based on the Campus Apocalypse sleepover chapter ☺️

#shinji ikari #kaworu nagisa #kawoshin #neon genesis evangelion #campus apocalypse #nge #nge ca #toma draws #kawoshinweek2024 #CAwoshin again! wanted to ensure my favorite niche kawoshin got some representation in the week in case no one else did stuff with them...#which wasn't the case since literally every fill for the spinoffs prompt has been campus apocalypse!!! which i'm overjoyed about 🥺#my second option for today was finishing a sonicverse kawoshin wip for the free day prompt. but i already included sonic in the week with-#the song lyrics i used for my day 5 piece so i went with this instead #also went with this because. um. my original plan for today was actually. a CA fic for these same prompts set after said sleepover chapter #but i'm neither fast nor confident at writing so i. haven't finished it (i DID get it to almost 1500 words so far though! progress)#so i thought i'd color something i drew while thinking about it :')#i did it while taking a break from my day 5 piece and was pretty loose about it so it's not super polished and i'm not sure how i feel abt-#the colors but! it hits the soft cozy vibe i was going for and that's good enough for me #if i manage to finish the fic within the year i might still include it as a very late week entry... no promises though. we'll see

Modern au Eddie gets brought in to do a special dm/dnd episode of um actually with Brennan and Matt. Steve is there behind the scenes because they don't go anywhere without each other and he also wants to meet Emily -- he likes her chaotic player energy, one guess to why. He's hanging in the back of the studio quietly watching production, just hanging out and watching Eddie banter with people who are as obsessed with his thing as him and can match his intensity even if it's at different energy tones. Eddie and Brennan would be an unstoppable force and unmovable object I can just tell.

A question comes up about 1e or something, they deliberately made the questions strange and finicky cause they knew who they were having on and really the show isn't people getting answers if you wanted that you'd watch jeopardy. The show is nerds getting pissed and argumentative about the things they like. No one gets the answer, though they go to the fact checker booth a couple times over it. No one gets it except for Steve, who has listened to every loved one he has talk about this game for the last forever. Steve who has adhd/autism brain and it holds onto strange factoids and weird snippets of longer conversations that he has forgotten. Things like Erica and Dustin arguing about the validity of gender limiters on player stats. The cast have already danced around the answer, and the set has been so relaxed and lively he doesn't stop to think about why he shouldn't call out from behind the camera "um, actually." Cause they can always cut him out, he isn't even mic'd.

He does immediately regret speaking up. Not because he isn't right. He always knew he was right. But Steve learned a long time ago that him being right isn't always worth the scene that it then causes. Like now, Eddie is perched on the furniture like a gargoyle on a church roof, "I get that point right? That's my husband, what's his is mine." They'll never get invited anywhere ever again.

So he is surprised when the email arrives in his influencer inbox; but politely turns down the invitation to play in the next season of Dimension 20. And not just because Eddie is seething next to him when he gets the invitation.

#steddie #steve harrington #eddie munson #listen its 1:30am and the worms in my brain wont let me sleep #its a cross over of all my stupid niche little things #i can 6 degrees of seperation get you from eddie munson to brennan the pieces are there #this is everything and nothing #i just like how modern or pop culture aus invite the introduction of real people #in this case its eddie munson yelling at trapp #steddie fic #literally wrote this in 15 minutes so if theres something wrong with it dont correct me
