...and silent's is cool too, i wish i knew how to animate that lightning like that...


Animating isn't that hard. It's hand-drawing the lightning, and making it look convincing that's a -blam!-. I also wanted to emboss the marathon logo, making it look metallic, but that tipped it over 20k...

well im supposing then that you dont use adobe image ready or photoshop, cuz they have a option to optimize the animation, that reduces the image quality a little in trade for that extra space you need,....

it shouldnt be 20k for you, your design is solid colour except for the lightning and it shouldnt take up much..........what program do u use?

The one who your saying that was hand drawn was me. No I'm not lying....

I didn't draw it with a pencil, I can't draw a straight line with a pencil.

I drew a vector model of the elite. I might clean up my avatar a bit though, it's kinda rough on the edges. If you really want to see what I took my avatar from, it is from my vector elite model, see that here.

Coylter, if anyone is going to win I'll say it will be you, very nice avatar there! You all did a very good job, especially on some of those animated ones, I couldn't do anything like that!

And Apox aren't you kind of copying there? Ah well, it dosent matter :p

Okay, last time, I got pwned by the forum code...so lets try this again...

NOTE 1: I didn't pay attention to most of the text, and I just put the first I saw by that poster, I put it in the Submitted Avatars category. If I messed up, kindly PM me.

NOTE 2: If a link is broken, then there really is nothing I can do about it. I changed some of the urls of a webpage with the pics on it to the actual pic url...If that's what messed it up, I will try to fix it.*

NOTE 3: NABUIL, and Aluminumfoilman both suck** ;)

NOTE 4: Something is retarded, and spaces are being put in the urls. If a link doesn't work, then look for spaces in the url...that happens everytime I edit this post...so, be prepared for -blam!-ed up code after I fix urls.

I used image ready. When I reduced the quality, the embossing looked like -blam!-. (And it isn't all solid color, I tried to anti-alias the marathon logo and the lightning as best I could. and used a glowing effect on the lightning, that made it look like the background around it was lit up.)

fixed. You cant quote or edit this list. The forums are being retarded, and are putting spaces after every 70th char. I PMed Sketch about this, but I never got a reply.

well ur friend prolly didnt give u a original copy or a cd key that belongs to you only, a copy of photoshop 7 and its cdkey is worth around $640 (us dollars) i forget exact price i think it was 647............

adobe photoshop elements (photoshop for noobs) on the other hand sells for some where around $40 to $60....lol..........


why dont you take the marathon logo on the second one with the highligted edges and put it with your original lightning, the grouped lightning dosent look realistic.......... and make the the highlighted edges on the direction of where the lightning is coming from,....its just a suggestion so plz dont yell out "Well duh!?,. In not a retard NABIUL!................

ya i hate this idol science forum, theres soo many restrictions to things, not even smileys :(.................................................. omg it just cut my sad face in half!! :(
