🎄 CHRISTMAS UPDATE 2024 🎁

This update is, again way overdue, since the last one (Dec 20, 2023) and brings a lot of quality of life improvements and small fixes.

This is everything I worked on since then, finally released.

Emote Display Maker

The Emote Display Maker got another big update, especially for GIF's.

You might have guessed it, the top-banner with Vanlau's overly cute art is made with it.
More options to cut and control frames, including the long overdue animation reset option, to bring your animations into sync.

You can get "Your Own Character" from her til Jan. 1. 2025.

Quickly create art vs artist images for social media.
