What happens when I am bored....... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

These are so awesome!

Do you guys just make them on Paint? And Eowyn Skywalker, I love your little Boromir and Galadriel icons! Makes me want to get painting! Of course, mine would end up looking like bad Atari graphics. Or colored squares. Same thing. Heck, I'm still trying to make me an avatar. When you save on Paint, do you have to title it <title>.jpg or .jpeg or something in order to get it to work?

In response: I make all of my "chibi series" icons on Paint and save them as .gif files so that I can animate them once I get a program that will let me do so (as long as it isn't too expensive!)

I usually make mine on Adobe Photo Deluxe, or Paint Shop, though I used paint on my axe.

We have a program to animate them somewhere... I don't know where at the moment... but I don't think it was too expensive...

If anyone knows where I could find Star Wars animations now... I spend a lot of time trying to find LOTR ones... snrk.

And no, Maeggaladiel, you don't have to type in the 'JPEG'. If the program cand save as JPEG, then look down. There should be a scroller button. However, in my experience with Paint, I can only save as Bitmap. Not TIF, or GIF, or JPEG, but Bitmaps. Dang thing.

The Barrow-downs needs more icons. I think I'm going to try make a leaf one now...

Oh, and thanks for reviewing the Candies of Doom, Amariden! I've started on the sequel, if you're interested...

Thanks for keeping this thread alive, Eowyn Skywalker! I enjoy the icons and animated gifs quite a lot, but have never tried to make one. I think now would be a good time to add another one of my captions, though, just in case anyone is interested:

Cheers!

Suliad mae govannen mellon-nin! Forgive me for not posting in so long....I've been sick with a very bad case of the flu that rendered me unable to return to the fair Downs.

I hope everyone will accept my humble apologies.....and....here's a little thank-you to Eowyn Skywalker: A PIPPEN ICON THAT I MADE FOR YOU LAST NIGHT!!!!

OoOoO and he's so heroic in his Gondorian armour!

Eowyn Skywalker · 04-29-2004, 01:39 AM

THANK YOU, AMARIDEN!!!!! *Hugs* Pippin is so cute!!!! And I am really glad that you're not sick anymore. But I couldn't let this thread die!

And, Lyta, the pic was very funny. I liked it.

KEEP IT UP, EVERYONE!!!
