Title: The Official Signature and Avatar Request Thread

Those are AWESOME, Ramsus.  You've captured the very essence of the Lensman!  Thank you very much.

ZeaLitY, if you have any interest in science fiction, I recommend that you read both the Lensman and Skylark series.  E.E. "Doc" Smith defined the space opera.  The books are both exiting and intelligently written.  They are, however, quite dated, but were visionary for their time.


I shall add them to my 'list.' No matter how long it takes, I will eventually read them.

Well neat. If anyone's got the time, or the want for that matter (I know I'm not too well known around here yet). I wouldn't mind gettin' a sig (that would finally replace my currently crappy CC text from the Dead Sea) with Black Mage & his Evil and Atrociously Evil Sides (ala 8-Bit Theater). Y'know, something to finally go with my avy. I could grab links if they're necessary...Just want it fairly dark, evil...Probably with the words "Destroyer of Reality" or something creativly similer. I wouldn't be adverse to "Destroyer of Planets" either. I've used both as tags in various other forums. Heck "Boo-ya" would be another good one. My SN, small in a corner would also be nice.

Also, just since this is a custom avatars and sig thread (and because I don't want to clutter things with more threads). I was wondering how I am to go about contributing some default avatars for the site. I've got a few 8-Bit Theater avys (like mine) that used to be up at the 8BT site, but they appear to be gone now...Just wonderin' if there's an interest too I guess.

I need a much better signature than the one I have... I was thinking something like Kain's official art transluscent to a Chrono Trigger background; perhaps Guardia and Truce on the world map, with the words DivineDragoonKain is some form of flowery writing. =P No, I DON'T ask for much.  :D

I can take a crack at these, but not until late September if you don't mind waiting that long.

Y'know, I'd request something... though I really got nothing particular in mind. Only thing I could think of at the moment would be either Magus / Frog related... solo Magus... or Zeal influenced. Wouldn't have to be anything specific I guess, if anyone got bored enough to just randomly create, hell I wouldn't mind a surprise. Of course that may be asking too much. <_>

If I want my own custom avatar, do I have to gain permission before I can post it under my profile, or should I be able to post an URL for a custom avatar, and away I go?

I try to post an URL for a custom avatar, and it's less than 100 by 100 pixels, and a file size smaller than 5KB, but it won't post...

Anyone know what's wrong with this?

Post by: V_Translanka on September 13, 2005, 08:39:17 am
i may be wrong, but isn't the avy limit a bit smaller than 100x100? I thought it was closer to 50-60x50-60...but I dunno...Try making it smaller or something...

If anyone can, i weally want something better than my current sig. I want either any panzer dragoon or phantasy star background with the text Burning Zeppelin in fancy writing. For an avatar anything to do with darkness or fire :twisted:
Thanx

Here's the avatar I'd like to use, given in this link: (click here) (http://www.squaresound.com/forum/image.php?u=2430&dateline=1128794183)

It's 100 x 100 pixels, 3.73KB, accessed off my avatar on Squaresound's messageboards.

Oh cool, a request thread. *revives* I take requests too so feel free to dish them out, I'll try my best.

Post by: kennyj2003 on January 12, 2006, 08:01:28 pm
Hmm if anyone is taking requests anymore I would like a Lady Harken from Wild arms sig. Something like the artwork of Lady Harken and the sprite of her human form, Elmina on a cool reddish black backround.

I'd take your request but I kinda needs pics, I'm not too much of a pic searcher myself.

This is useful! This should be revived, again!

I will be willing to make new banners and avies for members. All they have to do is PM me about it. I thank OverlordMikey for presenting me this oppertunity, and reminding me of this!

If someone could edit my avatar so that the white background matches the horizontal line background pattern around it, and can get the lines to match up, I'd be very, very grateful.

Had to clean up the image a bit before making the background transparent, but this should do.

What are the current Avatar size limits? Looking at Z's I'm thinking there is none.

Yeah, it could have just been a quote to answer a quote, but I figure Gray deserved some props for having already answered the question. 8)

EDIT: Yeah, I didn't see ZeaLitY's new avy before I wrote this, so I didn't know that his was over now...

We were considering allowing 90x300 avatars, at least for news posters, since it would've looked badass with the old layout. But then we changed the layout.

BTW, the new theme is cool.
When I first saw it, I thought my browser failed to load css files, but then I realized it was a new theme.  :P

It's even cooler if you have an Encyclopedia account. All the wiki editing and management functions are integrated into the new theme on the right side, so you don't have to use a separate theme or anything.

I'll take requests of people so long as they aren't crazy and you're not bloody picky as all hell...

Be sure to send reference photos of things you want featured :D

 :D FIRST!

I used to make animated avatars for folks here too, but now I just can't. How time flees are grasps!

I'd like a signature, but in an attempt to not be picky I'll give you choices. Feel free to pick one of whichever theme and quote that inspires you.

Characters
  • Bartimaeus, from Bartimaeus Trilogy
  • Sherlock Holmes (the awesome one; perhaps from Benedict's "Sherlock")
  • Flea (Chrono Trigger, but more evil and ruthless, twice as insane and maniacal)
  • King Zeal <---- Goes without saying.
  • King Janus Zeal (if Janus became the next King)
  • Johannes Faust (from Marlowe/Goethe's stories, but the younger version, beardless)
  • Pierre (Chrono Cross), or "Glenn and Cyrus (Chrono Trigger)"

Quotes
  • Everybody is special. Everybody. Everybody is a hero, a lover, a fool, a villain, everybody. Everybody has their story to tell...
  • You say that I have no power? Perhaps you speak truly. But – you say that dreams have no power? Ask yourselves, all of you, what power would hell have if those imprisoned here could not dream of heaven?
  • If I were assured of your eventual destruction I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept my own.
  • There is nothing more stimulating than a case where everything goes against you.
  • "I've destroyed demons with real power!" Kitty cried. "Think I'll be impressed by an overgrown chicken?"
  • Can you define "plan" as "a loose sequence of manifestly inadequate observations and conjectures, held together by panic, indecision, and ignorance"? If so, it was a very good plan.
  • As he blundered about, roaring with discomfort, setting fire to the leaves about him, the little girl squealed and ran. It was good thinking: I did the same. Only without the squeal. Obviously.

I need to learn animation...

Question: Did you like the King Zeal drawing I did, if so what version (beard, no beard) cause it goes with the design I have in mind.

And I love those quotes... how big are you thinking? :)

Okay, I know this is PhotoShop 101 but how do you resize sprites in Photoshop without them becoming rasterized?
Title: Re: The Official Signature and Avatar Request Thread
Post by: tushantin on February 03, 2011, 01:17:02 am
LOL I thought in Photoshop things are raster from the start? Hmm when it comes to sprites, Lysa's best advice would be select certain pixels and shift them as you'd like rather than resize automatically. Well, that's if you wanna shrink em. If you wanna enlarge them, then the best method would simply be to remake/trace a larger one. Yeah, sprites are difficult to handle...

As for the size of the signature, I'm thinkin 100 or 200 px in height. Proportions being 1/4 (width being four times the height, but no strictly as much, just whatever you're comfortable with).

XDDD I think I'd stick with beardless, since that's the most popular one as of now. Yeah that art would rock!

When you resize, look at the options. It probably says "Resample Image:" with a drop box that says "Bicubic (Best for Gradients)", change the drop box to "Nearest Neighbor(preserve hard edges)". Voila!
