This thread's made some amazing stuff. I've bookmarked a lot of it to come back to and study. Really good.

Here's three gifs and a not gif. GIMP and Audacity.

Yeah, animated gifs are a pain. What I've been doing is using Audacity for edits, because Notepad++ is just awful for me, I can't use it competently, but before that I do minor edits in GIMP. GIMP will make each frame of the animation its own layer, so it's really simple to colorize or manipulate certain parts. Then I grab certain parts of the image from certain frames, isolate them as new images, then take them to Audacity for further edits. Then I export them back into GIMP into their rightful place.

It's very tedious!

The non animated Space Invaders is nice. It's got that "looking at traffic through a rainy car window" thing going, with almost recognizable shapes blobbing around in a big sea of vagueness.
