My first animated Bird on Gold was realeased on superRare.co. It had been a while since I had minted a Bird on Gold; that series was put on hold as I felt it needed something extra. I think adding animation was the key to bring it to the next level.

THE NFT

The NFT was sold as a rare 1/1 edition on SuperRare

PROCESS TIME-LAPSE+ NFT VIDEO

This piece was drawn traditionally with my usual tools: a fountain pen, Sumi ink & watercolors, and gilded with a gold sheet.

It was then broken down digitally into parts, the outlines were reinforced, and the missing parts were filled with Photoshop.

Finally it was re-composited and animated with Animate.

I also decided to make my first time-lapse NFT with SuperRare, titled "From line to life". I always thought the process was as important as the final piece so I took the decision to start minting my time-lapses. I really hope there is some interest in this type of NFTs.

Here is the process NFT

REFERENCE & INFO

The Scarlet Robin is s a common red-breasted Australasian robin. The species is found on continental Australia and its offshore islands, including Tasmania.

Would you like to know more?

As you can see this time I deviated a lot from the reference picture of this Scarlet Robin.

I only use reference pictures for the first draft of my drawing, then play around with proportions and structure to make the bird look as appealing as possible.

That´s it for today, I hope you enjoyed my birdie; I think I´ll animate more of these, it´s a nice break from my skulls.

As a final note, I gotta say that I had lost all drive and pleasure to animate and CryptoArt really brought my passion back, I had a blast adding animation to my last pieces.

Thanks for being an awesome and supportive community, cryptoArt ftw!🙏👊

Be fucking awesome to each other,

Skeenee!
