I’m convinced if ppl on this site knew how crappy gifs look before you color them properly, they would appreciate editors more
for context reasons, this is how a gif I used in a recent gifset looks like without any adjustments/coloring whatsoever:
and here it is afterwards:
I truly don’t think people realize how dingy and dark most movies and tv shows actually are so they can’t appreciate the work and skill it takes to make gifs look the way your brain “remembers” it looking.
Another before and after example:
This gif needed 6 different adjustment layers, not including the sharpening process, which is its own separate challenge. The blue window was also changed to green to keep the palette more consistent and to reduce the range of colors needed, because a wider range of colors generally results in worse gif quality since gifs only support a max of 256 (compared to the millions your monitor can display).
not to be a misogynist doctor from the 1800s but i’m pretty sure my uterus is moving around my body, biting my other organs, and also is possessed by the devil
but for real, the notion ivy would at all adhere to the male gaze is laughable. she hates people? she hates men? all she cares about is hanging out at home with her plants and saving the rainforests? WHY would she give a rat’s ass about looking sexy. even if you factor in the seduction element of her powers… the fact she can literally brainwash men into doing whatever she wants just using the bottled up essence of her pheromones means SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO BOTHER APPEALING TO THEM. JUST SPRAY THEM, PSS PSS, DONEZO. she can do that shit in her pajamas!!!
