Bleach Byakuya Kuchiki Desktop Shimeji

I only just discovered Shimejis a few days ago and after looking at a few tutorials on how to make them (the images not the program coding) I decided to make my own. And what better one to make then one of Byakuya. ^^

Well after I painted some 40 images in photoshop this is what I got. It was so much work that I actually decided to share it with you all. I'm still very new to animating things so some of the images are a bit awkward (the walking poses especially) but even so I'm rather pleased at the outcome - and currently I have one crawling along the top of my monitor ^^

What is a Shimeji? Well it's basically a little character that walks, jumps, falls, and climbs over your desktop. It really doesn't have a purpose, but many (myself included) find it amusing to watch.


Instructions:

Download the .zip file.
Unzip and double click the Shimeji-ee program file (it's the little computer icon).
Make sure 'Byakuya' is checked then click 'Use selected'
A little Byakuya should appear on your screen.
Right clicking on him brings up the menu.
To end the program click the 'Bye Everyone'
Also a note. They have a habit of randomly stealing your internet browsers window. Just click 'Restore IE' to bring it back.

Also from what I've read these don't work on MAC computers.
Shimeji can run on Windows 2000, XP, Vista or 7
To run shimeji, your computer needs Java 6

Time: 2 days
