odmicheal: Nice! I like all of them. They all are Bungie-related, so these would make great avatars on Bungie.net.
Thank goodness. I can't photoshop masterpieces because all I have is paint.

There´s a few freewares in a link above that are good. You can also download open trials of both PS and CD on their respective sites. Is that last avatar flippin´ me the bird btw?

The truth is I'm not exactly sure what a user skin is. But that's an awsome picture.

Photoshop is not required. I use Paint.net and it works just fine for creating images, and I know people who use GIMP. They aren't quite as good as photoshop but they are free, so who cares. (GIMP is essentially Free photoshop and Paint.net is a better paint.)

Hey, thanks. I might need these in the future, just in case I want to submit a few avatars of my own.

paint.net confuses me and I don't trust gimp (I got my computer virused for doing the stupidest stuff).

Ok so I used Paint.net blah blah blah now what do I do just save it as a JPEG and send it or do I need to save it some other way?

[Edited on 03.23.2008 8:09 PM PDT]

  • 03.23.2008 8:07 PM PDT

either save it as a JPG, GIF, or PNG, and email it to stosh.

It's been about 2 weeks since I re-sent my avatar images. 5 weeks for the first time I sent some in and I have yet to recieve a reply. How long does the evaluating process usually take?

Check OP
make sure you are sending them here
(this is new, not to be confused with bungie email)

  • 03.23.2008 11:43 PM PDT

There is no guarantee you will get a response, especially depending on the volume of traffic through that email account.

Photoshop is quite frustrating atm.

I got my idea already made in my mind but just can't get it right when it goes on screen.

took me forever to find the blending options.


I might just end of having to link my 3 ideas and have someone who has better skill finish them off for me.



EDIT - Ifound a video tutorial and now I'm cranking right along, only if I was worth a damn with the smudge tool!

You sure JPEG's and PNG's are allowed?

'Save as' and select the format, I know. That's not why I'm asking.

PNG's are the way to go for images with a transparent background, unlike GIFs where the image would be outlined with jaggy white pixels, PNG's make anti-aliasing possible between the image and whatever the background might be.
