Snowflake Challenge Day 7

Day 7
Stretch yourself a little and try something new. Go play in a new fandom or with a new pairing. Try working in a new medium. Or check out some fanworks that are new to you. (The recs from Day 2 might be a good place to start.) Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

So I actually spent yesterday doing something entirely new! Because I was dissatisfied by the quality of the Katara icons I could find I was like it can't be that hard to make them. Spoiler: it is and I have a new appreciation of the multi talented artists who create them.

But yesterday I taught myself how to make a gif, and then resize and edit it until it fit dreamwidths size requirements! I've only made 4 so far and they're not great but I want to keep making more.

Check them out-

These are great!

That's amazing! Did you have a guide? I'd love to do the same.

Well done!! I think I've successfully made 1 gif? Years ago? It is so challenging!

They look great! Congrats on your new skill!

Ooooh I really like the first one!

It's like the old-school meets the new! (before the age of the GIF, there was the gratuitous icon post or comment, on LiveJournal etc; and yes indeed those 100x100 pics Meant Things, you better believe it!)

Woot! I think you did a great job. I really like that Sypha one.
