So... i can make it smooth an' all that now, but I just can' seem to get the shape correct >_<

and Saith.. I made a random thing?



I have a question regarding Animations, in GIMP particularly. does it simply add the layers on top of each other to create the animated effect, or does it cycle through them? I'm having issues trying to make a wing flap on an avatar, as the image has Alpha channel (or what ever that's called) so there's technically no background. each stage of the animation just piles up like that.

Duckky... would you be able to do anything with my avatar??

[Ducky]

I'd personally prefer if people had ideas on what they wanted o-o; I'm really not creative or good at thinking up stuff.

I suppose i could make the star things sort of twinkle in and out of existence?

[Asami]

Wwell what i would want would be too complex xD
like the wand thing waving or look like its laughing @-@

The twinkle stars sound pretty @-@

[Saith]

That is so cute! 8D I love it! Definately sending you something for it~

[Sir Quackers McWaddleton]

Any movement of limbs, or items that are in front of other items is pretty hard.. so yeah those ideas are a little complex for an animation noob like me x3

Awh man, that's not how freebies work! XD

[Asami]

XD yeah if you did id pay you because its hard work

[Dawn]

Sure thing, Choco. :3

About to say, never seen a wink like that before, Ducky.. that scares me.. :o

I honestly would not know what kind of animation I would want besides the gates behind my avatar opening and closing or the moon coming up and setting.. o..0;

I believe it's just like a film, Ducky. It simply goes from one slide to the next depending on how fast you set the animation speed, etc. Through I think you have the option of merging and not merging the layers if you want.. I know saving in png merges the layers automatically.

[Ducky]

I've never done art, animation or anything similar before, so I doubt i'll be pulling of correct looking animations on things more complex than avatar any time soon..

[Dawn]

Can't say I have either.. -goes to locate her last animations-



Be the first time of me trying to animate a piece of art myself through, I have an idea what I am going to be animating.

[Ducky]

if only Mizzys art was as small as that little pixel doll >_< just having an open and closed frame would be a lot easier..


This is all I've got. It still looks stupid.

[Asami]

Plus its at an odd angle so doesnt help

[Ducky]

the angle of the eye, and the focus of them just confuse me Dx

[Asami]

Id bet ono
seems hard

[Ducky]

I did this with your avatar, Sami... not sure the stick looks like it's laughing, but it's doing something xD

[Asami]

@-@ that is awesome!!!!! Ill have to save it when I get the phone to put in my sig
