CZ mini-contest for 5 BP: Create the :gay: emoticon!

Easiest free-software method for simple fiddling with animated gifs that I’ve found is GIMP. Open an animation in there and it puts each frame on a new layer, resize image will scale every layer the same, save (making sure to select “save as animation” when it asks you how to export multiple frames to a gif) and you’re done.
If you were working from scratch, you’d have to put a time in milliseconds in brackets in each layer name – e.g. (100ms), but it’ll put that in for you when you open an existing animation, or you can let it bumume a default value for any unspecified frame when you save it. Also has some handy stuff under Filters>Animation, to optimise files for animation by stripping out the parts of each layer that are on the previous frame and don’t need to be repeated, or to preview the animation in motion. The optimisation can be a bit **** – I’ve had it increase the file size before, but generally speaking it’s an easy tool to use. man-man edited this message on 09/14/2009 10:05AM |

Is anyone else wondering whether there’s anything stopping the eventual winner from just keeping the 10BP and not spending half of it on uploading the emote?
I suppose that’d probably incur some kind of wrath and/or damnation from the powers that be, but is posting an emote in an emote contest toxxable if you don’t go through with uploading it? |

Me neither… just noticing a potential loophole.
Maybe I have a greedy subconscious, but that’s a matter between me and my |

There’s nothing stopping the winner from doing this, but I sincerely doubt anyone here would be that asinine.
We’re going to decide on a winner tonight, thanks for all your entries! |

And we have a winner!
Congrats to Johnny Mac who entered this: Log in to see images! It’s unique, easily identifiable, and really represents the theme we wanted. He gets 5BP and is guaranteed a Peen for the coming emoticon battle!
Inconnu’s Log in to see images! was quite well done, but was a little gimmicky for this contest. However, we’re going to upload it as :fairy: and give him 3BP for it. He’ll likely get a Peen for it, but I’d be surprised if he doesn’t easily earn one in the eventual contest.
