After working on one like that for a couple of hours it's tough to tell if it's any good or just a waste of time, so glad you like it! :)

Yeah, i meant to say it about a year ago, but I REALLY REALLY like your taste in color. you've got a great eye and I pretty much enjoy the hell out of every new one.

the filesize limit for gifs on tumblr (~500kb) really sucks. here's the real version:

hey Z S what do you do to "make a gif more lossy thus making it a smaller file size" btw i use this stupid program called ULead Animated Gif Maker 5 so maybe thats my problem
― gr8080, Sunday, 6 February 2011 02:41 (thirteen years ago) link
cool pyramid gifs too
also a few recent ones

i pretty much just use photoshop, and when you save gifs in photoshop there's a whole window full of options...lemme get a screenshot...
http://i53.tinypic.com/2le3iw.jpg
so obv the "lossy" slider is a big factor (0 to 100), but the number of colors makes a big difference too, and the dither. I had dither at 0 in that screenshot, but if I would have had it at 100 that would have been the "max" quality. Whereas lossy at 100, dither at 0, and colors at like 4 or 8 is pretty much the bare minimum.
i've noticed that a lot of people's "thing" on tumblr is to turn the quality all the way down on everything. like, here's an ultra-lossy version of something i posted earlier today:

ok
can i open existing animated gifs in photoshop?
― gr8080, Sunday, 6 February 2011 03:15 (thirteen years ago) link
nope. it'll just open them up as one frame. so if you want to mess around with an existing animated gif in photoshop you have to split the frames up into separate images using another program and then import them into photoshop, one layer at a time. it's a giant pain in the ass and everytime photoshop comes out with a new version i really hope they address it.

I hope that is what the afterlife looks like.
that's Double Tents by Paul Klee (1923), and I hope to head to my local library soon to pick up a book of his stuff because I love it! He apparently helped to develop a lot of modern color theory.
― Z S, Sunday, 6 February 2011 03:25 (thirteen years ago) link
hey Z S where's the best place to start w/ color theory.
(plz dont point me to an ILX thread about teal and orange)
― gr8080, Sunday, 6 February 2011 03:27 (thirteen years ago) link
you should ask abbbottt that! i just mentioned it because i know she's interested in color theory and is pretty much a pro. i, on the other hand, am the kind of person who needs to take 15-20 seconds to remember what color red and blue combine to create.

Absolutely loving the real deal pyramids one.Last Sat. was my birthday and I dropped some acid to celebrate and I swear I spent 10 minutes staring at the Klee one near the end of my trip. It was a joyous 10 minutes.

ya'll are way too nice.
that's funny, though, fetchboy, because that Paul Klee one reminds me of my last, awful trip, a few years ago, where i ended up staring at the inside of my drawn blinds at sunset for about half an hour, freaking myself out into thinking that 1)hell existed and 2)i had discovered the portal. every once in a while someone on tumblr leaves a comment like "i'm saving this one for when i'm shroomin' next weekend!" and i think "if i contribute to yr freakout i am so so sorry"!
