BTS : Avatar Creations 2014

You've put the avatar in both the space and the background.

If you've saved the invisible pic (don't worry it's there) in the post above, all you need to do is upload it and set it as your avatar or the little man icon. It should fix the image.

a reply to: 74Templar

Okay. I erased both from the profile and used the icon to set it as the avatar and......

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

At the moment you've got the image in the avatar slot. It needs to go into the background slot, which is the small window icon at the top of the page to the right of the use as avatar icon (the small man).





Between the lines here is the invisible image that needs to go in the avatar slot where Augie currently is.

Just save the space between the lines, and upload it to your pics just like any other picture file. Click on the image, and select the little man icon to the left of the window . Then click on the pic of Augie and select the window icon to set it as a background.

I try to think of it as the avatar being a piece of clear glass with the background as the painting you're supposed to see, if that makes any sense.

As Borat says, 'Great success!'.

a reply to: dollukka

Thanks for yours as well. I'll mix it in leading up to Halloween.

Thanks for your help everyone. I'll be back for a thanksgiving and Xmas avatar next month.

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

There you are!

Lookin' good son.

If you want to drop the original Augie here one day soon, so it can be resized the same. Then all you gotta do is swap the backgrounds out after Halloween.

Codes Codes Codes....

Halloween avatar as a challenge for you?

Thinking beebs all hallows eve or something to that effect just for a larf.

Go your hardest, I'll wear it till the end of the month.

I tried every which way to get a horse in there, but due to size proportions and the like, it either took too much of the scene away, or just looked totally out of place.

So I applied an age-old artist's rule. Less is more.

This was a second one I found I thought was bloody awesome. Just a basic resize from the image, although I think it may scrape T&C. Technically she's not topless, but this was way too cool not to post anyway.

You're right Temp me old mate that is a stunner of mega proportions.

As for this

It was late and you were very tired, possibly even drunk

So in the spirit of fair play I'll give you one chance to retract it, otherwise it could well be Bieber all the way
I must remember to work on Timely's sig strip as well. So have your morning coffee and think hard about what you wrote LOL

Heard my name !
Dun, dun . Dunno guys ?

You playing nice?

Meh ! Have at it ... moar fun !! lol !

Especially with the pumpkin thing ... No disrespect, but here in Oz - we have kids doing the Halloween thing ...

I ask them what it means ... then I just give them the treats and shake my head - whilst feigning a smile .

It is akin to Americans getting caught up in the Darwin beer can regatta !

Or the dance of the flaming ... anyhow. Bunyips !

Unless there is meaning behind the design, i think our masonic friend would benefit from someone on our team doing him up with a background image that doesn't fiddle with the text on the profile.

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

Here you go, I needed the practice anyway

ETA: Moved the ATS up a bit to avoid the stats box

Ready for the new comp mate ?

Cody

Thanks

Oh yeah, I'm ready
Got 1 done maybe 2....going to enter early since our work hours the next couple of weeks will be more and not sure when I'll be able to play again. LOL

Anxious to see everyone's entry's

a reply to: snarky412

Right with you there snarky, my boss is pushing hard as well, the company is running literally 24-7. Two shifts of 12 hours on the front line and 3 of of 8 on the benches. There's gonna be an accident soon, I just hope it isn't too bad.

I'm tempted to enter the one I knocked up for BFFT's approval or not as the case may be.

Just gonna pop over see what you've put up mate

Cody

a reply to: bigfatfurrytexan

I did see that, but only after the av was uploaded. By then I could barely see straight, much less tinker with the av any more.

Looks like Cody managed to get it looking just right while I was out to it.
