Thank you so much for answering my question. The animations like the ones you have in your Ben Barnes gallery catch my eye (that would be the third avatar). The animations of Lee Dong Wook's avatars too. The first one above is beautiful. Have an excellent day <3
Hello again dear anonymous person!
Well, it's nothing fancy, but I made a short video. I recorded the steps to make this kind of animation! I hope it helps you!
Unfortunately, my Photoshop is in French. But here are the steps will be available bellow the video :
1) You have to open your avatar (jpg or png) in Photoshop.
> I like to use one that is already styled. I just need to add the animation.
2) Create a folder (I named it ANIM) in your layers panel.
> This step is optional, but I like to do it to keep everything clean and easy to find.
3) Create your first empty layer in the folder, name it clearly.
> I choose 1 because it'll be my animation's first frame.
4) Draw the elements you want in your animation with the pen tool in the color of your choice.
> Here I choose the rough shapes of the flowers
5) Create a new layer in your anim folder and draw the second frame of your animation.
> In this step I like to keep the old layer visible so I can see where I put my first animation layer. This is optional.
6) Repeat step 5 and create a third layer for the animation.
> I like to do 3 to 5 layers, depending on the animation I decided to do, but nothing more to make them really light.
7) When all your layers are done with drawing, hide them all with the little eye in the layer panel.
8) Open the Timeline window.
> If it's not already open, you can find it in the "Window" menu of your Photoshop) and make sure you have the "Frames" selected (if you see a timeline, you're not in the right mode, you can easily change it by selecting the 3 little squares at the bottom of the window).
9) You should have an existing frame once you are in the timeline mode. If not, click on "create frame animation".
10) Then click on the little [+] button at the bottom to add a frame near the trash. If you have 3 layers, make sure you have 3 frames
11) Select all 3, then click on the 0s and choose 0.1s (this will control the duration of the frame animation)
12) Select your first frame > then make your layer 1 visible. // Select your second frame > then hide your layer 1 and make your layer 2 visible. // Select your third frame > then hide your layer 2 and make your layer 3 visible.
13) Then you can "save for web" and play your gif to see if you like it!
Again I hope this helps!
Enjoy your creation time!
May you make a lot of nice things that makes you happy!
some people have asked about making zines, and i've seen a lot of people in the tags talk about wanting to make some but don't know how... so here is a zine (technically two) about making zines! wowza! pardon the handwriting lol
there are other methods of making zines that require a stapler or sewing, but this one-page zine is the simplest form of it.
i hope this makes sense, feel free to ask if anything is unclear :]
I LOVE YOUR ART SM, ESPECIALLY THE MIKU ONES, YOUR SHADING ALSO REMINDS ME OF STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE(the old one) IF YOU DON'T MIND CAN YOU A TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU MADE YOUR ART LOOK SO.... SOFT??? AND LIKE BRIGHT?🫶🫶🫶🫶🫶
Awe thank you! Have a Cherry ShortMiku
I rushed the loose "Tutorial":
Its a bit messy Its 8:30 am i havent slept yet hahhaaha! So basically colors right? IiiIII also am not knowledgeable with color theory but if it looks good it looks good ya know? I sometimes dont get satisfied with the end game so sometimes I adjust the overall illustration's HUE/CONTRAST/BRIGHTNESS/SATURATION etc. These adjustments are crucial imo! To make the entire illustration homogenous, adjustments are necessary! anyway
all of my illustrations most times arent just a fully step by step thing. Sometimes I go back to a layer, I adjust, I get frustrated that sometimes it doesnt look the way it should be in my head. I think people have been asking me how I draw but honestly couldnt find the energy and time to do so until now granted its a bit of a mess ;-; I think its just that I couldnt give a step by step since I myself am chaotic with my layers and progress which is the FUN part imo -u- so thats it- hopefully it explains the basics(?)
It was my first time performing The Ceremony of the Fangs, so they turned out a little crooked, but I think they still look very nice. I painted one of them gold to match her nose and the gold flecks in her fur. Thank you for the tutorial, Auntie! @gothiccharmschool
Thank you so much everyone for your kind words on my Cal Kestis cosplay!!! It was a blast to wear around the con, and I can't wait to wear it again!
My mom graciously was the one who made my cosplay, and she did an amazing job!!! She is a very talented seamstress, and I def need to learn how to sew from her haha BD-1 I got from Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland, and my lightsaber I got from Disneyland as well.
Options/offerings for the pop-up shop have expanded dramatically and I still have 3 more ideas to walk through to completion (or the trash bin, who knows). They are going on the backburners for now, though, because I need a break from drawing dinluke by... writing dinluke. Makes sense.
✧・゚ A short and easy workaround for Reblogs with Beta & XKit Rewritten
Disclaimer: This also seems to work with old Legacy-Threads when reblogging with the new Beta-Editor bc XKit Rewritten doesn’t work with Legacy. The whole trimming order and process of both combined can be confusing, but it’s important so the post doesn’t get fucked up. So technically, it's also helpful for Beta-Reblogging in general. (video below)
SO, IF YOU WANT TO AVOID DOUBLE-POSTING of your own reblog, do the following:
Hit reblog (make sure you’re using Beta).
Enter reply, whatever.
Safe to drafts.
Remove the first post with Trim Reblogs.
Safe.
Refresh drafts.
Remove your own reply that now shows twice with the Beta-Editor. You will only have one option to remove here, so that makes it easy.
Refresh.
Tadaaa.
In this way you can preserve your partner's reply if you want to, since the blockquote-format won't work like that anymore. So hopefully, reblogs with the Beta-Editor & XKit Rewritten should be easier now for you and your partners without having to move your whole Legacy-Thread to a new post after this measure. I am very nostalgic over my old stuff, so that's a reason why I don't want to do it. If you have additions or experience possible errors, feel free to add them.
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS WILL ONLY WORK if your partner reblogged their response without any XKit-Extension. Just a plain reblog.
Oh my god they’re finally almost done! The Superboy ones took me somehow nearly 5 hours. Curves are the fucking worst when trying tocut cardboard neatly. My exactoknife is getting dull super fast from this unfortunately so I’ll likely have to go out and get replacements tomorrow.
I think they look super nice and I’m very happy with how they turned out! Just waiting on the glue for the SB logos to dry so I can attach them to the shortbox!
finally geting into zero escape here are my thoughts so far:
good :)
tutorial dragged on for way too long but thats just a spike chunsoft thing in my experience (looking at you RAINCODE with your SIX HOUR PROLOGUE/TUTORIAL /j)
the music is. really unnerving and i hope that changes
silver guy is pretty
i already know im going to like clover cuz ive seen her already from other people
junpei is like really stupid /neutral statement
ive only gotten to the part where they learn the rules of the game so stay tuned for princeumin's epic zero escape reaction
