No problem Anakim. I have an adjustment to make, i'll edit this post, and put it here shortly (just the way the eyes glare...sorry i'm a perfectionist).
Strangel, i'll work on yours, thebarman, you too... i tend to loose color more so than you. (with that fancy newer animating program you got. you <censored>

)

mmm difficult one I'm not sure what to do with this one...

I can't quite make it out, are those wings? If they are I guess I could make them flap.
Anyway, Anakim first then Nxt2Hvn...

Ok this one for strangel has to be the most altered one yet... i am pleased with the result, i did not think it would turn out this well.
Nxt2Hvn, I have no idea what pic to get you. Lets see what thebarman comes up with.
btw.. Very nice work with the smoke barman

[EDIT]- After seeing it again, i think i could do a bit better. Monday i will have a bit of time to fix the wing color.

Shouldn't be too difficult cor_raven,
Hold tight I've got a couple of other avatars queing up but I'll definately do it sometime next week, unless someone beats me to it of course...

Nxt2Hvn!Right, you gave me free range on this one so I hope you like it, I had a moment of inspiration last night and this is the result:

Or you can have it go the other way:

anyone want an avatar.....

Jesus_Freak
Jul 31 2004, 02:30 AM
well, i have somewhat of a challenge for you Barman... i want my avatar animated in some way, whether you give me an idea for it, or do the animation yourself.... but i just tried making the fingers move from out of the picture up to their current position, and it sucked...
yes, those are fingernails, painted black... just in case you couldnt make out what was going on... and they are resting on the person's cheek just below his eye... with the band name "zao" on there...
i'm stumped....
if ya can do anything than that'd be awesome

Had a bit of a name change have we??
lol, it's certainly do-able, but the fingers are only a small part of the avatar anyway, also as you pointed out its a pretty hard avatar to make out,
I'm not entirely sure what you'd like, is it just the fingers you'd like animated??
Jesus_Freak
Jul 31 2004, 03:15 AM

Those are cool avatars and animations..
Wonderedm if you could do one or both of these..

(Like a flag waving in the wind.. no pole needed)
See how i mean here.
Linky
I would just like this one to rotate 360*, in a loop.
Please let me know how you make these. I can use them for my website.
Cheers

Jul 31 2004, 06:25 PM
No problem strangel, i am going to go back and do some touch ups to the wings on monday. I'll PM you with the result.
Cerebrus, i dont know if i could do the flag, and the 360 spin i cant do much for because i mainly use MS paint (it only allows 90 degree angles) maybe thebarman could help you. I might have a program at home that i could get some spin on that ball for you, i'll check.
Jesus_Freak
Jul 31 2004, 10:54 PM
yeah... i just did the ball in MS paint, cerberus, just o you can see what UA means... and the flag thing is nearly impossible in MS paint....
here's the ball

Have anytime for me again. Found a better Avatar Pic, wondering what you could do with mine. I have an idea for myself, but I wanna see what you guys come up with
Knowin' you guys are busy, and this is a free service, take as much time as you'd like.

i've been looking at your avatar for sa while blue, thinking of what i could do... so far nothing comes to mind...
i'll keep on thinkin'
cerberus
Aug 1 2004, 09:13 AM
Thats brilliant.
How do you animate the ball?
I assume that you must have 2 pictures, one of the ball normal, and 1 reversed.
But.. how do you put them together to make an animation?
It would save a lot of time if i knew how to do them myself!
Many Thanks!

Its good to see that youve found an animating program cerbeus, i noticed you have an annoying banner. try looking up Microsoft Gif Animator, its free and there are no banners
cerberus
Aug 1 2004, 02:50 PM
I need some help here.
I make the frames in MS Paint..
I used the ones copied and pasted from the program i used to animate.
When i save them as GIF, they mess up.
Now, when i go into MS GIF animator, i can only select GIF.
So, my BMP image, i saved in MS Paint is useless.
How exactly do you manage to save a GIF in MS Paint without messing it up?
Please reply asap.
Thanks !

Here, how 'bout I post the larger version; that way you can get a better view on what he looks like.

I didn't realize he was a freak with 6 arms, I wonder if they're retractable, cause I ain't got 4 arms hidin' behind my back

Unfortunately I don't think you can.
I started off with the very same problem, I still use MS paint to draw my frams but I use Ulead Gif animator to put them together as there is very little colour distortion.
As I understand it the problem lies in the .gif format, as it doesn't support the full spectrum of colours - only a select few.
This means if you've used colours which arn't .gif compatable and you save your pic as a .gif it will change the colour to what MS paint thinks is the closest alternative, Ulead I presume does the same but manages to pick its colours more accurately.
Hope this helps

That's a difficult image to animate Blue, its way too complicated and intricate, all the best animations are simple designs.
It makes a great avatar as it is but I'd be interested to see what your plans are for it...

Aug 2 2004, 09:28 PM
strangel...no matter what i do i cant reproduce what i did to your avatar.

so i cant fix the wings
on the brighter side, disinterested, i made 2 for you to choose from (burnside asked much earlier for yours to be animated)
first one:

Aug 3 2004, 03:09 AM
Yes, my new Avatar Pic does have a lot of intricately placed details. hmm. Well, like I said, my computer is lame and slow, and stupid enthusiastic me, I installed the advanced graphic arts softwares, which my computer has trouble doing tasks quick enough...
Anyways, maybe UA can have a go at mine
