NFTshowroom art: Athena ENG-ESP

avatar

hi Hivers! if you like greek mythology, I'm going to share you an animation I did inspired by Athena, the greek goddess of wisdom.
This piece is based in the old greek amphorae, they used to paint about their myths and daily life there using orange and black figures.

hola Hivers! Si te gusta la mitología griega, te voy a compartir una animación que hice inspirada en Atenea, la diosa griega de la sabiduría.
Esta pieza está basada en las ánforas griegas antiguas, que solían pintar sobre sus mitos y la vida cotidiana allí utilizando figuras naranjas y negras.

First of all I started drawing the head on adobe illustrator. I'm just using the mouse. drawing with vectors is something I like. She was the goddess of wisdom, but she also was the goddess of war tactics, so I'm going to draw her a warrior helmet and a spear.

En primer lugar, comencé a dibujar la cabeza en adobe illustrator. Solo estoy usando el mouse. dibujar con vectores es algo que me gusta. Ella era la diosa de la sabiduría, pero también era la diosa de las tácticas de guerra, así que voy a dibujarle un casco de guerrera y una lanza.

And then, I'm drawing the body shape. I drew the hair and helmet plume in other layers, so it will be easy for animation.

Y luego, dibujo la forma del cuerpo. Dibujé la pluma del cabello y el casco en otras capas, por lo que será fácil para la animación.

Now I'm adding details to the dress and the arms. I want to use this lines for creating this textures like the old amphoras did.

Ahora estoy agregando detalles al vestido y los brazos. Quiero usar estas líneas para crear estas texturas como lo hacían las antiguas ánforas.

and after importing the vector file into After effects, I animated all the layers there. This is a preview of the animation in GIF format, you can also collect and see the high defition file in @nftshowroom

y después de importar el archivo vectorial a After Effects, animé todas las capas allí. Esta es una vista previa de la animación en formato GIF, también puede coleccionar y ver el archivo de alta definición en nftshowroom

This is really lovely. I want to start animating my NFT so I suppose I'm going to have to learn to use after affects, do you find it hard to use @delcarmat ?

hi! it depends, had you tried adobe flash / animate?
I think that is easy to do small animations, if you previously had split the objects in different layers, so that's the hard part

I've not used flash, but I have used the layout in Photoshop that lets you animate , it's similar to the layout I use for video in Shotcut, and yes I always make tons of layers for my art anyway, as I sketch and such that way, so hoping it's just a natural progression. I think there are ways to animate things easier, but I'll be actualy drawing each iteration of say the butterfly flapping, just as I CAN do that now :)

ohh I do this way, I will do a post about it too I guess because I don't use to post how I animate it, I separate all the objects in layers, then in after effects, you add "keyframes" it means, where the animation starts and where it ends, so you can add a keyframe where it the object starts, and where it moves, and that's all.

It has effects like "distort" effects, I use this one of "wave distort" to simulate the hair movement for example. give it a try is not hard once you have all in layers, if you learn how to use keyframes to move, rotate and resize, and then try the effects
