When you save the image for the first time (If you've already saved it, you need to save as and replace it) there will be a window with the gif options.
One of those is set to "I don't care", which defaults to combine. You need to set it to replace. After having saved, go to file -> revert.
You can now use the playback feature to see your animation without combining frames and with the frame delay you specified. (Frame delay only works in multiples of ten.)
Note that saving as a gif will make your image indexed, and you will have to switch it to RGB (Image -> Mode) if you want to add colours later.

Thanks!

I'll try that out next time.

Might i request some help with this sprite please. It's a silhouette of Riku from Kingdom Hearts 1 unless it wasn't obvious already. All i ask is if someone could please edit this one frame so Riku looks like he's actually slashing with his sword and cutting the Shadow Heartless. At the moment it looks like he's swinging a bat, and I want quite a bit more then that. Remove the Heartless from the image if you wish, just go nuts at it. I'm kinda stumped.
Best of luck to all who wish to attempt

PS: His sword isn't meant to be silhouetted.

This is my first gif
And I'm not so proud of myself...

its because of its unnatural position it looks like hes going to take a swing,Swordsman usally swing up to down for more power then what you are doing down up.

And since what it seems to be the shape edge blade is facing the wrong way it looks like hes about to chop.(the red)
IN my opinion
If you were to try to swing a sword in the direction I think its going in, I would be difficult to get a clean swipe and just looks pretty silly.

Since I know nothing about being a samurai nor a Kingdom hearts.. guy I could be wrong.
[Sorry but no edits from me today: I would need to see the full animation; if that the whole then just reposition]

eh..this isn't actually a request, this is just a question, and I really didn't want to make another topic for this, so here it goes...
Is it possible to have the paint in Windows 7 (the cool one) on Window's XP?

The best would be that you download Paint.NET

Free, made for Windows, works well with spriting and is a thousand times better than MS Paint.

can someone size the animation of my signature to my avatar size but keeping the animation?

Just gonna bump this thing to ask if anyone knows how to fix a bad hair day...

The top row of hair is the correct color and shape, but the animation is choppy. Can anyone gimmie a hand? I'm really bad with hair...

Well for starters the hair has a poor outline and banded shading which makes it even worse.

It was ripped from a JPEG and recolored, mostly because the JEPG model was almost literally exactly what I was looking for.
Recoloring is something I can do myself, I just stopped before posting the request. Its fluid hair I'm piss poor at

Sorry for the Bump but.

Can someone please change this sprite so that it's standing 5/6ths to the side?

I made two because I wasn't sure which you would like better. Hope that helps.

Thanks.

Sorry for the bump, but could someone please fix/redo the hair shading on my Toon Link pixel art? I just can't seem to get it right :/ (and yes it is based off the smash bros. pose)
