This is one of my first tries at constructing a GIF animation picture. I was going for an old time feel to it.I used a lot of layers in this, especially for creating the look of the flames & them shooting up in between the lips.
My idea for the flames was those Universal Studios rides where the city is all broken up, gas lines are broken & flames are spurting through the air every few seconds."Plotting n Scheming since 1978" is original , but based on a conversation with Repos about what year we were "Bottled & Brewed" ( like beer, yes.Brewed=conceived & bottled=born) Please feel free to leave any comments. No spam, derogatory comments, or unfocused hate.
++++ I thought this would be easily uploaded to blogger using my Picasa installed on my desktop. Not to be so...I am bringing this up just in case anyone else is having a problem posting GIF animations. I thought it was something wrong in how i saved for web & devices in Photoshop, but after much searching using my trusty Google & Firefox (both tricked out using Stylish with enough extensions, plug-ins, & goodies to make my RAM squeal) I discovered that Blogger automatically converts your images to JPEG before upload. If I would have bothered to read anything before creating this Blog I would have probably known that, Oh well, the story of my life...
What I now needed I found, was a Image hosting service, somewhere online to keep my animating doodadads so when I want to post them I just type the code (HTML for websites) they give you for your picture after you upload it.Tinypic was what I used. I discovered though, AFTER trying & repeatedly failing, that I needed to check the box for "Video" in the type of media you are uploading. Otherwise the animating will not display. I really need to read directions FIRST!
