Hehe, about 5 hours and 352 frames later!! It's temporary for now, I need to get rid of the outline so that the background will blend with the boards' background. Crap I just realized that means I got fix 352 images....*sigh*

Hey Knight try Imageshack I use it when I have problems uploading with Photobucket.

If you need a gif animator try Advanced Gif Animator

I'm not sure Im set on mine yet I might do some tweaking.

It's the wrong size.

its 60 x 80 smaller than is required but I couldn't get it 80 x 80 on photoshop

If I had any photoshopping ability, I'd put the MMOART logo by Phoenix Wright's head but I suck at things like that. Unless someone is kind enough to do it for me *angel halo*

Oh, right. Brain fart.

I got it to display fine for me. Make sure you're putting in the URL of the actual FILE. The link you put up earlier is to a page containing the file, not the file itself.

In order to make it 80X80 in Photoshop use Canvas Size.

Same for Fireworks... only I did mine at 300x300, then 'exported' the animation as an 80x80 GIF sequence... I think I need to pad the end of the loop with a fade to white though... or fade the background 'scene' back out.

Also... a quick and dirty way to turn a bitmap such as Jomaro's logo into something you can play with in Photoshop -- use Convert to Alpha. It'll keep the black (text) but change the white background to transparent... and then you can do things like add drop shadows, bevels, surface textures, etc.

My company just started blocking photobucket. I can only see 4* avatars in this entire thread. I'll have to check them all out when I get home.

*5 now! I can see my own.

Gotta say, guys and gals, that I'm loving what I'm seeing so far.

Mine is just a cut-an-paste quickie that I threw together with Corel Paint Shop Pro. Really wish I knew how to use these programs to their full potential.

omg, Rox, I am flipping out over that avatar!

My avatat was simple. I just took this cool looking font from photoshop added some flames to it then added the blur affect. nothing to complicated.


 

Posted

Hey. Here's my avatar! If anyone would like to see the full drawing, let me know and I will post it.


 

Posted

Here is my first ever Gif...

It's craptastic!

I made mine using Photoshop first then composed the frames sequence in Jasc Animation because its wizard makes it so easy. I used plain cut transitions because I find using fades and wipes really beefs up the file size. I also used some of Gill's artwork which I hope is ok for the rules.
