[wip] Blanket octopus (Patreon)

*** In iOS's Mobile app, GIFs on post are not moving. I recommend read this post on webpage.

I have a large picture of an octopus on my bed for a long time, so I sometime think about cephalopod before going to bed.. One day I imagined about sleeping with a Blanket octopus covered.

If I had great sewing skills, I would have made customize a blanket octopus-shaped blanket😂

Instead, I can animation as you know, so decided to make an dreamy GIF animation.

Here is a very messy early idea sketch.

The pajama squid and pyjama cardinal fish is a perfectly prepared animal for bed😁

Animation

I tested with 4frames.

If it were a sticker for sticker pack, I would have used 4 frames.

But I wanted to give it a relaxing feel, so I decided to use 8 frames.

(It means that the works I have to draw myself have doubled lol)

I finished the basic flow of the tentacles first, and then drew the suckers one by one later.

This is the finished work.

I hope you guys will feel relaxed by watching this gif.

I'll update wallpaper within a day.

Thanks for watching!
