Did somebody slaughter a goat in here?

　　　　　　for my pixels，i draw them myself using a steam application called pixel studio．it’s my go to for doing anything pixel related including pixels and sometimes even blinkies．from there if i need any guidance i usually look at a reference image of what i’m trying to draw，or i sketch something in another window without the pixel brush．making 20x20 pixel art legible and clean is a bit tricky，so it can take some trial and error，but you can definitely do it！ pixel studio also has a built in animation feature，which is how i animate my pixels most of the time．animating it in pixel studio makes it so the pixels don’t turn out blurry，so i definitely recommend that if possible．

　　　　　　for my 40x40 or 50x50 gifs，i use photopea to open an image．then i go to image -> image size -> and scale it to my desired size．make sure to change bilinear to bicubic sharper，i find it makes the final gif a bit more clarified．from there i usually duplicate the layer on top of itself and then merge it，since there can be some transparency issues from the resizing．if it still looks wonky，repeat that，or go to filters -> sharpen -> sharpen more．it’s your graphics，so tweak it however you see fit！　♪( ´▽｀) from there i duplicate the image and move it to animate it．make sure each frame is its own layer．from there you’ll want to move all of your layers into order of the animation，and then rename all of the layers to “_a_”．then you can export and save as a gif，and adjust the speed there．if you want to tweak anything afterwards i suggest ezgif！

　　　　　　for my buttons，i use photopea again．here i use some others resources，so here they are！ i like to use these pixels or just make my own，here and here are some blank button templates，here and here are shiny gifs （i recommend using soft light overlay）．i use the font silkscreen．（ @inimalace i saw you commented asking about the font i use，so here you are！　sorry for tagging you in this huge thing hehe）if you want a more in depth tutorial on these，let me know！　(^｡^)

　　　　　　i make my stamps in photopea，they’re probably the easiest to make！ just import a stamp template，add a layer underneath as your image to put inside of the stamp，and scale to fit．erase any excess image around the transparency，add an overlay if you’d like，and viola！　any animations i do with ezgif．i make my stamp templates in pixel studio！　if your images are blurry，　try using bicubic sharper！

　　　　　　i make my blinkies in both pixel studio and photopea．i like the variety of fonts in photopea more！　i edit the colors and animation and add any decoration in pixel studio to avoid blur，then add text in photopea．you can just use mine as a base for the blinkie itself if you would like！　(^^) you can isolate the frames using ezgif and edit my decor out．

　　　　　　for my dividers， rentry graphics and layouts，i use photopea too．i love gradient maps and utilize them often．from this point for me，i just throw stuff together and whatever looks good sticks！　i can post some resources i frequently use if anyone would be interested，but they aren’t mine so absolutely do not credit me for them！
