Hey dear Cody,

Mura is right. I like the second one better too.
Very imaginative.

Will hopefully have enough time tonight to work on something.
Will pop back in later.

Have a nice day ladies and gents.

Here you go Sremmos.


Read the guide lines. (On this thread's first page.)
I think you need to put a background on first, then this image.
I'm not an expert on animated, so if you are not sure please ask the other folks here.

You may have to check the file size. I think animated gifs can only be 75kbs but not too sure.

It also needs to be resized to 170x240 otherwise it won't fit in the space.

I'll have a look tomorrow at resizing it if no one has a crack overnight.

Not a good night for me. Getting over a major flu, a cracked rib and now my beloved Queensland Maroons have lost to New South Wales in the second game of State Of Origin...

(For those of you who have no clue what I'm rambling about, I'm talking about rugby, and the clash between two states. Queensland always win, and now they've lost for the first time in 8 years... Grrr... )

Pffft. Off to bed....

Hello Templar
((((waves))))
Thanks for taking it over.
It took me so long to find the image, but alas I have no clue how to handle .gifs.

I will leave this image in your able hands then.
*Ceremoniously hands over Will Ferrel's shouting gif.*

Ps: I'm sorry to hear about your cold.
Get well soon.
Lots of rest and water.

a reply to: 74Templar

Too many expressions for frames to be skipped.. two frames removed and reduced colors to 65 ( from 256 ) not very pretty haha

your turn

Many thanks Mura and RR.

I'm still learning here, but loving every minute of it

Anybody game for a Jackie moon from the movie semipro everybody love everybody themed avatar?
I especially like the scene where he is on the bus and turns and yells it at everyone.
Not looking for anything animated but if you want then I am all for it.

Here's one idea,

Just a mash up of googled stuff

Sharpened up a bit with grain effect

Yeah mine aint much better.

Might have to do something non animated....

a reply to: Sremmos80

Well, here's my effort...

This...


Plus this together:


And hopefully they should fit and be within the size guidelines.

First one goes in the avatar space, second in the background space.

a reply to: 74Templar

Lol mine looks like he is saying F word and yours is crying for help...
Anyway.. i kinda like the creepy attitude in yours )

a reply to: dollukka

I'm still not real happy with it, but I docked three frames, and resized smaller than the original 170x240. I managed to keep it at 127 colours instead of 63 like the original and it still pipped in at 89kb. Combined with the background size which is only 40kb it still comes in under the allowed total, if only just.

Even the full one just looks like he's mouthing profanities lol...

I've never been a huge fan of Will Ferrel, (can I say that aloud??) so it's a bit hard to get excited.

*Waits for the inevitable lynching....*

I still love them all! It gets the point across.
NM, figured it out, rather simple conclusion lol

a reply to: Sremmos80



Try putting this one into the background space, it should be a better fit.

Forgot to account for the avatar not being full sized...

*Waits for the inevitable lynching....*

Not happening from me, I'm not a fan either Templar. I'll be hanging out with the unpopular kids in the corner.

I'm not a big fan of Will Ferrel either. His humor comes across as forced.
I like Adam Sandler and good old Billy Crystal.

Just because

There are gems every now and then

a reply to: dollukka

So true!
During the whole movie I was like WTH is going on?
But it did make me laugh, so....

a reply to: Rainbowresidue

As long as we're having a laugh



One eye on ATS, one on my sons texts, and one on the England game

I have comedy central channel , and I LOVE him!!!

I watch it every weekend, he is so funny. He doesn't make stuff up, he works with what he's got , the wife, the kids....my favorite episode was when he was talking about the 'man drawer'.
And his voice is funny too. Or just British, I dunno, but funny. I think he makes his voice sound like that on purpose though. I've worked with many British people throughout the years, but none of them sounded like him.

He also never stops moving. Always walking up and down the stage.
