Then click 'Export Layers (onion skin mode)' and click your new folder. Now, go back to Firealpaca and click 'file' again. I personally like to name it 'Anim (and then a random number). Now you're done with the frames, go to your desktop and make a new folder. Now you have 2 layers, your final frames. Merge the layer with only the head and the layer with only the body together. Now get the moving tool (i dunno what it's called, it's like 4 arrows pointing to each side, not the hand one) and go to the layer with ONLY the head. Turn off the layer with the body and the head (click the dot beside the layer). After that, Merge only ONE head layer and ONE body layer together, so you have 3 layers, 1 of the head AND body, 1 of only the head and 1 of the body. Duplicate the head layer and the body layer, so you have 2 head layers and 2 body layers. Make a new layer and draw your character's body/neck.
Step 2 : The Drawing Part (draw with the pixel tool)ĭraw your character's head (not including neck, only head). After that, click 'view' and click 'onion skin mode'. Set it to transparent if you haven't already, and click 'Done'. It might be white, and it might be transparent. When you click 'file' and then 'new', you'll see 'width' and 'height'.

Save the image you want to recolor to your computer, open it in FireAlpaca.įireAlpaca is a free program you can download, so no need for photoshop or even layers.ġ. We're starting with this one for our example:Ģ. Choose the SelectPen tool and highlight the areas you want to recolor. The highlight will appear red, you're not coloring anything, just selecting an area.ģ. Clean up the edges of the highlight with the SelectEraser tool.
I had highlighted the tooth but I cleaned it up as you can see. You can see the highlighted area better by swapping between any normal tool and the Select tools. That will reveal the area you highlighted while turning the non-highlighted areas blue. Onion Skin animation feature was introduced in version 1.5.0 (current version 1.7.3). You even get the "marching ants" to show you where exactly the borders lie.Ĥ. You might have an old version of FireAlpaca. Once you're happy with your highlighted area, press Ctrl + U or go to Filter -> Hue. Play with the sliders until you get your desired color. You're done, have fun! Alternatively you can go without the Select Tools, but they allow for more customization options by allowing you to select a small area instead of the entire image.
You can also invert the selection by going to Select -> Inverse. I've done that with the above to change the blueish metal to a more silver tone while keeping our gems a bright green. This can be done with any images really, such as familiars and apparel (though those are bigger and may require more time)Ĥ.
