Can you make them kind of you know go back and forth. but slowly so it doesnt hurt the eyes.
TooFarGone
No sorry. Im not that great with moving things yet. PM sumone else
Universal Absurdity
I'll see what i can do with it chris thumbsup.gif

Edit- The only way i could do it -without hurting the eyes- is too large
I'll put a copy here for you, since its 382kb, you cant use it as your sig.
The limit on sig filesize is 50kb, and unfortunately each frame (in GIF format) is around 40kb, and theres nothing i can do to shrink them.

I just updated my sig...but I don't think that there is much that can be done as far as animation goes-so I am content with that.
Is it harder to do a sig?

The problem with animating sigs is that because they're far bigger than avatars they take longer to load, if you then animate your sig then it takes even longer which means anyone still using a dial-up internet connection has to wait days for a page to load.

So in answer to your question it isn't harder, it's just not really practical.
HolyDevil2053
Ah.... I get it...

Good thing I have dsl...lol

Ummm...do you think you could improve my avatar a bit? The cat's fur looks really grainy and a dot appears next to his eye every time he jumps. I want him to keep jumping, though. Not to say I don't like the one I have now, but I want it to look a bit better.
Here's the original image:

That could be difficult only because the light sabre covers part of his head, which means if it moved you'd have to redraw the bit of the head that's covered.

Shouldn't be all that difficult though...

...also, that's not really a jedi it's Darth Vadar.


Edit: Just altered Janiels avatar (Without his permission) just to give it that eerie blink...

By the way Jeremy, what's with the "barberman" thing in your sig??

Edit 2:

I've been having a go at this, I can get the sabre to move 20 degrees in each direction but as I said it's looking a bit naff where I have to redraw the figure. I was thinking...surely with a name like that a lego yoda is the way forward?? Lego Darth Vadar just looks too...nice, I mean he's smiling for crying out loud! laugh.gif
lego jedi
ok not to get too star wars techy but it is luke in return of the jedi when he fights darth ... check it out but only if you've nothing better to do...i did lol
dont mind you changing the picture but i would like it to be luke pleeeeeeease thanks you guys kryso said y'all are cool it seems he's right original.gif

Aesthetic
Jeez these avatars look great guys. Good Job!!
Any chance you will have time for mine??? If not no problem, if so i would greatly appreciate it. I would leave it up to your creativity. maybe clouds moving, sun setting etc etc. Anyway, great jobs nonetheless! thumbsup.gif

Always a pleasure to help you out Dot, I've had a tinker like I said I would so let me know what you think...

user posted image

It's difficult to change it too much without it looking naff but feel free to suggest any improvements. UA is the animating hair God so maybe he could help with that, and I'll stick the two animations together...

Yay Bardude! That is awesome...My Devious Honey avatar deserves one of these user posted image ...I wonder if I could persuade UA do make a slight movement in her hair?

Pretty please and thank you very much you guys are awesome grin2.gif wub.gif

Is that for dot,me,or canadian?
MichaelS
As much as I love the avatar I have now, I feel I need a new one.

I've attached some pics of things I want in it- if anybody can devise a new animated avatar for me, I'd greatly appreciate it- then I can create a sig to go with it. original.gif

Many thanks.

Yay!!! ty ty ty. You rock UA!!!!!
Universal Absurdity
Ok, i have 3 so far.

Canadian, Yona all you have to do is save the image to your computer and upload it as your avatar.

Dot, i could'nt get the frames barman used because they were compressed, so he'll have to add the animation. thebarman, frame 2 is the frame i altered.

Aesthetic, i'll see what i can do with yours thumbsup.gif
MichaelS
*Wonders if anybody noticed my request for a new animated avatar- I even supplied the materials*
Universal Absurdity
Calm down stewy, i saw it..gettin to others who posted before you rolleyes.gif , i cant do the flags. sorry. but i can animate the coffee cups, i should have something for you tomorrow (bit busy tonight)

I did manage to mess with aesthetic's
tell me what you think.
MichaelS
UA- quite all right- I was just bugging. original.gif

Even if it's just an animated Timmies cup on a stationary canadian flag, I'd be happy- it'd go well with the new quote I intend to use:

"As long as a Canadian can find a Tim Hortons, they're not lost... they're exploring." grin2.gif

I like aesthetic's. original.gif

Hey... I just logged on. It looks awesome!! TYVM for animating mine, I really appreciate it. thumbsup.gif It looks really cool fading into darkness. GJ.

There is no animation. sad.gif I saved the pic to my computer,changed it into JPEG in my paintshop,uploaded it as my avatar,but nothing happens in the pic.Why doesn't it show any animation? huh.gif
Jesus_Freak
are you right clicking and copying the URL? because if you just right click and hit copy, it will copy the frame that's on the page at the time...

i dunno what else to tell ya if that doesnt work

Canadian Rottweiler
It says that it is a unsuitable file.I copied it,didn't work.I pasted it,didn't work.It just says that this is a improper file that has an error in the URL.
Janiel
hmm, try again....
Deimos
Hey could you guys give me some animation? I was wondering if you could do some red eyes that flash up and the disappear again in the eye sockets of my skull, and then have my name appear on the bottom of my avatar in red slasher letters? Thanks a lot!
Canadian Rottweiler

Nice animations UA, top notch stuff I really must get to updating our website...anyways, Dot I'll get on to yours hopefully sometime today it shouldn't be too difficult combining the animations...

-----------------------------------------------------

Edit:

...spoke way too soon there, was a little tricky but I reckon I managed it ok. Dot you should be privileged me and UA haven't co-worked on an avatar since the legendary one for BurnSide.....which he's now changed (Boo, Hiss) laugh.gif

Let me know what you think...
Daughter of the Nine Moons
Wow!!! Bardude and UA!!!!!! You have outdone yourselves. That is some killer work! Thank you very much you two are awesome. (any chance you can give me the URL?)
