[wip] Making herptile sticker pack 2

[wip] Making herptile sticker pack 1

1. Walking Jackson's chameleon~

Have you ever seen a chameleon walk?

They walk like this to imitate leaves swaying in the wind.

To me, it felt like they were dancing.

So I made it look exciting!

2. Helmeted Chameleon

Chameleons are famous for their long, fast tongues.

The one I made before was long horizontally.

I made it again from scratch rather than modifying it to a square.

The tongue became short because the heart had to be visible to express emotions.

When someone uses a heart sticker on you, you can reply with this :D

3. Namaqua chameleon

The chameleon's eye movements are so fun.

I added a sweating effect here.

You can use it in awkward situations or when it's hot.

**Btw, I heard reptiles don't have sweat glands, so they can't sweat.

4. Bearded Dragon

The GIF above was made for art/illust purposes, so it's 24 frames and moves rather leisurely.

When I make GIF to express emotions, I prefer between 4 and 16 frames.

Below is a version modified to 4 frames.

I modified the face a bit, removing the mint leaves.

Nodding a bit more vigorously.

I was thinking about adding some text like YES or OK...

But If the emotion is clear, sometimes it can be useful to not have text. It can be used in more situations.

5. Frogs

When we think of frogs, one of the movements that comes to mind is jumping.

I added fireworks on the background. The frog looks more excited and celebratory.

 This GIF shows how the pupil changes depending on the light.

I added some emotion to it.In animation, when a character is surprised, the expression of dilated pupils is often used. But I somehow thought that vertical pupils looked similar to an exclamation mark. ** I tried changing the pupil shape to an exclamation mark, but it didn't look very pretty, so I didn't use it.

This guy is definitely a frog that wants attention.

I added lines to the background to make it stand out more.

Peaceful breathing frog -> Very hungry frog.

There were two froglets with their tails wagging, but they were so similar that I had to make one of them completely different.

Hurry~!

6. Ball-python

I felt like this sticker pack was lacking a snake, so I gave a simple animation effect to a ball python I drew a while ago. I plan to fill in more amphibians and reptiles in future updates.

It'll probably take a few more days for me to do some more editing and get the sticker pack reviewed for final approval. I'll post once the app is released!

I will also be uploading them all to Giphy and Tenor within this month, and you can find them by searching for pikaole frog / pikaole reptile, etc.

Thanks for reading!
