BTS : Avatar Creations

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan



Upon review, i uploaded the wrong image. Not a big difference....but the below was what was intended to produce:

Here's a few animated avatars I've been working on: (Feel free to use!)

Walking Dino: (5.3kb, 8 frames total, 6 second pause, 170x240)



Falling Meteorite: (7.4kb, 11 frames total, 5 second pause, 170x240)



Flying Dragon: (9.8kb, 10 frames total, 6 second pause, 170x240)



Enjoy!

Thanks for the compliment, however I have to give Druid42 all the joy, as he sized the background and created the wonderful lizard. You have had your share of computer issues lately, is frustrating, I know, but hey, thanks to Agarta, you look stunning!

Hi everyone, I do have a request for anyone who would have the time and interest to do so...

Thing is, I love this Sirius avatar and really don't feel like changing it but I find it could need a little perk...maybe a strand of hair moving or something along those lines...

Avatar with ATS logo:



And without:




With all the creative folks in here, I'm sure someone could come up with something neat.

Thanks a million !!!

I won't be able to start on something til later today, but I've just upgraded to Gimp 2.8.4, and looking to put it though the paces.

It'll be an animated transparent avatar, that you can pop in and out of the avatar spot.

How the hell did you do that?
Much respect

Me and my girl had a play around to try and do the exact same thing and got absolutely nowhere.
I love it and really appreciate the effort but went with this one as you can still tell its my kitty.
Ive uploaded urs and will use it down the track.

Cheers again mate

I couldn't get the strand of hair to look very natural.However, I made a subtle glare that occurs every 5 seconds.



You can slap it right into your avatar space to see what it looks like. It should blend in perfectly with your current background.

Decided to work up a "Worlds Most Interesting Gorilla" type of background, which I am going to use for now:



and for the signature, I decided to move away from the rectangle, and go with a more free form shape:

First step: select the head, but exclude the ears. Then ust shift the hue to more of a red color, with a deeper saturation

Second step: extract the black marks/horns one at a time, and then place them using the warp feature.

Tinker with them all until it gets to where you want.

When it is raining, it is because he is thinking of something sad

He is... the world's most interesting Gorilla.

That is so sweet. Reeeaaaalllly sweet.

Remember kinglizard's rounded theme?

Make that into Wolf heads, instead of Skeleton heads, and chop it up into three equal parts.

OOOLALA!

Make my three forums embedded into those three parts somehow. Keep that continuous border. Keep the theme as is, a bit dark. Bingo!

Very Nice Work, bfft. Kudos.

The box is made from scratch. There isn't something that works like that in photoshop without having to manipulate squares, do some duplicating/merging, etc. But I like the effect the slightly off kilter lines give.

Nice !!

Now he looks tired...like me !!!

That choice of avatar is sooooo me... It looks awesome Zarniwoop, thank you so much !!!

ETA: Do you think you could make another one having his right eye blink?

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


Very nice, bfft!

(Kind of contrasting and slightly dark, rather colorless, but very very eye catching.)

Imma think I'll use this set for a awhile, even though I love the colors in the other set.

Thanks!

It "looks" like Zarn's got you covered. I might play around with the hair technique later.

Nice subtle effect, sots.

I believe i have an idea on an avatar.

why do we have blocked edges? I know that it has to center itself, etc....but if your image spans the entire 180 pixels, the entire image doesn't have to be full of something.

I hate getting a brain fart at the beginning of the week. I won't get to do much on it until the weekend. On the upside, i get the joys that can only come from working 80 hours a week!
