BTS: Avatar Creations...the Original

A place where the ATS artists and the avatar-challenged can continue to meet and share info to create that "perfect" avatar.....the new thread dedicated to requests for avatars and those who are willing to help create them.

Pixel Space: The new "visible" space for background images is 198 pixels wide and 420-480 pixels tall depending on other factors in your mini-profile and what type of computer is being used to view the site (example: tablet vs. PC).

Based on this, the recommended size for the most common member profile (1 line or no custom title) is 200 X 1600. If a two-line custom title is used, the recommended size is 200X1600


Also, please review the Rules for Avatars and Mini-Profile Backgrounds and Terms and Conditions
and

ATS Avatars should be no larger than 170 pixels wide by 240 pixels tall, with a maximum file size of 75kb.

ATS Signature Images should be no larger than 600 pixels wide by 70 pixels tall, with a maximum file size of 50kb.

The posting of any image that violates the ATS Terms & Conditions will result in an immediate account termination.

What Helps the Avatar Creator

If you have an image you would like please post it and let us know what you are looking for.

Do you have a basic idea of what you want?

Do you want it Masculine, Feminine, or Neutral in nature?

Do you have a color base you would like it to be?

Are you looking for an Avatar, Background, Signature or combinations of them?

reply to post by Agarta, from the old thread


The following are step by step directions on how to set your new Avatar, Background, and/or Signature image. There are glitches that occur if some things are done out of order and you have not had an Avatar set already.

Avatar and Background

Between these lines is a transparent Avatar. If you are using a new background, highlight it and click to save to your computer.




or copy the following code: h ttp://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/ut4e7bd94d.gif

At the top of the main page, click on the small arrow (highlighted below) to reveal a drop down menu.


Select ‘upload’ (shown above) and it will go to this page;

You now need to upload your invisible gif to the site. Click the upload feature in the top left of the page to bring up this window;

Click on select files, and select the image from your computer.

IMPORTANT: To get the image to upload, you must then click the upload icon to activate it.



Once you have activated it, the picture will upload below the icon, and say 100% when it is finished. The images box will then close.

Locate and click on the invisible avatar picture. It should be at the top left, as it will be your newest upload. Then click on the small man icon as shown below to set it as your avatar.



Alternatively, if you wish to use the invisible gif code already posted, simply select the same drop down bar and select ‘account’ to the left (shown below). Then copy and paste the code into the ‘your avatar’ space as shown. Remember to remove the space between the h and the t at the beginning or the code will not work.



Now you need to place your background. Select and upload the image of your choosing by following the same steps above for avatar pictures above. Bring up the toolbar from the drop down arrow, and select ‘upload.’
Select the file from your computer, and then click on the cloud icon to begin the upload.
Once this is finished, click on the newly uploaded picture and select the small window icon (shown below) to set the image as your background.



You should now have a full length background with an invisible window in front.

I want to be first so I can garner hundreds of stars!!!

I am only teasing.

I just wanted to thank everyone that participates in this thread and those that came before it. You help all of us make and leave our own "marks" with every post a ton of us make here on ATS. You give those of us with little to no creativity (computer wise) a way to still creatively express ourselves, our moods, and what we may or may not stand for.

So kudos to you all and thanks again!!

Happy New Year, Cody. To another year of our little band of misfits (and any new misfits that want to join the band) doing amazing (and not so amazing, depending on the beers consumed) artwork for the ATS community.

To the rest of you hooligans....i like all of you, too. LOL

Sremmos...im still working in on your ice/fire dragon dealio in between life....ill try to post it before Zarni gets done with that avy for Zazz.

And DTOM: thank you so much for paying the rent on our little secret hideout. Its kind of you to keep the lights on

You earn the colour

It takes time, patience and quality posting .........................

Cody

Cheers guys

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

No problem, BFFT!!!!

This part of ATS/BTS is just about my favorite place to be....
Lots of happiness, friendship and talent......

AND

Deep breath and back to normal.........ish. Hope you all had a great break, mine was amazing apart from the scum that stole the package I wasn't even expecting. The idiot couriers left it outside my door instead of with a neighbour.

What's worse is the delivery guy ripped off the tracking number so finding out who sent it is turning into a nightmare.

I can only hope that whoever stole it, needed what was there and had a better Christmas for it. At least then someone got a smile that maybe wouldn't have been otherwise.

Glad to be back

Cody

Anyone up for making me a Star Wars-themed avatar? I was thinking Augustus with a Kylo Ren or stormtrooper mask and maybe holding a light saber.

I'd love a Harley Quinn avatar if anybody else is a fan? i'd usually go classic or New 52 but seeing as she's getting her big screen debut this year, then I'm in support of Margot Robbie portraying her (my current avatar).

Wow guys...we've gotten busy.

Nice.

Im still working on something for Sremmos....but if no one else is available when I am done Ill swing back through and get something presented.
