I use light here, and like I said before, they CAN'T bitch.

I don't have an issue with how you make the icons or anything (I've never even used Flash, myself), but on the dark background, the white border pixels are a little distracting when you view one of the icons. That's really the only issue I have with them, and it's a tiny one at that.

stop giving a fuck. its not your problem anyway <3~ and if i were to have it dark, and would have an icon from you AND if it would bug me i'd prolly fix it myself, cuz bitching won't get u anywhere .-.

>i'd prolly fix it myself

This. I could open the GIF up in Animation Shop and take out the "offending" pixels myself.

or give it a background, its probably easier~

Fill Tool + White = easy as pie~

problem solved~

Example, using caitsith's icon: http://i36.tinypic.com/24dhg9k.jpg

that doesnt really show anything with a white background

Save the image, and view it with an image viewer that doesn't have a white background. Trust me, it's an all-white background. :)

not that easy, the white specks are showing up after its made.. I'm not leaving lil white color bits in there for kicks

Well, it's actually easy if you have something that can edit animated GIFs. Open the GIF you create in said animation editor, fill the transparent areas with white, and there you have it. :)

then thats not fixing it, thats just adding a white background to it

True, but it's an easy cop-out to deleting the border/antialiasing pixels by hand. X3 I'd help you out more with this (admittedly minor) issue if I could, but my only experience with Flash is playing Flash movies/games. Sorry I can't be of more help. ^_^;

They bitch just to bitch. it's a furry site, what do you expect?

*growls softly* PLEASE, do not lump all FURRIES into a neat pile and say, " Yep, drama! ". You might offend someone who doesn't wish to be in drama.

*doom and gloom disappears* =) Thank you. <3

*pokes* Let me re-phrase that... While some of us do not LIKE drama, there are those who thrive on it. And, for some reason, there is a very high percentage of those furs who thrive on drama who do nothing but bitch and bitch and bitch... Normally, when they keep to their own circles, they're harmless.

It's when they get out of their little groups for whatever reason (Remember the infamous and biased 'Should FA allow sexual Cub Art debate?', for example? Things like that cause them all to leap out of the wood work!) that the rest of us have to deal with their drivel. ^^ And when that happens, we all stop having fun, and start wanting to thwack folks with clue bats. Better explination?

*nodnod* Better. ^^

but their furrys themselfs

I don't think anyone deserves the right to complain if they get it for free. =) That's my policy. Especially when I work on something for free for someone, and they go, " Well, you didn't draw blahblah's hair right! " too bad, its FREEE! =D

I knows.. out off all the things to complain about why choose the free icon art?

They're stupid to bitch.
D:
If they don't like it, they can fix it.

someone did that & I got alittle mad, not that they did it, just the person they took it too,to fix it but they posted it in their Gallery with info about me >>;

That's rude. I hope someone does the same to them.

I'm still going to make icons.. it just makes me alittle mad reading like Freehaven " Fill Tool + White = easy as pie~" when the white specks apear after the gif is made.. I don't leave lil bit in there.. I do take my time aat zoom 800+ making sure I don't ;3;

Like I said, I don't have experience with Flash, so I have no idea what happens when you convert a Flash animation into a GIF.

Ew everyone, have you heard about that candlegirl chick?

Yeah.

She's a BIRD. EW.

LMFAO. XD

I have no idea how to use flash. I think its great you are making these for people FOR FREE. No matter how you look at it there will always be someone to bitch about something stupid i think its a waste of time..Dont listen to them your doing an awsome job:3

I'm not, wanted to state the fact that I'm still learning flash & the the lil specks are a by product after the gif is made.. hell I'm not gonna stop making them.. tho one of the people that bitch about them was on my list

Yeah, I noticed my name is gone. I'm not going to whine about it, either, like some would probably expect me to do -- if you don't think I deserve one after what I said, I respect your decision and won't press you to change your mind.

lol nice ;3

People need to fucking appreciate free art <3

& Remember that not everyone uses FA dark >3>

I use light. to hell with the people comeplaining! you are doing a very nice thing for everyone! if they don't like it well tough! I don't see them out there makeing 50+ FREE icons!

I know the internet anyone will bitch about anything..

I use dark, but i just thought it was there due to the program cause ive seen it on a bunch of peoples icons(even ones not from you) so its not really a big deal, i used mine with no prob :o

I'm sorry for the rant, it just that when one of the people bsin about it, is on your list for a icon makes one mad ya-know>>

Yea i know wut ya mean, bitchin about free art would remove you from my list ><

I use light for this account, dark for my fursuit account xD But I really prefer the light, and your icons are coooot

thanks

using dark, sortof easier on the eyes. First, ppl whom bitch about free art needs to leave this place, seriously, ungrateful bastards... :/ Your kind enough to do it jeeze. :3

-Z

Yeah..

i'd say as long as you credit who did the original animation (If you know) and are doing it for free, then there really is no problem. It's when people start charging money for animation traces that makes me upset

I use the light background, always have. :P

yeah

i use dark, AND WHOS BEEN SAYING WHAT? >=0 *sends leopard to eat their face*

people who hate how freebie art looks like I guess

i dont even mind the little white spots o.O to tell you the truth i didn even notice them XD

show how picky sum can bee

im with mishie never really noticed thougt tis was part of the animation.also yeah uograteful ppl will start bitchin about everything... even free stuff! but can they make a better one, if they can, then tell the idiot to SOAD!! and make a better one... IF they cant then they shouldt bitch with u they shant not speak or I will send a MGear at them: ) u just tell me and i will do it cuz im with u all the way *poses phoenix wright style*

Waits you make them for free? Okay whos bitchin'? *takes out the giant paddle* Huh? huh?

:D

And on a side note...any chance I can join the waiting list or so? or should I just send you a note about it?

what do you say?

About?

Well I meant that if you make them for free, no one has the right to bitch and that anyone that bitches should be beaten to hell and back...

And asked that if you make them for free if I could have one too...

I said what do you say? ..... >>; was looking for a "Please"

Ooooh! I misunderstood, and your right I did forget to say please!
foolish moi! :P


So if you do make them for free any chance I could please have one?

yes ^^ tho the last guy I remind to say please was bein a little ass about it >>:

Well I just didn't write it but usually I do, so I'm not an ass about it :D

the last guy was like" I even said with a cherry on top.. I'm a very..." acting very smug about it >>

The last guy was the type to bitch too than :P

one thing I'd potentially bitch about is where an avatar came from and stuff originally. You wouldn't trace over an animation of another FA artist without their permission or without giving them proper credit, right ? After all, you are handing out these paint-overs to just about anyone who requests them....

O3o I do give credit to  lilglenndoggy for making the first head spiny

okie then

I had dark for many months and suddenly swiched to light. Just to see how it is X3

I personally use the Dark background. It makes it easier for me to read the text.

I'm all for white >w>
NOT LIKE IM BACKROUND RACIST
everything just looks better >w<
the emotes for FA look better cuz they don't have that square around them, and your GIFs look fantastically perfect =D
bet ur tired of comments. and avatar requests.

Well of the one that don't really say please >>; I ignore the ones like "Free? So I can get a couple from you.." >>;

well then here I go, to set things up right.

Ahem

Pardon me, Mr.Caitsuth511; maker of exquisite animated avatars. It would be a delight if I could please recieve a Pelvic Thrust Avatar from the hands of you, whenever it may be convenient.
Hmm, though...
Wouldn't you find it easier to simply post a blank template to be edited by whomever chooses?
Sincerely Yours, Psychotropic

=D how was that...?

thrustys are eazyer to make @3@ I did that with the head spiny tempplale but noone really dl it

lol I've dl'd about three avatar templates but...
havent had time (nor do I have the skill) to make them look like any of my char...

i use a stylish skin on my FA which is a fire fox add on. But yeah its wrong to bitch about free art.

<Stabs bitchers with screwdriver> Ha!

Anyway, I use the light background now that I discovered you could change it. XD

And you're awesome-sauce'm-sauce, Cait. ^ ^

thanks ^3^

Heehee! This topic has some amusing replies. And YOU are the one who makes those head spinny icons I see all over? They're adorable~ <3 Oh, I digress. The dark background for me, it suits me better. And honestly, I kinda like seeing the white around the avatars. Maybe I'm just weird? xD

I um... sometimes wonder what some of my characters would look like doing that lil head spinny thingy, but I'm not sure which one I should ask all 'pretty please' like, so... eh heh... Asking for more than one just seems greedy of me. *hugs and nuzzles*

I like the please ^3^

Well, of course ^,=,^ I couldn't be expected to ask for anything without saying please, could I? That would just be rude.

wut character did you want spinying? O3o

I can't decide between my lil blue wuff, and my blue dragon. Have you ever tried squeezing two characters into one icon? ^,=,^;
(Blue wolf ish all tiny)

note meh with the ref O3o

Of which one? o,=,o;

both ref plz

i use the dark FA ... cuz im emo like that XD :p

and wtf? geez people cant just like stfu for one second.O., like oooo theres alittle bit of white around it .. big freaking deal... they are still epicly cute and awesome ..lol way better then anything i would do... i cant even draw stick people ..XD lol but yeah i had no idea you wer doing them for free... FREE and people wer still bitching... man.. that makes me wanna go shoot myself in the face D= lol for free art its damn good.. hell even if it wasnt it would be damn good..lol some people just like to make drama.. no listen tot hem.. cuz your icons rock!! ^^

A friend of mine got a new avatar from you and I wanted to say that It really does look amazing, and was wanting to ask if I could please have my name aded to the list- o- wonderful -icon wanters ^^
There we go! heeh
on a side note..I like dark....if I ever log into m,y account here on a different public comp, I think the light is way bright and attracts more attention...and I feel things are easier to see with the dark ^^

And its prett dumb to ask free favors and then complain about the wonderfulness that you have recieved...I mean..honestly? thats just dumb! and Rude not to mention!

i have yet to figure out how to get rid of the white specks >__< but to the bitchers, id say ignore em if there so angry at the why your service looks then don't give it to them and tell em to stop using your stuff :p iv seen your avis every ware in all sorts of styles so i wouldn't even suggest that you traced them O_o anyway sorry if this is a old journal, just happened by it and wanted to post :p have a good day love

dont let it get to you, flash is a key factor in the industry now so learning it is vital, i havnt even tried it properly yet (usually draw individual cels then import them). And im an animation graduate! - my college sucked ass, i cant get a job now because they always require experience with flash.

keep it up, i think theyre great..and i will probably be asking for tips. The important thing about animation is the spirit and movement..not how smooth and clean it looks like a certain ben 10 cartoon >_<.

as for the FA skin, i like the light background.

I did take a animation class in high school but that was mostly stop motion & at a time before my doodles looked furry XD Still trying to learn flash.. so far.. I know how to make gifs.. & crapy looped flash movies o.o;

but everyone likes gifs, look at my avi lol,
and i paid for it too.

Well they have better skill then me ^^ Kinda why I don't charge for them A its practice & B if it looks off can't complain cuz its free X3

it dosent bug me at all it makes it look like your a god glowing in the sky.
