Avatars
 

I figured with all the new avatars we should have a thread dedicated to sharing ours with the community. This will not only help the new folk who don't want to use one from the small collection stored on HDC but also anybody looking for a change. Just make sure if you post them they're able to be used on the forum and meet the strict requirements of HDC.


Edit: I guess I should have posted one to start but I don't have any...

2nd Edit: Found one that will work...

i'm sorry - i shouldnt post first thing in the morning before my coffee.
especially since i dont drink coffee

Nice, but it's too big, please make sure it meets the 150 x 150 <2.4 kb rule. ;)

I ashamed to admit I kind of sort of actually like that cartoon. The martial arts sequences are well done. Is it still on air or is it cancelled?

I never even tried watching it. Anyone notice my new avatar?

That's one of the reasons I started the thread. I noticed how cool yours and ChronoGirl's was and thought we should have a place to post nice avatars so new members have a better selection to pick from. It would be better if there was a way to submit some to Horror to add to the basic list but, well, you know.

thanks. I think I'll make a few for other people. I use paint.net to get them the right size.

those two might be quite good. I like the lucifer one. A decent size as well!

I'm not sharing mine :D

That one is pretty awesome. Where's it from?

Art of the Devil 2

Watch 1 and 2, they're great Asian gore flicks.

I'll add those to my Netflix queue. Thanks. :)

Let me know what you thought, I really enjoyed them.

how do you make the file size small enough without downgrading the picture quality too much?

I use photoshop and the "save for web" function and then optimize the file by finding a good balance between picture size and quality. There are also some free pic optimizers out there but they don't give you as much control.

The lucifer one needs to be a bit smaller I think, it's height was something like 192 pixels (150 max). Other than that they look great.

ok I tried and I failed..... I don't know how to make them a decent size without being more than 2.4kb... they are too small when im done with them.... wtf.... I was wondering if anybody could make one for me. if I posted the picture i mean. I can't figure it out.

I could try whenever I had the time and FC AND _V_ are both great at reducing the file sizes.

Well if somebody will, heres the image....

I'd like to have it cropped so that its just the head of the screaming zombie. thats pretty much it, I keep trying to do it and its either the wrong file type or its too big....

Here's a couple quick ones, I tried them both out and they fit just fine. Let me know if either will work ok... at least until somebody gets a better one done. :)

Let me know if you like the first or the second and I can email the file to you. If you upload it directly from your pc it's 2.38 kb but if you look at the photobucket size it's a little over the limit.

Thanks man, gimme a minute to see if I can use one here.

Edit: Nope, it did not work, you fail. j/k but yeah, they didn't work, it said they were too big(2.5k) and when i tried to resize them it changed them to an invalid image file or something. Thanks for the help though. Did you try actually uploading them into the avatar thing to see if they worked?

Yes, like I said if I e-mail the file to you it will work, I sent it to my yahoo mail at work and it worked fine... see?

:eek:

Someone ate the evil puppy...

can anyone convert this to a decent file size?
thanks.

Maybe this one? This one seems to be fine to download and use, doesn't have to be e-mailed like psycho's will if he wants them. I hate that they add that little tiny bit of extra coding so files that are right on the brink are pushed over.

you the man. thanks.

Ok sorry... I didn't mean for you to kill the evil puppy.... But yeah... would you email them to me? I'll send you my email in a pm

Alright, PM me and I'll send them to you. I was just getting rid of the evil puppy until you saw that yours worked. :)

god sorry, the freaking computer died on me, so I went to bed, and just remembered.

nevermind.....

Sweet, it worked that time,thanks dude. And in the words of mothman.... You the man. Thanks dude.

Anyone want a picture shrunken down. I use Paint.net to do it. It's a good programme for doing that. If anyone wants to download it but need help I'll be happy to assist.

how do you do it, i use p.net too...i did it one time with my avatar now but cant figure it out again..

Dude, Psycom5k, where is your sig from?

That picture... is... fucking amazing.

First, it has to be a picture you have saved from the internet to do this. You can't have done anything to it in microsoft paint or anything, so that makes cropping a problem. A problem I haven't been able to solve yet. but anyone, you open the saved picture, click image - resize. From there you change it so it's less than 150 X 150. You then click save. A thing will come up giving you the option to shrink it down in K.B. It makes the quality worse but oh well!

my new one is pretty cool, did it in paint... yup :cool:

thanks alot man:)

i made a few..
