This tutorial speaks for itself, so I'm not going to say much. Oh, and it's my first one! Yay!
Yes, I'm aware that it's insanely long and detailed, but I'm trying to compress a complicated, expensive commercial process into a free one the common 9-year-old Fakemon designer can understand (No offense! I've seen some amazing stuff by 9-year-olds! 
).In the unlikely case that you actually have any questions about anything not already thoroughly over-explained in the tutorial, don't hesitate to ask. But don't ask me how to do this in another program or how to use one of those blasted online GIF makers, because I used to do that and those things are slooow.

Well, maybe...Four years later, I still very frequently use ASEprite. But it's not the best tool for animations like this. Manually rotating things frame-by-frame is a painfully slow and error-prone process. Nowadays, I would recommend using an animation tool like Spriter . The same basic process applies. Draw the sprite, break it up into parts then reassemble and animate them in Spriter.
You could probably use the same process for animated UNDERTALE sprites, too. I've always wanted to try.

It never was free to begin with. The older versions can be downloaded for free.

Yeah, sorry, I noticed that after I posted... I thought I saw on your tutorial that it was free, but now I realize you meant the older version. Thanks!

Every time I try to go to the ASEprite website, it says "Server not Found"

Seems they're having a bit of downtime. First time I've ever seen this...They might updating the site for the upcoming version of ASEprite, so you'll just have to check in later. :/

Amazing tutorial. I finaly managed to create a good BW sprite
π: 0 β©: 0
so you use ASE sprite?
I have the older vrs and and 1.0.2 dev
Since idk how to compile the current one.
tbh,I want to use asesprite,but like another pixel art app names Moai,I havent been able to get used to it or get myself to use it more.
I wish i could more than graphicsgale.
also I am only following studying pokemon sprite animations from B&w for my own spriting...it needs work
either way i think this tutorial is nice .

Yes! I use ASEprite for all of my pixel art, but some people have gotten some good results with Flash:Β tnguye3.deviantart.com/art/Stoβ¦
You can buy ASEprite here and if you have already bought ASEprite, you can search your email inbox for "gumroad" to get the download link for the newest version. And if you do not want to buy ASEprite, I would not bother compiling it. Just use the older versions here . The newer versions have less problems, but ASEprite 0.9.5 still has many of the features the newest version has.

tbh I still dont see how Aseprite is open source wen its s now comercial...
and I got 1.0.2 by someone,and thankfully as im broke on my paypal...
but still...while not expensive and cheaper than gle abit more...its kinds stupid how ya have to buy something considered opensourcce.
Β mean yes you can compile the source files to get it,but its stll baffling to me...
and i tried to compile...idk how...and i ried followin but did bad at it T_T...

Well, think of it like this...Compiling ASEprite is difficult, so when you pay you are paying for a compiled version. And yes, while you get get ASEprite for free, if you pay then the developer will keep adding new content. Without money, he can't continue developing the program and adding new features.

Thanks for this, I was able to use this to create this, with a lil help from Flash too.

Should I get the trial version? Oh and does this have any viruses?
π: 0 β©: 0
Does the Program include any viruses?
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course not. I've used ASEprite for years and it's never given me any issues.

Heh! No need to reply! I already saw your mention in my inbox. I think you did a great job! Keep working at it and see if you can make some commissions off of it.

Love this tutorial. Editing the sprite frame by frame sure is tiring. Thanks for this!

Lol wow, I clicked the link you gave me and I found this tutorial.
I literally was just looking at this and was about to download it.
(it's quite a small world)

lol i need to get used to this new program

Trust me, it's worth it! Making .GIFs by uploading frames to online tools is waaay slower.

Your welcome! Yeah, you can use this program for pretty much anything. You can even make stuff like platformer sprites:

Actually, that is quite interesting! I'm going to have a look at it.

This is great! :3 I personally animate with paint, so I have no layers to work from, but I love the way you did this, splitting them piece by piece, it makes the whole process a lot more simple for beginners I'm quite sure!
Great job on this by the way! <33 Favorited!

Well, the thing is, I used to use MS Paint a lot myself to animate, but later I found ASEprite, which was made for people normally used to MS Paint. Trust me, layers or not, it's far faster to make much more complicated animations in ASEprite than it is in MS Paint...

Oh I'm sure!
How much was the program btw?

It's freeeeeeeeeee!
Says so in the tutorial. :I

... I really could've needed this when I wanted to animate a sprite before. xD

Nothing says that you can't go ahead and use the tutorial now.
The whole process only takes like 6-ish hours the first time you do it, and about 4 hr. after that.
