Question : HEY BRENDA!I KNOW THAT YOU MAKE YOUR OWN CURSOR\'S SO MY QUESTION IS JUST SIMPLY: HOW DO U MAKE THE ARROW IN THE CURSOR?DO YOU FIND A ARROW PIXEL AND ADD IT IN OR DO U MAKE IT FROM SCRATCH?HEHE, SORRY IF THE QUESTION ISNT CLEAR ENOUGH, YOU CAN GO TO MY SITE IF YOU DONT GET MY QUESTION LOL.
Answer : I make it from scratch. Basically, when I make cursors and other mini pixel graphics, I make it from "scratch" if you want to call it that. So I start with a new file, with nothing and I just start kind of... drawing and experimenting. I make sure I view it in normal size to see if it looks akward or anything. If it is, I'll fix it.


Question : What is the name of the pixel font on some of your cursors, such as the ones that say fashion, ae, and a&f? thanks :)
Answer : It's called ChibitA5


Question : What programmes do you make your graphics on?
Answer : I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 9 and Jasc Animationshop.


Question : Heyy, Well I know you dont use animation shop for making cursors.. but here it goes anyways..So my question is that I have the code, and i\'ve uploaded it and i have the image url, but when I actually add it onto my site, the text on the cursor gets squishy. Is there something that you do to make the text clear?
Answer : Actually, I do use animation shop to make my cursors. Your document has to be 32x32 pixels. Anything bigger or smaller than those dimensions will mess up the way your cursor looks.


Question : So...you know how people make blends, right? And they have those words or writing on them. The writing which is actually a "brush". And brushes usually have white background so if I put that brush on a blend, it will not show up good. Do you know what I mean? I want to know how to get rid of the brush's background.
Answer : Well I only have a solution if you have Paint Shop Pro or Photoshop. Otherwise I don't know. I'm not good with tutorials so I have links to them.
PHOTOSHOP (If you just have the image, just save it into a folder instead of "downloading"
PAINT SHOP PRO
I hope this helped.

Answer : There are quite a few sites that offer PNG's. To make a PNG, you use a photo editing program and basically cut away the parts you don.t need. Visit here for PNG's or here for the tutorial.


Question : Do you make your own blends? Can you tell me where to get PNGs?
Answer : Yup. I make all of my blends myself. Of course I get inspiration here and there. The PNG's are all by me. When I find an image or few that I like, I cut it out myself andmake a layout out of that ^^


Question : I was jsut wondering how you get the pages to open in the the small space on your homepage...instead of a whole new page
Answer : It's called iframes. It's very easy to use once you unerstand it. I suggest you don't ask me to explain it to you because I am absolutely terrible ^^; If it helps, this site has a tutorial perfect for it. That's where I learned how to use mine.


Question : Where do you get your brushes?
Answer : I get my brushes from many sites. If you wish to view them all, click on my "site" page, and then scroll to to very bottom. Those are all my credits. I usually use brushes from outspoken-kate, lethalkiss and saruna


Question : How do you make your own cursors? do you need special program?(other than animation) Could i make them in photo shop?
Answer : I make my cursors using Animation shop. To make cursors, you need an animating program. Iconlover is a terrific program. I used to use this program until it expired on me. You cannot make them in any photo editing software (usually) like Paint shop pro or Adobe Photoshop. Cursors are NOT image files! They are .ani or .cur files.
