Animated Icons

Okay, so I am trying to teach myself to make animated icons.

Here is my first try. I don't love it, but it's acceptable.
I made this for

Shonna I think it's awesome!!! I have so much awe for people who can make icons. I'm so completely helpless where that's concerned.

*bounces*

Our girls are back!

Thanks hon! I really appreciate that.

I just downloaded a free trial version of JASC Animation Shop and I wanted to see if I could figure it out. This is my first try.

*hugs*

YAY! They are back!!!

Are the people/person in the icon significant? I lose because I don't know who they/she is!!! :S

Sorry!

It's okay! She's Grace Kelly. You know, Princess Grace.

She was a lovely lovely woman.

*revives you*

*HUGS*

You are so absolute welcome! Thank you!!! I wasn't sure if you would like it...I really wasn't! *sheepish* It didn't turn out exactly like I wanted, but this was my very very first try.

I have a few more like this in mind for you, too. Just keep an eye out on my page over the next few days.

It finally told me what the problem is...apparently the file size is too big. It has to be less than 40KB and the icon is 44.3KB. Who knew? *kicks LJ's dumb rules*

I fixed it!!!

Try it again. I was going to fix it this afternoon, but I couldn't stand waiting. Therefore, I am sitting here with wet hair in my towels uploading the pic again.

*hugs*

Sorry about the first one!

Crap, I can't try it until this afternoon when I get home from work, I would have to save it to load it and I don't think my company much wants my icons on their hard drive! But I will so try it first thing when I get home!

Thank you darling! And don't apologize for the first one, that's just silly. Who knew it was 4KB too big...whatever that means?!
