Headcrab emoticon?

[KingPing_NOR]

Can someone make one?
Such a big HL community here that we need one!
ONlY available here, ofcourse.

maby something similar to this one: :imu:
With some animations to, not just a picture.

EDIT: Ow, and a 'headcrab jumping on a scientist' emoticon would also be cool!

:cheers:

I think there was a contest, but it never got added to the library

I'm moving this to the Art forum. If someone can find the smiley from the art contest, or if someone wants to make another one, maybe it'll get added to the current set.

Here is a zombie/manipulator one I made way back when for the contest:

Most people have probably already seen it, but if not, whatever .

Btw, what did you use to make that Valteq? I imagine flash would work? Small pic + frames + export as gif?

Definatly not, probably Animation shop or something.

sorry for brining up an old thread, but i wanna test my smiley in the art forum, as i want it to blend into the backround with the tags.

Adobe ImageReady is the best for animating gifs. It comes with photoshop usually.

all i have is crappy CYD gif maker or something, i dont have photoshop :|

Actually my animation was a hybrid mix of hard core frame by frame paint animation, and flash. Basically, I made a 90 x 21 image and then copied it, and moved it down 21 pixels, changing each part individually. The barrel was drawn in paint up until the part where the manipulator picks it up. This part was an overlay in flash of the barrel object with a motion tween and some simple rotation. The massive 90 x 1200 ish keyframed image was scrolled from top to bottom with a motion tween, to basically make show each frame, once per "flash frame" if that makes sense. The barrel fit right in because I made sure to disable all smoothing and compression on the pictures.

you used flash? :|

i have flash, although im better off using paint to make emoticons, can you tell me how to put more frames per second into my flash animation? thanks

also how can you make it smaller apart from reducing the colours and saving it as a GIF?

*edit* also, when not saving as a gif, how do you put a loading bar at the start of your movie?

and a button to restart the movie?

ive tried the tutorial but its really confusing and long :/
