sorry if this was has been asked b4 but how did you do your Raika Hojo pixels/blinkies? I wanna learn how to do ‘em :D

og post: https://www.tumblr.com/chichirid/767910269177528320/raika-hojo-pixels-and-blinkies-20x20-and-30x30

this is a tutorial on photopea, and its kind of vague so feel free to lmk if you need specific steps rather than a general process / if you dont understand anything :3

hiii so for the blinkies i used this dotted border, and this rectangle border i made (dont credit me, i traced it from blinkie cafe 😳)

i forgot which font i used.. sorry!! but i found a sampler online and typed "special for princess" and "raika hojo" then screenshotted it like the image below. then i removed the bg and was only left with the black text. then in photopea i selected the pixels of the layer so it only selected the text, and then i very carefully traced over the letters using the brush tool. (btw i colour-picked the colours from their logo image). i used the screen layer setting & a stroke setting of one pixel.

i just used a cursive font and tried to imitate a ribbon myself through colouring ><

for the raika pngs i screenshotted some sprites then copied them in. idk how to use symmetry so i placed one png at one side of the blinkie, and found what X coordinate it was at. (ie 205px) and then subtracted that from my blinkie template's total X width (730px). then manually typed the X coordinate of the other png based off that formula (so to get a png symmetrical to an image at 205px, the X coordinate of the png would be 730 - 205px.)

for the flashing dots i made two frames:

then i combined these in ezgif "gif maker". the lower the delay time the faster the gif will go.

to make these two frames i used that earlier dotted border. essentially i used a gradient map on the dotted border's layer where the black was the red colour used and then the white. (like this image below as an example, both colours are set at 50% and 50% to get an even split). this makes one frame. to get the other i just clicked "reverse gradient".

to make the pixels, i saved some raika pngs using the enstars wiki, and then opened a new canvas in photopea with the dimensions of 30x30. (30 width, 30 height). then i opened the pngs and sized them how i wanted. important for this step: CLICK ENTER ON YOUR KEYBOARD ONCE FINISHED SIZING! this will make the pngs go blurry rather than pixelated, which will result in a more legible image when viewed from far away. its really up to you but i like making my images blurry. example:

on the left i havent hit enter on my keyboard, on the right i have. save this basic png without the background layer

then just "ctrl + alt + t" again and either tilt the image, size it up, or use the arrow keys to move it sideways or up. save this moved image and once again i used ezgif gif maker to combine the two frames and make a pixel. oh also click "dont stack frames" when making the gif. here i moved the basic image 7 degrees to the left and used a delay of 30. hope this helped ^_^

hii, sorry if you've answered this before but what do you use to make your edits ? your stuff is so cool it's inspiring me to try it out for myself hdkghdkgj,,

oh my gosh tysm 🥺 i really appreciate this but ill just get straight into the list! underlined = link , highlighted is website names

sorry for the long post i ended up yapping.. tldr photopea, ezgif, lunapic, alphabetiser, nameberry, magic baby names, baby centre, sekaipedia, pinterest, tumblr, . also at the bottom is a tutorial on making stamps & some templates

for basic editing i use photopea - https://www.photopea.com/ , if its too confusing you can also try ibis paint but its too confusing for me. i click "new project" and then use the dimensions i need ( tumblr banner = 1280x720 , twt banner = 1500x500 ). i can also make basic photopea functions tutorial if you need it bc a lot of people find it difficult to navigate. i dont have any specific favourite layer blends but i recommend light colours -> use the section under "lighten" , dark colours -> use the section under "darken" , blacks and whites -> use the section under "difference". of course once ur more comfortable u can just do whatver layer blends u want ^ ^

for gif editing / merging (layouts, pixels, blinkies) i use photopea's layer -> animation -> merge settings, however if that doesn't work i use ezgif - https://ezgif.com/ , specifically the gif maker.

for adding animations to stamps, i use lunapic's animations tab - https://www6.lunapic.com/editor/?action=animation-examples . i also used to use this website a lot for old layouts before i knew how to use photopea. below i highlighted my fav settings (3x for sizing)

for npts i use alphabetizer - https://alphabetizer.flap.tv/ to organise name lists. if you use this make sure to turn ON "ignore case" in the side menu!! it sorts capital letters as normal, and then i delete the capital letters later when formatting a post. for names i use websites like nameberry, magic baby names, and baby center. not sure how to explain it but i just get a feeling that a name suits a character ^ ^. as an example in all of these i used "orchid". for titles and pronouns i just use my imagination based off the character's wiki page.

for resources: i find proseka transparents online at sekaipedia - https://www.sekaipedia.org/wiki/Characters , or at @prosekaipng or @sekaitransparents . i find frames and pngs on pinterest or tumblr, and use unscreen to remove the background of gifs and remove.bg to remove the background of any image i cant be bothered manually removing. when i need to do touch-ups myself i use photopea

i find colour matches for layouts on pinterest, and then edit the shit out of them until it looks close enough to a colour palette (example below of some colour editing i've done recently). most of the things i do are extreme changes but i started off by making subtle changes in my old layout posts on lunapic, which i still sometimes do today like in the last example from a post currently sitting in my drafts i havent finished. (￣ ￣|| )

(this is how i found out my emu photopea file didnt save btw so excuse the missing elements ...)

for overlays, btw i use A LOT OF THESE, and also lots of custom PSDs. a psd is basically a colouring file you overlay on top of something, and are similiar to smart filters. in photopea you can click "image -> adjustments -> (whatever)" and apply that to one singular image, and these are called smart filters because you can transfer them to other images by individually dragging them. OR you can click "layer -> new adjustment layer -> (whatever" and this is a PSD because it automatically applies to all images. in photoshop, there are no "smart filters" iirc. i use a combo of smart filters & psds & overlays. i find overlays sometimes on pinterest, but mainly on tumblr. my favs below. use layer blends on these!!

for stamps i use templates in photopea using a raster mask. you can find templates on tumblr and deviantart, majority of tumblr dumps are from deviantart, so i focus on using deviantart myself and finding original stamp works on tumblr rather than reposts. some accounts i recommend are caterpillar-with-a-crayon and dixons-graveyard. remember to credit artists!!

to do this, first open a template in photopea using either " file -> open " or " open from computer " . next select the magic wand and select the inside of the stamp. next open a new layer using the blank page (second from the right, bottom right, next to the trash can below the layers) and use the brush tool to colour in the selection from earlier. it may look like an eraser, or any other icons shown in the menu. right click and select the brush tool, then hold down to colour it in. you should have something now looking like the fourth slide, with a stamp template on one layer and the colour on a layer above it.

to make the raster mask, de-select the colour by clicking anywhere in the dark grey surrounding the canvas. while on the colour layer, select "layer" (fourth from the left, next to "image" and "select, menu in the top left), then select "raster mask" -> "from transparency" . your coloured layer will then split into the colour surrounded by black, and a white version of the colour. both connected with a chain.

now, create a folder above your stamp template by clicking the button shaped like a file (bottom right menu, 3rd from the right, between a sheet of paper and a circle cut in half). now, click on the RIGHT split from the layer (the white colouring) and drag it onto the folder. it should stick there. now, anything you put inside that folder will fit the stamp inside! remember to turn OFF the red layer by click the eyes next to the layer. this wont affect your raster mask. i used an image and the text tool.

you can also do more complex things involving stamps but this is a basic tutorial ^ ^.
