Rate my Avatar [First Gif Ever]

Ok, this seriously took me hours to figure out. I made all of the pictures for the frames fine, but figuring out how to put them together to make a gif took FOREVER. I tried many online websites and all of them have absolutely terrible quality. Then I tried Adobe Fireworks and Illustrator and couldn't get that to work. And finally after researching I learn that Photoshop can make gifs, so I put my layers in and time them up and everything and export it. These tiny little pixels of random colors start popping up, so then I try erasing them, didn't help. Then I put a black background behind all the frames, and... voilà, perfect. So what do you think? The picture I started off with just had him in the second to last frame I believe. I painted an open eye on the first frame and made the laser sight progress and finally painted a gunshot on the last frame. I think it turned out great for my first ever gif animation. And now I know how to make them in the future. Yayay! Tell me what you think. :biggrin:

@rasenshurikenn- It's not great because it's my first ever, I just wanted to learn how to make them. And I accomplished that.
@n0f4m3- Thank you! I heart you.

Oh and what should I make next?

It's alright for your first try.

I've been using Photoshop for over a year, and I still don't even know how to make a .gif well. :tongue:
