aww ty Sarah ; v;
I've actually never tried using an animation in a banner before or a few things I did there
so it was a good experiment hehe
/gonna forever keeps yours too of course~

I wish I could do stuff like you and Sarah. I'm no good with shading and I'm a bit of a lost cause when it comes to art but that doesn't mean I can't still wish.

really thats up to us :) Its just an idea for a team event to help us get to know each other.

So how do we decide mini-teams?

It came out so great! You totally need to enter the graphic art contest! *-* How did you do the animation with the Sylveon? :O

Random generator?

That could work. maybe three person teams.

aww, I'm sorry :(
I'm actually...pretty horrible with shading though. My image of Sou has very -minimal- shading because I have trouble understanding how lights should be hitting the subject from their light source. I honestly wish I was alot better with art myself. Its partially what I went to college for, but I'm not good enough for a job, so, struggling with finding anything atm. orz

I'm sure there's something you can do and are really good at though! Like I personally struggle drawing any kinds of animals and sprites confuse the heck out of me.

@Pokemon Trainer Sarah~aww ty hehe
But for the animation, I just grabbed a gif on the net and popped it into Photoshop. When a gif, in CS5 opens in photoshop and you open the animation panel, there should be a layer for each frame in the animation. I cropped down the image, grouped it then took it into my banner file where I shrunk down the group to shrink down all the images to my desired size. After that, I made a custom shape (the pokeball), selected the outside of it after positioning it over my Sylveon image, then literally deleted everything outside each frame individually. After that, you can just go back into the animation panel and set the frames/layers up :>
At least thats what I did. I hope that makes sense lol

Yeah the teams shouldn't be too big but not too small either. 3 person teams seems even.

I am sorry but look at it! It is a fabulous banner! xD

Do you know what we should do? We should play Pokemon pictionary in a xat chat like I used to do with my WFL peeps. Were you around for that Dredd? That was amazing.
