  • I need an avatar

    I see so many spiffy avatars here, and I feel ashamed I dont have one but I suck at computer graphics ...

    Any suggestions?

    I love peacock feathers, and rammstein, and cooking, and horror movies/novels .... ok, and lolcats

    To gain an avatar you must journey across the land and gather 8 companions who each represent one of the 8 virtues. While emodying the virtues yourself. Then you must pray at each shrine and once that has been completed you must journey into the underworld and seek the codex of ultimate wisdom.

          Find a picture you like online, save it, size it down to meet the requirements, save and upload. Some people at DeviantArt have animated avatars that they offer for free or minimal charge.

                *Five* unrelated interests in one 100x100 or smaller icon? OK, but it won't look good...

                Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed.

                      I make my own avi's.

                      But I have some suggestions that might help you:

                      I like Iconator- yes, there are a lot of stupid/crappy avi's there but there are also a lot of really good ones. You just gotta dig around.

                      If you find a pic online you like you can use Shrink Pictures.com to turn it into an avi.

                      And, in a bit of shameless self promotion... some of the avi's/backgrounds I created- all avi's are 100x100. There's a couple hundred there at least- ignore the Sims2 pics . Oh, and they aren't really pixelly- Picasa makes them bigger for some stupid reason. Just use the slide bar in the upper right hand corner.

                        I have some pics of an albino peacock somewhere. Hell, I think one of them used to be my avi here.

                          I wish people were as devoted to one of my avatars as I am to yours.
