Heya all...I've started making my own smilies for my forum that I'm going to be setting up soon. I don't care much for the default smilies they provide, so I'm making my own using paint. (lol) Which works great for smilies. :)

My question is...is there a free animation program I can download so I can make some animated smilies as well? Thanks in advance. :D

EDIT: Oh, I just rememberd. I downloaded Icon Art a long time ago to make my faivons. Can I use that to make smilies? Is it better than paint?

for the animated thing... you can download the free trial of paintshop with comes with animation shop... it's only 30 days but think how many smilies you can make in 30 days!!

Hmm...well currently I dont think my laptop will support it, I dont have much space on my hard drive. (Leave it to computer ignorant parents to buy something with only 3 gigs of a hard drive, eh?) :D But for now I think I'll look around and see if I can find a site that donates animated smilies with permission. :) I like making my own non-moving smilies. 'Tis fun. :D And originality is best. :D
