B-man, I think your animations just get better and better.  That space one is wicked.  I think it should be in the discovery channel or something... laugh.gif that's what it looks like--i know, i have a strange mind. laugh.gif

Thanks Blue but I can't really take credit, it's just screenshots from a program which I shrunk and stuck together there's nothing to it, I can whack these ones out in maybe 15-20 mins each.

Still, I'm glad you like it thumbsup.gif

I've done a couple of spacey ones since, if anyone is interested check out this thread over on SFN:

thanks again Vamp, and i'll see what i can do LIV, i've never done lightning, so it will probably suck, but Barman or UA could do a lot better


ok, here it is, i'm not proud of it... but then again, it's my 1st attempt at lightning...

you dont have to use it LIV, i totally understand if you don't, because let's face it, it's not all that great....

thats two people that have failed for LIV LOL i couldnt do a siggy, you couldnt do an avatar HAHAHAHA tongue.gif

ah well... dontgetit.gif ....no harm done! tongue.gif

itll do sweety grin2.gif
thebarman
LittleIrishVampiress,

I'd recommend UA for your avatar as he did the lightning on Saucy's old avatar and it looked cool (You can see it in the gallery), my photoshop has expired now I was going to do yours on that but now I'm back to using crappy old Windows Paint...oh well sad.gif


Edit: Sod it, Windows Paint hasn't let me down before I'll do it how hard can it be...

Here's the link:

I tried this LIV's avatar the other day when she posted the request, i did'nt have lightning quite the right color for the pic, i like what you did barman. not bad at all. thumbsup.gif (perhaps another bolt on the opposite side, and a bit of a pause between the two flashes? i'll see if i cant get to it before you do tongue.gif )

Oh, and i did saucy's current avatar as well

Cool UA, errrm....nice one mate thumbsup.gif

I too did an avatar for our little friend but I thought I'd do what she asked and make her "spirals" spin

Here they are spinning slowly:

What programs do you use to animate GIFS UA and barman?
thebarman
QUOTE (jpalz @ Aug 27 2004, 04:17 PM)
What programs do you use to animate GIFS UA and barman?

Various combinations of Windows paint, Microsoft Gif animator, Ulead Gif animator and occasionally photoshop.

For the most part though good ol' Windows Paint hasn't let me down, you'd be surprised what it's capable of if you know what your doing wink2.gif

I would like it if someone straightned the pixels or sumthing. My avatar just looks wrong. Or made it in better quality.
Uncle Meat

Nice work UA!

I'll update the gallery at some point today, I've been a bit quiet on the avatar front recently, Reese has given me a bit of a toughie that I'll have another bash at soon, is there anyone else out there I've forgotten about?...
