Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

[Ankka]

Ooh, both Plexus' ones and Lyonesses ones are beautiful!

Now I have again the difficulty of choosing...

 

[Ankka]

Whatthe...??? I can't seem to find a field where I can change my custom avatar.


Edit: nevermind, I just realised that TF said he'd add that feature later back... some vB3 difference again.

I hope he does it soon, or elts we will all have to beg and prod him to bring back the Custom Avatar field.

This should be good news to you guys - Avatars are changed in CP as usual except now, editing avatars is a specific option, as can be seen below:

Messing around with grunge brushes in Photoshop. I'm kinda scared...

@Raijer- TF just added custom avatar functionality, it wasn't there a few hours ago.

Yep.. very true. That's why I called it "good news!"

 

[Plexus]

My mistake.

I also bring forward more good news. Our Avatar size limit has been increaced to 70 x 70

For what it's worth, I increased the custom avatar size limit from 65x65 to 70x70. Size limit is unchanged at 4 KB though.

 

[KaNick]

HA HA. Am I the first to upgrade to 70x70? One small step for KaNick, one small leap for CFC kind.

Edit: Nope, it seems I am the second.

Edit: Third

Nice! 70x70 avatars are always good.

 

[Plexus]

@KaNick- I see ye saw mine.

I see we are all beginning to enjoy our new 675 pixels to play with.

Mmm... 675 additional pixels... which taste distinctly like chicken...

Now if only someone would request a brand-new 70²-pixel avatar for us to create...

 

[Ankka]

Lyonesse, those are awesome, but maybe could you make some in a little lighter colors? Would fit the season better.

Hehe, I guess I am the first to upgrade to 70x70

I some body would bother, I want this picture to be shrunk and to have "Civ" or "Civilization" added as a ring inscription in elvish looking letters. Perfection is not vital.

Btw- That was not a referance to our pentegonal friend.

Ok, here's a shot... "Civilization" was a bit too long to be legible, IMHO.

 

[Souron]

Not bad.

Could you make the inscription more visible though? Perhalps by using a gold or such as per this picture. As it is the V blurs some with the BG

In the mean time, I'll use it.

Anybody else is free to try, improvements are welcome.

[cgannon64]

I know I sound like a jackass, but could someone make my avatar 70x70? (Not just stretching it, but going back to the original picture.)

I've begged for that space, I feel obliged to use it.

 

[Plexus]

Couldn't find the exact source image. Though this one has more vivid colors and contrast, eh?
