Dance Dance Repetition

While we're on the subject of DDR, here's my most recent Facebok cover picture.

I drew this going off a few static images of the PlayStation version of the game and I didn't really know how to handle the gradient. Each picture I saw had a consistent color throughout, but each image I looked at was different. I wanted to give it a more complete feeling without distracting from the minimalism of it, so I just slapped a rainbow gradient on it and called it good.
I did some more research, and it turns out the way gradients are handled in the game is with a sort of scrolling animation, as you can see below.

 

Apparently every arrow on the screen goes through this animation at the same time, which is why all the screens I looked at had arrows of a uniform gradient. Unfortunately Facebook doesn't support animated .gif, so for the time being at least I'm leaving my cover picture as-is.

Here's a copy of the banner format-ready for Facebook, or whatever else you may want to use it for.

Oh, and happy Superbowl.
