grr!!! i finally came back to this site after i got MUA working!!! but the reason i couldnt get it working sooner was that i wasn't going to have a computer to play on during summer. and now im going to have the same problem!!! but i want to do something use full for this site, no matter how small it is. So i have decided that I want to make character icons for every character on the official character thread that doesn't have one and improve some that need improving.
WORKS COMPLETED
BLACK BOLT :(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/blackshake.gif)
Black Bolt has been uploaded to the sight!YAY!
CRYSTAL:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/crystalclear.gif)
Done! Still waiting for THX's answer/approval. The background is not transparent.
WAIT!!! i think i found a way to quickly make it transparent!*quickly open program* but
it wont be ready for a day or so b/c im at the wrong computer.
Venom:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/venom3.gif)
Done! Waiting untill previous icons are aproved before requesting this one.
WORKS IN PROGRESS
Wolfsbane:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/wolfsbane1.gif)
Almost done. The animaion needs to be quicker and i am going to change wolfsbane's fur
color closer to brown than orange
Northstar:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/northstar1.gif)
Abondoned because he version that teancum found is soooo much better.
Spiderman:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/spiderman1.gif)
Completed(as far as im concerned. I like it :P). Waiting to ask THX to add until he
aproves crystal...
Banshee:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/banshee.gif).
First version. Next version will look better over all and then the next version will be
animated. Please let me know what you think so i can make him look better. Also, I,m
not sure what the animation should be. It shouldn't be a screem b/c my black blot does
that. Please suggest any ideas :)

_________________________________________________________________________________________________
Thanks to every1 that responded at the beginning of this topic when i asked for help when i tried to figure out how to make animated icons! Especially iammingy :)! Also, I'd like to apologize for the rediculus amount of double posting i did in the beginning of this thread. I actually had one run that was 8-10 posts long! I have gone through the topic and tried to compile all of my double,triple,cuadruple,ect post into one with a bunch of edits. The double posting stopped when i acknowledged i was double posting about crystal. From there on all the edits are edits, not fixed double-posts. Again sorry :)
READ!
Because I changed the first post some people are concerned that some of the following posts will not make sense. To clear things up: At the beginning i asked if any1 knew how to make an animated
icon, as in an image with multiple frames played in a row to create the illusion of a moving picture. I also asked if any1 knew if i had to ask a moderator, an administrator, or THX(the site owner) to upload a charcter icon to the site. It turned out to be THX that i had to ask. I hope thatclears things up :)
Oh, the little icons for the site? You might take the time to search for icons for characters that don't have them. That would be really super-helpful!
thats what i was going to do. I just looked at the mod release list and i realized alot of them dont have icons. But like i said, i dont know how. if i need another program other than gimp can any1 tell me?and does any1 know how to actualy make them? because i dont know how. I know that u have to make the animation for the icon(depending whether or not i make it animated) but i dont know how to put it all together...
hey Spidey, you can take a look at this thread:
http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=209.0
A template is available in the 3rd post. When you save the icons after you are done, make sure you save them as 32-bit BMP.
ok cool, ill check it out. But i just came up with this on another program(its my first try)(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/firsttry.gif)
Cute. :)
By the way, the icons are not animated.
???isnt quicksilvers icon animated? and invisible womans?
He's talking about the animated gifs on the site Iammingy
ok, im still doing it the way i was b4 right now. Im trying to make it longer then ill go to the link(thanks for putting that up btw)
Oh my god.... I am sorry. :bowdown:
lol...does that mean i shouldnt go to that link???
No, those ones are for the game, not these icons: :sunfire: :pyro: :magma:
I mistakened that you were talking about the icons for the game since you posted in Game Talk...
oh...is there somwhere else i should have posted this topic???
I don't know, it doesn't really matter. :)
Anyway, this is an easy-to-follow tutorial for GIMP: http://howto.nicubunu.ro/gimp_rain_animation/
EDIT: lol... There is a simpler tutorial at GIMP's official site: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/
ohhh, ok, i get it. thx, i think i know how to do it now...ill let u guys know if it works...oh, and if it does work, how do i get it to be in the reply place? do i just give the file to a moderater?
EDIT:Yay!!! i did it!!but its only 2.3 seconds and ive been working on it for an hour...(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/secondtry.gif)
Good! You can try removing the black background, that will give you only the red smiley!
uuhhhhh......lol, how would i go about doing that?
If your red smiley is on a new layer, then you just delete the black background layer at the bottom.
If you drew the red smiley on top of the black background, then you can select the black areas with a magic wand thingy (not sure what it's called in GIMP) and delete them.
i didnt do it well, but i understand. Thanks alot for all the help =). oh, and here it is:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/secondtry.gif)
EDIT:wait, what???i did what u said, but the background all of a sudden the background turned black???
It should be something like this: (http://xs128.xs.to/xs128/08246/edit551.gif)
It's not animated. I only modified one frame VERY quickly. I did it in Ulead GIF Animator though...
yay!!i fixed it(i knew what it should have looked like)!!i guess i uploaded it b4 it saved, cause i uploaded it as soon as i clicked save as GIF. but here it is(once again its very crappy, but i get the point):(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/secondtry.gif)
EDIT:im not going to start working on icons for the characters untill at least the 22nd. untill then im going to be posting some smileys. any suggestions? right now im working on a smiley rolling his eyes.
EDIT:rolling eyes smiley:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/rollingeyes.gif) i know that the background isnt exactly clear, but im probly going to leave it like that untill i start making hero smileyes.
oh, and what do ya think?
EDIT:latest and greatest!!!:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/creation.gif)
:rofl: good
thx =) heres another one (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/metalman.gif) . Its supposed to be kinda like colosus, but the bulluts at the end ended up looking like sperm, not bullets, lol

Good job, you did it! :)
yep! but im not very good at creating faces. Fortunetly for me i can save the faces on the forum right now and i can get every frame. editting is alot easier then makin the faces, so ill start making character icons soon =).
EDIT:yay!!!i finished my first character icon!!!but its not animated and kinda crapy. I present, the sentry:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/sentry.jpg)
EDIT:i used havoks face and totally screwed it up, lol. Then i kinda fixed it(u can see how the outline of the face is weird).
EDIT:and now its animated!!!still not that great though:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/sentryanimated.gif)
EDIT:here is super skrull, still not animated though(im so glad i got an extra day with the computer, i didnt think i was ganna be able to use it today):(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/superskrulldone1.jpg). There is a blue line below his chin, but its not a big deal. I know how to fix it, but im probly not going to take the time to untill later =) oh, and i used cable as the "face-model"
EDIT:i re-did sentry's hair and gave him an animation:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/sentryanimated-1.gif)what do u guys thiknk?
great! but for super-skrull i have a sugestiob: as anims he turns into a thing-skrull then burst into fglmes turns invisible something streahes out-and he turns to normal. othervise......id think he was skrull shmull....
hahah, thats funny. Im not even close to knowing how to do flames...but i could steal them from the other icons with flame and put it on. what i was going to do was have SS standing there. he will punch either thin air or a stick figure with the thing arm, them he will shoot flames out the other arm, fly on an invisible woman sheild and then do the wave w/ his arms, or bounce like mrF does...
I think you can make his hair bigger and longer. Hmm, you can actually steal Emma's :emmafrost: hehehe
well, its supposed to be him with short hair. I already have one of him w/ long hair but its not animated...let me find it and uplaod...here:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/sentry1.jpg)...i just couldnt get it right.
can u do a baldr and crystel.....

Do u think the problem is that it needs to be bigger?
Oh, never mind about my previous reply if that's the case. :)
Just give him a bigger mouth. :P (I meant this one : (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/sentryanimated-1.gif))
ok, i will...lol, he doesnt have a mouth
EDIT:can i get a picture of sentry with his mask-like-thing? i searched for a while and couldnt find one....oh, and i still need to know how to put the sentry thing with the rest of the icons..
EDIT: and i know what im going to do to fix up sentry. I dont know if ill be able to fit a mout. Im ganna draw a little blue below the nose and make a yellow S.
EDIT:here is the begginging of on of the next sentry icon:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/maskedsentry1.jpg)
EDIT:i couldnt find the costume in a pic anywhere but i remember it from a comic. Its of sentry in the past. If any1 read the mighty avengers where the sentry and ironman go back in time with doctor doom theyll know. But i read it awhile ago and couldnt find a picture so im pretty sure i did it wrong anyway...here it is though(yeloow thing is supposed to be a cape):(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/maskedsentry1-1.jpg)
hmm....u can barely see the eyes in this pic...
EDIT:i am going to attempt blackbolt...
EDIT:black bolt only took like 10 mins, it was realy easy. i took avalanch, and "reskinned"(lol) him. Then i drew blue circles and made shake:)
toadah:(i removed this picture because i have improved it. if u continue reading it will appear somwhere else)
its better then sentry and took a fraction of the time
EDIT: ahh!!!i keep 4getting to take out the white...
EDIT:got most of the white out...and here is blackbolt w/o animations:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/black-1.gif)
EDIT:can some1 plz take all my icons/smileys that have white in the background and fix it???i keep trying over and over and its only partialy done....i just cant figure it out...
I have removed most of the white background:
(http://i31.tinypic.com/28vahab.jpg)
I think the order of your last 2 frame was wrong. So, I swapped them. :P
Use this option (boxed in red) next time:
(http://i27.tinypic.com/2qn30jr.jpg)
ok thx here it is(again): (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/blackshake.gif)
EDIT:also, iammingy, thx for helping me with all this stuff and telling me how to do it, it was realy helpfull (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/creation.gif)
love tht blackbolt!
can u do crystal? theres a nice mod out.....been out for a while in fact.....
ok, ill try her. I kinda had a list but 4got it, lol. If i look at the mod release thread ill remember them. But the list i do remember was: shocker, xman, antman(maybe), and now crystal. ill have to read about her dont remember much....oh, and im also thinking about redoing some of them. Like spiderman, his is terrible...
wait...thers an ant-man mod? were?
ok, ive done sentry a different way. He now turns from sentry to void and back again. here he is:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/sentrytovoid.gif)
and i also made just void:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/void.jpg)
i didnt even try to get rid of the white on just void, but i did try on sentry/void...almost but not quite..
EDIT:oops, meant giant man :)
well i just spent some time making a video game with my sentry sprites. U cant attack and all u can do is dodge right now butu can play it here:http://www.yoyogames.com/games/show/40278. its just a beta though

maybe u should make a hello board for urself in http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?board=4.0
haha, its ok. we're talking about little faces that move around :)...
its been a while but heres something a wipped up kinda quick using invisible womanas a model: (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/crystal1.gif) its an un-animated crystal, so its kinda hard to tell who it is...it should be animated by tonight or tomorrow(hopefully)
EDIT:oh, and the black squares are her hands
EDIT:(this was not a double post)hahahaha!!!i cant believe i said by tomorrow night! that one took 4EVER!

ok!this deserves a double post!!!:P
its done! i have gone through 90 frames and it looks realy good compared to b4!:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/crystalclear.gif)
the water and fire were a pain in the a**! but anyways,yay!i dont know if the back ground is transparent, but ill guess ill find out in a few minutes :P and if it is ill talk to THX and see if he likes it....and if it isnt...ill see if i can go through the frames again and clean that up...or maybe just ask anyways! :D
edit::( no transparent bg...first ill see if he will use anyway and if not ill fix it...anyways, im glad its(maybe/almost)done!
So that's Crystal?
yeah, her power is to control the elements, as defined by the greeks or something. basically, fire water air earth.
im ganna redo spideys next unless some1 has a request,like crystal was. if u do bhavee a request post it cuz i only have 7 more trial days of the program im using...:(
maybe ill buy it or i might just get another trial with a different email...

If you do talk to him about adding it, could you ask about this Longshot one (http://xs227.xs.to/xs227/08205/longshot117.gif) at the same time? Iammingy linked to it in a thread a while ago. If not, it's ok. Thanks.
ok,i will. lol, now i dont have to :P
how about superskrull? or an animated :venom:, :thing:and :thor: ? quasar would be nice....... and we REALLY need a new apoc he looks like a mutant baer! :apocalypse: o a improved :panther: would be good........ and a northstar would be apreciated.
not damndibng that u do all of them just choose what u think is easiest and doo it
haha the more the better! i was thinking about animating the tongue in the venom one and i was also already thinking about redoing the thor one. i asked the user "venom" if i could use his superskrull as a base and animate it but that was a couple weeks ago...i think maybe tomorow ill start on north star
ok, here is my first version of northstar:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/northstar1.gif). I most worried about his hair and the white part that is his suit on the bottom...
here is my spiderman:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/spiderman1.gif)
venom and carnage next ;p

Very nice! You are getting better at this. :)
I see that your new icons don't have the white backgrounds anymore. :D
thanks :)! The problem was that i was saving each frame as a jpg then turning them into a gif. The jpg couldn't handle transparency and the end result wasnt transparent.
heres venom so far:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/venom.gif). i dont know why there is white by his tongue....

Did you delete it? I don't see it anymore...?
no i ddidnt delete it...i still see it
I can't see it either
oh i know! i fixed it!(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/venom2.gif)
Hahahaha. Sweet!
Now, remove the white background! :P
alright!the white back ground is gone!(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/venom3.gif). but do u guys think the animation is too fast?
ps:i'm still awaiting feedback on north star...can u tell its him? do it look like him at all? does it need to be animated to be recognizable? Should i take away the bottom part that is supposed to look like his out fit? ect...
venom looks good.
thanks! i think im going to wait untill i finish carnage and toxin to ask THX if he'll add them to the site. But what i realy need feedback on is northstar. I know almost nothing about this character, so im not sure if my icon suits him...
Maybe you could make one with his sister? Or speeding up with aura light or something. I would add (to the site) venom, blackbolt, crystal, and I like the happy face guy.
lol, which happy face guy?(i think there are 4 of them)
I think he means the last one in your sig.
northstars hair should be black, mabe u should show more of his chest.
like this?(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/northstar.gif)
I dont think you shouldve changed the first post its made everything else after it make no sense and turning the thread all about your work when I and other people have released things through out it.
at the bottom of the post i thanked every1 that helped me and answered my questions etc when i first started the topic, which insinuates that i asked for help and therefor explains why people gave answers/releases things. I will change it again so that it is more obvious that i have changed the first post :)
EDIT: I just looked through the topic and i didn't see anything that you released. I believe you are confusing this thread with another one, where you posted a bunch of your own icons. This is a thread i created specifically for icons i have made. I think this is the thread u are getting confused with: http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=229.30
Sorry the amazing spiderman but I thought it was this thread : http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=229.0 (http://marvelmods.com/forum/index.php?topic=229.0)
Lol and good work by the way :D
Sorry again :(
alright, im ganna do wolfsbane. im working on the wolf part and i need some help. I dont know if this is better: (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/wolfsbane.gif) or is this better: (http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/wolfsbane2.gif). I was afraid that the second one looked to much like a tiger...
Are you making her so that she morphs into wolf form and back?
yes. And here is my first version:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/wolfsbane5.gif). I am very pleased with it :).
It looks great! However why is it so ovalish?
the wolf-part or the girl-part? i think u mean the girl part. well, i was using a 32x32 canvas and i didn't want to leave a bunch of empty space, but i guess it would have looked better that way. i keep that in mind for my next icon....dust!
EDIT: I thought it would look better if i changed the wolf-part to be browner:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/wolfsbane1.gif). And i also animated carnage:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/carnage1.gif).
Are you gonna make wolfbang smaller? Looks great hope they add this one.
nah, its not that big...
Personally I'd say it's about twice the size that it needs to be. It needs to match up with other ones. Until then I probably won't add it as an 'official' smiley.
ok, give me a minute....alright!(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/wolfsbane7.gif). Is that small enough? it doesnt look good any smaller, so i hope it works...
i cant see anything
does your internet browser let you view gifs? i don't know why it wouldn't but thats what my images are saved as
well yeah my internet browser does cause i can see mine and other ones but i dont no y i cant see urs
oh, i dont know what i was thinking. What i should have said was does your browser allow you to see images from photobucket.com?
Human Wolfsbane's head is too rectangular.
i not so sure bout that ill check if it does or doesnt :spiderman:
wait are u talking bout the small icons that say that u made them?
all of them are hosted by photobucket.
well i see ur sig very nice :spiderman:
thx. But to get back on-topic...teancum, i can't seem to reach thx. Could u plz add venom and carnage and any other ones u like to the website, if u approve. Oh, also if u think wolfsbane is a better size now i would apreciate it if u could add that one too. thx
EDIT: i know i said dust, but i havent had time to go on wikipedia and see what her powers are/appearence is. But i was looking through the unread topics and i saw banshee so i wipped this up real quick:(http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn77/ongasar/banshee.gif). I just used sinister as a base then resized. Its 17x20, but its not done. I still need to touch up the appearence and give it an animation. Any suggestions on either?
