I made an animation tutorial for GIMP on my website ^^ [link]

There's also some further information showing how I animated my Elven Archer, but it's probably easier to read that after the other one ^^ [link]

Sometimes I might have to erase and redraw parts, but usually I can manage with simply moving small areas around ^^ And generally I will draw those areas on separate layers, so that way they don't interfere with the pieces underneath as much. Of course, it all depends on what you're animating too - bouncing up and down can be as simple as moving the top half of the doll down and back up again. Twirling around in a circle though would mean drawing each view separately, so it would take a lot longer.

This tutoral made me go crazy when i made the hair on my (current) Avi. D:
I made the hair shiny, shinier and then...
EPICLY SHINY! :'D
Wanted to redo it, since it didin't look so realistic, but... Whatever...

So cute! I love the little flag, there's a lot of detail in it, which can be hard to do in that size ^^

Thank you so much for this tutorial!
I'm going to create myself a pixel avatar then!

btw, when it comes to animated ones, do you use Photoshop programs, or other (asking of curiosity ^ ^)

Can it be used for boys...?

kawaiihannah In reply to LoneDom [2010-05-16 21:37:07 +0000 UTC]

I would hope that the ideas are even applicable to pixelling a cat XD

So long as you're following the basics - sketching the clothing/hair, tidying the outlines and then colouring, that's basically what pixel art is ^^

LoneDom In reply to kawaiihannah [2010-05-17 00:36:40 +0000 UTC]

Lol... The only problem is that i use Paint... XP

kawaiihannah In reply to LoneDom [2010-05-17 08:50:51 +0000 UTC]

Na, that's not too much of a problem ^^ The thing I found most annoying about Paint was picking colours (it just took a little longer than usual) XP But there are palettes out there for use, and it's not too bad after that

So pretty *u*
This is an amazing tutorial, as well as the one on your website.
I actually created a pixel ( I haven't used the dithering technique yet) and I uploaded it on DA. Not as good as yours at all >.<;;
