11

Ooh! Ooh! The art is moving! Do I have your attention now? Have you paused your subway surfers yet?

The animated part I actually spent very little time on. I just spun the atom around a bit and applied a wiggle effect to the shading. Another low input/high output technique that I should really utilize more often. It just looks really good with barely any effort.

The part of this that I actually challenged myself on, and the part that I spent the most time on, was the sleeves. The original character design has rainbows on the sweater underneath the vest, which begs the question: how do you depict all the colors of the rainbow when working with only one hue? The answer is lots of working with saturation and value. I did a lot of staring at monochrome rainbows as reference for this one. Day 11 is one of the best of the month.
