Peep peep peep
Translation:Hihiya (or so Bon says) this is Gilbird here, to bring you a tutorial on how to make (well, not make but rip) icons into dream maker

WITH PICTURES. OOOOOoooOOO

Lets get started.


Step 1
First and very important, you NEED A SPRITE SHEET. The best place to get them is here, at the Spriters resource http://www.spriters-resource.com/

Step 2
You need to HAVE PAINT. Also a very big step. open the sprite sheet in paint...
Posted Image
Now,we'll get back to that later.

Now lets open up byond, and make a new environment name it whatever you wish(it should also be located on the desktop).Why do you need An environment? Why, this is your ticket to making icon files,of course!!!

Posted Image


Step 3

Now, lets make that icon file, shall we? Go to file and select "new","icon file". name it whatever you wish.

"Listen up! Let's say you drink too much strawberry milk and have to use the bathroom in the middle of the night. But it's cold outside your bed. You don't want to get up, but the urge to urinate is just too strong! You make up your mind to go! You run to the bathroom, stand in front of the toilet, and let loose! You think that all your life has led to this moment! But then you realize! It isn't the bathroom! You're still in bed! That feeling of lukewarm wetness spreads like wildfire! But you don't stop! You can't stop! That's what I'm talking about! That's the truth of the strawberry milk! Do you get it?!"

Step 4

This is where we start the copy, and paste process. (we are also back to the sprite sheet that was left open). You see the thing the camera like thing at the top, right? click on that.
Posted Image
See how there is 4 boxs each row? well, when you first click on it, you start with 3. you can change that using the box with the "4" in it. You should change this, depending on your icon.
Posted Image
Back to the sprite. You see the rectangle that is dotted (also highlighted in yellow) click that.
Posted Image
Posted Image
Do exactly what I did. MAKE SURE IT'S THE STANDING STATE.
Posted Image
Now. copy and past onto dream demon IN THE FIRST BOX.

Get the first stances of the icon, and put them into dream demon. Also, don't worry about the colors behind the icon, we'll get to those later. And now we're onto step..uhh, -counts feathers- 5!

Step 5
Posted Image
This is what yours should look somewhat like.
Posted Image
Now onto movements

Posted Image
This is how the first movement for the icon I'm using looks like. (different versions are at the end). Also notice how I decreased how many movements I had for this icon? You'll be doing that a lot if you continue perusing icon ripping.

Just repeat the process and you have this. Notice how I left the bottom row somewhat undone? I'll get to that..AFTER CLEAN UP!!!


Step 6

Posted Image
Posted Image
double click the first box, and select "flood". Right click the color that's in the back, and BOOM. It's gone. Also, using the arrows, move your character how you see fit.
Posted Image
This is how mine looks after flooding and moving the character around.

Posted Image
Now onto the last boxes, copy the whole row above it.(or individually )
Posted Image
now highlight the bottom row, and right click, and select paste.
Posted Image
TADA, but we're not done YET!
Posted Image
double click the first box, and you see the a arrow "<-->" click on that. And repeat the process.

Step 7

Now, next step IS OPTIONAL. yOU CAN SKIP THIS IF YOU WANT.

Posted Image
Press the back button, and press the camera again But this time, make only ONE row.
Posted Image
Go back to the original, and copy the entire first row.

Step 8

Posted Image
Posted Image
Now, double click under the newly made icon (the first one) to name it MARK THE M, DO NOT FORGET THIS.NAME THE SECOND ONE THE SAME THING, BUT, DON'T MARK THE M.
Last and Very very very important,.....SAVE
Posted Image

Also as promised
Posted Image
Posted Image
Posted Image
See? Not much different from the one I did. except, more movements. Also, take notice, on the 3rd movement it's the same as the first movement in the row.

"Why is everything so technical, got me thinkin' mechanical, puffin' on those botanicals, every second so critical. Bored with the human language, pain beat on my mental. Messin' with chemicals, sick as the appetites of cannibals. Far away they shoot a laser from a computer- ricochets off a satellite panel to a missile silo in Cuba. Eyes behold catastrophe, foreseen by Nostradamus. The prophets peep the millennium age of the broken promise. More religions than park pigeons, the poor envy the rich and monetary decisions make pessimistic the vision. It's like the whole planet went off the deep end While I was sleepin'. Men be leapin off ledges, when their women leave for the weekend. Why?"

You come to me with scars on your wrist,
You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this...

I just came to say goodbye,
Didn't want you to see me cry,
I'm fine..



But I know it's a lie....


This is the last night you'll spend alone, look me in the eyes so I know you know I'm everywhere you want me to be. The last night you'll spend alone, I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go- I'm everything you need me to be.
