Description A random tutorial for absolutely no reason, featuring an overly shiny eye. Not in a tutorial category because dA decided to completely reject GIFs in the tutorial categories, even for pixeling. ffff

You could probably apply this to non-pixel (move the eyelid more than just a pixel), but it works best for pixeling.

Learned this style from going around Flipnote Hatena.

Btw, I repeated the blink sequence once and had the frame speed at 0.05 seconds. The pause is at 3.95 seconds so when added with the first frame it makes 4 full seconds.


Uh, I use Photoshop to animate.

This helped a lot!
I always did a lot of eye frames, and even then the animation was kind of messed up! but with this method it is much easier! :"0

In the Windows panel, check on Animation. Not sure which version starts allowing you to do this though, I have CS5.

yo bro
which version of ps/pse do you have? ouo

mine doesn't have that animated thing.
like the timing thing
so i always have to make layers and then export was .gif
with seconds always the same for each frame ;v; (if you understand)
lolbut still works

JAYWlNG In reply to vanilleass [2012-09-05 21:02:56 +0000 UTC]

If you have CS5, in the windows dropdown there should be something saying "animation".
I have Photoshop 8.0, and they have this thing that comes along with it called "Adobe ImageReady". Its the animation program for that version.

vanilleass In reply to mugcake [2012-11-06 23:56:28 +0000 UTC]

each layer would be a frame for the animation,

then do ctrl + shift + alt + s
and find the box that says 'animate' and then you could change the timing

/horrible explanation is horrible

Last time I made a blinking animation, I lowered the eyelid frame by frame so it took forever e_e
now yay I only have to do 3 frames! woot

JAYWlNG In reply to SorbetBerry [2012-09-05 21:03:17 +0000 UTC]

Its actually technically 4 frames, but the 4th frame is just a clone of the second frame. xD
