Animated Icon Tutorial [w. Adobe ImageReady]

[freakinmi]

Hello Kids and welcome to the show!

Today I am going to teach you a little about making your very own animated icons. Keep in mind, that I am also new in this field, so I can only share with you what little knowledge I have managed to gather so far. Meaning I will not be able to overcomplicate stuff either. Unfortunately my screenshots show Danish

Hoshit what a tutorial indeed! I'm happy to see I've the software needed already installed.

I'm so glad you did this one! *curtsey* I'll put it in my memories.

The example icon is adorable btw, the fan service one somehow disturbing and hot at the same time. :D It's like shota - washboard abs - shota - washboard abs - etc
Makes me dizzy.

xD Indeed, it just kept growing for reasons that are beyond me. I don't hope the sheer volume of it scares anyone off though.

=D I wanted to do an icon with this anyways, so the only trouble was writing the text and remembering some rules and the like.

xD hot and disturbing, that's just the way I like it <3

Loving your new layout :) especially the three little pics on the top right

I've always wanted to learn how to make icons but never had the time - but I've put your entry into memories and it'll be my Christmas break project :)

:3 Unfortunately I cannot take any credit for the layout, but yes it is very cool indeed!

^^ I hope to see loads of nice icons from you in the new year then =D
It's not that hard, I just put in way to much information and details in the tutorial ^^

^^ Pressure's on - more than likely it will take me ages to figure it out - it took me a good couple of months to familiarise myself with lj... meh technology...

Haha, hopefully it won't be that hard to learn ^^

Memming! <3 Thank you so much for doing this ^o^ The capturing-the-frames part was really helpful, I didn't know that trick ^^ I knew about the tweening but I was doing 1 or 2 frames and it was kinda crappy ^^UU oh, and the reverse-tip was really useful too, gotta do that one next time :D

=D

I'm happy that you found it useful! Means my work here is done ;D
