Zeref Posted September 21 Share Posted September 21 17 hours ago, Sakura said: I figured out how to add gifs to my backgrounds/banners/sigs! This is something I always wanted to learn how to do, but really just hadn't found the time or motivation to do it until a clan member requested an in-game battle background so I decided to figure it out. I think I did all right for my very first one ever! I also created him some in-game backgrounds for the game: Then I made him 15 avatars, 75x75 is the size for the forum there: I'm not done either, I'm going to make him Discord icons next lol Oh I also made my other friend 60 avatars, which can be found at the below 2 links: Reveal hidden contents https://imgur.com/a/pG7N5wG https://imgur.com/a/YZa0Yzz Then oh! I also started to make Player cards for our clan members. So far I just have our leaders and mine done. Player cards are just a character you pic and they will display the rank in the clan. I might have to edit this now that I know how to do gifs though, I think it would be awesome to put a gif in the back instead of the still image~! All of this so amazing. The clan is lucky to have you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sakura Posted September 22 Author Share Posted September 22 A quick update with some things I made for my clan leader and I. I did one as a .Gif but feels like the quality goes down too much when you turn the images into a .gif so I'm pretty much sticking with the still image one on this one. There's no difference other than the white background/transparent background, and the one has the .gif image. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you about the image quality going down with the .Gif but it's still and interesting idea. I think that of the other two the black background looks better because it makes the artwork stand out more, I feel that the white background draws the eye away from the artwork. Just my few pence/cents (delete as appropriate depending on your currency) worth. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more colors you have in the image the less the quality will turn out to be. In a lot of colors like this it will deplete some of it but you can mess around with perceptual and selective coloring and dither and no dither to see which is highest quality. In a lot of colors though this is about as best it will get when placing a gif on an image. PS isn't really used for it as you know. I think a better one for using would be Adobe AfterEffects for adding good quality gifs to it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my few pence/cents (delete as appropriate depending on your currency) worth. Yeah we ended up using the transparent background one because it seemed to stand out more. I'm not sure how to improve the quality of the .Gif but then again this is only the 2nd time I've ever added a .Gif to anything lol 2 hours ago, Zeref said: I think it's because you can only save gifs in PS with 256 colors.

Oh well never mind that answered my Q for how to improve the quality But tbh I'm prolly not gonna do all those extra steps since it looks fairly okay when I do it in the picture frames on the in-game backgrounds which is basically all I need it for. But by this logical I could possibly do more B/W themed ones and it would retain the color Which come to think of it, is probably why most people do that lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted September 26 Author Share Posted September 26 I figured out how to make the .GIF parts much more HQ thanks to Pessi lol So I tested it today and it keeps whatever quality the .Gif had to begin with, so I'm happy for that. I ended up making these but I haven't given them to the person yet and I don't know if I will Spoiler 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think on Ballance I prefer the third one but only because it's the nature of .Gifs to repeat in an endless loop and the scarf blowing in the wind looks less obviously like a animated .Gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sakura Posted September 28 Author Share Posted September 28 Tonight I worked on some in-game backgrounds, these are for the actual game background screen, and making those into .Gif. This is the first ones I've ever done with .Gif and I like this template I've created and will probably use it over the weekend to make more. These ones are for my friend, but I plan to make some for my clan next. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ty ty Pessiiii Newest I made for my best friend & me. It wasn't trying to be some crazy good GFX art it was just meant to be a little wallpaper with each of our favorite things on it and resemble the 2 of us. My side is the Blonde with purple because purple is my favorite colors, my favorite music artist (Beomgyu), 2 of my favorite characters (Mitsuki & Zen), my favorite flower (I managed to find Hydrangea's that were dyed orange so they wouldn't stick out so much). On her side I found a girl with the short brown hair and glasses in the same styles as her. is Jungkook (her fave music artist). Venti & Gajeel which are 2 of her favorite characters from a game and an anime, also sunflowers because those are her favorite flowers. I wanted the characters to be holding icees because we always went to get icees together instead of coffee but the coffee more fits with the Autumn theme. The little bitty circle of the 2 girls in between the middle there with the purple background is actually something she made me as an icon that was meant to be the 2 of us so I incorporated the little thing she made me into it :3 So I guess to me this more than just something I did while bored, I tried to make it super special with our favorite things, colors, and trying to make it resemble us as best as I could find.
