Glad you like it grin2.gif

Hi Final Remark original.gif
Do You mean by twinkle change colors? and do you mean your new avatar or the old one? The first one, the letters are a little to small for me to be able to see them, but on the new one you have I could make the letters change colors if you like...I dont really know what you have in mind as "twinkle"


Yes of course I would be glad if you can! And btw whats that called? thumbsup.gif tongue.gif

I am a member of a different board and when I tried uploading my new and improved Avatar there, it prevented me from doing so with the following message:

"The maximum size of your custom image is 100 by 100 pixels or 14.6 KB (whichever is smaller)."

I checked and this size is 29kb. Is it possible for you to shrink it just enough for it to qualify according to their rules and still have the awesome functionality that you gave it?

Many thanks.

Here you go...not quite as good quality as your current one, but 14.5 kb. In order to maintain decent color, I had to remove a frame.
Mr. Fahrenheit
Did you guys get my request on page 276? I'll repost it, hold on.
QUOTE

I was looking at the avatar SayntBrigid did for me, and I really like it, but I think it needs something more. could you possible do something(anything you want really, if you wanted to try a few different things) with the background (the greenish part, that would be cool. If you wanted to incorporate something else from Donnie Darko (a picture or style or whatever) that would be cool too.

EDIT: sorry about double post blush.gif


Does the blue and black on the wall help Universal?
like this?
Mr. Fahrenheit
Yeah, it does! Could you fill in the other side, or would it look bad?
I just realised this may be a bit confusing, as the picture looks like he's pushing him to the right wall. They're actually backing up, so the whole background is sorta the wall.

It doesnt fill in neatly becuase its very "graduated" but you might like it......here it is with both sides filled, see which you like best......its what you like that matters original.gif
Mr. Fahrenheit
There's some gook on the left guy's shoulder on that one (unless that's what you mean by graduated, but it looks good.
Would the avatar be too large in memory if you were to make the background swirl around a little in a neat way?
If the different colors mess up the image, maybe the animation could be the background behind them filling in black from the right to the left when the knife flashes (Do one with the knife flashing and one without b/c the flash might make it look weird.)
I really apologize for bombarding ya thumbsup.gif

Hi guys!

Just like to apologise for my recent absence I'm away at a clients at the moment, I've managed to steal a computer for a few mins but if anyone finds me posting here I'll be in big doodoo!

Hope to be back sometime next week, happy animating thumbsup.gif

MaxXBlaze
Hi all, I'm obviously new here, but very interested in knowing how to do my own avatar, first of all, what are the complete programs that the animators are using frequently. Is MSGIF and Ulead the only things being used, what are basic requirements ona computer to make animated avatars such as an anime or movie one?I have infact download the programs, i have the ...sigh....15 day trial of ULead...though i;m only going around the program messing with it, not reading a whole lot..I just wanna get my hands dirty LOL...but i have also seent the tutorials ont he front page, i have MSpaint...just wondering if there are other things and programs being used out there to make more cool looking avatars. Sorry for the long post. original.gif

The Folowing avatar is something i would like to create.
Mr. Fahrenheit
I'm going to try to do my own animation on my avatar for this one, SayntBrigid. I also have the trial of Ulead and I have figured out how to use it in union with MS paint. I would also like to know if there are ANY free programs out there that have the functions of Ulead.
I've heard of something called Project Dogwaffle that supposedly is free, but I'm not sure the functionality / reliabity of it or if there are better free programs
thumbup.gif

Also, Max, I'd say that's probably more of a clip from an actual anime than an avatar created with programs. There are some video capturing GIF converters out there, I'm sure. The people here probably know better than me, though

That is correct, that wasn't created with an animation program that was drawn frame by frame.

That would require some serious work, where photos are concerned my abilities to animate are mainly limited to effects or small movements ie:blinking. Someone walking into a room and turning their head is almost impossible from just one frame, sorry.

hi there, just stumbled apo this site, and was very impressed with the avatar work that you guys are doing.
ok so i was looking to get the recent peter crouch 'robot' dance into an animated GIF that is 50x50 pixels and not bigger than 2.9 kb,
Is this possible as i'm not great at editing these kind of things, i have 5 photos of the dance in question
I'm not looking for anything fancy, even if ist just the pics looped. it would be much appreciated if anyone could give me any info about it
thank you in advance grin2.gif

MaxXBlaze, there is a program called fraps that is capable of taking screenshots from movies, thats the only way ive done movie frames.

brianfraggle, post the images, i'm sure someone could get it together for you original.gif

it needs to be either 50x50 or less than 2.9kb, whichever is smaller,

Mmm, 50x50 is possible but incredibly tiny, below 2.9kb is virtually impossible.

Well, given the parametres you defined I can only assume you want an avatar that rediculously small for another forum. Why you would want to visit another forum is beyond me and normally I wouldn't do an avatar for it, but just to prove it isn't impossible nor beyond me her is the avatar you requested:

I also include the far larger and much better version that you can use should you decide to participate further on this far better forum, I'll let you decide grin2.gif thumbsup.gif

Say please and I might think about it.

It's worth remembering that myself and all the other animators are not a service provided by unexplained-mysteries, but rather we provide a service to unexplained-mysteries, and a free service at that, by giving up our own time to help people out who we don't even know.

You've not said 'please' once, and I always put those who have manners ahead of those who do not. Which is why Jack of Blades has his avatar now thumbsup.gif

Also, how do I know you wont change your mind again? Not three hours after I had spent my lunch hour doing your avatar had you asked for it to be changed again.

I leave for a holiday in a couple of days, I might have time to do more animating, I might not, we'll have to wait and see.
