I love my Jeeves facepalm icon, but I didn't make it. Credit has to go to spacemonkeyluvn. I can't make animated icons at all, unless they're just a sequence of a few still frames.
I love your Jeeves facepalm icon, too. :-) Kudos to spacemonkeyluvn!
Animated gifs are hard to do. I have yet to play with creating them from scratch, but I can make them using one of the online sites like Gickr (http://gickr.com/) or Gifninja (http://www.gifninja.com/ConvertVideoToGif.aspx), then open them in Adobe Image Ready (an ancient version) and fiddle with them to get the right number of frames to bring it down to 40kb (the LJ icon file size limit). With video clips, I edit and use filters in Avidemux (freeware) video editing program. (Very easy to use.) For slide-show type icons, I prepare everything in my ancient Photoshop, then use Gickr.
Mind you, I'm much more functional with creating with pencils and paper. Photoshop is very useful, but mostly it just frustrates me.
Aw, thank you. I'm so glad you like my first Jeeves and Bertie one! Please feel welcome to take it, or the one here (my second attempt), and use.
I found Windows Movie Maker to be more like "ragemaker," it was so frustrating and non-intuitive, whereas even I found Avidemux easy to figure out by just experimenting a bit.
You're welcome for the icon, and, oh!, don't I know it about finding icon space! I have so many terrific icons in "the waiting line" on my hard drive.
And, oooh! Another terrific icon you've got there! I've admired that one before when I saw it.

Also, *giggle* at the thought of finding this in Bertie's room. *bg*
