Erm, if its not to much trouble you know , I know Your Busy I was kinda Wondering If you would maybe have time when your free to possibly maybe whenever do somthing with mine if thats alright rolleyes.gif




Thanks in advance

Here's a question, what program are you using for these? Gif Animator? Once I saw the other Avatar's in their Animated Form, I was impressed and had to check out a program that I had once used before (Gif Animator). But the result was a banner at the bottom of each animation. sad.gif

Anyways, I was wondering if you can increase the energy ball to illuminate as with burnsides flame. And If possible, get those petals to fall. (Any of you guys know the anime show of this anime character, I have no idea who it is, thought it looked cool so I decided to choose it)
If you have any spare time to do this it would be apreciated, and mind telling me what program you're usin'. Thanks. original.gif

---------------
Here's what I was thinking. Use this for an example. I had used Adobe Photoshop to darken the atmosphere within the picture. And possibly as an animation increase the lighting. blink.gif If not, it was worth a shot. Actually nevermind, do what you can. My avatar is up for you to decide on. thumbsup.gif grin2.gif
Scorpius
Actually, I do have the programs necessary for an amazing gif animation. tongue.gif Corel Photo-Paint and Adobe Photoshop is just perfect grin2.gif

However, if you want a challenge with my Avatar, give it a go ahead. Later on, we'll compare mine with yours. grin2.gif

----
Okay, I'm at a dead end. How do I update my avatar using the animated version? Where can I upload these so that I can use em? I can use the help...Please wink2.gif original.gif
Universal Absurdity
Blue, i think barman and i would be more than happy to have a contest to see who does best tongue.gif

I know you're havin problems with the animation. Make sure you are saving each image as a GIF in order to get it to work.

Thanks UA!! My Avatar is now officially awesome! And henceforth I shall sing the praises of the Universal One and The Barman to the four corners of the earth! (assuming that I can find four corners on a sphere)

Hey Barman and UniversalAbsurtity! You guys sure do some amazing stuff. I've been trying my hand at .gif's, but I really suck. sad.gif

I've been trying to make this scene look like its actually raining, and add words to it, (if you've seen Cowboy Bebop, this pic should look familiar), was wondering if you could help me out? Please? Wanted to add the words- "...see you space cowboy". If you could I would be much happy!



Scorpius
Fantastic. If only you could see what I had came up with. Do a little comparison. Oh well. Yours is simple and it works. thumbsup.gif grin2.gif
Thanks for makin' me one.

YEAAAAAAAAAH! grin2.gif grin2.gif It finally works.. a little file format there and here, et voila! I might change it up again. I'd rather keep the petals or not. tongue.gif

The rain in your pic wouldn't be to hard to animate it's the ripples in the puddle that would be a challenge, your always going to have trouble animating a 3D image using the simple programs we use.

If you look at the animations myself and UA have done all the best ones in my opinion are 2D and kept simple, like Halo_Jones's one for example.

I'm afraid an image like that is out of my league, maybe UA would look at it for you, sorry I couldn't be of more help dontgetit.gif

Sunlit_Coyote,

You certainly presented me with a challenge I'll give you that, I've kind of reached a point where I'm not sure what else I can do, I'd of liked to have more frames but I reached the 50kb limit and had to stop.

I'm gonna upload it as it is but if anyone else can tweak it a bit for the better then that's fine...

Whoa, now that is a challenge, I don't know if I dare mess with what's been voted the best avatar in the forum but if you really want us to me and UA would be glad to help...

Barman go to photobucket.com All you need is an email address for free online storage (url's are provided w00t.gif ) 250k size limit per pic, any pics over that are auto resized cool.gif .

Thanks for makin' me one.


No problem Blue-Scorpion, i liked yours for a while, the pleasure was all mine original.gif

Hi Barman

Well this can be a test then!! I am sure you and UA can make it even better than it already is.

I am interested to see what you can do with it and I can always put it as a signature...

In that case challenge accepted,

I'm on it now, hopefully it'll be done by the end of the day.

mmm, I don't know janielsenj666...

UA might be a bit annoyed at you for changing your avatar after all his hard work, he's done a few animations with hair waving in them though I'm not too good at that so I'll leave it to him to play around with yours (so to speak) if he wishes tongue.gif

OK Scar, what'll it be?

Although are you really going to keep this avatar for long? You have a cool username which has the potential for many cool animated avatars, I could come up with something entirely original if you wanted....?

If there is anything you can do with " El Che" I'd be most grateful and impressed.

Thanks guys. thumbsup.gif

Mabye even just a little red star on his beret would be cool.
Universal Absurdity
No problem gollum, would you like it to blink red?
or just make it red (the pic did not want to let me add color so i had to beat it with a stick)

Here was the only thing I could do....but its still to big to be an avatar, and if i shrink it anymore...it doesn't look right....


WOOT! I did it! wiggle.gif I'm not completely, software challanged!

This seems to happen with everyone, I think people keep trying to upload the image as an avatar which you can't do as the avatar size limit is only 20kb.

The post upload limit however is 50kb which means you can copy and paste this link below into the "Enter URL" box in your avatar settings and hey presto, one new avatar
