ayy lads get in wif those gdolas
Thanks for making a new thread.
Here's some OC I made.
>>994375
Very good animation pham
>>994390
Thanks friend.
>>994396
castlevania?
>>994404
Yeah. The tune is Ghostly Theatre from Lament of Innocence.
Can someone explain Gongolas please?
>>994510
To me, they are about the positive side of loneliness.
I'm ready to feel comfy
>>994517
the second kind of loneliness.
>>994510
It has no explanation. Gondola exists in the world that the artist created. Whether it be our world or a fictional one, it exist to portray life in that universe

I made a Jedi Gondola, but since I'm a fool I can't into .webm making. Here it is:

Cause I cant upload it here, for some reason.
And here's a track I think would go well with it:

If anyone could make this into a .webm, that would be great!

Enjoy the Jedi Gondola
What's the story behind gondola? How did it start and what's exactly the point of the threads?
>>994510
Gondola is acceptin the the world as it is. Gondola watches everything unfold as it happens, not interfering but observing. That's why he doesn't have arms.
>>994339
>western
>not: The good, the bad, and the Gondola
>>994951
It never started.
There is no point. Enjoy it.
>>995377

REEEEEEE
>>994510
all I can tell you really is that these Gondola webm's are about transmitting atmosphere through minimalist 3-5 frame animations and music.
I don't really lurk yli so I don't know the specifics of how this evolved
>>995138
Thursday Afternoon! What a combination..
This is my first OC, I made it either last thread or the one before that.
>>996755
This really is one of my favorite Gondolas of all time, and someday I intend to visit these salt flats.
anybody have a zipped up version of all of these?
>>996969
Hope not, that's the opposite of what Gondola is going for..
>>996916
you should really learn how to use Soundhound or Shazam on ur phone to reverse search the music... it's really a matter of pushing a button and holding ur phone up to the speaker
>>994622
I knew I had that on my phone but couldn't figure out how I knew it. Thanks!
I missed out on the last few gondola threads, it's been a while.
>>994951
>>994510
What is Gondola? Though at first it seems to be a crude corruption of Spurdo, the creativity and depth that lies behind the former is far more self-evident. Gondola may be best described as a meme that captures a sublime and indescribable state of being. He is placed in scenes either abstract, absurd, or beautiful, yet always maintains a distance and seldom interacts with the scene itself. Instead, Gondola functions as an observer. His role is simply to let himself exist within the world and let time pass by without interference. The inclusion of calm or atmospheric music is often used to elicit a similar emotional response from the viewer. Viewing a static image or animation, we too are drawn into Gondola's role, witnessing a scene and letting it pass by. Gondola helps the viewer understand how a passive attitude to the world can facilitate an ethos of contentment and inner peace. In this sense, Gondola may be the most important meme in recent memory through its encouragement of us all to pass away our worries and anxieties and just experience life for what it is.

Gondola is the perfect metaphor, in many ways, to our own situation
He appears in various places, all over the world, all throughout time, with no effort at all. Incredible right? Just like us, really; with the click of a button, we can view any piece of art, any historical event, in the blink of an eye. With hardly lifting a finger, we are, like Gondola, able to be anywhere, see anything. That is life on the internet, the joy of the modern world.
But he is powerless to act. He has no arms, only legs. He is only an silent observer; all he can do is go from one thing to the next. He cannot interact with the things he sees, he is powerless to prevent tragedies that have long since happened even though he may revisit them time and time again. Having been exposed to suffering and terror and gloom unlike any of our ancestors could have been outside a dictator's meat grinder every night on the evening news (Mali hotel killings, Paris terror attacks, a thousand atrocities reported every day before the late night shows come on), we are like Gondola.
We observe; we comment. We carry on. We cannot do much else.
And like him, we find there is no point in being sad. An unintrusive, warmly welcomed melancholy descends upon us. To worry about things we cannot change would drive us mad - but still we are driven to see them, to wonder. To silently observe. And then move on. There is so much to see, after all, even if you cannot touch.

>tfw someone reposts your Gondola meaning explanation
Have a rare Gondola, friend.
>>994510
Gondola is simply a way of sharing a moment. Whether it is the happiness of a holiday, the loneliness of a night, or the confusion of life.
Sometimes he is happy, sometimes he is sad, sometimes he is lost. But the most important characteristic of Gondola is that he is a stranger. We are all strangers in a land that wasn't made for us. Most people go through their lives with purpose, feeling at home, feeling like they belong.
Not us. We aren't like the "normies". We laugh at their pain, mock them, ridicule them. But underneath all the anger and hate and pseudo-indifference, is the simple nomad without a home. We only feel like we belong when we share our thought and laughter and anger with strangers from around the world, whose faces we will never see.
Gondola is simply who we are.
>>997846
Wish I could tell you, man. I just got them from here, long ago.
>>997570
Awesome
>>997860
First try at gondola, how did I do?
>>998127
Nice picture but I don't think the music fits it, it's a bit too eerie and clashes with the bright colors. I was expecting this when I opened it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD1yAEWpzeQ
Or maybe something from the Aria piano collection?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR4x66PFJ8g
Having something to add some motion like small waves could be good too. I don't want to impose my tastes, though. It's your thing so you can do whatever you like with it.

>Thinking it's that complicated, especially considering the guy who made them even gave a long, artsy description of what he was going after in terms of mood capturing and idealism, which the consensus of us agree on for the most part, with some small leeway for personal interpretation. Like having a WebM of Gondola with hands talking like spurdo to heavy death metal isn't absolute shit.
Yeah, but some deserve it more than others.

It's such an underrated game.

Someone should put together a collection of the music used in these. Very calming/catchy stuff in here.
>>999714
>says the cunt who got this mad over a criticism who then proceeded to post no oc
Keep safe, bro.
>>999764
Your criticism was that it wasn't animated, even though most are not animated, and I said that I felt like gondolas are best as still or mostly still. Then you tried to liken it to an out of body experience and said it was beyond humanity's comprehension or something.
Later, Chief.
Does anybody have the Eprosounds one with Gondola on the beach?

Made the minor edit suggested by the anons in the last thread to extend the song so loops better.

If Gondolas existed in a skyrimesque type of game, what would they do?
I mean you could probably find gondolas semi-hidden in caves, but what would they do? Does gondolas run away if attacked? Do you breed them for meat, or do they give pieces of rare artefakts until you find all gondolas.
Just looking for suggestions since I'm a 3d modeller and would be fun for ideas beyond the model.
>>1000892
Gondolas would be about as hard to find as your own ability to pay attention would make it. They're observers so they simply exist in places - never hidden but not attempting to be seen. They're as mundane as a rock, as melancholy as a flower in a field of weeds, and as peaceful as the blowing of the breeze that crosses plains.
You could feasibly find them anywhere, watching and walking, never helping and never harming. They're a sight for sore eyes on long treks through the wild and quiet harbingers of your own solitude in times of duress.
>>1000919
Does Gondolas congregate somewhere, do they have their own gondola society?
>>1000924
No one knows for sure. Nothing really points to Gondolas doing much more than sometimes crossing paths. You see a couple now and then but the Gondola seems to keep (or not keep) company of all kinds.
A village of Gondolas would be odd and antithetical to their essence. But some settle down anyway, as we have seen. No one knows for how long though.
>>1000940
Hmm interesting read.
I suppose the players can hunt and kill Gondolas for their precious and rare skin/furr. Maybe each one of them has a small golden fragment inside their body which turns into a powerful/valuable artefakt when connected.

My first OC, probably kinda shit though.
>>1005507
Breddy good, anon. I like it.
>>1005546
It's better than most of the gondolas people are posting.
Good work, anon.
>>1005507
Is that Aizu-Wakamatsu Train Station?
>>1005507
>>1005546
This is just my own opinion, but drawing gondola in mspaint over a photo isn't a good idea. It doesn't blend well, and he looks out of place. I prefer it when people draw the backgrounds as well, so gondola looks like he fits into his world. But that's just how I feel about it.
That said, it can be good, namely >>999771 is one that I enjoy and think was done well despite being drawn over a photo. So don't let me tell you what to do.
>>1005593
>>1005546
>>1005507
Adding on to what this guy said, If you do it well, like
>>999771
>>999731
>>998244
>>997887
For example, then it pays off really well, and looks amazing. If you are good at drawing backgrounds, like
>>1004995
>>1002916
>>1002222
>>1000854
>>1000238
then it ends up very well to do so. It's all about your artistic strengths. But for the love of god, don't animate them unless you can animate minimally or well like
>>1000384
>>1000238
>>999722
>>997570
I have no gondolas to bring, but I do have some music that I think is pretty gondolic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMcmkaLJRfg
May this be of use to someone.
>>1005725
And here, have another. Similar instrumentation and atmosphere.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bufUJkLTQg
>>1002865
Wasn't expecting that holy shit thanks for the laugh.
>>1005621
>animate minimally
How exactly do you mean? I'd say most of the ones that are animated are "minimal."
In any case I tend to like most gondolas that are animated, even if it's just a 2 frame thing. It's fun to see what people can come up with, and I think the bit of extra effort to draw a few extra frames almost always results in a more enjoyable webm.
That said, it's never a necessary thing. I just see any animation as a nice little bonus.
Damn I wish I could draw.
>>1005921
I think it's pretty good. The Gondola witch is a nice touch.

Also what's the preferred length for a Gondola video? I've noticed most are pretty short, a minute or less. Is that just a constraint of filesize on 4chan or is it preferred that they be short?
>>999243
uh not to nitpick but I would definitely be sitting more in the center, he is on the downward slope of the nose. I'm too worried he is going to slip off to relax with this one. But I do like the song and the image
