Tutorial to come later after i make one!

YOU MAY:
-use the base to make icons for you and your friends, whoever
-sell the icons you make IF YOU HAVE PERMISSION FROM ME FIRST, PLEASE SEND ME A NOTE! (so i can watch you and see your progress :D i love seeing people use bases in different ways)*
-use them for club pages, groups, etc.

PIXEL ICON FAQs
Q: What program do you use to make these icons and animate them?
A: I use photoshop CS4 to make these, but there are many different programs you can use to design and animate. check google or ask around!

Q: Why do the frames have numbers next to them?
A: Those are the order of the frames. Frame #5 is the same as frames #7 and #9, to give it that pulsing effect. You can save time by simply copying the frame.

Q: Why are the frames 50x50 when they should come out 100x100?
A: It's easiest to work with pixel icons on the smallest scale. Less detail, but more old-school look. You expand them after putting the frames together.

Q: Why are my lines blurry when I expand the icon?
A: When you expand the icon (in photoshop), you go to image> image size. Change the frame from 50x50 to 100x100. Under that, there should be several check boxes, and a drop down bar, like this. Check all three boxes. Under the drop down bar, select "Nearest Neighbor", then hit "ok".

Please put your questions below and I will answer them for you!


*Dragoneer has sent allegedly sent message to people, saying that the selling of icons from another artist's base is against the 'by you, for you' policy, so i unfortunately, to make sure nobody gets into trouble, am not allowing these icons to be sold by any persons other than myself CURRENTLY. i have a trouble ticket out waiting to be answered to see if this matter can be resolved
