hmmmm I think I do like that one better too!

of course you can move the planet all over the image...center, bottom-left, top-right etc.
 
Not that it makes a lick of difference to me, but....

Doesn't the planet seem disproportionately large? Is it still recognizable in a smaller size? And do you have some white dots you could put in the background?

(I'm just nosy, but nowhere near talented enough to do it myself. Just tell me to buzz off if I'm a nuisance;) )
 
What filter did you use on the cube to do that, Lyoness?

Your last one was the best, so I added a lens flare to it for final effect.

@Misfit: I just took our sun, and modified the color.

@Sens: Well, considering the avatar maximum, if we made it to scale, it would look aweful. Also, just image you're quite close to the planet, but far from the sun.

actually I started with an "original" earth image, cut out three seperate squares, "Skewed" the top and right squares, then added very small flares to the corners and a thin gradient glow* around the edges. Of course that is the basics, it took a LOT of "playing" with to get it there (I'd say it took me about 1/2 an hour to get just the square the way I wanted it <well almost> ;) ) I'm sure Raijer,the "pro", (we miss you Raijer!) could tell us a rather quick way to do it :thumbsup:

*The gradient glow is part of the Eye Candy 4000 filters

@sesn - buzz off if your'e a nuisance :lol:

Personally, I think that one is the best. :)

Almost looks as if the planet is the green one, and the cube is the moon. :goodjob:

Hi all!

Remember how I always had problems with PNG compression? Every time I make an avatar, it's posted here for fixing :(

I haven't made an avatar this time, or not yet anyway, but I would like to have one made from the attached image. It's Frenetic Efreet from MtG: there may be other images online.

Thanks for all your efforts! :)

Here's a quick and dirty resize (with unsharp mask @ 7 pixels). File size is too large for the board rules though.

Here's Stormbind from MtG. It would be nice to see something cool done with it, but I don't plan to use it.

Another quick resize that's too big for the boards. Thanks again! :)
