April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberI feel like this isn't as smooth as the sketched version.

MemberIt looks like one of those hologram cards whose picture changes when you tilt it left and right.

JanitorYeah, there's frame blending going on. So there's new frames which consists 50% of previous and 50% of next frame, which is why it looks less smooth and kinda ghostly.
I'm just hoping this is result of technical error where artist used wrong framerate at some point, instead of colorers decision, because that decision is just both subjectively and objectively bad.
Actual way to make frame-by-frame animation smoother is to actually draw new frames. You could technically do them by morphing, but that usually looks off as well.
