From what i did, that is the original.

I started with this gorilla: wallchips.com...

Help required
I've got up tto the stage of uploading the picture but when it gets to 100% it just stays there and doesn't do anything so now i'm not sure what to do.
I've waited for sometime and still nothing happens so slightly confused about what to do next.
Thank you

It's most likely your version of Internet Explorer. Earlier versions won't upload, such as IE9. You'll need to update to IE10 or higher, or go for Chrome or Firefox which both work.

I use Chrome, it is a lot faster than IE.

I have chrome and every now and then, it will freeze up...not sure if it's the browser or this old PC, but it won't let me upload pics either
So what I do is 'restart' the computer and everything is fine for a while
[I think it's one my extensions messing up in chrome]

Make sure your Java is up to date too

yea, if you're using IE, don't. The only thing its good for is downloading a different browser.

My work computer is 2 years old. I have only used IE to download firefox, and on ADP (our payroll system). It still runs slower than FF does.

Hello Everybody,

Holiday is over, I was back at work today.
Just wanted to pop in and say 'hi', and offer up two new avatars for hardcore conspiracy theorists.

This I call Ancient Aliens


and this one Atlantis.



Both up for grabs.
Have a great evening.

Hi Rainbow

Just finished my second in the comp www.abovetopsecret.com...

It's similar to the first but I had more time to touch it up better and mess with a couple more features

Hello Cody,
Wow, eventhough I'm in the competition too, I don't care, I had to star you for originality.
What a great idea to make it look like a chocolate bar.
Tipping my hat to you and your great creativity sir.

Your avatar today looks very mystical.



OMG, the smileys have mutated!!!
I'm stil not sure it's better but at least we have this:

Yay, new thread for 2014!

This has given me the kick up the bottom I needed to change my pic.

I really like your new avatar.
We must have a similar style.
I wouldn't wear strong colors that much, but I very much like them in avatars.
Kinda makes you more noticeable.

Very nice.

reply to post by Rainbowresidue


I like the style you enjoy, as well. It is very "fantasy". Dragons, fae folk...even the fonts. Good color choices, nice eye.

reply to post by bigfatfurrytexan


Thanks.
Even though I am a down-to-earth- kind of person, I do enjoy this type of art very much. Reminds me of Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales.
But my February avatar will be more Valentine's Day oriented.

I always love coming on here and wondering to myself " What kind of gorilla suit will BFFT be wearing today?"

Your creativity knows no limits.

Oh damn...I was going for blending in!

Oh well, next time.

I have mine ready for V-day (and a swank banner for the contest). I think Ill do a Mardi Gras one this year, as well. And an easter burilla.

I'm being very creative today.
Here's another one I just worked on. The last one for today.

Playing around with lighting.
I'm still kind of working on it a little though.


BFFT ,
I can hardly wait to see what you cooked up for V-Dday.
I'm guessing you know I will be going fae style again.

Are we racing on PS ?

reply to post by cody599


Yes, I believe I won, this time. Pure luck on my side.
I'm learning a little more about photoshop every day.

Oh, the smileys still have to grow on me but I do like some of them.

While browsing for images I happened upon this one and immediately thought of our Nat the blue eyed cat...with a little editing .

Add this one to your collection Nat.
