A bit simple but I like it. The only thing is, is that the image is low in quality. Other than that, it's good. :)

Do you know any way to increase the image quality, besides reducing the frames?

How do you make that? I've always wondered that. Is it images just blended together to form a movie or is it a clip of a show resized?

Honestly, no. I have yet to do one of those icons. I don't know much about animation. Sorry. pinch.gif

Depends on the program. Which one are you using?

It's an animation. You use multiple screencaps or images to make them animate. The animation itself looks horrible, so it's always recommended to edit the clip.

It's nice, but it looks like most other icons with animated scenes.

..But I can't really say anything because I don't know how making these things works.

yeah, i guess the only source of tutorials and tips would have to be livejournal's icon tutorials, which has been slowing down lately, since i go to that site everyday.
