Well, I didn't intend for this to become an independent project, but with my obsession with creating newer and better avatars, I've made too many. I've used these all at one time, but I don't really want to use them anymore. Once it's old, it's old, ya know what I mean? Now, some are of better quality than others because 1: I've grown better at this in the past year and 2: I designed some in photoshop CS2 and others in CS3. It makes a big difference. Well, here's what I've got so far that I don't really want anymore:

Please mention the one you want here, so there are no arguments or misunderstandings.

And more. The board wouldn't let me post more images in my first post. I made these today as a matter of fact and they didn't turn out as well as I expected them to:

I'll get more soon. I change avatars very often.
-
cool icons LBTlover
-
Nice Icons. Not sure if it's ok to use avatars that have the same character as member levels or only admin level avatar characters is the problem. I'd guess that admin level ones. Having an assortment of avatars is always a nice thing.
-
So...in the jist of things yoiu are giving us other members cause if that the case....I want to use the very last one in your first post!
-
Lots of nice avatars for folks to choose from, but don't you want to put your name on them so you get credit for their creation?
-
I'd like the third one in your first post.
-
Those are really cool avatars. :^.^:
I personally like the 5th one in you first post.
-
Nice Avatars, thoughi'll just stick to the one i have now.
-
cool icons i like the 5th the most
-
Beautiful icons! Thank youf for sharing them with us Austin! :yes
-
That's it! I'm taking this one:

No exceptions! :)
-
very cool man! i'm pick this one! :yes (see avatar)
-
how you did that?
-
nice. I still prefer mine of John Cleese, though.
-
Need some Petrie icons. :nyah You've done very well with the transparency job.
-
Anyone who said the avatar they liked the best first gets it if they want it. Glad everyone likes them! :D

Sorry. As I said, I didn't intend this to be a separate project. These are just ones I made for myself and I don't really need anymore. I'll try to make a Petrie one too. I can't make more than a couple one's of Spike though, seeing as they only show his whole body a few times in the newer sequels. I've tried making avatars of the older movies, and they didn't look very good.
Thank you for the compliment. Yeah, there is a big difference in transparency and quality between photoshop CS2 and CS3. This one was made in CS2 and I haven't touched it up yet with CS3. You can really tell:
(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/tlordame/15-2.gif)
I'm afraid that the magic wand tool just isn't very good for this sort of thing. CS3's quick selection tool does an almost perfect job selecting the background.
how you did that?
I used video snapshot genius to take the screenshots, then I put them into photoshop CS3 and took away the background. After that, I cropped and resized the image so it would comply with Petrie's image size restrictions. Believe me, when you take one of these avatars that's larger than it can be and the board automatically resizes it, it looks really bad, especially the one with text.
-
I just made this avatar, and I can't stress this enough. This is for Nimrod ONLY. I took this from his original avatar and modified it in case he likes the transparency more. If he doesn't want it, it's still not up for grabs since it's so similar to his current avatar. Oh, and if you want I can add some text to it Nimrod. Any font, color, size, location, or orientation. That goes for all of you too. If you want some text added, I'll add it for you. Anyway, here's your avatar Nimrod:

And this is what it looked like before:

I like the transparent one because the characters can be larger. It doesn't have a background taking up all the resolution.
Not sure if it's ok to use avatars that have the same character as member levels or only admin level avatar characters is the problem. I'd guess that admin level ones. Having an assortment of avatars is always a nice thing.
I don't think your avatar is limited to your level, so long as you don't use one of the status images for your avatar. I've had a Littlefoot avatar when I was a noobie. Just to be safe though, I'll refrain from posting avatars of grandpa longneck. :lol
-
Absolutely beautiful work on these icons!
the transparency is done extreamly well, they meld well into the forums, looking flawless and crisp
WELL DONE!!!!
-
Absolutely beautiful work on these icons!
Thank you so much for the compliment. I'm glad you like them.
Everyone seems to be thinking these are desktop icons. These are actually avatars you can set here. Did you want me to make an icon set out of them too?
-
I was teasing at the lack of Petrie icons Austin...I didn't say make one for me. ;)
-
Well, I sort of actually made one for you Petire, but please don't feel obligated to use this avatar. I'm sure if you don't want it that there are others that could use it. I'm surprised it came out as good as it did, seeing as I made it on the school bus. :lol
(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/tlordame/thpetrie-2-4.png)
As I said, please don't feel like you have to use this avatar Petire. I've had that happen to me a while ago on another forum before I had the tools to create avatars like this and I didn't like it at all. I felt like I had to use this avatar someone made for me even though I didn't really like it. The last thing I want to do is force someone to change avatars so please if you don't like it, don't feel like you have to use it.

One benefit, like you mentioned, of having no background in your avatars is the figure can be a bit larger.

This is especially true with Petrie. He is only shown up close very rarely. This was the original image I took Petrie's avatar from:

-
I've not noticed it but it is true, he's not shown very often up close alone. I guess the best shots of Petrie may be from the movie, great day of the fliers, or whatever it's called.
-
Well, some of you may have noticed that I've had this avatar for a while, but it's not working for me so it's up for grabs. Anyone want it?
(http://i203.photobucket.com/albums/aa146/tlordame/munch.png)
Oh, and if you want this or any of my other avatars, please download them and upload them to your own photobucket account and don't use the link provided here. You wouldn't want your avatar disappearing. Most of my images on photobucket are ONLY on photobucket, so once I delete them, they're gone for good. :p Wouldn't want that to happen. B)
-
Well, not to revive an old topic (though that sort of thing doesn't seem to have as much of an impact here, unlike most other forums), but, I call dibs on the eighth one in your first post, Austin!
Great stuff, man!
-
Need more Ruby's :P:
Well, I'm all glad for the one you sent me Austin, though I keep this one for a while. :^.^:
Good looking, nice work!
