(The Durbe pic is just a preview image; this is an animated gif!)

I think it's about time I reveal something I've been making for a while- animated snowglobes! This is the most recent snowglobe I've made, to commemorate the end of the Yugioh zeXal anime. It's the biggest and most complex(inside picture-wise) snowglobe I've made to date. To make snowglobes like this one, I first make the picture to go inside the globe using GIMP. Then I open that picture in animation shop 3 and import it to paint shop pro 7(I have old free trials of both programs on this laptop; somehow the free trials broke and I can keep using them indefinitely even though they should have expired long ago XD). I use the picture tube tool to add the snow, globe, and base(I have tubes for snow, a glass globe, and a base that I got from www.angelfire.com/la3/juanita2… ) each on separate layers(I use three different snow layers plus the globe layer and the base layer), and I taught myself how to change the color of the base. Once that's done, I hide two of the three snow layers, merge visible, and copy the merged image into GIMP before undoing the merge, unhiding the next snow layer and hiding the previous one, and rinse and repeat until I've got a 3-layer image in GIMP which I then transparentize again and save as an animated gif.

I have a bunch of other zeXal snowglobes which you can find on my tumblr here: arctic-angel.tumblr.com/post/7…

Sprites used are Clash! Duel Carnival sprites except Vector's which is the same shinbeju sprite I'v used before and given credit for before.
