kiwee Member Posts: 578 From: oxfordshire, england Registered: 04-17-2004 |

I still don't know if my avatar is cartoony enough if It isn't then I'll drop out cause I'm terible with graphics. I guess God made me better at programming. EDIT> You do know that the Signature war starts 7 days after the Avatar war (that would make it the 21st). ------------------ [This message has been edited by CPUFreak91 (edited October 21, 2005).] |

lava, that would be cool. I really didnt deliberately make my stick figure for an avatar. It was a pic i made in about 10 seconds to give my site some supporting content. I was ranting about LucasArts or ILM or something. ------------------ |

we can't vote on them since this board doesn't have voting enabled, i might, for the next AVATAR WAR, have a voting website or something |
Gamer4Christ Member Posts: 551 From: Kokomo, Indiana, USA Registered: 07-19-2005 |
Ah, I see... the reason I asked was because I thought... I think for the names contest, or whatever, you had everyone selec their favorite, and then someone tallied them up, and gave the winner, lol. so then it is all up to the judges? I'm fine with either way, I enjoyed making my avvy entry anyway, lol ------------------ |
kiwee Member Posts: 578 From: oxfordshire, england Registered: 04-17-2004 |
yeah, it is up to the judges, next time it might be up to a vote, (that means that everyone can join in) |

This looks like a cool comp. I will give it a try myself, can anyone recommend the best free software for creating a cartoony effect on a windows XP system? I think i'll just use paint and use a resizer from http://www.jql.co.uk/avatarsizer.htm. Hopefully that will do the job. ------------------ [This message has been edited by silicon_chippy (edited October 20, 2005).] |

download the GIMP. its free, and open source. I would say its photoshop level, but some may argue. its easy to figure out tho, so don't worry about that. ------------------ |
