Here you go.

Thank You so very much.

Okay, I attempted making this for myself but I think somebody here could do it better. I want it to look like my attempt (avatar i'm using at the moment), but with smoother outlines and general appearance. It looks a taaaaad messy at the moment... the lines are a bit disjointed and the colours not as blocky as they could be. If anybody knows what I mean and can improve upon it, i'd be really grateful. Thanks!

NOTE (things I changed): Removed text, rotated a bit so it fix 120x100 perfectly, changed blimp to light blue colour #6fb3ff, and got rid of Conan's beard (don't worry about this though as I already removed it from the large version! )

Someone give me an avatar of Sora, please?

I think your avatar looks great as it is. Things are going to be a bit blocky when scaled down so much. You could maybe put a small black stroke around the ship (ideally like a 1-2 pixel stroke on the original size one) to make it pop a bit more but really I don't think you need to change anything. You've done a good job =]

Do you think it's possible to put that small white symbol on Marcus' durag onto this picture of John Travolta, and then add the little crimson omen at the bottom (same side) as well?

Would be so awesome.

Rotating is always going to give you slightly off line thickness and so on. Also, it's best to choose a resolution which is an integer scaling of 100*120 to avoid issues that odd resolutions can cause. Here's my attempts at improving it:

Both used a 300*360 cropping of the original, unrotated image. I cut the text out, shrank it separately and overlayed over the image for the first one. I forgot to change the ship colour, but I like orange anyway and you can always just edit mine to redo that.

 

[Pollux]

EDIT: Can someone make my background clear/same color as GAF?

 

[Toppot]

 

[Pollux]

Thank you...looks great!

 

[randomwab]

Could someone help me out with this one, I have absolutely no Photoshop skill at all.

I want the characters from this as my cut out and where the background was be invisible, so the forum colours show through...if you know what I mean.

If anyone could whip this up, I'd really appreciate it!

 

[Oli]

Would someone be able to take this image:

http://www.fanboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/CharlieBrownThen.jpg

Make it black and white,
Edit out the stand thing at the bottom,
give it a transparent background,
and make it avatar size?

If so then thanks greatly in advance!

 

[Gintoki]

 

[Oli]

Thanks!

I'm really getting frustrated because I spent a long ass time making this avatar, I save it as a gif or png for it to be transparent, and it shows up with this f'ing gray background. Figures the most obscure shit always happens to me. The image is transparent anywhere else but when I use it as an avatar it turns gray for no reason. Here it is transparent.

<<<<And there it is with the stupid gray background. Does anyone know how to fix this?

wrong dimensions.

try this:

Wow, I didn't see that ^^^^^^^^^

weekend warrior you are the best, and I'm sure yours would've worked too orangecaramel. Many thanks to both of you. I had a hunch it may have been the image size (which I had stupidly mixed up and made 120X100 instead of 100X120). Question though. How did you guys resize it so easy? When I tried resizing it in photoshop, the sprite turned all blurry/fuzzy.

I didn't resize it, only cropped out the sides to make it 100px wide. If an image turns blurry/pixelated when you resize it most likely means it' was in "indexed" image mode. You should never be in indexed mode when you resize, always RBG mode. Not sure how to change that in PS but GIMP has a dropdown option in the Image tab.

 

[DJ88]

Derp, I can't believe I didn't think about just cropping the sides haha. I went back and checked though and it was in RGB mode. Here's some shots:


Original 120 x 100:

After resize to 100 x 83:

Any idea why it does this?

 

[oc]

Not sure.. All I did was open up the PNG you posted, used the select tool and selected only the character, made a new 100x120 document, pasted it, deleted the background (Layer 0/Background Layer) so it's transparent and then saved it as a PNG. Pretty simple.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Hmm, strange. I checked and the image opened in indexed mode in gimp. then when i tried scaling it it scaled cleanly. but after changing to RBG and scaling it it came out blurry. So maybe this is one time when scaling in indexed is better? I don't know why it would scale poorly in RBG though. I guess sometimes you just have to experiment to find the best result.

 

[DJ88]

Wow, you're right. It scaled perfectly using index mode in photoshop too. Guess i'll be trying both next time.

 

[Clipper]

Indexed mode will not create new colours, it will stick to the existing palette. When you have such a reduced palette like that image, when it needs to decide what a pixel colour should be after scaling, it just flops to one of the two existing colours that might be necessary for that spot rather than merging the two colours into a new one. Thus indexed is probably a better way to go when scaling sprites.

Edit: And DJ88, I'm just checking... you did understand that weekend_warrior cropped your image to the right size instead of scaling it, right?

Something like this?

Yup, I did. It was a much easier solution to fix my wrong size avatar. But I still wanted to know about the resizing because the original image/sprite I pulled from a screenshot was much smaller and did have to be resized larger to avatar size.

 

[LifEndz]

Could someone make an avatar of this and put a durag with a gears logo on it? Thanks in advance.

 

[Messi]

Can someone here take my avatar and put a small idris elba head sticking up from the bottom left corner?

 

[Toppot]

Just saw you wanted the gears logo, not just the dorag xD if you can pick one of the ones above you like and I can put the gears logo, or cog etc ontop or someone else can (Damn social life xD =P)

 

[Kermit The Frog]

Could someone make me a cool Kermit the frog avatar please?

 

[Clipper]

Use Google, find us an image you like, post it here and we'll crop/resize it for you.

 

[Kermit The Frog]

Could someone avatarise this and make sure to leave out the text at the bottom too, thanks.

 

[ResidentDante]

Like so?

 

[Gintoki]

Transparent background if you want:

 

[randomwab]

Something like this?

Yeah. Thanks so much, Fuzzy!

 

[Kermit The Frog]

Like so?

Transparent background if you want:

Thanks guys, I think I'll go for the transparent one.

 

[Narolf]

Just saw you wanted the gears logo, not just the dorag xD if you can pick one of the ones above you like and I can put the gears logo, or cog etc ontop or someone else can (Damn social life xD =P)

Went ahead and made a set of three with a red logo and three with a black one.

Feel free to request more specifically as for the logo, LifEndz.

 

[Finalow]

i would like to have an avatar from this:

only the guy to the left.

 

[Narolf]

 

[Narolf]

Just realized everyone make avatars at 100*120, so I enhanced the one you chose.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Could anyone try to avatarize this with a thin border of whatever color you feel would go best? I know it might be difficult because it extends horizontally, but I'm hoping somebody can try. If possible try to get as much of the guns in as possible.

Full resolution: http://image.gamespotcdn.net/gamespot/images/2011/264/920061_20110921_screen005.jpg

Thank you!

 

[Narolf]

 

[SamuraiX-]

I like this! Could you make the border thinner though?

 

[Narolf]

Glad you liked it.

I kept the black border as per your original request, but feel free to ask for a different color you may find more suitable.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Perfect! Thank you so much!

Yeah, I guess the black border goes the best. Actually, can I see how it would look with no border? Sorry I'm being so anal. lol

 

[Narolf]

Hell, I hear you, as I am also very meticulous when it comes to these things.

 

[weekend_warrior]

I think it looks best with a razor thin border

Or a negative space border
