BTS : Avatar Creations

Yes, I did squish four different forums into my signature space.

I'm starting a monthly "unofficial" ATS Anthology, so I just had to fit it in.

Sig space banners need to be 150x50 if you want four to fit.

Of course, if someone wants to purty this up:



*Ahem, bfft*

Feel free.

ETA: To round the ends, and put a border around the whole thing, well, that's a plus.

Thanks for that... I'll see how it looks!!

Looks better now its sharpened up but maybe a border would do it good though?? What you think?

go to your profile, and in the "Background" section, click the check box next to "Make background transparent"

I already did it before you posted!

Not sure about it. I may work on something else this evening.

Drats. Foiled again!

Hello, what a wonderful and kind thing to make avatars for others.

If I describe would it be at all possible to create one for me please.


A blue dragon surrounded in flames rising with wings spread, if possible to maybe have a caduceus with the colours of the 7 chakras going through it, and a crest of the tree of life on the dragons breast would be amazing, if at all possible, plus adding anything that inspires is always a benefit and artistic license I believe.

Many thanks

Maybe this'll do until someone can work all that up for you.

Thank you, amazing you huh, my skills on a computer just about qualify me to type.

That's nice, but just ok. It re-orders the forums.

I like the SS forum first, Debate Forum second, Anthology third, and Research Last.

The border matches my current avvy, but the colors are reversed.

I do like the slight rounding at the ends, and was thinking of having every banner with the rounded effect, and that way they can be switched around in whatever order. A smaller border would be fine, too, just something to set it apart.

I'll keep it like that for now, or until you come up with another design. I'm pushing for rounded, though, with a transparent background, of course. That'd help it to stand out a bit more.

That is way out of my league right now, I'm still learning. However, Agarta, 74Templar, and bigfatfurrytexan are well qualified to handle that request.

No worries, beggars can not be choosers hahaha, Love druids,


Unsure how to post pics, will get there, lets try again hey img.abovetopsecret.com...

reply to post by Druid42


Yeah, i reordered them to make sure that the rounding didn't screw up something like important text, etc.

I caught that the border was reversed after uploading it. Been a long week, and the quality of this was certainly not what I wanted it to be.

Would you be amenable to a redesign of the actual images used? Maybe clean it up, make it simpler? I think with the small size, simple may be just what the doctor ordered.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


By all means, feel free. I think you know the essence of the effect I'm after.

You'll get the hang of it soon enough. Keep practicing!

Here's a few good pics I made into avatars for nobody in particular.

If nothing else, it gave me a chance to try out some new GIMP brushes

That is awesome.

Thank you very much, love the flames such good blending.

reply to post by Zarniwoop


Brushes eh? I have no idea how to make fire. That is, in Gimp. I'll have to read up a bit more.

I'm learning as the need dictates, even without having a single artistic bone in my body.

Just had the idea for a cool fire breathing dragon background/avatar combo, with the flames burning down a house, and leaving the ATS logo. Ideas flow freely, I just need to focus on the Gimp skills a bit more.
