Animated Cover Art? Show it off!

[sefra114]

So I just recently discovered that you could upload animated gifs for cover art and had to make one of my own! I don't see them very often, but think they're a neat idea. If you have or know a comic with an animated cover, please share! I'd love to see!

I realize the size of animated covers might exceed the limit what can be posted on the forum, so sharing a link to the comic info section to see the animation works too! That's what I'll do, haha

Yo, i just saw this in the discord. What are the chances

I'm currently showing a guest cover art drawn by the amazing @amortelito, but otherwise this is my cover (quality reduced so it can be uploaded here):

By the way, you can also have an animated banner

Haha! Talk about timing!

[sefra114]

Ooh, I love it! That added animation really adds to it!
And animated banners, too?! That's amazing!! If anyone's got animated banners here I'd love to see them, too!

I suppose I can also add my animated cover here- But also at reduced quality haha.

@sefra114 nice to meet you also nice animated cover for Space Pack! if you're looking for a site to resize gifs,https://ezgif.com/maker might interest you, been using that to resize gifs also.
Yep I love that about Tapas, and you can also make animated images in your comic from what I gather, hoping to take advantage of that in near future.

Bonus:
Have starting using gifs with comic art for episode promos too:

Thank you so much! Nice to meet you, too! Thanks for the link to exgif!! That really comes in handy! Love how you made your gifs and the idea to make them for upcoming episodes is amazing!! I didn't think of that!! Thank you for sharing!!

Thanks for the positive comments and your most welcome Yep glad to hear you find it handy. Yep making previews like these are a great way to do that whole show don't tell thing. Incase you wanted to try out for your promos, I also added a solid black image for transitions between and set the delay to 5, was originally hoping to add animated fades but that was the only method I could think of to maintain the quality and size for Online upload.

Update: I saw they said you can upload a gif on the Episode Thumbnails, got excited and did this, but it says gif types not supported lol:

My first time trying to upload comic into the internet. I’m curious to know other’s opinion.
