This is a personal blog devoted to a nerd who appeared in only 11 episodes of the Pokémon anime. You will also find stuff about the misadventures of a wild Hunter kid who tries to find his Hunter dad, animated shows and movies, and even ninja turtles!

Me: oh wow, it’s really busy here at work, I should start doing something that isn’t my responsibility just to help out, maybe I can skip my break today, or stay a little—

My inner Chilchuk Tims: Your job description has your responsibility and includes hours worked and breaks. Stick to it unless they want to pay you more. No job is your friend no matter how much you like it.

I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more

for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:

and here it is afterwards:

I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.

Another before and after example:

This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).

yeah…

I always see tags and captions for .GIFs with worlds like “edit” and “my edit” and wondered what edits were even done. Now I know!

I wanted to see if I could draw Liko as a Gen 1 character! 💙

Instead of just changing the art style, I tried following the trends of the era to create a whole new design that looked believable for the time. For example, her outfit is based on Squirtle instead of Oshawott in this concept. :>
