Yes, that is a button, not a decorative image. After the images have finished uploading, a big red button appears under the preview slideshow, with the words Create a GIF animation on it and an image of the FireAlpaca mascot emerging from a strip of film. Do not upload the frames one at a time.Ģ. First upload a sequence of images in one set (either select multiple images and drag them all onto the upload area, or use the Select button and select multiple files). Remember to uncheck the little box that says “Insert Firealpaca Logo.” Press the button that says “Create a GIF Animation,” and wait a second.Assuming you are using AlpacaDouga - either as part of the Export Layers option, or by going directly to the website.ġ. Select your files, and select your fps! I usually make mine 10fps, but for this blinkie, I decided to make it 8fps, jut so it’s little easier to read :3 Now for the final touch: Making it a proper blinkie by making it a GIF! I use Firealpaca Douga to do just that! :DD When your done, go to “File” and select “Save As.” Remember to give this file a DIFFERENT name, and to save it as a png! Now, using this same image, modify it for the second frame (changing the dots positions, changing the text, and whatever else you want to do!) There’s your first frame out of however many you want! Save it as a png file by going to “File” and selecting “Save As.” Now, you can add text and maybe even little drawing! I like to use Lucida Sans Unicode for the text :3 You can turn it off by making sure the little box at the top isn’t checked. The dots can take a little bit though :/ MAKE SURE ANTIALIASING IS OFF!!! Otherwise, when you fill it, it’ll look like this: Ta dah! :D It should look like this :3 Now begins the fun part, making your blinkie! I like to first color the border, base, and dashes.

Now! How to make the blinkie itself! Again, I use Firealpaca, but you can also use Microsoft Paint for this.

This base was originally made by I was looking around for a good tutorial, and I came across hers :3 This was originally a photoshop file, so I converted it into a JPEG, then into a PNG (which I should have done from the get-go, whoops. Hello!! :D I was asked how I make blinkies, so I decided to make this tutorial! I use Firealpaca (You could also use Microsoft Paint!), Firealpaca Douga, and this base:
