EXPLAINING HOW I MAKE BLINKIES :3

like these guys

websites / apps: blinkies.cafe , ibis paint x , ezgif.com !

STEP ONE !! go to blinkies.cafe and select a blinkie. i reccomend going to old and selecting one of the very simple ones !! DO NOT SELECT THE GRADIENT ONE YOU WILL SUFFER

STEP TWO !! click on it btw. anyways, since spaces won't work, put "‎ " !! it will register !! this is also how to make videos on yt title-less i think... anyways, choose the biggest size

then click generate and download the blinkie!!

STEP THREE !! import into ibis paint !!

now i reccomend putting a reference of whatever character in your ref window. won't explain that, look it up.

STEP FOUR !! choose colors and recolor with bucket tool on 0

wow, look at that !!

STEP FIVE !! import a transparent image of your character and put the text of your choice.

heres the font i use !!

advice for choosing colors of the text: make the body the color of the blinkies border and the outside the brightest light !!

STEP FIVE AND A HALF !! this is optional, but i make a very small border around the text. duplicate layer and bring it on top, make all other layers invisible, alpha lock, make it the color of the border, turn off alpha lock, use bucket tool on expand 0.5 or 1 and tap a few times on the blob, turn other layers back on, put the duplicate under the original thing and merge so it's a small border. it's very subtle but i like it.

see the difference?

STEP SIX !! download it, then flip ONLY THE BLINKIE LAYER horizontal and vertical then save again

if you want another set of words, add them now!!

STEP SEVEN !! go to ezgif.com and imput them

the click upload files. then click make a gif :3

the end (≡・x・≡)

Can you do a tutorial on your stamps where the image kind of carries on onto the border of the stamp please? I don't think your stamp tutorial covered how to make them :,) thanks!

userbox tut | gif stamp tut

this tutorial is a direct add-on to my first stamp tutorial, please follow that one before attempting this one!

I will be using Procreate for this, which is NOT a free app, but it works almost the same as Ibis Paint X, which IS a free app.

First off, open your stamp canvas again!!

if you select the frame layer, you can choose which blending mode to set it to. Right now, it’s at normal.

Now go ahead and change the blending mode! I usually use Overlay or Soft Light, but play around and figure out what you like.

For this to look it’s best, the image has to be touching all corners of the stamp (as you can see, this picture is NOT, so that’s why there is red peaking out at the edges)

so I just went ahead and resized the image, so it reached the borders. Now you can see how it “carries” to the stamp frame.

again, PLAY AROUND!!!! I usually like turning up the lined layer for these, idk I just like the look of it more.

BOOM STAMP!!

I’ve also found doing this blending mode for pride flag stamps looks really good?? Idk that may just be my opinion lol.

unfortunately I don’t quite know how yet to use this transparent frame for a gif stamp, so if anybody knows please lmk!!

and feel free to ask any questions :)

Blinkie Tutorial (for procreate)

[pt: Blinkie Tutorial (for procreate)]

alr so I’ve finally figured out how to make blinkies work on Procreate and I’ve decided to share this knowledge with y’all

This tutorial is for Procreate only. This might work for other things but idk I only use procreate

^ everything you need is in there

Import the blinkie psd to Procreate.

2. Open Procreate. Open the blinkie.

3. Turn on animation assist. This can be done by pressing the wrench, then pressing “canvas” and flipping the switch labeled animation assist.

4. I have no idea how the text will react if you don’t have the font downloaded. You can either download the font linked or use the pixel brush linked to write your own letters. If you need tutorials on either of those things, here’s a font tutorial and here’s a brush tutorial. You might need to move the text up so it shows up on screen.

5. Time to change the colors! You can use color fill, I trust you to be able to change the border and background. For the dashes it’s a bit harder, however. First, make a new layer on top of dashes 1 in frame 1, then use the color fill to fill the entire layer with the color you want. Then, press on the layer and press “Clipping Mask”.

Nice n easy, right?

6. Then do the same on frame 2, except clip the color you used to dashes 2. This is how you get the blinking effect!

7. For your second color, just do the same, except clip it to dashes 2 in frame one and dashes 1 in frame 2.

8. When exporting, export as “animated gif”. If you don’t like how fast it’s going, turn down the frame rate. Also turn off dithering (unless you prefer it idk)

And there you go! That’s how you make a blinkie in Procreate.

You can customize this to your liking. For example, you can hide the border layer to make a solid color, hide the background layer and activate background2 layer to make the border transparent, and more!

If you have any questions feel free to ask, I don’t bite. I did this at like 3 am so this may be incoherent

hey... it me again... how does... how does one make blinkies o.o IVE BEEN WONDERING FOR SO LONG UEUEUE

helloo !! ya i can totally tell u how i make blinkies !!!

^^^ these are the bases i use for my blinkies, i overlay them in ibis paint x (keep them on separate layers). you can color them wtv color u want, what i do is add the color, save the pic, and then swap them to get the flashing effect. you can add whatever text, images, etc you'd like i use ezgif.com to make it into a gif, all u have to do is add the images and export it, and for the delay time (what makes it flash fast or slow) i use 30 but u can do wtv you want i hope this helped !!! im not the best at explaining >_>;;

Hi!!! Not a request but I wanted to know how u make ur blinkies? Really curious and i wanna make my own lol! Thanks!!! :D

Haiii I'll try to explain as best as I can!!

So first of all I use photopea to actually make the blinkie

I suggest having a blinkie downloaded so you can use it for the dimensions!! (I don't remember the dimensions so this is easier for me to do)

Once you open the blinkie file (using the open from computer in the websites home page) you can delete the layers and end up with a blank layer like this!!!

Next, I like to create my blinkie border!! Make sure your brush is at 1 px before you start doing it LOL ignore my big ass brush...but yeah I suggest starting with 2 colors if this is your first blinkie so pick your colors and make the border :3

Next you'll get your photo that you're going to use and open it into your file! (You can either copy and paste the photo into the program or download it and go to File -> open and place)

Fix your picture to fit into the blinkie template next!

If you want to squish it / warp it more you can click on this chain button for that :3

Also make sure your photo is below your blinkie border!

The first result should look something like this YAAY!

Next, I just move the colors on the border one over, so that you can get that blink effect all blinkies have!!

The difference is there swear!

Next I go to ezgif and upload my two blinkie pictures there to make the gif!

Awww hell yeeeeahh dog wearing a monster hat
