I do want to ask: how do you use Photoshop to make animated avatars?

Might be able to get it to work if you take out every other frame.

I used Microsoft GIF Animator. Nothing fancy.

Made my avatar in Photoshop Elements 3.0, it was pretty simple. Animations aren't a strong point with me.

I got bored, so I took a screencap and put one of my own pokemon splices (a steel Eeveelution, to be more specific) and put in the text "Sweet n' Sour!".
Also, that red thing is actually text saying "And so, so cute...". It just turned out wrong.

I changed my set, it now stands as a testament to how crazy filters can get! All hail the filters!

Haha, that's cool. Very original indeed. Is it from "World Wide Wabbit"? (I can kind of see Mac's disgusted expression in your avatar, lol, I love that expression!)

And now that I've posted something here, I made my avatar a few days ago. The gold border is suppose to be "sparkling", but it isn't for some reason, I don't know what went wrong. I'm somewhat happy with it, since I love all things Edwardian, and tea too for that matter.

I found the picture online, uploaded it onto animated-avatar.com where I sized it, added the border and text. Since it's hard to read, it says "Color me Guilded!" for the Edwardian era, also known as the "Guilded Age".

Yup, it is. The siggy image seemed to have a height problem so Mac's face got cut off. I cropped it again and now his face is visible, but lost some of Frankie's hair in the process x.x You might have to refresh the image to get the new version

We have a "Rate the sig above you" thread around here somewhere. Uh, that's a hint, of course...

I used one of Sparky's screenshots, and added text in Photoshop

FamoKrishina · 12-09-2007, 08:47 AM

I drew mine.

I used The Gimp, since I don't have Photoshop or any fancy, expensive program like that. I've gotten comfortable with The Gimp anyway.
