Non-Foster's avatars

Awesome, I used to do the same thing for wallpapers. black and white 10x10 pixel picture looks kind of disco ball-ish as a wallpaper.

All nice avatars. I think my favorite one is either #23 or #21, which if i'm not mistaken is some kind of heart-shaped cloud.

#21 is just a cloud as far as I know, although it does have a bit of a heart shape. It was originally a thumbnail pic on Photobucket's login page. #23 is one of the parking lot lights at my local Price Rite. Anything can be photographed when you don't have to buy film; I've been known to aim the camera down storm drains, inside mailboxes, at random piles of dirt... yeah, too much time on my hands.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean about wallpapers; some pics I made with that method would work great on the walls of a dance club. With a little work, the method produces some pretty nice userbars, too.

I saw these briefly last night, but it was late and I was too tired to reply. But another great set Cass. I especially like that blue supernova heart, the one with the sunset over a green meadow (beautiful colors!), Milky Way, the magnetized pixel, the rose, the cloud and the planet (is that Neptune?). The kitty and the Quaker are both cute too, of course. Also nice to see Captain Jack Sparrow. I will forever love his line "But.... why is the rum gone?"

I liked number 6, the cyborg smilie face (or "Borg" star trek villain if I am not mistaken).

That might be cool to use if you didn't mind, nice assortment and variety Cass.

Cool stuff as always, I'm always on the lookout for rare and more unusual things (and TV shows) for avatars.

Help yourself, and yes, it's a Borg. I found that particular image while tracking down a somewhat appalling but nonetheless amusing story about the day when the Borg came to the 100-acre wood and assimilated Winnie the Pooh. Very strange story.

Got a few more random avvies, just for fun.



And a few animated gifs that I found out could also be avvies.



I like the last of the still shots, it's just a cool shot. And of course the kitty, and I got to admit that's a nice picture of downtown Seattle, too. Of the animated ones, I like the spinning rainbow-smiley button.

#5 looks familiar for some reason but I have no idea why. I'm rather liking #1, as I've always wanted to see the Space Needle. The spinning rainbow-smiley one is making me dizzy.

Great job!

No. 5 was originally animated but, bah, I'm not the biggest fan of Photobucket's new editing feature. It slows down all computer function, and just doesn't work like it's suppose to! I tried resizing it to avvie size, since I've done the same with other avvies, and it didn't hurt the animation at all. But this one, for some blasted reason, not only stopped animating but ended up smaller than it should be. I should try uploading it again after resizing it in Paint. It won't be animated that way either, but at least it will be bigger and you can see the picture better.

I haven't tried their editing feature at all. If I need to fiddle with a pic, I open Paint and get to work. For animated pics I use Microsoft GIF Animator as well.

[Lynnie]

I always use Paint too. For animated gifs I've used Photobucket, but it always worked better before they got their new editing feature. I miss the old way. Anyway, I just uploaded it again, so here's a slightly larger shot.
