but also for a transparent background you could, take a screenshot of the dA background
and fill in the places you'd like transparentΒ 
but of course you can do it either way ^^
Great tutorial btw

to m ake it you can also go to pixlr.com/editor, open a transparent image 50x50,uupload your picture as a layer and use the magic wand tool to get rid of the background

PandoraTheDragon In reply to Phidont [2014-05-12 21:51:43 +0000 UTC]

and remember to uncheck contiguous and anti-alias too
anti-alias derps the selecting part a bit
and contiguous makes it not select all of the color

blueberrypuppy In reply to ??? [2014-01-20 15:06:35 +0000 UTC]

Ahh thank you soo much! I've been searching for a tutorial like this for pixel art!

Btw I make my icons transparent by just dimming the white parts on the pixel the go to Ezimba.com(Iaza) and type in white

Can I do that or is it wrong?

qermany In reply to ??? [2013-11-11 02:51:54 +0000 UTC]

If you don't mind me asking, how do you shade the icons with lots of colors? Since MSP doesn't have layers and multiply,,, ;w;

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

griffsnuff In reply to qermany [2013-11-11 03:51:37 +0000 UTC]

you choose the colors yourself. I rarely use multiply in lots of art I do since I think you get better results choosing the shading colors yourself.

snug-glasses In reply to ??? [2013-10-25 16:47:57 +0000 UTC]

I found that for the animated icons, you click on Transparent+ after uploading all images, and you can make all the frames a transparent.

Hanibowl In reply to ??? [2013-10-15 02:04:16 +0000 UTC]

When you do this are they animated? I don't care for an animated one. But I don't have photoshop or MS.

griffsnuff In reply to Hanibowl [2013-10-15 07:55:12 +0000 UTC]

xD to have an animated icon, you need to draw each frame yourself.
