Description
GAWD, this file is HUGE, like, 6000 pixels tall.This is FOR YOU!!!
Suggested by...like, five deviants. xD USE IT!
Any questions, ask. I was a little hyper in the beginning so I was kinda random. But I think I got through easy enough. :3For the final Icon that I did, I editted it so that it didnt just constantly twitch its ear for no apparent reason, but the final icon is: [link]
Sorry its so hard to see her ears twitching. xD
YEAH. Im sleepy now. It was quicker to make than I thought, but it took long still. >.<

How sweet!! I really appreciate your compliment~ This thing is so gosh darn outdated, haha. Glad it's still put into regular use. THe icon you made is pretty<3 I really need to make a tutorial on how to do icons with transparent backgrounds, geez. What do you think, might be useful? c:

I think it would be useful! A lot of people like avatars with transparent backgrounds anyway :\ I'd love to see what you do with it :]

Thanks! I'm thinking something that could teach people how to do icons like the one I have. It sorta opens up more possibilies if people can do transparency crap. Plus it's useful for like. Bigger pieces of art, etc.

Yeah and it's super useful. Instead of asking people to make them an avatar you could try your hand at it too! No problem :]

I'm sorry, I'm totally confused by what you just said xD "Instead of asking people to make them an avatar you could try your hand at it too!" What? Haha.

Oops! sorry my brain must be malfunctioning @-@;; I meant like instead of people asking others to make them an animated avatar, they could try making their own with your tutorial xD

I made an icon but it wont let me upload it because of the size but i made it 50-50 pixels

The file may be too large as in the animation loop is too long (i.e, there are too many frames.) There's no way that I know of to fix this except cut out any unnecessary frames, sorry!

i just made one picture. do you have to make an animation in order to download?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No? Hm. I don't get why it won't let you upload it. Can you post it to DA and let me have a look at it? Like, post it as a scrap.

I have a question, I"m making an icon with aroung 20-ish Frames, and when I save it as GIF, all the Layers are visible as the animation goes on.
The icon has Midna from Legend of Zelda, it starts as the tip of her crown, and the image of her scroll up to her face. The icon fades black and then the word 'Midna' apeears, then fades back to the first frame. But at the part where she's moving up, you still see the previous frames, like she's just duplicating. Here it is: [link]

Also, at the end when it fades back to Midna, the black just cuts of without fading

i tried out your tutorial and it worked great but now i'm having trouble with the animation. There's always one layer that stays visible throughout the animation? do you know what i'm doing wrong? I can show you if you need.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't quite understand what you mean. Can you show me? I'll see what I can do.

i'll post an example as soon as i get the chance

alright, just let me know~

Here's the link to a quick cycle with the frame issue. Perhaps I should do a longer one so you can see it better? It's only 3 frames. Thank you for any help. [link]

I tried saving an animated icon following your steps but then a 'pop up' 'said': 'Unable to set up avatar - DiFi argument validation error'. What does that supposed to mean?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's really weird. Do you have a Mac? Because I've never gotten that error before.

Nevermind got it fixed. Thanks, though, for replying back (some people don't care if they don't know)

You're welcome, I'm glad it worked out for you

Haha, great. I wouldn't even know where to begin with a Mac xD Glad you figured it out!

I tried out your tutorial, and it worked great! The only problem I had was viewing it when I was done. I have a Mac so I don't have Windows Picture or Fax Viewer. I tried to use QuickTime but it didn't work so I just uploaded it as my Avitar and it worked. It's just a pain in the but if I want to view it. If you have any suggestions as what I can use, that would be great! Thanks for all the help!!!
