[Lyonesse]

Something with flames or fire etc.

Be creative

Okay, only had about an hour to "mess around" this morning...so here's what I have to far

WildFire:

Here are a few using pictures from the internet:

Had to remove some colouring to get them under 4KB in .PNG, look pretty much the same as the non-optimized JPGs though, didn't change much...

Tell me if you want the JPG versions...

I stuck with a Pheonix theme

Thanks but I like lyonesse's more

Really like the last two!

Could you make the last one 120x100 too?

 

[Gogf]

I made it 100 x 120 for you, but because I blew up the small one, if Lyoness can scale down the original again, it would probably look better.

 

[WildFire]

Too fuzzy

Plus, its 100 x 120 not 120 x 100 like picky me asked

Nice work on my new avat, V.

 

[WildFire]

Thank you Lyonesse!

See you in 5 months

 

[Archer 007]

Or next week,

 

[Gogf]

My question is did V do that just by editing the pallet?

 

[stormbind]

Gogf, check out hue adjustment or gamma correction.

With the earlier 120x100 blurred effect, check out unsharp mask which is a photographic filter for bringing out detail. As demonstrated..

could someone make me an avatar of the cover art for the "Tommy" album by "the WHO"

Nice job V, but why post them as PNGs?

Why does it matter? Some people post JPGs, some post GIFs, and some post PNGs. I'm one who is rather inconsistent in the file types I post.

 

[stormbind]

Not without a picture. I found this...

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B000002OZY/102-9514541-5670568?v=glance

As ussual with all my PNG images, the file is oversized...

 

[Vancouver 2010]

Which is why there's me.

(Here is an active example of my inconsistent file types, Gogf.)

Actually I already had a layered PNG image of Archer's av from when he asked for a twist in it ... and I inserted one. All I did was remove the twist and inserted a gradient.

 

[Lyonesse]

This one is a bit brighter I think..... of course it could just be my monitor again LOL

I like the sharper image on the left! Great job and thanks! That will be perfect

No, it is birghter .

 

[America444]

[cgannon64]

Can someone make me an avatar from this?

Just a head and shoulders shot of the man, maybe include the Jean-Luc if you're so inclined.

EDIT: Oh and Lyonesse...what does A Bout de Souffle mean?
