E is for ECO HOME 🏠♻️

Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday morning! Today's gif is based on the second letter in my name, E. The artwork is titled, "Eco Home" 🏠♻️ because I'm in love with the idea of designing and building my own eco-friendly home where I can harvest rainwater and solar power!🌧️🌞It's sad that these type of homes aren't available on the property market today. I think the current generation are more in-tune with the concept of eco living and eager to lower their carbon foot print. It's a shame really because this is my idea of the perfect forever home.

I'll see you again tomorrow with a gif based on the third letter in my name, L.

K is for KILLER OF PLANTS 🥀💀

New daily art challenge! This will be a fun project where everyday I share info about myself through my artwork. My awesome friend Zoe (happy birthday!) and I have decided to do this challenge based on our names. We're thinking that these would be awesome hashtags! #NameArtChallenge #MeetMe #InTheNameOfArt

For every letter of my name I'll create an art piece that's relevant to that letter, so for the first letter of my name "K" I went with the title, "Killer of Plants". 🥀💀This pertains to the irrefutable fact that I'm horticulturally challenged. My full name is Kelly-Ann so my project will run for 8 days!

I've also decided to spice things up a little and instead of my usual watercolour paintings, I've gone with the medium of light-hearted animation gifs. I'm excited and can't wait to start sharing things about myself with you!

New E-mail Signature!

Hey everybody, I've created a new email signature!
I kept this adorable sausage dog super simple along with the limited animation. It's so darn cute.
I would really love to own my very own Dachshund some day and call it Stretch. #LifeGoals

Contact Page Animation - Part 2

A couple of months ago I started this little animation, I wanted to create a cute gif for my blog's contact page.   Here's the post about the beginning stages, Contact Page Animation - Work in Progress Part 1. The concept works around the tag,

Sending an e-mail is so much safer, get in touch!

I finally had the time to finish it and put it up under the contact tab. There are a few changes to the initial concept but I like the vignette styled background which complements the overall look.

Work In Progress Part 1- Character Design and Rigging

For a few weeks now, I've had this idea to make an animated gif for my blog's contact page.
Today I had the urge to rig the characters and I even got to do a quick test animation on the post box character. 

The next step is to design and paint the watercolour background.

It's been a while since I've rigged and animated so I really enjoyed getting absorbed in the creative process of it all. Here's a quick video of a bit of the character rigging.
