Dana Hearts Zim

I didn't intend on making this for Valentine's Day specifically, but here ya' go...something for Valentine's Day.

I think I originally had 13 pics in this, but I cut out three of them. This took me forever to do. It's not my best as far as Paint drawings go, but I was focusing more on the actual animation. And I was bored.

Forgetting that I couldn't convert the animation to a .gif file in Movie Maker, I attempted animating it in GIMP, but the layers thing made me crazy so I gave up. Then my brother said that I should get one of those free Gif converters online. I did just that, but when it was converted there was a watermark on the avi. I ended up buying the program (it cost me $19.95) to get rid of it, and I thought it'd be better to buy it so I wouldn't have some cruddy free one that only lasts for a certain amount of time. I wonder how much I'll actually use it...

Anyway, I like how this came out. It took a while for me to decide on the effect at the end. I wanted something that would really show how freaked out Zim was when Dana held his hand. It was fun to make. ^^

P.S: Because I converted it from a movie file to a .gif, the quality of the colors lessened. And since I enlarged it, it messed up that way too.
