For my last digital assignment, I decided to do another animated .GIF. This time though, I decided to make one from scratch! I chose the Animated Comic Book Covers assignment. I chose to use a Green Lantern comic book cover for this assignment. Green Lantern has always been my favorite DC superhero. (can we talk about how horribly awfulĀ the recent movie was though?!). I’m not sure if this cover is pre or post HalĀ JordanĀ – it might be Alan Scott. I chose this particular cover because of the power beam – I thought it would be cool to animate!
I used GIMP to make this ani.GIF. I used the free select tool to cut out the power beam and then I used the clone tool to fill in the hole. After that, I reintroduced the power beam and cut it into pieces on different layers. It was a fairly easy process, the hardest part was figuring out the clone tool.
Fifteen stars done!
