Don't you have a higher resolution version of that picture? It's very hard to make it not look crappy when the original picture is so tiny.

[Reply #522 on:]

Alright, I'll work on it. And just say "No, needs to be a bit more different" rather than what everyone else does and complains.
Edit: OK, This was really difficult, so try be sencitive

If you're happy with a GIF, take this, if not, bad luck ;-)

* There are some ways to implement quasi-transparency in JPEGs, but that's not standardised. You could use JPEG 2000, but there's no real support amog web browsers for that format

Thanks for pointing out that GIFs are transparent and JPEGs aren't. Problem is whenever I try to put the image you linked to into my sig, as [img ] [/ img], it doesn't work. Then, when I try uploading it to the sig database thing, I can't do it because my computer saves it as a .bmp only and you can't load a BMP to the sig database thing.


For the Trogdor avatar, I found a larger image of that by using Google:

I think people can work with that better.

[Reply #524 on:]

oh yes, that indeed works better:

[Reply #525 on:]

yea can you upload it here?

i don't know how to move it.

[Reply #526 on:]

It's uploaded.

[Reply #527 on:]

I can't see it

[Reply #528 on:]

You have to check your profile and select "Custom Avatar". Maybe you'll also have to clear your browser's cache, that's ctrl-F5 on IE and Firefox.

Also, I'm crazy and posting random pictures without Raisin:

Huzzah! It works. Thanks moeder.

[Reply #531 on:]

I would love it if someone could make this avvy less simpsons-yellow and more human-coloured?

[Reply #532 on:]

I think that was the easiest avatar i've ever done. Once i realised you pinken it on the origional. Sorry if its not how you wanted it.

[Reply #533 on:]

I made one too:

[Reply #534 on:]

dr.bender: Unfortunately all your avvys are really pixelly... can you notice that? The quality isn't up to scratch, sorry.

GFF: Thanks  Can you actually crop it to more of just of the head? Maybe less pink skin tone...
It's good so far 
 

[Reply #535 on:]

sure I can. Redid that whole thing with the skin tone they gave Fry and made some closeups:

[Reply #536 on:]

Its ok, i'm still trying to get used to it.

[Reply #538 on:]

Dr.bend nye i think you doin real good keep practicin!!

[Reply #539 on:]

dev, say the name right, its dr.bender nye. I gotta try change it to Dr_Indigo, it just sounds...
Anyway, thank you for the positivity.
GFF, Do you use GIMP, Photoshop or something?

[Reply #540 on:]

Nye, do you use trace your images before you resize them? That may be one of the problems. Also, one can't get their username changed. You get what you registered as.

[Reply #543 on:]

can someone do this one of stewie please.




cheers

[Reply #544 on:]

Nicky boy, I personally can't do avatars because I don't have a program that will do transparency. But I can help you. The image you posted isn't very good resolution and kind of small. Those things aren't good when somebody's trying to make an avatar. I searched Google and I found a better image.


Also, defdev, did you search through the thread? It might still be there.

[Reply #545 on:]

defdev, your avatar is in page two of Avatar Uploads-This Month I'd Like A Blue One

I use GIMP, i'll help:

1. Save the image as a .gif (e.g: FuturamaCover1.gif) in order to get transparent imagry.
2. Open image in gimp. Right click> Layer> Transparency> Add Alpha Channel.
Then use the rubber/eraser to erase bits you dont want.
The result must be like this:

resize the image, highest number to 64, open blank gimp page, 64x64 and c+p.

[Reply #552 on:]

Thank alot dr. bender nye im gonna start makin avatars

[edit] i put it on alpha but when i erase its still white and how does gff make my avatar look newer

No problem, good luck with the avatars.

[Reply #554 on:]

Here's the correct steps, if I recall correctly:
1. Erase backround. When I say this, I mean COMPLETELY erase the backround. What Dr. Bender Nye showed above is incomplete and gives the rough edges look when resized.
2. Trace image. (I believe you still do this, GFF. I remember when I did avatars that this was a step in doing them.) This means recoloring borders, coloring areas that don't look right, etc. It makes it look fresher after you...
3. Resize the image. Make the larger dimension 64 pixels, then resize the palette to 64x64, and center image.

I was busy making another Avatar, rushing for time.

cheers GFF and DBN

[Reply #557 on:]

Cancel that.  I found something else that'll work better.  Sorry.

[Reply #558 on:]

Ha ha thats funny!!

By the way is this a good enough size or a little smaller because i might change my avatar

[Reply #559 on:]

Stop making Michael Myers avatars.  I really hate that guy, and live with the avatar u have!
