The bets way is to probobly just take a pic in game of mc. Then open it up in photo shop, Ajust canvess size just right to make it just his head.

The model in the game is 3D...So take a screenshot like he said and then use it for you .gif. It WILL look 3D for obvious reasons.

Hm I have no clue then.. Milk shape isn't going to help. There isn't a moddle of JUST the mc's head. The head is part of the Biped CYBORG. That is why I sugested
