BTS : Avatar Creations

reply to post by NewAgeMan

That's both absolutely hilarious and cute at the same time.

Yeah... I'm no good at serious. I tried it once and it doesn't suit me well.

Okay not sure how this works exactly.

I've never made an animated gif before and I am not sure what is required.

I usually have a tornado as my avatar but I would like to use my own tornado images. I want it to spin. Is this possible? Can it be done with a single image or are multiple images needed...or even a video? I have all of that if it is needed.

Ok, I have a challenge for the creative and talented of ATS.

I'd quite like a completely new avatar. The challenge however is I'm not even sure how I want it to look, or what I want it to be exactly. I want one thing - something that looks pretty darn cool.

A theme surrounding some of the conspiracies I'm interested in; JFK, RFK, MLK, Monroe, Cointelpro, etc. etc. would be nice but not essential.

If someone can make a super cool avatar that I end up using, I see many applause's in your future.

I would call it cheating

If you have images taken in a fairly evenly spaced, that'll work. Or a video. However you would rather do it.

But definitely not a single image.

Thank you

Here is the video. Can someone make it into an avatar or help me to do it? Preferably starting around the 0:45 min. mark? I have no idea where to even start.

Do you have to be a member of this group to do it? I've worked a great deal with graphic arts designing webpages

If you are posting here, you are a member of the group.

I want to say a BIG THANK YOU to I'm A Marty, for letting me use this awesome avatar he/she created.


Many thanks my friend.




Some great designs on this thread too, great work guys.

Ah ya I love big furry bigfoot type critters from Texas. That is just to cool . I'm so stoked.

I don't do any fancy stuff, just images like you see on webpages.

I put all the images he mentioned into one gif and made it the size the upload page said to make it



just simple and straightfoward, unless people want something more intricate. I use "KISS" a lot, "Keep it simple stupid". It's sometimes more effective than elaborate things are.

how would you approve of me taking a whack at putting on some new shades and a new stache to go with your tears?

I have worked all week from about 8a - 1a (16-17 hour days). So tonight when I get off around 5ish, i likely will go home crash. But oh boy....when I get up.....the house will be quiet and I will mess around with photoshop (while drinking coffee).

I want you to do what ever you like BF I 'll use it and the tears can wait Just don't change that biker style and we're good my friend. I 'll use what ever you mock up. Go for it..I need to stretch it out .I switched back cause I don't want to jump the gun on you but that looks so cool.

No rush my good man no rush..

Great subject matter, JFK being a personal favourite of mine as well.

RAs avatar looks awesome. So perfect like it was made that way.
I feel the need for those tears every time I see RAs avatar.

I love John F. Kennedy and if it's okay with everyone I'd like to use this one once in awhile but I will not step on toes so if anyone objects speak now or forever hold your piece.

Mine is awesome I have my own tears.



I am so happy and I even learned something new . Very cool baby. I'm ready to run a muck again.
Thank you again my Texas friend.

That's a neat idea port.

Here's a pic with MLK and RFK together.



I'm sure someone with talent (as in not me) could shop in JFK and Marylin into the pic to make a cool avatar for you.
