Description
Click DOWNLOAD for full animation!!!Don't be too harsh on me, lol. This took me forever to get right!!! 16 tiny frames of the same thing over and over and over again, lmao. But it's done finally!!
My new icon!!!
*** Update ***
I just didn't like how the mane didn't flow right, so I went back and added the hairs that would be coming down as the head moves up (if that makes sense, lol).
I also tried to make her eyestars show up better.

I used Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. I found a basic animation tutorial made for Photoshop here on dA and from there, I drew and painted each of the 16 (I think) frames, made sure the timing was right, and saved,

Hmmm, well, this was my very first attempt and I used Photoshop CS3 to create it. What program are you using?

My pleasure, hun,
Now, I knew that I (personally) wouldn't have been able to sit through drawing the full frame of a horse over and over and over again, plus, I wanted to show clearly that it's my OC, so I decided to just make the head move. I don't live or work around horses, so I just YouTubed horse videos and watched how a horse moves while galloping. I tried to focus on how the head moves in relation to the body.

MAKE ME ONE BLARGH
i really like it, so different to most avatars, with the positioning etc
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, we'll have to see about maybe making one for you, lol. I know that you don't have an avatar at all right now, but I don't know what I would make for the icon, lol. My idea was easy, it's of my signature character, lol.

Wow, very well done! You've got a lot of patience! The movement is very smooth and I really like how her mane flows.

Hehe, you must've caught it after I fixed the mane, lol. Thank you very much,

It looks great! I've only tried a few extremely simple icon animations and gads, they take *forever* to finish!! 
But now you make me want to make one... Help!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh dear! Yes, they certainly do take a long, long time to do, lol.
Hmmm, I'm not even sure where to begin to help, lol. I was Photoshop CS3 and I think I remember you saying that you were getting it. I recently found - [link] - which basically showed me how to create animated gifs with PS. Play around with the timing. I actually had to manually type in 0.05 sec delay for each of the frames (I think default is no delay) to get the speed to look just how I wanted it, lol.
Let me know if you had any specific questions you want answered, lol. Maybe that will work better, lol.

Actually, I have Paint Shop Pro, which comes with an animation utility. I just haven't taken much time to work with it.
