Here's the second animated icon template i have, this one I only ever made one custom icon of as it was mostly just a test, but a lot of people have wanted it, so i'm making this template available too.

You can download the template zip file here: www.trezhurisland.com/FA_downloads/companion_cube_icon.zip

Inside the zip file you'll find 2 PSD files:
1) the character base. this is where you make the pixelart work of your custom character.
2) the animation base. Once you've made your character, flatten and copy it into this animation base PSD and align them to the default base layer. All you then have to do is create an 13-frame animation displaying one of the designated frames at a time and you're done. These frames need to be cycled once to make the animation complete. eg: you animate the frame layers in the following order:: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 (you don't need to do 1 again as it's a repeating animation).

This template is NOT to be used by others as a way to make commission icons or any other way of making money off of this template. I'm putting it up here free for all to use and enjoy.
