I thought we could use a wee place to help each other out with avvies. I have a gif animator im needing to practice on, i will make simple animated avvies on request.
Im also out to ask if anyone knows where i can get screencaps to The Prophecy? I really want a Lucifer/viggo avvie. _________________ I am no longer posting on the Forums. If you need me, I am lurking in the archives, reading and reviewing. You can also catch me at Demented Indigo! |

I can help as well ... after the learning experience I went through putting together my avatar, I can do them now in my sleep !
As long as they are simple animations, no problem!
Moralanqua ... your Thranduil pic is absolutely awesome .

I think that any pic would do... as long as you have a good host. I tried to host my current avs to geocities but it didn't work... and so I moved it into some company server and now did it work.
I used my Microsoft Image Editor to downsize them cool pics and turn 'em to avatars. _________________ }}}}}Life's a journey you unfold with each step.{{{{{ |

If you mail me the avvie you want (in frames/squares) i can animate it for you.
If anyone wants one made up, same applies. I need pics or links to pics, what size and what you want it to say/do. _________________ I am no longer posting on the Forums. If you need me, I am lurking in the archives, reading and reviewing. You can also catch me at Demented Indigo! |

You'll kick yourself, its so easy!
All ya gotta do it put your avvie onto a site like Angelfire. Then you copy the link and paste it over here in your profile section.
Gimme a shout if you need help or want anything made up.  _________________ I am no longer posting on the Forums. If you need me, I am lurking in the archives, reading and reviewing. You can also catch me at Demented Indigo! |

I'm thinking about changing my avatar to something a little more "Lord of the Ringish" But if I did, I want to use black and white fanart, some of it is just so lovely. I'd like several different images, like a slide show. Can anybody tell me how to do that? Thanks! _________________ -The Queen of Everything - so dubed by Aerin

I have to ask - what is that cow anyway? It looks like Mooby from the Jay and Silent Bob movie, Dogma.  |

BittenBuggy,
To do my animation I used Selteco Bannershop, you can download a free trial version ... but don't ask me where, because I don't remember ! Once you learn how to use the program, doing animations is quite easy, and if you're doing a slide show it really shouldn't be very hard. Let me know if I can help!
Mora,
Thanks! The pic I used for my avatar is actually from a t-shirt I have. I scanned it, and since the design was blue I used red filters to make it purple ... I knew that my avvie needed to be purple, it's my fave color! It really was tons of fun playing with it!
LuthienTinuvel,
Geocities won't let you hotlink ... I know by personal expericence, I also tried to post my avatar there but it didn't work ... oh well, live and learn.
Queenoftheshire,
have you tried posting it here?
http://www.photobucket.com/
They host your pictures and let you direct link. All you have to do is download it and then they give you the pic's URL, and then you just paste it in your profile under your avatar file. Does that make any sense? Give it a try, it's super easy (big thanks go to BittenBuggy for referring me to that site).
