Did you save it as a .psd file? If that fails, go to file->save for web-> and then save it as a .gif

muffinonie In reply to HoshiKan [2009-06-27 05:17:02 +0000 UTC]

On your userpage (or whatever you'd call it), next to your icon there should be a thing that says "edit"

muffinonie In reply to Stivertsen [2009-01-27 01:23:38 +0000 UTC]

Save it as a .png maybe?
The .psd files are usually huuuuge
Make sure you keep the original .psd too though

muffinonie In reply to izumi-demon [2009-01-08 22:39:29 +0000 UTC]

I think any program with layers and use of a pencil tool equivalent would work
You could probably even use MS Paint. I just don't know how to make things transparent in that :c

But thank you 8D

I thought about making some. But then I ended up using two of them for icon requests =/

Do you think people would use any bases I made?

Eviwolf [2008-09-11 21:20:09 +0000 UTC]

Aww, thank you. I might do this, just 'cuz I can now. xD
And, if you want me to send you some monies by snail-mail or draw you a picture in return for my icon, I will. 8D
I don't mind, and I like to reward people when they do things for me~. Just let me know what you want and I'll see what I can do, m'kay?
It can be payment + birthday present, and then it all works out.
