Description
There's a version of this that the icon at the bottom blinks, I just can't upload it in the right category on dA =w= So I'll add a link to that later.Anyway, this is how I made my current icon only that required a little more artistic skill because my icon eats itself. This is very basic but I hope it's helpful!
If you use this for an icon, I'd love to see your icon afterward! just leave a comment!
Yeah, other then that, this is self explanatory. And made on GIMP. Lol

Thanks so much! I was wondering sooooo much how everyone had animated avatars.

Sweet! I used this to make my first icon (the current one). Not all that ambitious, but I'm psyched that I now understand the rudiments of basic animation

I didn't realize this was so easy. Thought you'd need heaps of other stuff.
And I already have gimp! Yay me, I'll go make a proper avatar now. xD

If you spent alot of time doing it, could you make an avatar like my current one?

Do you have to draw the image or can you insert a selection of pictures already on your hard drive?

the Export file didnt show up is it suppose to?

I'm not sure if someone has already asked this,(or maybe if I'm asking an obvious question OTL) but, when you save it as an animation, does it automatically repeat the animation cycle when you save, or do you have to copy it a kabajillion times? D; jus' wondering OTL

I tried up loading an animated icon following your steps but then a pop up 'said': 'Unable to set up avatar - DiFi argument validation error'. What does that mean?
