So I herd u liek eyePods


I've decided that since people tend to like having the eyePods for their characters and I simply don't have enough time to color them for everybody to make a new template for them and let people color their own!

With that in mind, we begin with downloading the template here and a request that you do not color eyePods for people for money. I always made them for free and I am supplying the template for free.

Love is free. Okay good, that is all.

(Next post will contain some helpful tips for coloring the eyePod template + saving it as an animated gif)


ALSO FEEL FREE TO POST YOUR EYEPODS HERE SO I CAN SEE THEM OKAY OKAY GOOD <3

Pach Help! Your Template Confuses Me!


I REALIZE I DO THINGS REALLY STRANGELY, so with that in mind, I have assembled a few images to help you out where I can:

What Font Are We Using?

Silkscreen. You should be able to find a download via google/asking around/yes

Coloring the Eyelid All Easy Like

-- Taking the same color I've colored the outline of the eyePod with, I go to Hue/Saturation and colorize the layer with a 33% saturation applied. It fusses ALL of the colors to that hue so you don't have to recolor anything I've done on that layer (nor does it effect the animation outside of just the color)


My Text is Doing Wonky Stuff!

Make sure you have the text layer you want to edit selected, then select the Type Tool. This symbol will appear in the top toolbar User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.

Clicking it will open this

Fuss that top slider, the text size, and even adding in a few spaces between words/at the beginning/end of things to get the curvature you want (I think as close to a circle as possible looks best)

How Does I Gif?

I have the animation set up already, so as long as you don't move any layers while you're coloring, everything will go as the animation above shows. However, to get it to save as an animated gif, you just

I'd highly recommend resizing before you save it to about 200px wide (which should make it sig safe), but you can keep it whatever size you want.

Can I Edit/Color the 'Do Not Color' Layers?

If you know what you're doing, yes. I just have those labelled the way I have them for the sake of ease for people who might not know/just want to color a thing. So make them look however you want, have fun. TADA!!

The end.


I have a different problem! Help help!

Let me know and I shall run to your rescue like I am Batman having seen the Bat Signal in the sky (only be more specific, I don't know how Batman knows exactly where he is needed with just a light in the sky. Batsenses I guess.)
