Description A lot of people were asking me how I did my pixel avvies... So yeah... this is how I do them... ._.

Mister Poop is going to help you out XD

My tutorial is crap >.< I know it's really confusing, so you'll be pretty lucky if you can interpret it >.<

Used 's icon as an example. I hope you don't mind ._.

EDIT: If you make an icon with this tutorial, TELL ME!!! I would really like to see it! X3

EDIT x2: Wow, thank you so much for all the faves and the cute avvies you've been making ;_; I'm sorry, but I won't be able to fave all of them anymore o_< The numbers have been overwhelming, and honestly I never really thought that it would really get all these views O_O However, please don't stop showing them to me! I really love looking at all of them ;A;

how did you get the border around the pixel?

Just outline the pixel with a color. But you have to do it in every slide if you're doing an animation.

I made this avatar with the help of Mr.Poop. it was so easy and so much fun! Never new crap could be so helpful.XD

I just wanna say that Photoshop CS3 doesn't have Save Optimized As, instead you use the Save for Web and Devices.

vajrasana In reply to ChiiSanCullen [2008-09-28 18:07:03 +0000 UTC]

start out with a 50x50 canvas zoom in and draw the sketch, then zoom out to see it finished. That's what I would do. Though I haven't made one yet D:

Great tutorial. I can't believe I finally succeeded in something that is pixelated. Your instructions were so clear and descriptive I couldn't go wrong. I made my avatar with this tutorial, which can be seen here [link] . Thanks for this tut. Well done.
