BTS : Avatar Creations

I think this is a very pleasant image, it is put together well.

What do you mean 'too picky'? It's your artwork!

One trick for making several versions of an image (say, if you can't decide which one is "better") is to add a new layer for each new element or color and then hide/unhide the layer to preview how changes will affect the art. It helps to give perspective on the piece as a whole.

You seem to be progressing quickly, and you have some refreshing ideas.

I am just so frustrated now, I can't save the avatars you did for me. I do not understand, and hubby does not want to help me...so I am s.o.l. I guess I will have to wait til I can get on another laptop. This one I am on is old, and it is hubbys work laptop, they took his other laptop to upgrade or something...
I just wanted that blue eyed cat. I am being impatient right now. And not feeling well, and yeah. sorry...I didnt mean to make this a pity party..I guess I could use some cheese for my whining....

I really like this image. If it cannot be sized right, I like the cat and the moon, I would love the moon to be purple...
or not purple...meh

I do like that idea. Kind of a full background stage with hitler doing the Angus back and forth across the stage.

I spent some time today trying to separate Banjo Führer's body from the background and add Angus legs, but it just took way too long and didn't come out that great. This idea can be done, but it might take a long time... for me at least.

Concept would be something like this with head-a-bobbin' and legs moving going back and forth against a stage background.

It might need some color/something on the lower half as well.

I agree. Somewhere other than the sleeve.

I am just on lunch break. This evening I will give you another go with the name elsewhere. I have an idea that I think you will like.

Hey dude thats Awesome!! If we could just find a place for the txt maybe under or on top of the sun like an ats stamp would be prominent but still sorta subtle. try to shade it in to match the picture but still readable you know. Idk play with it.

reply to post by Zarniwoop


See! I told you Hitler and Angus were a great match!

It's hilarious just the way it is!

good job

As a matter of fact I might would think a transparent ATS stamp on the sun and then no QC64 txt. Idk You'll think of something.

if you have the individual frames separated, upload them. I will pitch in and help trim out some hitlers.

reply to post by sheepslayer247


OK cool. Just wanted to make sure you liked the concept before going further.

We'll chip something out in the next couple of days.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


That's the only one I have so far. But once I get the base model down, the other frames should be easier. I can twiddle with it some tomorrow.

I could use some help on a stage/background for him to Angus back and forth across, though.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


Thanks man those are awesome I will most likely use them. Just got this one so I don't suppose I will switch in haste. Your work is appreciated!

reply to post by Zarniwoop



Here is a stage. If it is something that'll work, we can fine tune the color/pitch/etc once you have your gif ready.

Hey, you guys are some talented people! Thanks for doing what you do.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


Perfect!

reply to post by Zarniwoop


What if you made a spotlight that shines down and follows him around?

reply to post by QuantumCounterfeit64


i could make a strobing ATS symbol. It would be easier to do, I think.

Beebs....if you want me to just let me know. Don't know how deep you want to go on this.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


The problem is that it all has to fit nicely into a 75K avi. I'll need to do Banjo-Angus-Hitler-Ani in a series of transparent gifs to dance about the stage and I think that, by itself might take up the space requirement.

Let me crank out a first cut tomorrow and see where we land.

(good ideas though)

Beebs....
