Well...i can likely take another whack at it. It would be nice to make it all tie in to the signature.....so don't go too far.

but the gist of what I am working with

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


Let me think about this. Sorry I missed it when you first put it up. I didn't realize it was posted already. And here I have been sitting waiting for you.

I need to go to bed. I'll decide when I get up. Thanks. It looks good.

How do I get it to show the whole thing you sent?

There is only one thing about it that bothers me... the unicorn's horn is hard to see with the background of the NJ Devil behind it. Can you change the color to make the horn more visible? Or move the unicorn to the left so that the horn has the dark background?

If I can't show the entire photo, it won't matter about changing anything. I'll just use what I have. Don't put yourself to too much trouble with this.

I appreciate your time. Awesome!

Do you have any suggestions for a completely different avatar that would tie in with the signature? I like the zombie lady and the "whatever they are" things behind her. Any other suggestions?

The following are step by step directions on how to set your new Avatar, Background, and/or Signature image. There are glitches that occur if some things are done out of order and you have not had an Avatar set already.

Avatar and Background

1. Between these lines is a transparent Avatar. If you are using a new background, highlight it and click to save to your computer.

 





 

or copy the following code: h ttp://files.abovetopsecret.com/files/img/ut4e7bd94d.gif

2. On the top Navigation bar of your page click the "Tools" tab found here(note: if you are using the Clear Avatar code scroll down to the Avatar section and paste it into the slot, remove the space between the h and tt and click submit.




3. Then click the "ATS uploads" tab found here




4. Upload the new or clear Avatar and/or Background by clicking this button




5. If you do not have an Avatar already in place you MUST put the Clear Avatar in first or the background will default to the Avatar section and you will have to start over. Assuming you are putting in the Avatar, find it in your uploads and click it.



6. This will take you to its dedicated page. Click "Avatar"




7. This will take you back to your "Tools" page. Scroll down to find the Avatar section and click "Submit"




8. Next return to your "ATS uploads" page and click your new Background




9. This will take you to its dedicated page. Click "Profile Background"




10. you will be taken to the tools page again. Scroll down to the "Your Background Image" section and click "Submit"

Your new background is now in place. Please note that it will not show on your profile page, as only Avatars do, however you will find it on your posts.

Setting your Signature Image

There is a glitch in the images signature section and it will not set your signature image. Instead, upload it using the directions above. Click it and you will go to its dedicated page. Copy the "Use in Post" link (pictured above) and return to your tools page manually. Past the code into your "Signature" area and click submit. If you wish to have your Signature Image centered do not use the "Use in Post" code. Instead scroll down to the "External full URL link" code and copy that one(also pictured above) and paste it into your "Signature" area on your tools page. Then add to the beginning [astimg] and [/atsimg] to the end and then click "Submit". If you wish to make the image a link, treat it like a "Hot Link" (See example in the image below)

If you have any problems just post your question and one of the other members can help you through it.

Enjoy your new Avatar/Background/Signature image and thank you for stopping by.

Agarta

P.S. Please spread the word we love making new and imaginative images.

edit on 2-12-2012 by Agarta because: (no reason given)

I have another image that is more night time. Ill tweak the horn. It looks pretty nice....ill post it in the morning, more than likely.

To do something that ties into the signature would be quite easy. I need sleep, so iw ill do it tomorrow.

You guys need to pay more attention obviously.... (j/k)

It more than makes up for it stagnating about a month ago. I swear we moved like a page in a fortnight. If it weren't for BFFT and his avatar addiction it wouldn't have moved at all....

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


That's awesome!!!! I love it!!!


Thank you! x 100!

ETA: Is the unicorn's ear supposed to be lighter than the rest, or is that a glitch?

You can, if you get bored, but I love it the way it is. The colors blend extremely well with the signature, so I'm quite happy with what I have. The unicorn's horn is a little bright, but... hey, it rocks anyway!!!

(If you make another one, you may want to send me a U2U. I might miss your post again.)

reply to post by sled735


Another style to consider (more just for the hell of it....)



I didn't put the ATS is, more of a basic concept to see how close it matches your sig line.

Dark unicorn vs. dracolich. Yeah you can say it. I'm a nerd....

Don't worry guys! I'll be getting you some business very soon! You all are great... every one of you!

reply to post by 74Templar


You're funny! That's beautiful work!!! Is that a NJ Devil behind the unicorn? It's hard to tell.


Thanks for the suggestion, but I have a personal reason for liking the NJ Devil and the Unicorn as my avatar... and that's all I'll say here about that. You can find out the reason if you ever visit my thread.

reply to post by sled735


Don't worry you're not the only one who has seen weird stuff that just can't be explained. I have been reading through the thread at people's posts. All I can is there a hell of a lot more to this world than we as people understand or believe in.

Well, reading my thread ought to keep you busy when things are slow here! Enjoy all the fascinating stories being shared; they just keep getting better as it goes!

The more I look at your avatar, the more I like it, but you can't really tell it's a NJ Devil there. Sigh... I love that sparkly look though.

It's my bed time. Have a good night. I'm off to dreamland.

Thank you so much for thinking of me. I am flattered out of my mind . She is great I will take good care of her!

reply to post by Iamschist


Welcome.

If you want any changes (eye colour, etc.) let me know.

reply to post by sled735


i made the horn kind of glow. The result is the ear and other nearby parts bask in that glow. If you prefer, i can darken the ear.

reply to post by 74Templar



I'd call you a nerd, but that werewolf in your avi might not like it.

Very cool image.
