How to make a DJ Avatar

[Pumpking]

A couple members have made DJ Avatars, like this one:

Some people are probably wondering how to make these, so I'm making a guide.

Step 1: Find a template. I already made one, it can be found as a .zip file attached to this post.
Step 2: Once you extract .zip file, you will find a template .gif, and folder called "Frames". When you open this folder, you will find 6 images. These are the frames of the template .gif
Step 3: Edit the frames. Now you can draw a face on the DJ on each frame. I drew a Jack O' Lantern face on mine. You can also add background if you want.
Step 4: Animate it. There are many websites that you can use to animate, but I use this website. Upload the 6 frames you edited. Then, set "Delay Time" to 10.
Step 5: Save it. Go down to "Output" and click "save". Save it to wherever you want.

Now that you know how to do it, you can join the DJ Fad!
(Social Forum coming soon!)

Thanks for the template! I'll use gimp to make my own probably, but I sense a new fad emerging.

The .zip file came with the frames of the .gif You can edit those, then use the website above to animate them.

This guide was made with PC in mind, and I hardly ever use a phone. I don't what you have access to on them.

When I try to edit it in GIMP it the color I choose always changes to a grayer version of it. And that is only with this file.

I made one. Thanks! I may put in a background later, and may edit the speakers to appear more confectionery. Your version does look darker, though?

EDIT:

Err... Can someone make one of these for me? I really don't know anything about this.
I'm dumb when it comes to stuff like photoshop/pixel art/any other thing that invlolves a computer and "art".
