How to make an avatar?
« on: July 21, 2011, 11:34:26 PM »
I think it's time I got a new avatar. I was wondering what program do you use to make animated avatars like the one I have now? (Had someone else make this one for me, can't remember who) I've google'd around and all the free ones are very limited.

Or is anyone is willing to make one, I'd like it to spell out "M-E-1-0-9" followed by a picture or two of 109's.

Paintshop pro dude...

It's fairly easy.  PM me and I'll walk you through it

That's what I used to make the one you're flying now.  :)

Or you two can pm me and I'll do the work for you.  It'll cost you though ;)

Thanks for the one I've used until now Dichotomoy. I'm broke, can I pay in perks? I have thousands of those.  :D

When I get a little money and can buy Paintshop Pro then I'll be sure to pm you with when I may need help.

Quick and easy way:

Take a jpeg and turn it into an 80x80 avatar: http://www.shrinkpictures.com/

Take a series of 80x80 jpegs and animate them:  http://gifka.com/
You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
