[sekidousai]

Greetings to all Animesuki forumers !!!!!


I. Introduction

I'm now starting a thread for my sig, avatar etc. artworks here. As you can see, i'm a complete amateur when it comes to image manipulation so you cannot expect much from me.
But still i will try my best to make it beautiful and bring out emotions especially my ideals from my creations . From time to time i will update this page.
If somehow you've to like some my works feel free to contact me, im willing to share my works with everyone and i'm open for comments and criticisms.

(***)

In the event that some of my artwork has offended anyone again feel free to contact me again, *** However this i warn you ppl.
some works i'm planning might be and will be a little bit extreme. As long as i don't break
the rules of the forum and i feel that my art is still within it's bounds, i will seriously defend it's existence (hopefully it would't come to this).

V. Sekidousai's Quick'n dirty™ guides
This is my guides section. I have compiled all of my Quick'n dirty™ guides here so that it will be easy to find.

History: I really wasn't planning on making any guides. It all started with mangalowres' Moe-Meter™ , He said he has trouble adding some transparency to it so then i decided to help him out and added transparency myself. After i posted his modified moe-meter i then i asked if he could make me an Ero-Meter™. And so he did but the problem again is that the sides aren't transparent, and so i made a Quick'n dirty™ guide to show him how to solve his problem ;p and also i have nothing better to do other than posting nonsense in AS forums.


Quick'n dirty™ Guide to Opening multiple Raw Images and Cropping
Software Used is Ulead GIF animator 5 free

Spoiler for Opening multiple Raw Images and Cropping combo guide:

Opening multiple Raw Images and Cropping combo guide






Step.1) Startup Ulead GIF animator, You can either use the Startup Wizard or the Main Menu bar




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



Step 2a.) Select your first raw image, This will determine the overall size of the Project.
(*Note: I used .TGA files but still you can use .jpg, .gif, .bmp etc. as long as ulead can read it.)




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



Step 2b.) The sad thing i found about Ulead is that it can only open an 1 image at a time, we can still add the rest later




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



Step 3.) We will now add the rest of the raw images. Click on add Images and a new window should pop-up




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



Step 4a.) Hold the "Ctrl or Shift" key and then select the rest of your raw images. Then click on Open.



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


Step 4b.) Now that all of the images are loaded everything should be ready... not!!!
As you can can see Ulead GIF animator did not create frames for the objects that we have loaded and also the Project has
a Rectangular Aspect Ratio (widescreen/16:9) so the next thing we need to do is cropping.




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


Step 5.) Cropping. Click on the Selection tool on the left side. Make sure Equal height and width is checked so
that we can make a perfect square. Now make a square on an area that you would like to keep.




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



Step 6.) Now go to Edit> and then click on Crop Canvas and there!!!! a perfect sqare for an AS avatar
(Note: If you don't want to make a perfect square, You can uncheck Equal height and width, or you can use Selection Tool - Eliptical to make a circle .)


Part 2 shall be added soon^^;

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


Step 4.) Insert a new blank Object. we will make our border on the new blank object.



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


Step 5.) Draw a boarder . I suggest you zoom the image first before drawing a border



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


Step 6.) Click on the second or next frame. The boarder will be gone (don't panic its normal.)



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


Step 7.) now press the eye on the object section and there you go! Boarders!!!
~~~~~~repeat 6 and 7 until the whole project is covered with borders

Quick'n dirty™ Guide to transparencies using the magic wand tool
Software used is Ulead GIF animator 5 free

Spoiler for Transparency:

Transparency Guide



Step 1.) Open an existing .GIF animation.



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


Step 2.) Now we must select the object and frame that we want to work on. I suggest we begin by selecting the first frame and object.
(Observe the eye carefully on the objects section, it shows you the current object you will be making tranparent.)



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


Step 3.) Select all of these, Make sure Similarity is set to 0 and connected pixels is checked or else your magic wand will scatter all over.



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


Step 4.) Use the Magic Wand to magically select a region that you want to make transparent.



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


Step 5.) Press Delete to remove the unwanted parts and there ! transparencies.



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


Step 6.) Select the next frame and object and repeat steps 4 & 5 if you still want to continue

******* You can also use the Eraser tool and Selection (rectangle/elipse) tool to make transparencies***********
