I had to request to see the graphic that we are supposed to use just fyi! Not sure if that's what you wanted or if you just have the settings set that way accidentally.

Inner Senshi Admin Media Director

Oh! you can't download it? gosh, let me upload it again x.x

EDIT

here is the link!

That's not an animated .gif. Am I doing something wrong?

That's a PSD file o.O

Inner Senshi Admin Member Relations Director

So, when I downloaded it, I got a PSD file that's just a white circle on a black background? Is that the right thing?

I'm confused too xD

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

You open the .psd file in photoshop, and open the animation window and you will see all the frames.

Lotus Crystal

But I don't have photoshop xD

Inner Senshi Admin Media Director

Ok~

fixed, again =_=

Sorry for this, i was trying to make things easier for you and i tend to forget that some people use other type of software to make graphics, sorry :/ but i fixed the main post so the other ones download the .gif file ^^

Senior Member Small Lady Emeritus

Can't wait to see the entries! Very Happy

Inner Senshi Admin Member Relations Director

I got really confused on the directions so I'm just gonna use my ticket XD

Lotus Crystal

I'm gonna have to past for this round as well.

Lotus Crystal

i'm also using my ticket. it slipped my mind and it was really confusing. maybe you should give us another day or two, mainly due to the mix up with the psd file and all

I just got 1 entry...*breaths* ....*keeps breathing*

..................

you guys can deliver your entry till saturday at noon (AST).
remember, the file you are gonna use is now a .gif file, so it won't be a problem to use it on any software, also changed the main thread with the correct file.

I just wanted to point out gifs can be too advanced for some participants. I am able to do graphics using gifs, and I'm having difficulties figuring out how to use the provided image o.o But some people don't know how to work with gifs at all, so maybe try and tone it down for the next round or even start over? I'm not sure though cause someone submitted a graphic already and would suck to not have their graphic mean anything =o But yeah! I think not using gifs in the future rounds would be good! And if you plan to, state it in the sign ups thread so people know! ^^

Inner Senshi Admin Member Relations Director

^Yeah, this was my main reason for not doing this round. Gifs are hard to begin with, but resizing this one to even use on a 100 x 100 icon made it basically unreadable (it just became a circle). It was taking too much fiddling trying to figure out how to use it so that's why I passed.

Lotus Crystal

Call me stupid but on my laptop it's not animated at all o.o

Inner Senshi Admin Member Relations Director

Princess Moon you have to open it in photoshop (I have no idea what to do if you have another program, lol) then go to window > workspace > and then I think it's Animation or something similar. Then at the bottom there should be a play button you can push to see it move.

EDIT: Oh, I see above that you don't use photoshop. WELP, idk then, sorry!

And Diana, I agree that we should start over since a lot of people were confused. Maybe the person who already submitted can get a free pass on this round as compensation?

Lotus Crystal

Even if I wanted to play it on GIMP - it's only one layer here. My computer thinks it's a .jpg file - when I want to save it as .gif it says it's saved under a wrong name and can't be opened unless it gets converted to .jpg

This is so confuuuusing. I have no idea of computers >.>

hee, sweetie: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/Simple_Animations/

Lotus Crystal

Thank you, Mi! Smile

But I don't know how it's supposed to be animated when it's only one picture o.o I don't know how it works on PS but in GIMP I need more frames to play an animation. And as you can see I only have this one layer >.>

I get your point, will keep it on mind for the rest of the contest.

And, LIMS gather every type of digital art possible, i cannot describe on every contest what i'm gonna do ._. (there is no fun in that) but i will tone it down if i ever do a lims as an artist contest (i get the feeling you guys are not having fun with this), i will limit it to guilds unless in the future there is a tutorial on how to work with animations on gimp (because there is a tutorial on how to do animations on ps).

-------------------------------

Ok, so, i actually forgot not everyone can do animations .__. so sorry about that, so i'll give you another option because i already planned this contest and re-doing it will change the whole game for me, so, you can send me the entry as a JPG file, this means, work with the circle in ANY way you can, do whatever you can do, use the skill you currently have but deliver your entry by tomorrow at midnight.

IF you still wanna use your pass ticket, let me know =).

Diana Emeritus

Can we resubmit ours if we used the gif and think we could do a better without it? Or is there some kind of bonus for the people that used a gif? =o

to make it fair, yes love =)
no bonus unfortunately, i would love to, but again, it would not be fair.

Diana Emeritus

I might redo mine then xD But in a way I'm proud of it because I've never used a gif on such a small canvas xD I couldn't figure out how to make the background of all the layers the same >.> So I might just leave it xD Thanks for the response =D

Basically you don't HAVE to make your final product an animated gif. Just use the provided graphic.
