New Life


Easter time is a day of reflection. For many, it is a time of celebration and the promise of a resurrection day for all. It is a very joyous morning.

This gif was made using vectors and some kaleidoscope items. It is 21 frames long. The original gif is larger, but resized to fit my blog.

The vectors are the egg, the stem of the flower and it's leaves. Also the center of the smaller flower and the crack in the egg.

The kaleidoscopes are the flowers, and the emerging spot before the cracking of the egg.

The chick was painted in behind everything in layers using the paintbrush, airbrush, shading and texturing.

The frames were prepared as an optimized gif which helps keep the gif free of dark spots that become over-emphasized when finishing it up.

This gif was a lot of fun to create!

Happy Easter, everyone. See you tomorrow.
