"How do I make blinkies?"

are you excited???are you??? i am!! blinkies were actually the first graphic type i learnt to make back in.. uhh.. 2021..? i think. anyway, im glad i get to enlighten the masses on how to make these ancient decors~

☆ TL:DR~

import layers below in the order they're given

decorate blinkie however you'd like

export frame 1, switch colours on the blinkie..blinkers..??

export frame 2

put together in ezgif

use on rentry!

did you get that? no? makes sense, it's difficult to reduce blinkies down to such a simple step by step tutorial.. anyway, read below :3c

�� what's a blinkie??

.. if you've read the other tutorials, you know what im gonna say next. say it with me now: "they're a form of self expression!" pfft, seriously though, blinkies are by far one of the oldest and well-known forms of web decor. even if someone doesn't know what they're called, if you show 'em one it's almost guaranteed that they'll have seen one out in the wild before.

they're also one of the most extensively decorated web decor of all time. shiny buttons can be somewhat personalised, userboxes can showcase some stuff about yourself, but when it comes to blinkies, there really are endless possibilities for what you can do with them!

..

..

what? stamps?? i mean, yeah, they're kinda personalisable, but shh.. they aren't important here ;;

anyway, like i was saying, the possibilities when decorating them are seriously extensive, but im only gonna cover the absolute basics here. after this masterclass in blinkie essentials, you too can fly free and create your own special decor!

☆ the layers~

as always, here are the layers:

import the bottom layer, and add the other three to your canvas! well, other two.. the second layer is optional, since the colour palettes i use r kinda difficult i just add it to make stuff easier. but anyways, onto the next step

☆ DECORATING!! ☆

[PT: decorating]

okay, so when it comes to blinkies there are no set rules for decorating, technically it doesn't even need to "blink" to be considered a blinkie. it's best to envision your end goal before you get started, unless you have aphantasia in which case.. you aren't really gonna struggle much, blinkies rarely turn out how you envision them anyways.

for this tutorial, im going to make a nagito komaeda themed blinkie. i find that for blinkies with imported graphics, it's better to figure out their placements before anything else, and to then work backwards to figure out the colours.

like that! i like to put whatever graphics i use at the front of everything else so that it pops out, but tbh you can put them wherever you'd like.. well, you probably shouldn't put them behind the bottom layer, but anything else is free game!

to choose colours, you only need to understand the pure basics of colour theory. yellow goes with purple, green goes with blue and purple, red goes with blue.. etc, etc. but ya know, colourpicking based on which colours are used in your imported image is usually the best way to go about it when you're just getting started.

once you have your colours, the next thing to do is to add words. usually i have a common font i use for my decor, but the beauty of blinkies is that they're typically big enough to handle a very large expanse of fonts..

so i guess what im saying is,

go absolutely nuts!!!!!!!!

[pt: go absolutely nuts!]

now that you've designed your blinkie, the next part is...

☆ making it into a gif~

this is... srsly not as daunting as it sounds. you need to save your current blinkie as a png (keep the editable file open!!!!!), and then proceed to switch the colours on the outer, uhh, blinkers (is that what they're called.. blinkers..??)

to do this, we'll be utilising the clipping tool. this will allow us to change the colour of the layers without spending 5 minutes each time going around the canvas with a bucket tool. on ibis, create a new layer atop one of your blinker layers, and at the bottom of the screen near the lovely opacity bar, there should be a big black button with an arrow curved downward. that is the clipping tool.

on photopea, you just need to create a new layer above your blinker, then head to the layer tab up at the top of the screen and click "clipping mask." for anything else.. i have no clue, srry!

but anyway, all you need to do is switch the colours between the two layers!

like so! and now that you have these two layers, you need to head to ezgif's gif maker and import them together. after that, it's smooth sailing! just click the "make a gif" button and you'll get this:

you can make it faster or slower by changing the delay time. a higher number makes the frames switch slower, and a lower number.. does the exact opposite! and......

congratulations !! 🎉🎉

[pt: congratulations!]

you have now successfully made a blinkie, and as time goes on you'll find newer and greater ways to personalise them! oh, but if you do make blinkies, remember to tag them with the appropriate warnings (eyestrain, flicker, flash etc.) otherwise you could do some serious harm..!!

this has been another tutorial by me, thank you for reading and i hope it helped you in some way! if it didn't, then my askbox is always open for further questions （=´∇｀=）

okay, nyan-nya out--meow meow~

hello, can i get a promo?

HELLO rijians i am ALIVE AND WELL!!!!

i would like to apologize for disappearing for months and not posting anything and leaving a few asks to specific creators and dipping. my academic career was dropping so i had to throw this account to the side.

BUT i am on break now for this week and next week! so i want to make this account alive again.

i actually havent checked this blogs followers in forever

but we’ve reached over 300 followers! so i want to thank all of you for supporting me despite me disappearing from the face of the earth. no events, sorry, im too lazy for that, but i’ll likely make a template or two as a gift of appreciation.

i’m sorry for not keeping my promises in the past, i didn’t keep them because i forgot about them.

a few things i want to change about this blog:

i’m likely going to be posting more of rentry inspo and rentry resources compared to graphics and stuff. why? i don’t want to make much stuff for people now sorry im not super interested in that stuff. unless i start commissions which i need to make example rentries of.

i’m not going to be very request oriented anymore! i’ve found that my will to do anything diminishes when someone asks me to do something. so instead, i’ll likely be opening suggestions for inspo and resources. crediting to lavender/lavendergalactic for the idea of suggestions ^_^

lastly, i kindly ask that you don’t ping me for palestine posts because often not there are images that are very graphic and i’m not comfortable with them. however, i still will keep up other ways to support the crisis in gaza, notably by the daily clicks site.

i will likely revamp most of my things here.

tag list below !

holy shat i hit the tag limit like the #’s
