We're workin on it, we are we are
. Just be patient a little more bit longer....
Okay then 
Hey, hows this?
I really hate my blinking skills. The way I make eyes blink? I'm really bad at that
. So, if anyone wants to tweek the image I made, maybe tweek the blinking, you most certainly have my permission...
But I hope the walking part is good .

hey guys could you animate my avatar?
maybe you could make the "Back in Black" get really big and burst into flame or something and then go back down. thanks if you can

Bursting into flame is difficult as fire is hard to animate, plus I think you're avatar looks best just black and white. How about I make the letters slightly larger and have lightning strike the letters out the background?
Lightning strikes are a speciality of mine?

Heres one, but I dont know what it will look like that small

I'm assuming that was directed at me, thanks, but no. I rather like this one the way it is. Thank you though.

would it be possible to do anything with the ninja pirate? 
sky, you only need to post once... everyone can see what you asked... now if you have a picture in mind, that would help a lot... unless you want to be suprised, then we can choose one that we like...
pyro, i'll keep that in mind in school, and i'll see if i can do anything when i get home.. any suggestions would be cool too.

awww...thanks! If you can't do it, don't worry!
star_child... my Imagecave account won't let me sign in, and i even tried making a new account. I have to put your avatar on the internet, and get a URL for it because the file size is over this forum's limit. so i'll keep trying, and once I finally get signed in, i'll have your avatar.
and MJB, look for one that you like from this page, or the 2 following it, and tell me which one you like, and i can take the watermark off of it... and if you don't want one of those, then i'll see what i can do with some other picture...

I'd like either the angel fish with bubbles or the goldfish in the fishbowl please.
I also saw a one under flags, Canadian provinces, and I saw an Alberta flag I like (it's the large one on a pole)
Here is one with a little fire, marthmadness54.

Blinking tutorial
As animations go making them blink is one of the simplest to do and a good one to start off with. For this example I'm using an avatar briefly used by Janiel from the film "The Grudge".
Step 1
First I took the normal image that Janiel already had as his avatar and saved it to my computer as '01'...[See Fig.1]
Fig.1
Step 2
Next you have to find a colour suitable for an eyelid, usually this is a few shades darker than the charaters skin colour but in this case its all black, then we colour in half the eye, [See Fig.2] and save the image as '02'.
Fig.2
Step 3
Same as Step 2, just fill in the whole eye [See Fig.3]
Fig.3
Step 4
Now you just stick them all in your animator, remember that you'll need 4 frames, Fig.2 is needed twice, once for the eyelid going down, then once for it going up again. Make the timing as quick as possible for the blinking, with a nice long time for the first frame with the eye open, at least a few seconds.
In my example I've made it blink once, then a pause, then twice, but any combination of blinks is avaliable to you depending on how large a file you want your animation to be.
When your done it should look like this...

umm what's the 'animator?'
there's a link to the program that some of us use to animate on the first page i believe. Also, you can ask thebarman, or Jeremy Rumbolt, to email a different animator to you or send it through MSN.
MJB, the angelfish one is a toughy since the watermark goes right through the fish... but i did the others.

bad news MJB, the page with those animations on it is refusing to cooperate... the animations won't animate, and the quality of the pictures is terrible... i don't know why it's doing that... maybe if i try next time i turn on my computer... and also, the angelfish with bubbles is a difficult one to erase the watermark on because it goes through the fish... i can try to do that flag right now though.

U sure I can use these? It did say members only. If so, thanks
Star_child, they were made by someone else... not me...
MJB, you have to pay to get the full size version of the animation without the watermark... i take the small thumbnail version, and just erase the watermark.

Ah. Ok, still cool, though! 
there ya go Star_Child... i had to take out a few frames to reduce file size, so it isn't as smooth as it used to be, but it's still ok in my opinion.
hope ya like it

Basically what i did was take the animation that you saw on the internet, saved it to my computer, and edited each picture in the animation so that the watermark in it would not be there... you have no connection with that company, so you do not have to pay anyone.
and star_child, you're welcome... oh, and i forgot to give you the URL... unless you've done that already... just right click the animation, go to properties, and you'll see a thing called a URL... copy the ENTIRE url, and paste it into the URl box in your avatar options
and uhh... pyro asked for this a while back... a simple blink/wink is all i could think of...
Can someone make mine blink, please?

it isn't the cleanest job in the world... but i'm really tired, and i did it in 2 minutes... i can do it again tomorrow if you like... i don't mind...
here ya go
here ya go
Thank you! *hugs*
here... i made the animation a little better...
Nice work there JF and Triniant, I was working on one for MarthMadness but Triniant's one is pretty cool so I'll leave it for now...
...anyone still waiting??
Edit: Thinking about asking for a name change to the thread, there are plenty of animators here now I think it's unfair to trade under myself and UA anymore. I'll PM UA and see what he thinks, a name like "The Animated Avatar Workshop" might be a better choice
Edit again: and it's done, all animators are listed in the first post, let me know if I've missed anyone

what ever happened to Blue Scorpion? I remember he used to animate with us too... I think you've got all the animators though Barman...
