Description
I am glad that this tutorial has helped everyone create some cute pixel works! As of April 2018 I will be disabling comments on this post as I am not able to give tutorials beyond what is provided. This tutorial is now out of date to the current software of GIMP but a lot of the same general rules still reply. Please check below for an updated tutorial.FOR THE NEWEST VERSION OF GIMP:
I have created another tutorial to help with saving on the new GIMP 2.8 which can be found here: silly-peach.deviantart.com/artβ¦
Saving as animation is different on the new version so please use it if you get stuck! YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO PUT THE WORD (LAYER #)(REPLACE) IN YOUR LAYER NAME! JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY LAYERS ARE IN THE ORDER THAT YOU WANT THEM TO ANIMATE INT!!

Your tutorial was very helpful! .o.
But when I try to put it as my icon a message comes up saying "We can't display this image to resize. Please try a different one."
What do I do?

So can you set these as your profile picture? And if you do what size does it need to be? This was great by the way it was very clear

This helped a ton! I've been playing with making icons in my old GIMP version, and I couldn't figure out for the life of me why the transparent layers kept overlapping.
