Need a new avatar?

[MasterNeon]

No thanks, I'm good with Aang. Hi yo!

 

[novixz]

I saw the title of this thread and couldn't resist.

 

[Treblaine]

Should I change mine? (I probably won't use the one from your list, not a fan of animated gif avatars unless they are discrete)

What I really want is one based on Doomguy's face glancing left and right, but I can't find one and don't know how to make one.

Hmm, area around her feet looks too busy, I can't see where the plants sprout from where her feet land.

I thank you for the effort though.

I do have another idea, would it be possible top add a sky background with some clouds rushing by?

How's this? Your call :} Hope it's what you wanted.

I didn't realise how difficult the image would be to crop.

I thank you for the effort though, and I'm sorry for wasting your time.

..It's alright, you didn't waste my time though. Sorry my GIF to you wasn't what you were looking for, really wanted to make your Avatar far more special like that feeling you get during Christmas time.

Hmm, maybe they need to be animated clouds and not photorealistic? And then, only the top two thirds of the frame.

Are you looking for something more like this?

Only, you know, with nicer looking clouds? (I suuuuuuuck...) Your original avatar is clean and simple and any addition should reflect that - no offense to Caramel Frappe meant!

Yes, exactly what I mean.

But yes, with clouds that look better when looped.

I figured as much. I put this together in like 3 minutes and unfortunately it's probably the best I can do; I am awful at drawing pixelated art and even worse at clouds in any way shape or form. Seeing as it's an Okami Ameratsu avatar - it is right? Haven't played the game -_-; - Asian art style clouds would look awesome.

 

[l3o2828]

They all look nice despite the fact i hate ponies.

But yeah, i would be so grateful to anyone that could make any kind of avatars regarding the Shin megami tensei series (inc. Persona and Digital Devil Saga, aswell as Raidou Kuzonoha) Or Dance Dance Revolution , Both series i grew up with.

It is Okami, and yes, watercolour clouds would look great.

 

[Spawny0908]

How do you make these? I'd love lots of John Marston ones!

 

[trollnystan]

I went picture searching, found some nice clouds, and I came up with this:

The looping could be a lot better but I just wanted to show you - and others who could probably do this better than me - how it could look.

EDIT: Sorry if I'm spamming you with quote messages btw, but I've always loved your avatar =3

 

[MercurySteam]

I have some pony ones I made, so here they are for sharing:

Go forth my fellow bronies! Go forth!

Want your own pony avatars? Just Ask!

Yes, just like that. I'm not really sure what could be changed about the looping. Hopefully someone with more expertise will see what they can do.

I appreciate the effort.

I make .gifs using a program called GIMP [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMP] it's free and easy to use.

Now I'm revelaing some secrets here on how I make the gifs so I'll spoiler what I do >.>

Spoiler: How I make gifs from youtube videos.

Step1: Find youtube video with what you want on it.
Step2: add save before the youtube link Ex: http://www.saveyoutube.com/watch?v=dfdjbskd (this isn't a real video to my knowledge >.>)
Step3: Download the file as an .mpg4 extension
Step4: Once you have downloaded the video go to Bender Converter [http://benderconverter.com/], select convert to gif and then click browse and put in the youtube file you just downloaded. then click convert.
Step5: Once it is done converting it will ask you what part of the video you want to make into a gif, you select your desired time and size of image. then you download it.
Step6: oncce you have downloaded the gif you can use GIMP to open the file and edit it to your hearts desire.

Hope this helps ^-^

Made this for you- custom animation by making simple still pictures into life. In other words, here's your Doomguy request which if you dislike for any reason, please be honest with me about it. Otherwise do enjoy ^_^.

Thank you very much, this is too kind, I was expecting no more than a recommendation of what program to use.

Thank you again, but I don't think I would like to use that. I'd really like to do it myself, for the ideal timing, background and the frames to use, it's hard to explain, this is the inner artist champing at the bit for a canvas to paint o,

I have actually found my source:


ironic a YouTube video is the place where I find the highest quality stills (No other source as the link in description is long dead), ignore all the gory ones, it is just the three frames from 1:40 to 1:55 I want to capture with a long pause on each but it's the timing I myself want to determine. I think I have found a way, I'll let you see my attemt, you'll see what I'm going for.

Do you want the clouds to loop slower?

 

[General Vagueness]

people in the "publisher's club" get to have bigger avatars too? and yet still only 100x100? I'd like to say I'm disappointed but I don't think I was here when The Escapist was better than all this stuff

Yes please.

I appreciate all this effort.

 

[Mcupobob]

Hmm I'm tempted. But me and this avatar have been through so much. I just, I just don't know.
