Avatars by Request (by Mechanic 32)

Oh no, this image is fine. In fact I am already 90% finished removing the black text.

I am also going to resize it to 160 x 320 pixels, as right now it is a little smallish.

Perhaps a bit of touch up work to bring out the details a bit is in order as well.

What do you want in the text? Your username, or..??

The logo, top or bottom? And what color for the logo?

my username is a tad long so i was thinking THE KING in big fancy letters on the top and for the ats logo the bottom would be nice in a kinda silverish and blackish color to it

if im being too vague lemme know

Okay, I'll work it out.

Here is where I am so far. I still have to bring out the details a bit ( I'm thinking of sharpening the foreground figures a bit, and blurring the background. Should look good that way) and clean up some leftover .jpg compression artifacts a bit more, before I add text, and logo to it.

Okay here is the result...


If you decide to change your background color, the color at the top of the avatar is hex color code "fffdd3" and for the bottom color, it is "100c7e". Would probably look better with the bottom color blending with the background, imo. But that of course is entirely up to you, as it will cost 250 points and I see that you don't have a lot of points just yet.

wow mechanic its wonderful but fro some reason im having issues uploading stuff to my upload space

Okay, what seems to be the problem?

You can always use the image url itself, and enter that into the "Avatar Url" box.

To do that, right click on the image, go to "Properties" and copy the url there.

Then paste into the "Avatar Url" entry box.

Your'e welcome!

its wonderful better than i hoped for

I told you that you wouldn't be diappointed!



If you ever find any other decent images you'd like to use as an avatar, let me know. The bigger the better. At least 160 pixels wide x 320 pixels tall. But of course, don't swamp me with requests.

and now i feel like an idiot i just remembered where the original pic was and i have it :bash::bnghd: JEEZ!!! sometimes i amaze myself with my stupidity

Great! Upload it to Photobucket and send me the link.

And sometime later on I can make an upgraded version of your avatar!

Avatar upgrade for adamisthespacepirateking...

I'm glad that you like it. I was trying to do something similar to that with the first image I worked on for you. (The results were less than fantastic at best, and kinda crummy at worst - lol)


But got much better results with the higher resolution source image.

My latest animation. Just under 75kb, whew!



I wanted to do it a little better, but had to limit how many frames in the animation, as the colors are already down to 64.

But it was fun creating it, none-the-less.

A quick touch-up (better blending) on this avatar for galm 1 (not my original design- just rework)


This one for angel_crush via u2u request from mum, AccessDenied...


^Just a crop and resize, and added name and logo.

And my latest signature, inspired by the signature I had made for chissler and thelibra...



edit to change image - wrong one...oops!

Hi Mech, I am so amazed by your artistry. I am leaving on vacation for a few weeks and will be back. I wanted to ask you to do a special one for me. What I have in mind is an angel with blond and brown kind of highlighted hair (like mine) long and flowing. She has to be a little tattered and torn. Now I would like to see some flowing water like waves crashing gently with fire somewhere too. Then an armada of elliptical ships leaving in the distance. She will have a rainbow or crystal colored tear flowing down one eye. Let me know ok? Thankyou Antar Btw my spiritual name is Ma antar rishu it means divine mother of the inner flame. In other words denying ignorance of the soul.

Okay, so far...

Now I would like to see some flowing water like waves crashing gently with fire somewhere too.

Do you want this animated? If so, it would have to be either fire or water, to reduce the amount of colors used. Using both red and blue, when the image is compressed, the quality will not be very good. Just so you know...

Then an armada of elliptical ships leaving in the distance.

What exactly are "elliptical ships"?? I have never heard that term before.

She will have a rainbow or crystal colored tear flowing down one eye.

A clearish tear with a possible rainbow hue? Very hard with animation, but I will see what I can do.

I'll be scouting for images.... I have a few already on hand (angels), so it won't be too long...
