Anybody have any suggestions for software to create these kind of animations?

Thank you! I used an online reference, but it feels good to hear from someone who actually knows what they're talking about first hand!

I used Aseprite for this, it's a relatively cheap, one-off payment and is hands down the best for this kind of thing. Krita is free and is pretty good too, but is less pixel art specific

As a guy who climbs towers for a living, I’m wondering what his foot is on.

Great vibe! I'd make the foreground movement the fastest, and switch the bandana movement to the right as well.
If you can figure out how to put some movement in the water without it looking too disruptive, that would be neat. (Maybe just horizontal movement?)

Moon Towers in Austin maybe?

Just out of curiosity is that a Bat or someone being shot out of a cannon?
Very well done!
KillerRabbitMedia OP t1_iwvnwge wrote
Thank you for taking the time for the feedback! That's an interesting idea to change the animation speeds for the different elements, I'll definitely try that next time. I agree about the bandana. I did think about it, but I'd already added the red light. I could change the direction of the snow, I think that'd improve it to.
The water is a good point too, I did try, but the scale looked off for somethinig so far away, if that makes sense

Wow! I can taste the snow in the air and hear the muffled honking from the city. What a piece!

I like it. It reminds me of the movie Dazed and Confused.
Owobowos-Mowbius t1_iwvugox wrote
I think something incredibly slight and maybe only 2 or three different frames for the water. Just to add a hint of movement.

no_idea_bout_that t1_iwvvno3 wrote
Makes sense. The resolution at that distance is probably something like 10-20 ft/px, so movement of a single pixel would be way too fast. There might be a way to suggest movement with subtle brightness changes, or a faint noise map.

And why there's a guy wire at ~6-ft.
Sweet gif, though. I like it.

You know the guys that try to convince you their 50ft tower doesn't need guy wires? This, is the other end of the spectrum.

Just pretend the snow is really deep.

makes more sense if you see a cloud instead of snow drift.

we set out in tennis shoes,
ski jackets & driving gloves -
we crossed lonely fields of snow
in early evening, the sky
heather glowed
in a frozen lunar marsh
we stumbled on WBBR
substation radio tower
broadcasting big band stars
substation radio tower
broadcasting big band stars
we climbed past call letter badge
past the red pulsing warning lights
aerial lights
to the transmitter i barely attached
as it thundercracked like a breaking mast
i think we're going down
i looked out over the town
i wish i had a whale to hunt down
i looked over the sea
how i wish someone was waiting to bury me
turn on your tractor beam
set your sights for heavenly seams
i've started to believe
on concrete we scattered our seeds

Driving home after visiting extended family there was this patch of road right after a long tunnel that looked exactly like that.
It took me straight to back to being a kid and imagining myself climbing up the eletric towers just to get a better view.
Thank you for that.

Man I like this. Reminds me of cold late nights in my home town. There was a spot an awful lot like this we used to go stare out at the lights of our littletown and the few around it. Views like this make you feel big, small, alone, and surrounded by others all at the same time. Love this.
