GIF - Axe Throwing
This GIF is based on the mythical Leviathan Axe from the video game, God of War (2018). The GIF depicts the arm of the demigod, Kratos, throwing the axe into a tree. The runes in the axe glow as it is magically summoned back.
I thought the concept of an axe being thrown and pulled back fit the medium of a GIF, since it allows for a continuous loop. The white streaks add a sense of motion and convey that the axe is spinning through the air. I positioned the axe and manually drew the streaks for each frame.
