Custom avatars - FREE ON REQUEST - ask here!!!

Still, I've gone through and size/cropped the lot, (those black borders just took up space) and did some tweaking and uploaded to the officials - you don't have to upload oversized files for the forum to resize anymore.

[Buster's Uncle]

WELL-

I just spent several hours going through my general avatar folder, eliminating duplications and inappropriate stuff, resizing some that were too big, and generally whipping it all into shape.  There are now 785 avatars added to the generic installed category (though I'm going to try to find all the Star Trek stuff and move it to its proper place) - lots of geeky goodness from years of making these things.  There's a little Boba Fett, some Doctor Who, some Xena and Buffy and other shows, a bit of comic book stuff, all the kings of England and all the presidents and vice presidents of the US - go have a look; there's probably something perfect for you.

I tried loading an animated one, but it didn't work. So for now, I'm using Enya.

Question: Maximum size is 80x80? Do we have to resize before trying it here, or will the system resize it?

[Buster's Uncle]

80x80.  No need to resize unless it has a transparent background or is animated.

I can make an animated one work, if you want to post it...


-I think all the Dr. Who avatars deserve their own folder, don't you?

[Valka]

Absolutely. And how about the other Companions, besides Romana?

Also, Xena needs Gabrielle, Joxer, Ares, Aphrodite...

[Buster's Uncle]

No Gabby; she's a stupid person who thinks she's smart, which is my least favorite kind, and nothing I want with my escapist fantasy.  Xena/Herc-verse deserves its own category, but it would need more avatars than the less than a handful that aren't Calisto...  (Ares for sure; M tells me he was total eyecandy.)

[Valka]

Oh, he definitely was! (fans are divided between whether Ares with long hair was sexier than Ares with short hair; I prefer him with long, but the actor was wonderful eye candy either way!)

[Buster's Uncle]

He was an okay actor, too, which those two shows didn't get a lot of.

I've made the Who category, and am filling it now.  Definitely need folders for US President/Vices and for English Kings.  Make it that much less of a slog to go through the misc. avatars by well over 100.

[Valka]

Here are some Ares pics. Sadly, the actor died years ago - I think it was an on-set accident of some kind.

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, I guess that means there's demand for a dedicated Xena category.  I'll knock those pics together into avatars when I've got the Kings and the Presidents sorted.  Already started on the Kings...

Any Joxer, Autolycus, Aphrodite, Gabby?  I think there's one of Herc in there, nothing of Iolus, and one of Xena...

[Valka]

I found some Iolaus. The last one is Michael Hurst playing the part of Madame Twanky, in the episode where Hercules learns to dance.

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay.  Both Monarchs and Presidents are done - except the last two presidents are missing.  I'm gonna fix that, then start a Xenaverse folder.

Buffy?  Red Dwarf?  I've got a handful or so of each - and there's plenty of Buffy/Angel character I haven't done...

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay;  I'm caught up on all that - I believe I'll make a category for TV & Cartoons, and throw all the Buffy/Red Dwarf/Andromeda/Cowboy Bepop/Reboot/Futurama-type stuff in there...

[Buster's Uncle]

Okay, I think everything's arranged to my satisfaction.

I'm done at least until somebody asks me to do something...  Who companions and Xena/Hercules characters are in somewhat short supply, and I've not even begun to cover all the SF stuff that interests me.

[Valka]

I can find the Companions. It won't be until tomorrow, though, since the new season of Survivor starts in a half hour.
