Thankyou so much to @DaFloofyCat for curating this, and @ceebee for the love and fav, it means a lot :) Made it onto what the community is loving! :D thankyou sm for all the support guys. 550 likes and 350 favs, thankyou sm for all the appreciation. I can't express how grateful I am :) International Women's Day is coming up so I thought I'd make this, Full screen for best experience, Just enjoy :) Haven't worked on anything scratch-related for ages so I Thought I'd try my luck at a parallax. I made this project in acknowledgment of the women who throughout Australia's History have had to fight for their place in the Agricultural and farming Industries. Hard yakka = An Australian colloquial/slang term, which means Hard work, often referring to strenuous physical labour as one would undertake on a farm. This parallax is set on a farm, a cattle station somewhere in Australia. #Art #Parallax #Coding #Australia #Horse #Farm #WomensHistoryMonth #landscape #internationalwomen'sday
Guys I hate to have to mention this but please don't advertise in the comments, I am deleting or reporting all of these comments. For decades now women have had to fight to be acknowledged as farmers, their work being rendered invisible and dismissed as just ‘domestic’. In fact, prior to 1994 women weren't legally recognised as farmers in Australia. Throughout History women have worked painstakingly hard to build and sustain their farms as well as gain recognition, hence the title Hard yakka. Farming is and was a very physically demanding lifestyle and there is still ongoing activism led by rural women to battle sexist ideals that lie in the agricultural industry. Notes: -I loved working on this so much, very relaxing. I think I got a bit impatient near the end but it was definitely worth it :) -Been sick at home for the past week and all up this has taken ages to make. The horse was pretty tough but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. -Feel free to provide me with any input or feedback and let me know what scene you think I should do next :) Credits: -All art is mine, and I made everything using vector in scratch. I've spent ages working on it and I'm pretty proud of it so please don't use any without credit (I would love it if you asked for permission as well). -thanks to one of my irl friends for letting me come over and spend the the day with her horse who I used as a reference. -Mouse trail and thumbnail code mine but feel free to use either with credit :) -Thanks to @ThePhantomAnimator (The STEAMist on yt) for the amazing yt tutorial which I followed to make the majority of the main parallax code -Thanks to @embark- and @R2D2Anna for most of the dust particle code -Music: 'Drops of Jupiter' by Train, took me forever to pick a song but I landed on this one :)
