my own custom avatar ...

No Chimps?

 

how do i make it Transparent .gif format (must blend into background)? and for some reason when im editing and my picture is 32x32 it looks a lot smaller than the icons in the forum...

edit: none of my pictures seem to fit 32x32...anyone got a picture of a FOB? note, this would not be racist as i am asian...something with a rice hat preferred!

hmm... I have a scan of my drivers license photo, looks like a mugshot. Think that would make a good avatar? . I used it for my armpatch in rogue spear...

Hiya,

Been mad busy, haven't been able to finish my icon searches. .

I will look further probably tomorrow night. A chimp or monkey shouldn't be too difficult.

As for a 'fob', can you be more specific? What should this look like? .

Lastly, as far as a mug shot, I guess that would be okay without the transparency, but I do prefer them to blend. Do you have your mugshot in .gif instead of .jpg? Might be able to blend the background, but keep your face. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Fob: I tried adjusting them, but you're right. They just don't look right, they're not equal in width and height, so that can be a pain in the ass. . If ya have any other ideas, lemme know.

I find the easiest way to make something transparent is as followed :
1) use photoshop (DO IT!)
2) use the pencil tool(for small images like this atleast) and use a bright, easy to see color that is NOT already in your image to color in all the areas that you want transparent
3) goto File>>Export>>Gif89a Export and select the color you chose (in indexed color mode)

of course there are other ways of doing this but this will do the trick .

No taz so far?

I have found using PSP is easiest (for me) especially making things transparent.

 

Taz: Done.
