Description Okay, I have no idea what category this belongs in, so I guessed. Behold! my first ever pixel avatar with animation! Go me! I know it's only an eye blink, but since I've never attempted any type of animation whatsoever before this, I think I have a right to be proud that it came out pretty decent. Maybe someday I'll be able to do an ear twitch or a tail wag, too!

Enough about me now. This avatar is a gift for my dear friend , who is graduating from college with honors this Saturday. She's not having a party, but that doesn't mean I can't toss a few presents in her direction! I hope you enjoy this little Phantom bunny, Roni dear; I'm not sure that this is what you username refers to, but I figured it was a pretty safe bet for an avid a theater-goer like you. Now you can make your DA page all pretty, if you like. Congratulations on your degree; I knew you could do it!

I think I like it too much to put it in scraps yet. ^_^ If I ever get really good at pixel icons, I might change my mind about this one, but until then I think it's doing fine where it is. Thanks! I have no idea when I'll get the courage to do another one, but we'll see...

This looks amazing! You really rock at this pixel art! There was a time I used to make pixel art, it was so many years ago.. when microsoft paint was just about the only computer art program there was xD Man I feel old now...

Anyway I really like this and think you should give animation another go some time, it's worth the hard work yus it is

It looks amazing! You're getting REALLY good at pixel art. What'd you use to animate it?

Yay! Yeah, it was fun! I'll have to do more pixel art sometime. I'd like to make avatars with more animation, too, but we'll just see if I ever get to that point (which I doubt due to my lack of patience and ability to draw the same thing the same way twice XD).

Anyway, I used Photoshop Elements 3.0 to make this because that's what I use for everything. I didn't even know about Windows Movie Maker until I read about it in someone's comment and checked to see if I have it. And then I didn't use it because I don't know how.

Well... I don't think Windows Movie Maker can make animated avatars. It's a really limited program. D:

Oh. Well I just came across a comment where someone was telling someone else that they could use Windows Movie Maker to animate something. I actually can't remember what it was they wanted to animate. Anyway, I'm fine with my PS Elements. I can't really draw right for animation to begin with, so it's not like I need anything fancy!

It's hard to animate with WMM cause you have to imprt each picture and make each one REALLY short on the storyboard... but well that's all I have so I use it now and then. (I might try out Dumisa as soon as I can get more Hyena and Cheetah soundclips.)

You can so draw right for animation. D8<

Aw, thanks! But what I mean is that I have a very hard time drawing anything the same way twice, and since you have to make all the drawings the exact same shape, in the exact same spot on the paper (unless you want animation of warped-looking characters jumping all over the place ), my animation would probably be a mess.

Omg, yes, you should SO animate Dumisa! That would be awesome.

Amanda!! I'm in awe!! And awww, too! You guessed right...POTO - what else? LOL!! The avatar is amazing! It's...it's...PERFECT!!!! I'm tearing up over here...Kleenex!! Need Kleenex!!! You are THE BEST!!! Thanks for all your encouragement, and especially for the cheerleading during my thesis. This is so special - I'm showing EVERYONE!! Absolutely made my day! Love you lots and lots and lots!!

Whew, I'm glad it was POTO; I almost made a transparent ghost rabbit because I was thinking of the wrong kind of phantom. Then I had an "aha!" moment and realized what it must be. I'm SO glad you like it! It was fun to make, too. It just made me sad to see your lonely, gray icon box when I knew that your username had so much potential for cuteness! ^_^ Everyone deserves a fun avatar, especially you, since you've worked so hard. I will be happy to cheer for you anytime you need it.

Oh, and this isn't the only present, either, but you'll have to wait till the actual graduation to get the other one. If I can't find you in the melee to give it to you, I suppose I can mail it. We shall see...
