Why the long case?
Will this do?
Its perfect!
Could I trouble you to explain how this is done? The art of removing backgrounds is one that I can not seem to master.

I use Paint.NET in combination with the OldFeather-tool from this plug-in pack.
First I select the background that needs to go (Magic Wand with a tolerance of 32% usually does the trick or else the Lasso) and delete it. Then I use the OldFeather-tool to soften the edges at settings radius=1 strength=2 true feather=checked.

Is this from Drive?

Why the long case?
Yes.
I really enjoyed the "Scorpion and the Frog" tie in near the end, and thought it was cool to have such a mysterious character bring it up.
Thank you.

I need some help. A few of my friends and I are entering a gaming tournament and we need a team avatar.
I was thinking something like this:
Divided into 3 vertical segments with each of these from left to right (approximately the same size each; you can use this as a reference):
with a border and "Team IcarusGAF" written across the bottom? I know it's a big job, but it would really raise our morale. Thank you soooooooooooooo much in advance!
I hate to bump my own post, but the tournament starts tomorrow. If someone could possibly help us out, we'd be much appreciated!
What aspect ratio and/or resolution does the final image need to be?

The GAF avatar ratio would be just fine, thank you.
I started out on that, but then sort of screwed up and decided to go square instead. Unfortunately, the text didn't come out so well and I may give that another go later, but here's something if you're desperate:

You're the best.
Oh, I didn't realise you actually wanted to use it as an avatar... Glad to see the automatic algorithm to shrink it to size worked out OK.

Actually, I shrank it down to the maximum aspect ratio using paint. Thank you so much though; I could've never done this myself.
That's perfect, thank you!

Is this how you wanted the 3rd version?
I love them all...thank you very much!
Thanks! Amazingly quick! I'm going for the first.
Hey could i get an avatar of this
With the words "forever in memory" under the face?
You can use this pic too
Could i also get one with just a white background and letters in red in caps that just says "CANUCK WAS RIGHT"
If i could also get a B-roy one with "CANUCK WAS RIGHT" that would be great guys! Thanks so much!

How do you make a transparent background for an avatar? With my current one, I edited it in photoshop, deleting the white portion, saved it as a jpg and uploaded - only to see it added the white back in.
TIA

File > New.
Create a new file with the same size of the picture you want to edit. The catch is: make sure the 'BACKGROUND CONTENT' is transparent.

Cool. tyvm
Edit: actually that didn't work.

jpg doesn't support transparent backgrounds. Save the file as a png.

Fixed. thanks
That's the detail I didn't know (I always save my pictures in PNG)
So do I. I only figured that out when I was editing a jpg in GIMP and forgot to change it to png one time.
And with that, I finally fixed my avatar so it doesn't look like complete shit.
Before:
EDIT: You can really tell the difference when using the NeoGAF Pro Dark style.

So I tried something, and ended up with this:
I erased her hair out because there was no other way, but at least she looks good blonde.
In case you wanted an avatar:
Thank you! I appreciate it!
