LOL, good one... I made a poster for the poster contest they removed it... sometimes it feels like this place kills creativity... I feel held back sometimes... Oh well, it's not my website now is it.. lol...

It WAS my fav too. Now it's been removed.Apparently it breaks a rule.
Guess my avatar space will be blank for awhile.

I know mine is not the best but I really had fun making it.
I know it's small and you can't see all the characters but besides the aliens (both illegal and ET) you also have Bush in his Ford peek-opp, Vicente Fox riding shotgun, Ugly Betty in the background and a smaller ET to the left. The guitar was added later after getting penalized for offending someone.

I myself like Interno's avatar. The layout is very clean, really well balanced and in context with many ATS topics yet not cluttered.

i downloaded you avatar i loved it, but i was shocked when i noticed it is 546kb... damn!!!

some poor people still use Dail-up it would really piss them off when site takes too much time loading the page

While it did make me giggle LOYAL hit the nail on the head, at 546kb it was far too large unfortunately.

Avatar and Signature Guidelines

Avatars:

GIF and JPEG file formats only with a maximum dimension of 160 pixels wide, by 320 pixels tall. File sizes are not to exceed 75k, and animated GIF's are allowed. (physical size can extend up to 400 pixels tall for images under 50k in file size)

The restriction can add an element of skill, it's stunning to see what some of you can squeeze in.

Jak

OK, I finally got the avatar with the background and the text color...

What do you think?

reply to post by louiekid333


awesome!!!!

i think it's perfect now... great job!!!!

JAK is one of my favorite artists....such talent and imagination expressed in his work. It's always flawless which is something I really appreciate as I try to do the same with my own work.

Mine seems to be one of those love it or hate it avatars.

Needless to say, I love it.

a guy hikix also got a nice avatar when i joined first it was the first avatar that inspired me

Does anyone REALLY need to ask who's is the best??

Thanks!

Yeah bud, I created all the images I use in my profile. Look at my member name for 10 seconds and you will see the lights turn on...same with my signature. I created about 90 avatar images that rotate every time you refresh the page. They are all in a frame and frame light I created form scratch. Just below every painting you will find the artist's name and the name of the painting so people can learn a little about fine art...maybe inspire a few to research and appriciate the masters.

To rotate images you need your own website with the proper rotation code. There are some sites that offer that service for free but I've never used any of them. Just search Google for "Image rotation" or "avatar image rotation service".
