Thank you but I don't do this work anymore, don't have this much free time...
Well, how do i do this... select every color from the original picture add some more variations of them (if you havn't enough), start pixeling your dragons.
For animating, change some aspects (like closed eye or something)
Put the discrete frames together to form the animation (dunno what programms exist to do that I only use Adobe Image Ready)
And that's all. XD

oh wow really i want to know how to do this is adobe image ready free and can u tech me how to use it cuz written instructions seem to confuse me at times
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
sadly, no, it is included within Photoshop
And PS isn't that cheap (more than 1000€ dunno the price in $)
luckyly I got it from a friend of mine for free 
Hm... what should I teach? Making animated pixelwork is only like 'draw a little picture (64x64px or so), copy it on a new layer and change some things (like close the eye...) and finally combine the different frames into an animation'
that's all XD

oh cool do u think i could do that on gimp my laptop dose not have a rom drive other wise i would have it to lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Dunno
I've worked with gimp for around one year but never tried making animations.
Maybe you should look for some gimp-tutorials...
Otherwise, I found a free GIF-Animation programm 
They say it's for beginner and easy to use

ok im new at gimp so im trying to learn and the tutorials confuse me a lot i dont understand them they r confusing to me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, okay if you're a beginner with gimp it will be not that easy to work with it
other question, have you ever worked with a paint program before gimp?
if not then it's normal having problems in the beginning 
dunno which kind of tutorials you read but my advise for beginner they should use tutorials which explain basic aspects of using the programm e.g. how to use the different layers or where a specific tool can be found
when you understand the basics you can either read more difficult tutorials or work freelance ^^

the regular paint program that is on every comp yes i used to use it all the time
ya i found the tool to do those outlines in that pic. i have some of the things down now i read a glow line tut and i understood that for the most part there was 1 or 2 things i didnt get but pics helped with that. i just cant find the tut's to make the artwork look real

for me MS paint is no real paint programm 
has no layers, filters, opacity control, ...
what do you mean with 'look real'?
correct shadowing and highligting or what?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya that's what i meant correct shadowing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay....
but there exist many tutorials which explain ways of correct shadowing here on DA as well
they show almost the same basic concept: decide where the lightsource is placed and add shadow to places the light won't reach
surfaces illuminated by light have to be brighter of course

ya i found that i looked it up and i can some what understand it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thats good ^-^
the best way to learn making realistic shadowing is by try and error, including instructions from tutorials and other illustrators ^^

im sure if ya worked with gimp for some time and know how things will work youll understand these 'for now' non-understandable tutorials too.
youre still a beginner so dont worry if ya dont understand anything in an instant
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ya i got some of it but i got it for the most part
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hey, thats good if you understand most of it
to be honest i dont understand every and all tutorials for photoshop yet
and im sure i wont understand them in one year

So your the artists behind these, eh? 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes I was the one who made these. XD
If I had some more free time I would make more of them but sadly studies takes all of it. u.u
