how did you make an animated sprite on your ID? it's adorable the way your little sprite walks.

Well, I used a megaman sprite for the base. Heavily edited. My program of choice is Fireworks, which can handle layers and frames but is a bit iffy with remembering colours since it saves thing as PNG. Other programs work too, just make sure they can handle frame-by-frame animation. Anyway, you make each frame of the animation (onionskinning or otherwise reducing the opacity of the previous frame and doing the next one on a new layer is helpful) and get them all lined up on different frames, then fiddle with the timing. When it's to your satisfaction, export as an animated GIF. Voila! Animation!
Thanks! I'm quite fond of it, though it's been quite a few years since I made it. I remember being frustrated that there were no walking sprites in Megaman (I'd started spriting via the Bob and George fandom. Megaman was the way to go), nor had any been made by other pixel artists at the time. Running everywhere was stupid, and the sprites for it were ugly as heck anyway. Scratch poses it had to be. Not my area of expertise, but it was good practice and I'm still happy with the results

Thanks! And how are you two doing? Was your drive back okay?

once we got out of the rain, it was manic driving out of the park XD Β Mostly fine after that, most people didn't go to the dead dog, so we went home early from that.
glad to see you're doing well ^^

We were lucky enough to leave before the rain really hit. Loopy wanted to leave as early as possible so we didn't even stay for the group photo XD
You, too!

Our ride was smooth enough that it was pretty easy for me to snuggle up in a blanket (ignoring the "d'awws") with music and sleep through most of the trip.

Did it really make them that much worse?
π: 0 β©: 1
oh damn yes. Β bad that right before it rained, there was a truck doing road leveling. Β so, loose dirt/gravel in heavy rain! Β so not good D8

It was very nice to meet you, and you seem really cool!

Thank you very much for the favourite,, I really appreciate it

No problem. I quite liked your peice. It's always nice when doctors (or anyone, really) treat you with respect and understanding. Though my own experiences are different from your own (notably worse than what you wrote, for one thing), they're close enough that I can empathize with what you spoke of in Apparitions. I hope you continue to have positive interactions with both professionals and laymen in the future.

I'm sorry to hear that it has not been easier for you, I hope that changes.

It has, for the most part! I found a wonderful doctor a few years ago; though she's been away dealing with cancer for the last year, she's recovering well and will be back soon.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh no, I'm glad she's doing better now and hopefully that means you will be too! Yeah, it's hard to find medical professionals who will help. I went through 5 general practitioners, lots of therapists, and 2 endocrinologists.
