BTS : Avatar Creations

reply to post by Dutcheagle



you know, its something i have done before. I am just getting around to blending layers and such Saw a cool tutorial somewhere a few months ago that i am just figuring out how to use (wish i could find it to reference again).

Quid pro quo: to save the time of using the pencil brush, sometimes i use the quick selection tool, then contract it by a pixel. Select inverse, then delete. It helps get rid of that obnoxious white line around image clippings.

I'm wondering if someone would like to make the water flow in my avatar. Maybe some nice soothing waves across the water.

It is against the T&Cs to have an animated background, only avatars may be animated and the water in your image is way below where the avatar sits. If you want it as an avatar, so it can be animated, it will be half the size it is now. If this is the route you wish to take, sure one of us can do it for you, but I personally wont purposely violate the T&Cs by animating your background image.

I bet you could have some lights in the windows turn on and off, they should fall within the paremeters of the avatar.

Just an idea

That's actually a good idea. I'd like to see a couple / few examples if anyone wants to take the time to do them.

For the Federation Lovers

screwing around with blending techniques, and manipulating gradients.



Thought i'd share.

Wow, I like that !!

And it is a 100% original piece of work.

It may actually look very good in my collection of avatars...
This is a style that I like.

I just wonder if the whole section below the "ATS" logo isn't perhaps upside down. I say this, because the ATS member attributes and ATS drop-down menu may obscure/hide the pointy bits of the picture.

Just my thoughts.

Edit to Add:
OK, I have added this to my avatar collection.
I hope you don't mind, BFFT.
