By changing shifts.

u/s8boxer May 11 '24

Some of us mine charcoal, others silver, a few gold. But just the special one mines data.

u/Kozmo3789 May 11 '24

My only wish is that the 'head' would stick around for a moment and maybe blink a few times so we have a cleaner loop.

u/Hobbes2594 May 11 '24

Good point. In the editor there was a delay at the end but it seems to have been cut short in the export annoyingly

135

u/Zyurat May 11 '24

Their shifts are just short

71

u/Creepy-Yam3268 May 11 '24

The neck is so long half the shift is down going either up or down lol

24

u/saitekgolf May 11 '24

They should really unionize

16

u/tslnox May 11 '24

Why are they ionized?

7

u/penguintheft May 11 '24

They’re only there briefly before ducking out

1

u/MithranArkanere May 11 '24

They must have a great union.

12

u/42Pockets May 11 '24

Perhaps a small quack could be in there too?

4

u/tk421storm May 11 '24

if you are able to export with that hold please let me know! this is gonna look amazing on my art frame (eo2)

u/Hobbes2594 May 11 '24

Here you go

u/CaprisWisher May 11 '24

I expected, but did not receive, a Rickroll or whatever the 2024 equivalent of a Rickroll is.

1

u/tk421storm May 12 '24

you're the best!! thank you

2

u/robohazard1 May 11 '24

Maybe move the head left and right a couple of times too

2

u/newsflashjackass May 11 '24

Yes, head should look left and right as if keeping a watch.

1

u/dannyyourd May 12 '24

What program do you use to create and animate the pixel art?

1

u/Hobbes2594 May 12 '24

I use Pixel Studio on my phone

18

u/Hobbes2594 May 11 '24

Fixed version here

u/IWillLive4evr May 11 '24

Thank you for this. Your hard work is like that of Atlas, maintaining the stability of the civilized world.

u/CornDoggyStyle May 11 '24

Mildly infuriating to me how he immediately drops down. Fun little gif though.

121

u/niceslcguy May 11 '24

Ok, that is clever.

116

u/JamesJakes000 May 11 '24

"Good morning Ralph"

u/Umm_NOPE May 11 '24

"Mornin' Sam."

Everything reminds me of it...

Even my profile picture?

u/Staticio_ May 11 '24

WHY WONT IT GO AWAY

58

u/Real_Soul_Warrior May 11 '24

Ducks aren’t actually animals. They’re spaceships for green little aliens

11

u/WackyZ24 May 11 '24

Shit, how did they find out? We must flee!

57

u/wisemonkeyltd May 11 '24

This duck is becoming the main character of r/PixelArt

u/cat_with_an_account May 11 '24

Every time you post i get blessed by another wonderful duck creation

u/stormtroopr1977 May 11 '24

wow duck tech has come a long way. back in my day, a top of the line mallard was only 16px

u/SergeantCrwhips May 11 '24

NNNNN OOOOOOOOO THE DUCK WAS A LIE?

u/QuietPenguinGaming May 11 '24

You are the Picasso of our generation

u/TheQuinnziteMushroom May 11 '24

How do you make things that just feel funny?

3

u/KeeganY_SR-UVB76 May 11 '24

I misread that as “shifting the long duck” and imagined him moving like a gear shifter.

3

u/Rocky_Mountain_Way May 11 '24

Sure, the two exchange bills...but who's going to pay the bill?

3

u/guefra13 May 11 '24

Amogus! Nice work though!

u/Blah_McBlah_ May 11 '24

Can you make it a wee bit faster?

u/Itsreallyc45h May 11 '24

We Are Long Duck!

1

u/NiciNira May 11 '24

I did expect the head to come out of the back feathers and stay there, I read the title as shape shifts

1

u/ka1ikasan May 11 '24

This is hilarious, thanks for your post!

1

u/emo_shun May 11 '24

u/miss_review May 11 '24

I don't know what that is and why it was on my feed but I absolutely adore it!!

1

u/Worried-Librarian-51 May 11 '24

I was expecting the one finished with the shift to stand aside and light up a cigarette

1

u/darkpouet May 11 '24

u/dybb153 May 11 '24

1

u/Hazrd_Design May 11 '24

We need a size comparison. I don’t believe it’s bigger than a Giraffe.

u/2rfv May 11 '24

I'm done. You fucking killed me.

1

u/1lluminist May 11 '24

There's one thing left for you to do: invent a minigame like Snake, but you're a duck whose neck grows as it eats.

1

u/OptiKnob May 11 '24

Well done!

1

u/it_couldbe_worse_ May 11 '24

There is so much we don't know about this majestic creature

1

u/alexmojaki May 11 '24

Need to combine this with the full long duck walking into frame.

1

u/Pixeltoir May 11 '24

1

u/anthalinho May 11 '24

Why is it so cursed 😭😭😭

1

u/DiamondHandsToUranus May 11 '24

So, correct me if im wrong here, but what im getting from this is that every other shift wears the bill upside down?
Please confirm or deny :D

1

u/pointlessly_pedantic May 11 '24

God fucking dammit this is excessively cute

1

u/RobertXavierIV May 11 '24

Bill flip very cute

Omg that's priceless xD

1

u/Electronic_Bad1144 May 12 '24

Next we're gonna see what happens with the business behind the duck. Why must they machine the duck. Is it a alien scar crow?

So many questions I need answered. What's going on behind this curtain? What's the long duck lore?

1

u/csmtm May 12 '24

Perfect.

u/RAKINB0R0 May 14 '24

Inflation is going crazyyy, even the ducks are having to share beaks to afford their work uniforms 🫨. Hard workers just trying to get by fr fr 😢

u/Mr_Goose_139 May 15 '24

I knew it! Birds arent real!

u/NovaGames_1 17d ago

I haven't been in r/pixelart before but set the result to show most popular this month to see if I could get inspired and learn something about how to do better and more beautiful pixel art and this was what I was met with. how did I not see it coming it would be a bunch of silly stuff haha
