Avatars by Mechanic 32......

Is it considered bad form to change constantly?

Hope not, I change mine very frequently. Sometimes several times within the course of a single day.

Is there an etiquette guide to avatars?

As long as they are in good taste and don't break any rules they should be fine.

As for how many of mine you take, I just ask that you be reasonable.

Of course, you can use as many as you like, as long as it is one at a time.

The avatars on this page can be customized on request. Many of the avatars on previous pages are being used by other members. So please if you would like to use one, ask first.

Do you have an avatar request? Just post here! If you have a specific picture in mind to use as an avatar, post the picture or the url to the picture as well.

If you have any special request, don't hesitate to ask. Let me know also if you would like your screen name on your avatar as well, including font type, color, etc.

To upload

Right click on it, and select Save As...
Then save to a location that you pick, on your hard drive. Perhaps make a folder called "Avatars" in "My Pictures".
Now when you want to upload them for usage, either use the ATS upload area in Member Center, or use a third party image hosting site.
I primarily use Photobucket, www.photobucket.com...
Also there is Imageshack, www.imageshack.com...
Both of them offer free image hosting.








































A bit of rework on my M&M avatar

Thanks, semperfortis. Even though I don't think I'm that good.

A new version of the Kool-Aid guy...

Hello again,

Is there any way that you could help me change some colors on an avatar that I found? The pic can be found at:

files.abovetopsecret.com...

I would like the eyes blue, lips pink or pinkish red, the butterfly (? not sure, yellow & brown), and the tatoo on her arm to read Southern Gal (in black script, that may be too hard to do, initials perhaps?)

I thought about asking for the hair to be colored blonde, but again I'm not sure.

I read one post where someone offered the artist to place his/her name on the avatar giving credit, I'd like to do the same.

Look forward to hearing from you, thanks so much!

Sure can!

I can start on it a bit later today!

Thanks so much, Mechanic. Please don't rush. Whenever you can find the time. I am more than grateful. *smile*

Actually I'm about 70% finished with it already.

You will probably have your avatar before you know it!
