Sideblog for blinkies/stamps/graphics i like bc I love collecting them but I never have anything to do with them :(
+ some I make sometimes (those are f2u w/ or w/out credit idc- and req open but no promises + im new to this guys)
Sorting tags under cut :)
Shapes and colors -> graphics that are especially shaped and/or colored
Yapping -> not graphics
Clowns mentioned -> i like clowns this is the tag for when clowns
Req -> requests that I get and then make and then post for the joy of the person who did the requesting and maybe others (given its not incredibly niche )
me -> I made that :D (requests but also just the ones I do for fun)
Separated by who made the frames I used :p All hyperlinks are to the post, not their account. Will be updated/edited to add any new ones I ever make; I will not make a new post.
Using frame by: cheriisoda
Using frames by: pearlieprincess (TV, DS)

Tutorial (Using Krita - VERY specific to program)
1. Click the downloaded frame (image/png file) and then open with Krita
2. Click import video animation
3. Click the file folder button on the top right, then select the file (gif , image, or video. I refer to it as a gif throughout the tutorial though, and this tutorial is specific to gifs/videos.)
4. KEEP IN MIND OR COPY what it says the fps is. If the gif is short (under 100 frames, it'll say) then write that down too.
5. Click this button and change the workspace to animation
6. (Optional) Click the four horizontal lines button and change the fps to what it said earlier, and the clip end to the amount of frames it has. If you do not do this, make sure when you export you change the fps and clip end.
7. Next 2 steps can be done in any order:
Add a transform mask to the gif
The transform mask allows you to resize the gif. Click on the transform mask (selected by default after adding) then the resize tool (one highlighted blue on top in image) to resize. Shift click to do uniform resize/locked aspect ratio/it won't stretch the image.
Drag the frame above the gif. Press ctrl + g OR the arrow next to plus then add group layer (while selected on the gif, or drag the gif into the folder). Make a new layer inside this group then drag it beneath the gif. (If you've already made the transform mask you will drag it in between the mask and the gifs layer - it'll put it beneath both) and click the stylized lowercase A to the right of the gif (make it a clipping layer). On the new layer you made, fill in the empty space you want the gif to be.
If you use the fill bucket tool, these are the tool options you'll want for it to work on a different layer. (Fill source can be anything)
Note 1: You should be done, click on this button to play back the gif. If you didn't change the fps or clip end, this preview won't look right. (My Krita has an issue where it won't let me preview and it'll stop playing halfway, if that happens to you click the first frame and just use the left and right arrow keys.)
Note 2: If you wanna remove any frame, you can click on the gif layer then the frame and click delete. (The orange one is the selected one - you can shift-click multiple at a time)
Note 3: To change the frame color (if tos allows it), click the frame layer and ctrl + shift + g OR add a group then a layer and on the new layer press the fancy lowercase A to the right of it. I just make the brush the largest size and color the entire thing, or for the split ones I make one half one color and the other another then in filter press blur and gaussian blur. Click the color/clipping layer and then the button at the top that says "normal" and make it either multiply or color or another layer style. If unfamiliar with the program: You can click ctrl for the eye dropper tool.
8. Time to export! Click render animation
Make sure the FPS is the same as the imported gif/video AND change the "Render as" to a gif (or whatever you want, but that's usually a gif)
To change the file name, either click the file folder and change it there like you would when saving anything else, or you can edit the redirect. Just keep the ./ and .gif (I tested and removing them results in error) Again, if you didn't change fps or clip end do that now.
That's it.
Also if it crashes before finishing exporting it'll leave you with png frames up until it crashed :p Not super useful unless you're very desperate to restore it.
even more self indulgent graphics. as always, credit is appreciated, not required.
requests are open! feel free to leave a request in my inbox for stamps and blinkies.
based off of @the-judge-coins tech-lover and tech-fucker flags.
Last night I started making these little legend-of-tenna-style sprites in MS paint. And then I just kind of kept making them forever. I have too many now.
