[WIP] Making mammal GIF - 1
🕑 Added 2025-10-15 19:18:29 +0000 UTCA while ago, I posted rough GIFs or two bats on this post ([ idea sketch ] Spooky season Doodle) and here's how they ended up looking!
My sticker packs are usually marine life and arthropods - Especially crustaceans. Still, I always wanted to create more and more diverse animals, and I'm trying to expand my artistic world.
Recently, I added birds, amphibians, and reptiles. And also I've been thinking about a mammal sticker pack for a long time. So I decided to create additional GIFs and stickers based on my previous drawings :)

Okapi
This is an okapi drawing I did in 2021.
I sketched out a brief outline of how I'd animate it, and then created a line animation based on that.
Generally, when I'm drawing my main work, I tend to separate the layers according to the part.
It's not always like that, but it's been a habit for quite some time
Four years later, I'm making this to GIFs, so I'm glad I did this in the past 😅
Using a lot of layers makes drawing more time-consuming, but it makes editing easier... - I think it's limited to main artworks. When I draw doodles or fan art, I like to merge layers 😂
4 frames : I was impressed by the way the okapi's tongue, so 😁 I created this image imagining a happy okapi in front of a delicious salad.
Fox
A fennec fox!
To make the blinking more visible, I redrawn the eyes larger and more distinct than in the original drawing.
Red fox
I love how their ears change angle when they're feeling good. My dog does that too 😌
Fancy rat
Sniffing rat~ In this, like the other animals above, I made the eyes a little bigger and changed the position of the tail from the original drawing.
Thanks for watching!

These are all so cute!! I love that each animal has a movement that feels specific to the animal like okapi licking or rat sniffing 🤩 I’m looking forward to these gifs!
