Note to self: Never ask for a framegrab from someone who makes avatars.
Good job, Teral. That's a pretty clean avy.

Oops, sorry. I didn't see your post El Zilcho. Just saw Canned Eggs asking for an avatar, and then thought: hey, a crate is only straight lines, I can do that. Next time I'll post a framegrab.

Post it in the avatar thread in "Off-topic" and be sure to label it "Upload to costum!"
Drippy_taco will then upload it sometime soon. Once it's uploaded you go to your profile and select "costum avatar" and presto you're a box of canned eggs.

Exactly. Now you just have to wait for Drippy to do his magic.

Don't know how long it'll take. Drippy is the only one who know.
Mailing them isn't any faster, both kinds of avatars (emailed and thread-posted) gets uploaded at the same time. More annoying? Probably not, just redundant.
Nah, you answered the question, it's your go.

You will find that help will always be given to those at PEEL who seek it.
It is done.

This post is about avatars but unrelated to its immediate predecessors. It's a feature request. Let's say you've washed your dog and vacuumed your cat, and you're still sitting around burning up with energy and nothing to do How about displaying usage counts on the pool avatars? I tried to pick one that I liked but hadn't seen a lot, and short of grovelling over the entire board, it can't be done. Knowing how popular an avatar is would help. Regards, Dave

If you want, you can just request a custom avatar here, and myself or another avatar maker will make it for you. Then, as aslate said, you can say "Upload to custom" and no one else will be able to use your avatar.

You make a good point, (and you sound like a business man), but usually if you pick an avy that someone else picked, they'll point it out. Also I'm not sure if mArc can even add that feature to the message board.

Me, a businessman? I'm an engineer, though. [Bones]I know engineers, they love to change things.[/Bones] I know it would take some work. That's why I set the priority at "wash your dog first".

Avatar Rules: Avy must be 64 x 64 pixels. It cannot be animated. The background should be transparent. If you want to have a custom avy (i.e. non-Futurama), go to this thread, post the pic, and say upload to custom. Gottit?

Also, there's a maximum size of 3.4 KB and as a general rule the avatar has to be faced towards the post.

Ah, El Zilcho you lazy bum, you. The article from CGEF can be found here. It's designed for Illustrator, but you can use the same basic technique in Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. The Fry Hole also has a tutorial for Paint Shop Pro here. The first tutorial uses bezier curves for tracing while the latter one use a free-hand approach. I prefer bezier curves, but for avatars it doesn't matter much which method you use.
