Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

[Plexus]

I don't do a whole lot of video production, mainly graphics. Though I have been known to do a bit of A/V on the side.

Are you using 6? There's almost NO difference! And I don't really bother with plug-ins... do you use 'em?

yep, 6 with a few plug-ins. I have a few different plugins/filters but only really ever use one of them....Have Ulead, flaming pear and eye candy...use eye candy the most. Have my eye on of few other filters but so far eye candy does just about everything else the others do. As for my skills...I have to put most of the credit in the filters/plugins especially seeing what you can do without them

I am far too credit card-less to obtain and far too pennyless to afford those pricey plugins. How I'd love to have Xenofex.

Trust me, I will. It is in my list. I will randomly change it one of these days, and I may randomly choose yours!!! There is a 1 in 5 chance of me randomly clicking on yours, and a 1 in X chance of me randomly deciding to change avatars. I get tired of them after a while, and will randomly change them, but yours is cool!!! I will use it, trust me.

Sideshow, I guess the first thing we can try is give your av a little transparency, which gives us this:

If this doesn't do the trick, we can look for different SSB artwork, and then go from there.

Nice! Sooo much sharper without the background. I want to get some nice programs to experiment with too! Whent I get boored of tea drinking I might get another picture

Could someone please make one of those Avatar's with either the Savatage logo or preferrably the Wake of Magellan cover with the ship? I don't know which color would be best suited. Here's a (crappy) picture of the cover and a lighter and crisper pic of it.

Thanx gogf. I'm not the best art critic but that looks halfway decent, right? I'm thinking Wake might not be the best looking avatar but I have no taste so I'm not really sure. Here are all their covers

Fight for the rock looks very cool too I think.

Hi guys,

Ok, I want my avatar changed a bit. I would like my current avatar background (I love Plexuses sunset.), with Lyonesses Flag (see below), and two red stripes down the side, like Gogf's. So kinda like the Canadian flag with shorter red stripes horizontally, and the sunset in the background.

Thanks a lot!!!

 

[Gogf]

I just downloaded it to make the change (it will be done soon), and realised, that that was the one Lyonesse made you. I got it. I thought that was a random avatar you found, and had decided not to use Raijer's, Lyonesses's or mine. Okay, ignore my earlier comment, sorry.

 

[Gogf]

Here, there wasn't much room for stripes, and some of the old leaf is left. I can redo it if you want, because I mean, this is really bad:

@Kdar and Raijer (Hey it Rhymes!) - Thank you both for the wonderful avatars! They look much better than my MS paint versions...

 

[WillJ]

Hey guys,

Could someone make this enlarged (35x65) image of the Civ2 Diplomat look clear and sharp instead of pixelated?:

Also do the same for this enlarged pimp smilie?:

Man, I have too many avatar options to choose from now...

I like it, but I was thinking take out the shield, I just want the Leaf that Lyonesse used on the shield, not the entire shielf, because I prefer it to the current Leaf. I basically want Plexuses background, sunset dealie, Lyonesses Flag, not the whole shield, just the flag, and 2 vertical bars on each end, kinda like the Canadian Flag with Plexuses background instead of the white.

I like what you did though, that looks neat.

 

[Lyonesse]

dang it...still don't have my computer up and running...about to steal one of the hubby <evil grin> As soon as I can get my photoshop back I will get to "work"

 

[Gogf]

RG, I'm kind of occupied this weekend, but I might be able to get it done before Monday.

 

[Goober]

No problem. No "deadline" for this. Thanks a lot you guys . . .
