Title: Avatars
Post by: Isu on June 05, 2006, 12:56:25 AM: The same unpopular topic, Reborn.

Keeping with the funny images theme, If anyone wants to end their lives and can't quite decide how you want to do it, just pick up this book from any good bookstore! Only ?19.95!

A much clearer version is available here (http://www.photobucket.com/albums/1003/ESR_balla/5efd401c.jpg):

I'm so cheap, I just took the little icon from the LF logo and shrunk it down.

I liked the other one I used; it was some circles that look mesmerizing, but I had to change it.

I love home made avatars :)

I like my new avatar and it was very difficult to get.

I first spotted this (it just scrolls past for about 1/2 a second) in the flash "Geeks In Love" that my friend sent me. So, I downloaded the SWF and imported it into my copy of Flash (and it took a good 45 minutes -_-), found the frame, and copied it out. Then, I made a new file and pasted it in. I rotated it back to flat (it was a sideways picture on a bulletin board in the movie), then used the Export to Image function to make a larger version... 300dpi to be more specific. Since Flash movies are vector, I could make it as big as that. It's equivalent to 4000x2000 or so pixels.

Then I used Paint Shop Pro to cut out a section of the picture and downsize it to avatar size, and now it's here! Whew! If anyone wants the original 300dpi export, I could send it to you-- it's 20 MB (holy crap!) as a BMP and still 500kb in PNG.

Post by: Isu on June 22, 2006, 09:06:35 PM: I changed mine into a Tetris Attack Screenshot of 6-08. It's a level I used to hate, before I solved it.

This is in place until I find a better avatar.

Post by: Timballisto on June 23, 2006, 04:48:51 PM: I think my solution to boiler room was a lot different than that...

EDIT:? Changed my avatar, and the file DOES exist, but it's not showing up...

EDIT2: Okay, so it only likes gifs. Whatever the case, it has returned!

Post by: chaos_defrost on June 24, 2006, 04:47:20 AM: Just a completely random picture I had on my computer, that's all.

Post by: EvilWeevil on June 24, 2006, 12:13:34 PM: Mine is a picture of Rakdos The Defiler, a pretty good Magic card (trading card game for those who don't know). I might change it, though it does look pretty cool.

Post by: Liebatron on June 25, 2006, 12:36:29 AM: I basically searcched my computer for stuff, then picked a picture out. I made this from scratch in photoshop 6.0. As for mny signature, it really is a good question that even I don't know. Who is that guy?!

Post by: Lemika on June 26, 2006, 07:02:26 PM: It's just not the same when it's no longer 'Avatars ... intresting fact', complete with typo and 74 pages. XD

Anyhow. I haven't really drawn any more Lemmings-related stuff since the last time I changed my avatar, so it's the same. I can't entirely remember that this was supposed to be, but I think it was pretty much random. It works for now.

Post by: lomay on June 27, 2006, 10:27:29 AM: mine is just "evil ed"? :wink: (do excuse the creepyness and evilness of my avatar).
Title: Re: Avatars
Post by: Isu on June 28, 2006, 07:00:11 PM: I've just reverted back to my old avatar off the old forums.
I don't know why I seem to like it, maybe it's because it displays what I can do with a web browser.
Title: Re: Avatars
Post by: Liebatron on July 19, 2006, 06:14:37 PM: What does, everyone think of my avatar? I made it from scratch in photoshop as well as about 6 other things. I then randomly selected it from that bundle and a few others I made in paint. The signature, in case you didn't notice refers to the avatar.

EDIT: ISU, either I stole yours on accident or you stole mine on accident, but that is really a wierd coincidence, our avatars are virtually identical... :huh2:
Title: Re: Avatars
Post by: Isu on July 23, 2006, 01:47:22 PM: Yeah. Except I didn't make mine, I "borrowed" it from the old forum. on the profile screens of those members who did not have avatars, this showed in its place.

If it was stolen, it most certainately wasn't from you.

Post by: Liebatron on August 10, 2006, 11:44:47 PM: Ahh, I see. Whether you made it or not, do you grant that they are oddly similar? :undecided:
