    Can do! It won't take too long. I will also remove that black lining on the top and bottom. That is there because all game cutscenes have them. I will take that off, too. I made it 100x100 because I thought that was the maximum size that T-A would allow... But I will have it done as soon as school is over (for the day, I mean).

    Dragoon, I think you should have an avatar from Star Craft, of a Dragoon. There is one cutscene where a broken dragoon is walking near a Terran base camp, and they blow it up. Then, a bunch of dragoons teleport into the camp and blow it to smitherines! I could get you an awesome avatar of that dragoon that blows up the sergant.

    Also, I will say it again: If anyone wants, I can and will make signatures, if they are relating to one of the above games. Signatures can and will be larger then the avatars, and will be able to have more text and special effects installed on them. So, if you can't have and avatar, but still want something from one of the games, ask me for a sig, and I will make it for you.

    Okay, I think I'd like an avatar... Actually 2 (same one, but 2 different sizes).

    I'd like one of the animation of an Arcanum male elf in a smoking jacket and shooting a bow, if that's not too difficult...

    I need it in 120x120 and... the other one is limited to 100x100 or 20k.

    No name on it please.

    If you can do this, then THANKS! :)

    Okay, Dark Underlord, here is what you wanted:
    [​IMG]
    I couldn't make it 120x120 without distortion (I'm talking about making it look really skinny. It has to be a little wider then tall because of how it is made, it isnt square.).

    Dragoon, here are three dragoon pics that you may like:

    Dragoon walking (seen with night vision, and the background repeats itself)
    [​IMG]

    Dragoon warping (you can see a little arm in the lower, righthand corner. I couldn't get it out, but it is hard to notice, so don't worry about it.)
    [​IMG]

    Dragoon warming up beam (this one is flawless, no distortion, OR any unwanted scenery)
    [​IMG]

    Well, there they are. Like them? I suggest that you keep them that size. I could re-size them if you really wanted me to, but they are in a size that is small in size (memory), but can still be clearly seen and has NO distortion.

    This one is up for grabs. I did it just for fun.
    [​IMG]

    What do you think?

    Also, I will get those avatars for you, Luchaire. I should finish it tonight. If not, I will get it to you tomorrow morning.

    If anyone noticed, I made Slug Bug a signature.

    Hmm... Well, yes there is. I could make a number of screenshots and then put them all together so they move. Is that what you want?

    I leave it in your capable hands! I just think it needs movement... or something :)

    Ah, yes! I forgot your name, didn't I? Well, how about some kind of moving name stamp?

    Since it's for an avatar and not a sig, I think a name stamp would be a little redundant. I would *really* be interested in seeing if you could get the "bow shooting animation" captured. I could probably capture enough screenshots, but I don't know how to edit them or combine them to get the animated effect :(

    (not to mention that Arcanum is currently uninstalled... shhh... don't tell anyone!)

    If this is too much work, ne'ermind. I don't want to be a bother...*












    *okay, I'm already a bother. I don't want to be a bigger bother.

    Mmmmmm... Nice work, nbrosz. Could you get me something from Deus Ex? Possibly Jaime Reyes(?) or a sneaking JC.

    If not, just grab me a hiding pic from Thief 2.

    Nice.

    Al, that's a nice avatar you got yourself there. BUT ARE YOU EVER GOING TO LET ME GET THE HIGHEST POST COUNT HERE OR WHAT? It's freaky that you timed your comeback just as I was closing in...I would have passed it already if not for the posts lost by Sector 31 and the other moves.

    Damn them to hell.

    Oh, don't fret. I won't be doing much stuff here, I think.

    Try a GIF editor. I dunno if ImageReady and Flash can do it.


    I always thought Jar was the guy with the highest post count. Who's friend_al_23? I've never seen him before.

    I use Fireworks. Real easy to get the hang of, but it costs heaps. Or so I've heard - mine's burnt :razz: .
