Been meaning to ask: What program have you been using to make all of these animatons, and is it available for download?
Personally, I use two things, depending: Adobe Photoshop, or GIMP.
Photoshop is not free, in fact it is rather expensive. However, it is one of the very,
very few programs that I would say is worth every penny. I use Photoshop for many, many things, and I love it. But, it's not for everyone, and someone who is just dabbling will likely find it more than they ever need. Specifically, I use ImageReady to do the edits.
GIMP, on the other hand, is completely free; although, I have heard it isn't as stable in Windows (I use Linux most of the time). The interface is one of the most poorly designed I have ever seen. Period. However, I actually find it easier to do animated gifs in GIMP as opposed to ImageReady. Photoshop beats it hands-down for most things, but GIMP actually does rather well in this area.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure Vuldari has been using GIMP, and I don't remember exactly what Figarou uses, but I do remember it was an Adobe product.
Anyway, you can find The GIMP
here.
