So I've been noticing all the awesome animated avatars made by :iconbrackenhawk: and resulted in this thought process:

:bulletblue: "Wow, those are great. I kinda wish I had one."
:bulletblue: "Point commission, huh? I suppose grabbing a few points would be worth it..."
:bulletblue: "Took around an hour, hm? I wonder how hard they are to make."
:bulletblue: "...I wonder if I could make one...?"
:bulletblue: *Proceeds to open GIMP*

So yea, with nary an experience point in animation under my belt, I managed to drum this up in about 2 hours. It's not nearly as awesome as :iconbrackenhawk:'s work, but it gives me a fuzzy feeling knowing that it's my own! :nod:

Your first attempt? Geeze, my attempts aren't nearly that good! My last animation took several hours.
And it was fail. GIMP wouldn't let me change the timing for some reason.

The animation is very smooth and the subtle shading is great!
Great work!

Fun fact: if you append a time count at the end of a layer name, it gets used in the timing in the animation.

For example, if I change the name "Frame1" to "Frame1(1000ms)", that frame will stall for that much time before moving to the next frame! Give it a try! :la:

And thanks for the comment! :D

I know, it just changed back to what it originally was. I always change it to a GIF file before fiddling with the timing, and it asks me to set a default time to use unless otherwise specified, but this time around it wouldn't change.
Thanks for the input, nonetheless. I should fiddle with that in the future.

You're so welcome!

Uh...nope! I should think of one. I noticed some costumes appearing in the group. Is there an event going on, or is it just that time again?

True enough! I might be able to come up with something if my class schedule would take a chill pill. I'll have to see what happens!
