Avatar Shop Vista - Now with 75% more Transparency!

[Reply #240 on:]

Ok I have find a well better picture of She Ra if you like to try?

[Reply #241 on:]

My original thought was to have him hold the staff in just the one hand and for it to be reasonably vertical. I should have been clearer about that.

(And the hand reference was to do with your healing/sleep-inducing hands)

I wear gloves sometimes.
And I kinda liked him holding it in both hands because it looks like he takes alot of pride Shepard...ing. But whatever you say, oh great one.

Juli, I'll try and get on it ASAP, but it's just past midnight here, so I'll try my best unless you can wait a little longer or someone else do it. and also, if its full body you want, it might not show up so well if I do it

[Reply #242 on:]

All your efforts are appreciated and loved by this shepherd. I'll gladly use what you've created - it's excellent - I guess I just want to see how it works with a slight tweek. But a slight tweek for me is probably a pain in the arse for you.

Anyhoo, I'm going to sleep so I suggest you don't pander to my whims and go to bed safe in the knowledge that at least one PEELer still thinks you're a genius.

[Reply #243 on:]

I try it myself and this is what I come up with. it's really good but it not transparent which I thought it would be. also going to credit the person who done this brill she ra picture.

Thanks for making the job easier, Juli.
I tried my best, I was busy with storyboards so I was doing it slightly quick, but I hope its ok:


Sharky, I've finished your one. I'm hoping you'll be ok with this because I've gotta work on my storyboards asap.

[Reply #245 on:]

sorry dr bender but I like the one without the black outline

[Reply #246 on:]

You going to hate me now, Dr. but having slept on it, I think you got it right first time.

[Reply #247 on:]

Unfortunately I couldn't allow either just yet due to quality standards.  That Guy has rough edges, and the cane is rough all around.  I really do suggest saving the image as a png in GIMP, getting Irfanview, resizing it in that, and saving as .gif (it'll do the transparency thing when you save it).

The first shera would work... but it has stuff in the background and it's not transparent.  Juliet, try filling the entire background with a color (try a grey colour between PEEL white and PEEL grey) and then using irfanview, or send it to me.  The outline version won't work though dr.bendernye for the same reasons; too rough.

I'm not trying to be hippocritical or mean, just trying to let you guys know how things are, and I certainly appreciate the people working on avatars in this thread; I love seeing people happy with new avatars.

I'm sorry, i was busy with other things and I was hoping these would be OK and that they wouldn't take long.
First thoughts are not always right.

[Reply #249 on:]

Here juliet, I made it transparent for you



edit- I made 2 for shepherd

[Reply #250 on:]

I prefer the bigger one. That was very nice (and quick) work, Tricky.

Many thanks.

[Reply #251 on:]

Aww thank you so very much Trickster

[Reply #252 on:]

Juliet use this one...



In my other one there is some random gray

[Reply #253 on:]

ok thanks

[Reply #254 on:]

Your powers strike awe and amazement in those around you tricky.

[Reply #255 on:]

Testing my adjustment.



It sucks. Wont stop me trying though.

[Reply #256 on:]

I don't think there were any sharks pictured in Futurama....  there was the mention of that shark that had Hitler's brain in it, but as stated, I don't believe it was ever pictured.

What you might try doing is asking Trickster for the larger image of the avatar (assuming he has it), crop jabberjaw into the background, at about neck level with That Guy and then resizing and avatarizing it yourself.

[Reply #257 on:]

I understood everything except "jabberjaw".

[Reply #258 on:]

jabberjaw is a cartoon shark from the cartoon show entitled Jabberjaw.  It was a Scooby-Doo clone in the late 60s, early 70s (if I recall correctly) about a band of teenagers (who were in a band) with a Shark as their companion (he played drums) who solved mysteries under the sea.

[Reply #259 on:]

Sounds excellent. Time to look for videos on youtube - screw my avatar (for now).

[Reply #260 on:]

Here you go   



What the???? DAMN YOU PEEL AND YOUR IMAGE RESIZING!

[Reply #261 on:]

Your avatar actually looks good Sharkster.  I'm not sure what program you're working in, but whenever you go to transparentize, try making the background color a light shade of white (between peel white and peel grey) before you resize.  I suggest making a new layer, making what trickster posted transparent, import it in, and throw jabberjaw on a layer below that.

If you decide to use irfanview (for resizing, transparenting, and saving), go into one of the options and make sure it doesn't dither before you resize; then save it with the transparency color.

[Reply #262 on:]

I got GIMP and Irfanview in the last 36 hours and I'm testing the waters with both. My first attempt was something of a tyro's effort but hopefully with the bigger image (thanks once again, Tricky) I will improve.

I also have a desire to make a few random ones, maybe Xmas-y (cause I might just have figured it out by Dec 25th)

[Reply #263 on:]

Bit rough, but it is my first attempt from scratch. Must figure this out.

Second try.



Next


I'm enjoying this 

[Reply #264 on:]

Sos I think that I'm going to sleal this one to make my avy since I know that you made it specially for me. Thankies *huggle*

[Reply #265 on:]

As long as it's up to scratch, help yourself.

And you're welcome.

[Reply #266 on:]

It's fine to me. Well my avy has been changer thanks SoS

[Reply #267 on:]

This is very satisfying. 

[Reply #268 on:]

Nice icon Bender's Fan

[Reply #269 on:]

Hey is this a good avatar of Leela and her shock collar?

If it is I'd like to use it.

[Reply #270 on:]

Yes it is.  It'd look nice.

[Reply #271 on:]

Thanks!

[Reply #272 on:]

Here are two avatars from Bender's Game. I have one with Bender with the pot on his head, but I need fix it. (Thanks to mrpmpfan for the screenshots.)



Hmm...Fry looks a little blurry but I think my avy looks like that and I like how that looks.
Maybe I'll try fixing that one, too, just to see if I could make it better.

[Reply #273 on:]

Yes. Very satisfying.

[Reply #274 on:]

I like it.

*Stares at avy wondering if the shark is floating or if SoS is underwater...*

*Days later I give up and just accept that it is just an avatar*

[Reply #275 on:]

My new avy seems a bit blurred compared to the original (only when it's uploaded though). Any ideas how I can avoid that?

[Reply #276 on:]

This is very satisfying. 

I spent 15 minutes on Toadberg before I realised somebody had beaten me to it.

Nice work.

Anyways, I've given these to winna for the pool, but I might rescind that and keep the full-view for myself.

[Reply #277 on:]

I'm not sure why that looks fuzzy Shep.... The colors are lighter too.  I suggest editing the original (assuming you have it), adding the shark, etc. and then resizing, cropping from there.  If you did that.... again I'm not sure.

* winna pimps out irfanview again.

It looks nice though.  Your avatars look cool btw tnuk; unfortunately, I can't upload anything to the pool.

[Reply #278 on:]

I think I got it now (after many attempts)

[Reply #279 on:]

Yeah, it looks good SOS.
