Both sprits look really nice, maybe someday I can do pixel art like that.

I decided to try and work on a more complex being myself and maybe a litte VFX while I was at it. Wow, this stuff is addictive! And it's easier then drawing by hand, I'd say.

*sigh* I made these smiley's
Image
but I don't know how to animate them, I'd like to make some smiley's for myself (and maxcoderz if they accept them), but I... don't know how ...so If anyone could help that would be nice. I did all my origional work on MS Paint. Also, how do you make transparent pixels (right now they are just white)? It doesn't necessarily have to be in paint brush, I just need to know the process for making animated smiley's (that would include transparent pixels). What program should I use?

We need to get a new avatar thread back up. :) Im surprised that it was closed...it did get a bit repetitive but are other more pointless threads that have been kept open. :roll:
