Description
♫ character (kyara) & art (c) kokotea | ✗ do not repost anywhere without permission! | ✗ not a free icon! this is for my personal use only!i wanted an icon for myself so i made my own version of the miku icon i posted last week
it was hard getting the color palette right ;_; especially when kyaras normal outfit looked weird when pixelled
so i went with a plain white dress instead
edit: also just noticed the bangs are of the wrong direction... i forgot i flipped the direction of the icon//weeps
anyway ive been pixelling a lot this week since i didnt want to plug my tablet
i also made a bunch of icons that i might post later (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:・ﾟ✧
i just dont want to spam you guys with pixel icons only, so ill try to post some normal art in the middle

When you draw your icons how many frames do you use? (is you even use frame animation to make them lol)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, i do use frame by frame animation for pixel art.
as for how many frames... it depends.
because da has a limit of 15kb for icons,
i force myself to stay under that for all icons.
unfortunately that means cutting down frames,
as sometimes frames can take a lot of kb.
so for my icons you can see anywhere from 30 frames to 100,
depending on how much small animations i add.
the smallest amount of frames is 2 or 3, generally for simple bouncing.

Wow... 30-100? That's a lot of work haha.
Yeah I know it's easier for a character to blink or bounce, but making a whole body fluently move is another story.
Thank you for replying! I was just curious to how you did that amazing animation.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yes, it takes a while to set the timing right.
sometimes it can take an hour or two to get things done smoothly
its not that bad tho. a lot of the frames are just repeated sequences.
like for example, if you take my snowglobe icons, i have the snow running
non-stop in the background, so that few frames is always repeated.
usually you would only like 3-4 frames for such a simple animation,
but if you want to add other things like blinking, you need to repeat them a lot.
having them blink every second is unatural. so you need at least a few second buffering
period between each blink. but during that period, the snow is also moving in the bg, right?
so instead of just having one frame set to a few seconds, you fill that few seconds up with
smaller frames where it constantly snows. thats why while snowglobe icons can be considered
easy animation, it still takes them about 60 frames to get the animation look natural and smooth.
in comparison, the rpg icon are much more complex even tho it has the same amount
(or even less, sometimes) of frames than the snowglobe icons. the details are just more
complex, and not as repetitive, so it takes longer to set up, too.
(especially if you have a file size limit, trying to stay under limit while keeping it smooth is time consuming)

Dang... I get what you mean, to make it seem more natural you have to manipulate certain frames... But that doesn't mean it all has to be different frames. Ahh, so that's how people get their animation to look more life-like...
I just picked up this icon animation stuff a few months ago, and I'm still trying to make them flow in movement.
Greatly appreciate the advice! I need a lot of information as possible if I want to get better... Especially from those who actually know what they are doing haha...
Thank you!
