Well, I tried to make an animated avatar.
*Points to avatar*
What do you guys think? It's my first actual animated thing.

Hmm, the positioning and smoothness can be improved on your avatar. To be honest, 2 frame animations are very seldom used.

Yeah, you should try adding more frames. It's really pixelly, too, but I don't know if you could help that. Maybe if you changed a few settings when saving it. http://pokecommunity.com/images/smilies/Normal/ermm.gif
But it's a great job for a first animated thing. ^^

Meh, I just tinkered anound with the first one. xD
The second is funny, but I can't resize it in any way to fit my avatar. xD
Oh well, it can go nicely in my siggy. I do admit. I totally screwed up on the first one. The sniffing one has to be the best thing I ever made when it comes to using my Image Ready.

Ok, I shall make an avatar for you aqua-guard! ^^
And could someone resize my "Sniffing" animation so I can use it for a avatar? Thankies.

sadly, gif's can't be resized. unless you mean pixel resizing, there's nothing you can really do. :\

Yeah, I always knew GIFs were trouble when it came to long animations. That's why I always stuck to PNGs. But PNG files can't be animated, so pixel resizing or just taking away a few of the animation slides should help. But then it would still be too big.

yeah, maybe not in pixels, but in file size. *shrugs*

Yes, but how to do that? I have had troubles with my animations. Like when I save it and I have to specially save it as an Optimized GIF file. I don't wanna ruin my animation because if I take some slides, I might just make my animation look out of place.

well, you take the animation, and resize each layer to what you want it to be... that's how i'd do it at least.

Meh, might be worth a shot. xD
I was so shocked on my Image Ready when I was making my animation and it said it was 19 animation slides. o.0
But I'll try that. I'll resize it to 90x90. Hopefully I won't ruin it.

Well, I had connextion problems, so sorry if I wasn't online these past two days. But I resized the "Sniffing" animation and finally got to use it for my avatar. But it doesn't look right.
