Sure. It's not hard, just time consuming and the programs are very expensive. I never considered Ruby. I guess I will! |

Okay. Here's Ruby. It is far from perfect and I didn't do the best job on her. I couldn't find a full body shot no matter how hard I tried. She was always too far away. Oh well. Here she is: http://files.filefront.com//;7915528;;/ Note: even if it looks really bad full sized, it looks a lot better when you set it as an icon. |

Okay. I put all of my icons into an archive that you can dowload now. It contains 9 icons. I don't know if I have them all posted here or not. Oh well. The archive is only 432k. That's less than 1mb. Here they are: Austin's Icons |

Those are quite nice, and I never realized how hard it was to make such things. |

It's mostly hard on my computer. It's just time consuming for me. BTW, if I'm encoding an icon, it takes 3 minutes just to load GOF. The computer basically freezes until it's done. I hope I will be able to make more of them. I'll just have to find some other screenshots.

the falling Littlefoot one (forgot to quote) If I recall, you can also make an icon by saving a BMP file, then changing the extension to .ico, because I think I made a couple images like that, works with .cur and .ani too (cursor files/animated cursor files) |

I am using bgcolor remover, pic2ico, paint, and photoshop to create these images. I also use a form of compression so I can have these icons in 24 bit. That's why they look a lot better than the other set that's floating around the internet. :lol: I also have to have the lbt videos and vlc media player to make the snapshots. I also use right click image converter to turn the png's into jpegs. |

I made a new one. My computer's really slowing down from making these things. I'm trying something new. I'm doing a direct dowload link so tell me if it doesn't work. http://dodownload.filefront.com/7930624//2...b0a3a4dcce2595d |

I didn't like the one of Cera I had so I created a new one. This one is her whole body, not just her head. http://files.filefront.com/Cera+2ico/;7934...;/fileinfo.html What do you think of me making icons from other, less popular charaters? Like the sharpteeth and other "bad guys"? |

Well, I've been neglecting this project. Good news though. I found a better way to make icons. They look much better now! I've made a new one! ![]() Download link: http://www.bestsharing.com/files/vHgCN3271...Petrie.ico.html |

Here's how the icon looks on my desktop: It doesn't look too good on mine. It was a lot better on my old desktop. |

NEW ICON! It's another Littlefoot one:![]() NOTE: my icons are set to an abnormally small size so I can fit a lot of them on the desktop. Default size is 32 and mine are set on 20 so there's a big difference. Download Link: http://www.bestsharing.com/files/tPHYs3272...efoot3.ico.html |

I've learned a lot about image transparancy and acquired more programs since I originally created these icons. I have a new download zip file with all of my icons. Here are all the icons I have done as of yet: NOTE: they really arn't fuzzy. I just compressed the jpeg you're seeing. Download link(to download them all at once): http://www.transferbigfiles.com/Get.aspx?i...37-b8dec9310298 |

I have optimized these even further. They are now of higher quality, but they use less windows resources and they take up less space. http://www.driveway.com/oklye46983 The download includes 15 different icons and the 3 animated cursors I made (Why bother to take them out? They're only 13k). The entire download size is about 100k.
