The first part of this isn't necessarily a request to make an avatar, but moreso a request for ideas about an avatar. Now, I love me some FF9, but my avatar is just plain boring and I dont quite like it. I've been racking my brain trying to find something that encompasses both "Dave" and "Dough" in one collective image.... animated or not, and I'm drawing a blank.
I understand this is beyond the norm of what people are doing, but I wouldn't mind something that more closely represents my username.
If that's out of the scope, then my other request is to somehow animate the one i have now. Here's the source:
Now, I was thinking of trying to spin the circle at his feet around or make the flames look flamey through some type of animated process that is beyond my basic grasp of photoshop. If either are too difficult, I fully understand but appreciate all input.
