the avatars around here. And I'm volunteering my help with a couple of caveats.

I'll make you an avatar if you don't have one. I mean, there's some good ones here but they lack that indivdual flair that gives strong identity to the user. So, I'm volunteering. I'll make you an av for use here at KW forums. Only problems are:

1) I suck at Photoshop

2) These avs are damn small!

3) Did I mention I suck at Photoshop?

Herewith, find some avs I have done. If you want it, right click, save as, and have at it in your User CP!

The last ones are pretty good, but I like pikachu.......unless you can suit him up for me (either a "suit" suit or boug....) in which case I'm game!

I'm sorry, Gibbs. Badly cropping and resizing things is the extent of my inadequate skill with Photoshop. But there must be some other photoshop whizzes on this board. Pitch in, won't you?

[AlexanderPalamayr]

And, let me clarify, some of you have great avs! I just see a lot of blanks or something from the gallery and am volunteering to help those of us with no flair*.




*So do you wanna meet at Tschotschy's or Flinger's?

i'm decent with photoshop, but when it comes to tihngs like avatars and expressing "individual flair," i have as much imagination as a stack of rocks.

[RogHammon]

How long must I wait to be able to put my own avatar on?!?!?
I've had one prepared for ages!!!

[peemovvie]

Oh, do you not get to do one until you reach a certain post count?

[cheaploans]

Yes, you need a certain number of posts, I'm already able to... But I haven't found an avatar I like yet...

Arthur, I've the flair if you've the skills! Put a pin stripe suit on my friend pikachu here and I'll be eternally in your debt!

i've got some mild photoshoping skills and a half working graphix tablet, but no time to really do anything, i've got 8 credits this summer (in an accelerated program) with finals comming up, and then i go right into the fall semester which involves a 6 credit lab that ends up being 20 credits worth of work (microproc design and fab) You need to find a 14-15 year old, thats when i did my best work, have plenty of freetime to both do the art, and learn more about software, i did so much self teaching about software and programming back then.. lol

What do you want? We can try and find it!

Nothing too difficult to make your own:

Things you need - a photo you like, and of course, Photoshop.

1. Open file
2. Select Crop from tool bar (press "C")
3. At the Option Bar (on top, underneath menu bar), set both width and height to 60 px (max size you can have), with resolution at 72 pixel/inch.
4. Select the area you want the avatar to be, say, the face of a person, etc.
5. Double-click on selection to crop.
6. Undo as much as you like, but do a Save for Web (Shift + Ctrl + Alt + S) when you finish.
7. Use the 2-up window to get a view of your file size. Reduce quality if too large. Then save and upload.

Elementary, Watson.

It can be anything up to 100 posts, but the words "Registered User" under your name change to "Member", then you can use your own avatar. But it must be 60 x 60 pixels! Awooga Guy had to resize his picture of Sid

Awooga Guy's went after 60-something posts though, so its a bit weird.

Shouldnt be long for you now




That is all.

[fluistulkn]

But mine fits my name so well?

[WGRocky]

As I said, some of us have wonderful avatars! Not knocking 'em!

[BWJfEkOB]

Hey, I made mine... but got not enough time as to open my own shop!!!!
