@CelestialSushi:

Ah thats a good way of doing it! I've seen some of those ones around the internet but didn't know how they were created xP
I'll probably experiment quite a bit when I get going on it... And on DA, I can post anything like that so it's convenient in that way.

@MangaKid:

Yeah, especially if you want them to look right. Me? I would capture images from some of my favorite CDs with the DVD player on my computer, and then put them in the GIF maker. It worked, but sometimes it was either too fast or too slow. And because it was in my earlier computer days, if I wanted a special effect, I think I drew it in with Paint on each frame.

@CelestialSushi:

AH I see... They can be fun to make but time-consuming eh? :/

@Dragoncia:

Thankyou for passing along her gallery!!! ^_^

I've made GIFs before, not of my own art, but I've made them. I just don't have the program I used to make them installed anymore...

I've seen this one person that does a lot of cute animation on Deviantart. :)

Here is the link to her profile: http://nami-tsuki.deviantart.com/

@MangaKid:

No problem. ^^b Have fun!

@kita mikichi:

Thankyou a million!!! I really appreciate the tutorials :)

@MangaKid:

I did that one with a mix of tutorials I found.

DA (duplicating layers)
Google (arranging, timing and saving)

@kita mikichi:

Your is SO CUTE!!! I'd love to try something like that, but it looks like lots of work ^^" Thanks for sharing ur with me, Kita!

I have seen some great animations on DA, though not necessarily gif animations. I did one of Naoyuki as an experiment, too! ^^

@Kaerlyn:

AH thankyou Anna!! Once I get going on this project, I'll contact her if I have questions (which I will certainly have some xP)!

@Keba Si Rota:

You did a great job on it though! :D I've made mine on a free gif site without many options.
WAH!!! That makes it even more awesome though, to know that you put so much effort into it <3

Thats ok! You've inspired me for sure <3

The best person I know of to ask would be Aishia on here. She is an absolute sweetie and I am sure she has some good tips as she often animates her cards ^^

The only real animation I've done is this weird thing. It's not a GIF, though. It's hand-drawn and imported in Flash. Since I didn't have a preloading screen, the first go-around is pretty slow.

This 16-second animation took me FOREVER. I'm talking, like, at least a month. It was nothing like I had expected. If I ever animated anything again, it will not be hand drawn.

Sorry I can't help you with the GIF thing. As I think about it, I did make little animations once, but that was a decade ago, and the programs I used are quite extinct.

She's done an awesome job!!!
AH thanks for the warning x)

@:

Wow that is so cool that your cousin does some animation!! Thanks so very much for passing her website to me, I'll make sure to contact her in my free time! Thats really awesome :)
