when you do "save as" I think there might be a check box for loop or something? if not I don't know how to fix it :c

Such an amazing tutorial! Thank for sharing your skills!

I'm having a problem with animation. How can I put the other eyes into the frames? I can only get the same image all the time -total n00b- T ^ T

Please don't hit meh~

niaro In reply to YukiHyo [2010-08-14 07:22:07 +0000 UTC]

You need to add frames yourself

1st Frame open

so you have the eyes open with the two other eye layers hidden -> make a new frame

2nd frame half lidded

same thing -> make a new frame

and so on. always end the entire cycle with a half lidded layer cuz it's going in a cycle.

FFUUU I am retarded. Despite my saving the image as a .gif it still comes up as a static image... I can't seem to figure out what I am doing wrong...

LevitatingShrubbery In reply to TheOddDolly [2010-08-13 01:07:22 +0000 UTC]

.gifs can be animations or static images. When I do this, a box pops up and asks which I mean it to be. Maybe you're just clicking through without reading boxes?

TheOddDolly In reply to LevitatingShrubbery [2010-08-13 01:11:58 +0000 UTC]

It's animated when it's a thumbnail... but the fullsized version doesn't blink... I'm going to check that. >_<
