Description EDIT: Added a clearer image, some more specific windows and some palatte colors. Hope it helps



This is how I make my avi's at least the pixel ones. It's all done in MS Paint. Screen caps were taken via PSP8. Also I save as JPEG or use the transparency tool in PSP. Otherwise it's all just MS Paint.

These are also general guidelines, so feel free to use whatever part you'd like and tweak anything you wish. If you're not comfortable drawing an image to a scale of 50 x 50 pixels, feel free to draw it larger, then resize if you need, or color and then resize. Whatever works for you.


Done for ~Lonepichu since she asked.


* References were used to draw the avi. Just look up Ixion and you'll find a few.

its easier to go to "view" then "zoom" then "coustom" then like 800 is best.

I'm sure this may depend on how large you have the image. I feel like for an avatar, as small as it is, it's not necessary to zoom in too incredibly far. At this point though, I have Windows 7, so the features are rather different.

yeah that makes sense. it works better for me to zoom in as far as i can cause doubling the size on my computer is still pretty small.

No one starts out great, but with practice, everyone gets better :3

I've added this to my favorites so I can bring it out to use as a referance. My sprites always lack shading, well my bigger ones, and this why, I don't use enough colors. I think I'm going to go back and redo a few o' mine and then make a better Venus fly trap pokemon then what's official, oh my gosh, it scares me... o.o

So that's what that phrase means! They say that on ANimal crossing after you catch a Carpe, and I always thought it was a side dish or something
