Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

[Lyonesse]

Since Plexus did the bigger version of your avatar , I went another direction.

Hopefully the borders of these are the right color.... And I, personally, would set you background color to black and center these...

Thanks a lot guys, I love them!!!

Plexus, could you possibly shrink the bars to half the width or so?

Lyonesse, I like them a lot!!! I will be sure to use them sometime, but they are not exactly what I was thinking of. Very nice, though.

 

[Gogf]

They both look great. I am still having photoshop evny . Well, I should have it installed on my new computer soon .

 

[Lyonesse]

LOL Gogf, I know just what you're going through. Photoshop withdrawl is one of the worst things out there!!! Hope you make it back SOON!

Hang in there

Is this thread still going?


I'd like something new... not that the current avatar is bad, but I'd like to see what you can do.


I don't really care about what it is... although a duck or something could be cool... other stuff goes also, if it looks good.

 

[Lyonesse]

Yep, most of us are still around

Thought I'd do some of my favorite duck for you. Not sure if you'll like him, but I think he's pretty "cool"

Those look just like the ones from a cartoon in TV that was coming on sundays from channel 3 here in Finland...

 

[Ankka]

Oh, but to the pics... they look good, but aren't just like what I would like... those in the middle of the upper row are a bit lamely coloured...

And I think someone had an almost same one than the one sitting on the bench and looking to the right...

Thanks, I'll think about it... but gimme some more to choose from...

 

[Ankka]

Hmm.. is it just me, or have you changed the aspects of some of the pic's to fit 65x65? I think they'd look better in normal aspect...


I hope I'm not insulting you, I'm just trying to tell what would IMHO be better.

Yep, that would be Bill the duck from "Sitting Ducks"

Colors can usually be changed fairly easy.

Not sure that I've seen any "Bill the Duck" avatars out there, but then there are a LOT of avatars!

No, you aren't insulting me! No worries!

Yes, they were set to 65x65 when sticking with the ratio they turned out WAY too small (could barely make out some of the details)

Thanks, I'll think about it... but gimme some more to choose from...

A few more details would be nice What you like? Don't like? etc.

 

[Ankka]

Hmm... No, I don't think it was Bill, but it was something very close.


Well, I don't know... how about a drawing?

 

[Lyonesse]

Okay, so I was outside, looked in my pool...and found some "inspiratain" LMAO....okay so it was the duck in my pool (it holds the chlorine tablets)...so...how about some cool ducks?

 

[h4ppy]

Could someone make my current avatar (the unit) more pimplike. Also if possible try to include an "urban" backround. My only specification is that it has to look "pretty."

 

[h4ppy]

It also might have to be rescaled, since it is a Civ avatar.

 

[Ankka]

Not bad, Lyonesse, but not just.


Maybe a drawn duck...?

 

[Ankka]

Or then something that's not a duck.


But, I liked those Bill ones he best so far.

 

[homeyg]

Hi! Could somebody make an Avatar for me? I want one side to be this picture-

kind of like a split screen deal... And I want the other half to be this picture-

For the Communism symbol, cut out a square around it and put it next to the US flag (cut some of the US flag off).

Thanks in advance-

 

[Plexus]

Not sure I'd be comfortable doing an American/Soviet combination avatar...

 

[homeyg]

And why not? I've noticed at least three people with the Soviet symbol in their avatar. I'm not a Communist if that's what your thinking- I'm only 13 years old!
