Welcome to Fantasy Artist Ed Beard JR's Fun with digital GIF animation ....

Yes! you're reading correctly, Ed took his original hand painted work "Templar's Bane", scanned the art and then created a jpeg file. Then Ed modified the art in Photoshop, 27 times (there are 27 frames in this animation). Then the files were loaded into a basic Gif animation program and here is the result. Enjoy! It took approximately 1 hr to modify the art and create the 27 versions of the original. Who said Ed is totally anti digital... This is one of Ed's favorite types of digital application.
