Third timelapse, and this one was a doozy.
See how it was made: short timelapse, long timelapse.
I worked on this thing in two different locations, across 4 separate days, and too many hours straight of each day. This thing has 80 LAYERS (😵😵😵), and Krita recorded 21,479 TIMELAPSE FRAMES, adding up to a grand total of 16.29 GIGABYTES OF JUST TIMELAPSE FILES. And on top of that, I did the whole thing while half-asleep.
That's many different ways of saying that this is the BIGGEST artwork I've ever made so far. Was all the toil worth it? ...YES. Especially to make a fanart of probably the most beautiful entry in the Touhou series. UFO's story is fascinating, and its soundtrack is IMPECCABLE. Plus, this experience pushed my ability to stay committed to a personal art project over a bit of a longer term (like, more than just 3 hours). That's something I gotta develop if I ever wanna make something REALLY big in the future....
I'm rambling too much about myself 😅 GO PLAY TOUHOU ☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️☯️
