Q: I have a few questions. Where do you pull your colors from? Do you take them from the picture; or do you pick them on your own?
A: I picked the colors on my own. Why do you ask?

I'd like to know how you get an animated profile picture like yours Novally.

I'd like to know how you get an animated profile picture like yours Novally.

If you mean how the picture moved, it's a file format: GIF. The format does have a limit like being palette-based and transparency works on an on/off basis instead of an 8-bit alpha channel as in PNG.

Anyway, there are single-frame gif images but some can be animated. A lot of programs that aren't MS Paint support animation nowadays; free tools that come to mind for this are GIMP and Paint.NET (with a plugin).

Paid programs include GIF Movie Gear and Photoshop.

I'm fairly sure tools like ImageMagick can create animated GIFs but those tools are rather unintuitive, thus I'd recommend not trying it if you're not intimately familiar with using programs on the command-line.

Edit: Actually I can make a GIF or few for you if you want. Just send me the individual frame images and tell me the ms delay between each one (or in general).

[TheMario360]

Ah. okay then.

You need to make king boo bigger

[TheMario360]

....how much bigger? I'll start with 2 pixels

forget it, i'm just going to make him bigger

[Garamonde]

yea just a few pixels bigger would work as he is larger than the average Boo.

[TheMario360]

King boo is finally bigger

Cool. I'll make sprites (or as you could probably tell edit) in an animation sequence. I just need to know where to send it when it's done.

I still think King Boo needs to be a bit bigger, keep the crown the same size though, too give the illusion that king boo is bigger than he actually is. King boo's tongue should be a bit lighter to go with the pale look of a ghost. Your shading is fine, it will work with your other sprites!

Private message works.

Posting something for the sake of posting something. nothing important.

What sprite editing software are you using?

[TheMario360]

Um... I only use MS Paint. Why do you ask?

[Xeroph]

Just wondering, any way the stars bottom two points are larger than the other points.

[TheMario360]

Like my other post says, I just "posted something for the sake of posting something" So, I won't do any improvement work on it.

That's the reason sometimes for people having poor values on their sprites. Anway there is still a huge lack of contrast man. the tongue looks a bit better though. the shades match too closely.

As for my icon. It was created by Warusaki3. A pixel artist I admire, although I believe this is edited and not made from scratch. He's into Mugen a lot so he made Yoko as a playable Mugen character.
