Anyway after a 19 year hiatus i’m back making blinkies again (basic animation in procreate is so much easier than it was in 2003).

how did u make blinkies in procreate????? dope as hell btw and did u hhave a site in the 2000's where u posted blinkies? so cool [:

I do make blinkies in procreate!

Previously I'd used Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 + MS Paint + Animation Shop 3, then Photoshop 6/CS2, and finally wandered off to not make blinkies for 19 years. I am in fact old enough to have used my insultingly low $600 trump stimulus payment to frivolously buy an iPad.

I'm also working on a video tutorial as I refine my procreate process, since making pixel art of any kind in procreate is a bastard. And I'm rebuilding my 2003 blinkie website at neocities! With new content! Image descriptions! And hopefully a way to stop the animations wholesale so the site is more accessible!

(I'm also working on remaking my cartoon dollz website in the same fashion because it is also hella inaccessible in its current archive.org preserved web 1.0 state).

(Personal lightbulb moment below the readmore/feel free to ignore.)

Anyway, note to self, to display 150x20 pixel blinkies at the correct and desirable resolution on tumblr, I think we need to set them on a 540px wide transparent background and then offer download links at a different location such as a tumblr page or below a readmore. Display up to 3 across/for best results blinkies need the same number of frames.
