ByWyzD Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Hopefully this is in the right thread. I see a lot of really cool avatars on here and wondered how some of you are creating them. I realize a lot of them are cut and pasted from other images or personal photos etc. but I also see a lot of really creative avatars that must have been created using some sort of program. For example I will see avatars that are a blend of differnt Rush components, album covers, rush pictures, logos etc. Has anyone found something that works really well for this type of thing? Thanks for any help you can give. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 my knowledge of photoshop was very limited when i did mine, but it was enough to do the trick. now i know a little more, but have a LOT more to learn. photoshop rocks. as a small example, recently i took this photo i found on the internet and thought was cool: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y268/rushgoober/collage1.jpg and changed it into this photo - even cooler IMHO!: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y268/rushgoober/collage2.jpg peace, gary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixey Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Apparently Adobe Photoshop is the best but I find tons of cool avatars all over the internet. And some people can be nice enough to make you a custom one, like they did with my sig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Test4VitalSigns Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 73 (1-0-0-1-0-0-1) was kind enuff to make mine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimique Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 *Sighs* I used the Paintshop pro 7.10 anniversary edition to make my little avatar...if it does what I want it to, that's all that matters to me! Photoshop (to me) ISN'T that great of a program...for the money, anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trance Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 So some of you here know a little about creating stuff like that? I'm interested in doing a banner for my sig, that's a combination of things. Test's picture, the NWW banner and a few other pics maybe. Does anyone know of a good program to do that with (besides photoshop, I don't have how ever much it costs these days ). Thanks in advance for any tips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pixey Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I wish I could help ya out but the person who made my Sig is on another forum, sorry its not a Rush forum. However he is quite good at it and there are many more on this particular forum that make sigs and banners. Let me go look up some things and come back. This place has a forum just for Art and a bunch of links to some free programs out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modest Man From Mandrake Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 I make mine from funny movie clips I find around the net. I have software that turns movies into gif files. I then use animation shop to tweek the size and the properties of the animation. I make em in about 3 minutes. If anyone wants an Avatar from a movie or cartoon or whatever. Just let me know and I'll be glad to make em for anyone that wants animated Avatars. I do a lot of graphic design at work doing web design and development. Just send me a message with your request and I'll be glad to make ya an Avatar up real quick. If you supply, or tell me where to download the desired movie clip that is even better. Tance I can hook you up with all the image software you will ever need for making web images, Photoshop, Paintshop, Corel, Gif Animators, etc... Just say the word and they are yours girl. Photoshop is awesome. Paintshop is awesome too and a little easier to use than Photoshop is for beginners. I'll post the software on my FTP for ya. Just let me know.
