Cinemagraphs turned 1 today!

Using the Motion Portrait app to animate my recent sketch of @michaelacoel #Creepy #butbeautiful

Michaela Coel drawn in ArtRage 5 using the pencil stencil set (downloaded from an ArtRage forum).

She is brilliant on Chewing Gum - talented writer, actor, producer, etc. 

Took about a week of evening doodling. @ambient-design @chewinggumgifs @michaelacoel 

Claire “My Turn” Underwood painted digitally in ArtRage, and animated in Plotagraph Pro.

“Rest Day” self-protrait animation done in Artrage using a handful of frames.  Done in the style of a cinemagraph, where only selected parts of the image are moving between frames. 

Looking forward to the ArtRage update to version 5 in 2017! The current pencil tool leave a lot to be desired, and needs to be more realistic in my opinion. 

The whole “I’m not like other girls” movement should really be called the “I don’t want men to treat me the way they treat other women” movement because that’s what it really is. Women know that a girl who wears makeup is as respectable as a girl who wears none. A girl who’s played every Final Fantasy game is as respectable as a girl who digs Candy Crush. A woman who started her own law firm is as respectable as a single mom who works in the service industry. A girl who enjoys casual sex is as respectable as a girl who has never had her first kiss. A lesbian who has no interest in men is as respectable as a straight girl who loves her boyfriend. A girl who reads People magazine is as respectable as a girl who reads Dostoyevsky.

Women have been extensively shamed for saying “I’m not like other girls” when what they are really saying, maybe without knowing it, is “I’ve heard the way men talk about specific types of women, typically women who do things that they don’t understand or relate to, and I really, really want them to separate me from that and see me as a person who is worthy of being respected.” How much respect a woman gets from men is very rarely indicative of how much she deserves.

“I don’t want you to treat me the way you treat other girls, because you treat other girls like shit.”

DSI Stella Gibson has no time for your lies. 

(played by Gillian Anderson on The Fall = brilliance.)

Each frame drawn individually in Artrage using the pencil tool. Animated on Giphy.

9 Unique frames, the rest are played backwards as she is turning her head back.

What It’s Really Like to Work in Hollywood* (*If you’re not a straight white man.)

Alicia Florrick is one of my favourite characters on television, strong but flawed. I knew I wanted to animate her. Also, I’m sad The Good Wife will be ending after this season. 

Done in ArtRage using the pencil tool on the Wacom Bamboo tablet. Twelve frames and more hours than I care to admit! Animated using an online gif maker.
