Good Day Hive World!

I actually made this after I made the Security personnel below. I used him as a template for this one, and ultimately I used my previous posts (This and This) as templates.

However, even if this is technically a remake - it's harder to do that all of them, because I had to manually draw each changes on the frames and not just move them about.

Again, I used Photoshop CC to make this art and animate it. This certain animation only has a few frames but most are manually hand-drawn.

I'd like to show you the layers I used for making the animation changes, so I laid them out here for you. These are most but not all of the layers I used:

Eyes: closing and fusing into a single crack
Mouth: opening and growing bigger with teeth showing and blood gushing out
Brows: disappearing into the strands of hair
Nose: gets distorted and fuses with the eye-crack
Hands: just moves down like it's drooping
Brain: shows up after the head cracks
Torso & Head: required the most work since it's the biggest part as well, you can see it opening up like a flower bulb, changing colors a bit, and with blood dripping all over (note: the mouth and nose doesn't change in these layers because the actual layers for them are above the torso+head layers)

Here's another look at the finished artwork:

Onto another one - again, I made this before the one above - so this Security Personnel looks like the one above. You can think of this as his previous life before he transformed into the gruesome monster above.

Now, he's saying "Don't let your guard down!" which is actually a pun since he's a security guard. In the Philippines, that's the shortest name for that profession, a "Guard". So for this animation, he's kind of saying don't let him down. Lol. Same thing, I used Photoshop for this one.
