I haven't actually asked much about this but I want to ask if anyone can help me out on making a gif avatar for the forums? I actually have tried to make one on a site but they either ended up as too big for the number or too small where it seems a bit weird for me (I did followed the 100 x 125 but I couldn't get them at 51 kb unless I make them smaller which again... it kinda makes it feel a bit weird tho honestly).

The other attempt was on Photoshop but I think I did something wrong on this since I basically used a premade gif from tumblr (even tho I was more trying to test it) and it really didn't showed the option from what I have checked from some YouTube videos (unless I'm missing something because at one attempt I pretty much tried to do it and instead they separated the gif into different frames which wasn't what I actually wanted as a result, and note no its not when I open the gif, its after when I go to export).

If anyone can help me out on this it would be very appreciated.

Edited: If anyone wants to know what I want as a Gif avatar, its basically this.



I know this can't be done entirely at least gif wise but I want at least to have this, since I like Shizuru a lot and this is pretty much my favorite highlight of the entire show to be fairly honest.

Have you tried going to www.ezgif.com? It's an easy way to adjust the size, remove unnecessary frames, etc.

I've tried that and well as much as I have tried it didn't really gave me the results that I wanted.

This was the best I could make, cutting down the frames in half and lowering colours used.


Or in 100x100 with more colours:

These looks nice.

Although would it helped if you can get it like this? I dunno I'm just giving some suggestions... although I can't really make it lower but this part is fine.



Although Idk, maybe make it to where her finger is at least a bit seen? That's kind of the idea but not sure.

(Btw this is 80 kb ;w;)

Edited again: I know I said you really can't make it go all the way because of that so well, this is just a suggestion to at least get a part of the gif.

@Symphyon I don't mean to ridicule this pic, but for me it is out of context. I just doesn't feel right, since she is pointing at something, when her hand is not showing, and when your "last touch" avatar is made, Kotarou, the one the loli is pointing at, is missing except his hair, in which I can see, I think it is cute to use her as a your avatar, but I guess, if you can somehow crop it that she is pointing the finger vaguely(not showing Kotarou but still showing her hands) would be good.

Mhhh...

But, overall, I really love your Usami avatar though... :)

Well I tried to go and fix that although will try to do that, also I just realized I can use effects to lower stuff down and such and then recolor it so might as well try this out. But I get you :3

Although while I like Usami I personally would like to have Shizuru as part of the avatar since the episode that showed her doing this, again not only its a highlight but its pretty also adorable to look at (too bad the show didn't had it like this tbh ;w;)
