Universal Absurdity

Let me know if you'd like any changes thumbsup.gif



Diebytheflyguy
w00t.gif Thats hilarious!
Devilwolf
what I was thinking for my avatar was to make a cloud pass in front of the moon and the glow in the eyes on the wolf simmer down, but the cloud uncovers the moon the eyes flicker and brighten up, just an idea, if you have any suggestions, feel free.

Mmm something simple, make his head pop out, blink a few times then disappear, then pop out again somewhere else like at the top or the other side and blink again. Somthing like that, hows that sound??

Please note, the newer avatar is too large to be uploaded so it has to be linked, if you need help in doing this there's a link at the bottom of UA's signature that can help.

I've decided to keep the blood. It goes better with the name cool.gif, sorry to waste your time though, but thanks anyway!

yes thats sounds pretty cool!
thebarman
OK, it'll be here in about...5-10 mins, I'll edit this post and stick it in...

8 minutes exactly, I'm on a roll check it out...
BeWell
I just picked up a new avatar. I like this one a lot but if there is anything you can do to it to make it cooler I would really appreciate it. Maybe electricity or lightning from the staff. With your creativity I know whatever you do will be fantastic.
thebarman
Yeah I could do that, it'll have to be after the weekend though so I'm afraid you'll have to wait, I only do this at work and I'm off home soon.

Unless of course UA helps you out....
Yona
Thanks u.a, but for some unknown reason, it will not show up, I think that the pic url your directing me to will not load on my comp. But I bet the avatar is cool looking anyway!
BeWell
Thank you. I can wait or if UA wants to take over he is welcome too.
Devilwolf
thanks barmen you captured what I was looking for
Jesus_Freak
i was thinking of making the glow fade in and out, and spin for BeWell's, but it would only look good if i could do 45 degree turns... oh and i found out if i use that kodak easyshare thing, i can do fade in and fadeout stuff, haha... now i'm not stuck with only paint!

EDIT: here ya go BeWell, this is what i could do (since i suck at lightning) but i can try lightning after this. UA or Barman will probably do something better if you're willing to wait.

Universal Absurdity
Great job with the new ones barman thumbsup.gif i wanted to animate Cpt.InsanO's before he requested it laugh.gif its awesome, again good job!

Yona, i was able to shrink your avatar without loosing any color or quality bounce.gif [attachmentid=8117]

Nice work zao, i'll see what i can do about getting some lightning in that pic, i may be able to do something with it saturday.

Devilwolf
Zao, it was good until the black background started lightening up too

This is pretty cool. I was thinking maybe you could slow it down some though.
Keep the flash fast but slow the fade down. What do you think?

Thanks JF thumbsup.gif

Jesus_Freak
yeah, no problem at all... gimme 5 minutes

Edit: well it took less than 5 minutes... but now it's above the limit, so you'll hafta use the URL... here ya go copy and paste this URL into the box in your avatar options.

Dancing_Dumplings
dont know if this has been asked before, but what program do you use ot make these avvies? and how hard is it? grin2.gif
Jesus_Freak
DD, we use either microsoft GIF animator, or Ulead animator, but you hafta pay for Ulead. just do a google search for Microsoft GIF animator. i'll try to find the site that UA and I got ours from.

it isnt hard to use at all, but you have to use another program like paint or photoshop to edit each frame, then copy and paste each frame into the program. simple stuff.

EDIT: found it! here ya go

it's a small file just cuz it's a small program. enjoy!

It all depends on how many changes you're making, simple avatars can take as little as maybe 15-20 mins to finish, complicated ones can take a few hours.

hey jeremy, a little tip for when you're trying to write something out like that, and you have it written out already. instead of cutting out all the letters and trying to paste them into the exact spot they were in, work backwards, and just erase a letter for each frame. put the frames in reverse order of how you made them, and there ya go, it spells the words out without the letters moving around... unless of course you wanted them to move around thumbsup.gif

here ya go dv89000, hope ya like it
TooFarGone
ok, thanks. So, erase the letters, and then fill the spod behind it in?
Jesus_Freak
yeah, and for each letter taken away, make a new frame... the hard part is getting the empty space to fit with the surrounding area. it takes practice.
BeWell
Hi, JF. I tried the url for the last fix you did for me and keep getting an error.

The error returned was:

Sorry, but the URL you entered for your avatar was incorrectly formatted or the link is not valid.

Any ideas?


Ok, thanks JF
