i guess somebody didnt like my richard simmons avatar

*EDITed by IFMU
Yup, you're right.
I didnt like it, along with a few others that I got complaints from. I was going to PM you about it but didnt have the time when I removed it. So, guess I am informing you now.

*EDITed by IFMU pt. II
By the way, if staff removes something, like the picture you posted, odds are it was removed for a reason. That doesnt mean to make it your sig.
Since I failed at actually informing you of the removal of the picture when I did so I am not giving an official warning or anything of the sort, just some friendly advice.

[Modzilla]

you got a complaint about richard simmons? geez, judging from all the tits and ass in peoples' sigs and avatars i didn't think it would be a problem.

[Modzilla]

maybe the extreme users of this forum will like these better

*EDITed* by IFMU

Have you read the forums rules and guidelines?

I would suggest reading them. They are on the top of the very page and are listed under the Announcements.

Read them, now.

I catch something that breaks the rules again and I will hand out an official warning, possible with a vacation this time.

mod I can guarentee you theyll be removed :P
but its nice will it lasts

[Modzilla]

ok, I'll be good. I felt like being an a$$h*le, but I'm better now. and yes, I read the forum rules. I'm sure those avatars found a nice home someplace...

[bebsie]

[XSAlliN]

Here's your Colonel Sanders:

[Sanders]

now how do i achive this so i can use it online

[bebsie]

you point to the image, right click it and then save it. BTW i've read in this thread that you need to credit the designer.

[XSAlliN]

I can do all the things you ask but the size would be to big for an Avatar (about 4 MB), so I did it my way - Started whit a Blue Butterfly, then comes the cocoon (the paper crumples, then gets back to BB splendor) and yes it moves.

[Sanders]

thanks for making my avatar and sig it looks great mabe we can get the {HKS Col.Sanders} in there somewhere on the top if not its ok but like to get my tags on the sig {HKS Colnel Sanders} with some 3d afects thanks alot you do great work also mabe a few bullet holes in the sig piercing threw the HKS Colnel Sanders



THANK YOU

[XSAlliN]

How's this:

PS.It's been 21 Hours of designing & editing - I need some rest

[Sanders]

i have a picture that needs some work to wondering if you could add the plane afect to it i think that would look pretty darn cool i 1942 willies jeep and had colonel sanders placed inside of it mabe some anamation to it also


Thanks Again
Sanders

[XSAlliN]

It's possible, but not easy - it takes a lot of time to get it right and honestly, I don't have any time for projects like this, sorry...

[Sanders]

thanks anyway youve dun enough i thank you again 4 your help i just dont have that kind of money to creat stuff like that but than you anyway

IHKSI Colnel Sanders

[XSAlliN]

You don't need money if you do it yourself - you need a lot of time and patience unfortunately I've used to much in 2006 - here I'l give you some hints.

I see you know how to crop a person from the picture above, you just made a wrong turn, here's what you need to do, search a Jeep with a soldier inside (even a colonel) and a picture of Sanders, crop Sanders head and replace the head of the soldier in Jeep whit it and work a little on colors, contrast and brightens to make it look real.

An animation is a little more complicated since you need to edit more parts, for a successful animation you could loose a day, happened to me - depends on how many things interact whit the envoierment.

[Sanders]

ok il work with that i was told i need about 900 to 1200 dollars in software to proform animation or better. i can make my danders fade and move sideways now im getting the concept ok great im new at this but il figure it out slowly now do i make each pic ture have movement befor i crop or do i just crop then anamate.

thanks again

There is a trial for testing the soft and that is free, about the animation, you could do it in different ways, for example when you pot the head move it in different direction and save all moves combine them in a .gif file and there you are, you just have to move it step by step so it can move like a movie, the only problem in animations of avatars is there Size, depends on quality and how complicated is done.

Bebsie here resized:

[Cantora]

you only need 900-1200 if you want to use it in a business :P
I think anyone can make animations.Get a gif maker and a $50 ulead photo impact and bobs your mums brother.
Or download photoshop cs2 trial for 30 days and play around with photoshop and imageready for a whlie till u get use to high quality work.

oh btw, hi ya'll. new to XS. from PlatinumTags so naturally sniffed this thread out straight away
will be happy to help make Av's:
(end post tags):




I like still work rather than animations but it's real easy to use a program like ulead (Basic but easy) and imageready (adobe pro) to make easy animations. tutorials are available almost everywhere you look...

[alejo]

ok, I'll be good. I felt like being an a$$h*le, but I'm better now. and yes, I read the forum rules. I'm sure those avatars found a nice home someplace...

Didn't get to see them, but I think your Chtuthu avatar is pretty cool.

[Sanders]

to xsallin you wernt kidding on how much time it takes tooo make thease animation and stuff ive found some programs for it but not sure what to get dont wnna spend to much until i know what i want ive been working with somethings i like this you may see some of my work somday thanks for the tips.

[oshox]

Love my avatar. It's so me, if I were in a cartoon.
Had to colorize the image, which I got from an old Shadowrun sourcebook, and I've never been able to get it to look right with the full-sized image. If any PS-pro's wanna take a crack at it... lemme know.
