Description Old Stamp, IS OLD! and my most Favorited Deviations are... STAMPS?
DISABLED COMMENTS IN ALL MY STAMPS, BECAUSE THEY GET MORE ATTENTION COMPARED TO MY COMICS!
Irony: I stopped being Interested in Pixel Art!

MY FIRST STAMP
Have you ever Notice Some Stamps, Pixel Art, Static Emoticons and even Sprite Sheets that you want to use, but the Quality is ruined?

This is Caused by the type of File that it is saved .JPG You must never save your Pixel Art as JPG because it kill the Quality, Prefer .Gif or .Png

Inspiration
Almost Every Day i Check the newest Stamps, Emoticons and Pixel Art.

But i notice that some people Save them as .JPG, ruin the Quality and the size of the file.

It's a Pity because some of them are very good, but their JPG Quality is their only weakness

So if you ever make something Pixel Relate, you worked very Hard and want to be the best, DON'T EVER THINK ABOUT "Save as..." JPG

Skit
The Message ask in which format Each Emoticon will be saved
Orange Pick .Gif
Green Pick .JPG and freeze in Time

Information
Program Used: Gimp
Layers: 49
Time needed for this 4+/- Hours


And since i get better and better with Emoticons too, i use them for my First Stamp

Bitmaps (.bmp) are completely lossless, but of course, they don't support transparency.

I noticed the date of the submitted stamp.

I'm not good with animation at that level at all in gimp. I wanna get that good. Did you use a tutorial to show you how to animate like that?

Leonidash15 In reply to ayame18 [2011-03-30 21:29:54 +0000 UTC]

Yes actually! YouTube Videos had been Teaching me how to use GIMP a while now!
Other Deviant's Tutorials for Emoticons and Stamps were Extremely helpful as well!
It's have been a while since the last time I animated something and I am kind of Rusty!

Rae-Nine [2010-06-19 19:58:10 +0000 UTC]

that's one thing I love about Flash - I can up the jpg quality to 100%, so I get the best quality

but yeah I see your point - it sucks making a gif though, and finding out you have to lower the quality to use it as an icon -_-

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Leonidash15 In reply to Rae-Nine [2010-06-21 00:39:27 +0000 UTC]

I have never Worked with Flash, but this Sound really Interesting

Not really, some Programs have a Option to reduce the Size of an Animated .Gif Without hurting the Quality.

Like Gimp, you can choose the option "Optimize for GIF" or "Optimize Difference" to reduce the size of a gimp (Of course it has some Limits as well )

Rae-Nine In reply to Leonidash15 [2010-07-24 04:04:28 +0000 UTC]

Flash is quite a fun program to use

orly? I have Fireworks and Photoshop - maybe I'll do some investigating

You officially pwn.

Okay, I hate useless comments like that too, but seriously: it is so annoying... my sister used to do that and I finally explained to her that it was the reason her art was killed whenever she saved it.

JPG is easily Kills your Pixels Art, it's can be Interesting, but the Quality Kills it and people will avoid it
