Gamertag - Rdog 11

Call me Rdog, not RdOG or RdOG1507. I made that username when I thought it was cool to use alternating capital and lowercase letters...

Do we submit them to the e-mail address given, or do we post a link to them here?

Or you can download IrfanView for free. Either way's fine, but I'm assuming that a local program will do a better job of shrinking the image.

I'll just give a link to them and e-mail them.

(My First time ever submitting anything for use as an avatar.)

Looks pretty cool, if only it wasn't cut off at the bottom and the left.

You need to crop the image at the same aspect ratio as the user skin so that it isn't stretched. For example, if you use the entire width of a 1920x1080 screenshot, the height must be 553 pixels, will will result in a 902x260 images when resized.

Also, the user skins don't have to be GIFs, only avatars, so just make it a JPEG.

Yeah, it's Fred (I think) from the cover of the Cole protocol.

I had to cut it to make it 90 by 90 though>.<.

Nice. The only, and most common, problem now is that the snow will conflict with the member info text below their avatar. Consider adding a dark gradient on the left hand side if you have a suitable editing program.

Really good start, but it needs to be a lot darker. Like 7 times darker.

It is okay to post them here after emailing so other people can see them, right?

Wow that's awesome. I never really liked animated avatars because they were too much of a distraction. I wouldn't want to see a whole page of just spinning Ghosts.

Nevertheless, good job.

Why do we fight? To protect home, and family. To preserve balance and bring harmony. For my kind, the true question is... what is worth fighting for

Dang it, I just realize it kinda skips at the end, you can't tell in that, but you can here better. Just look when the Ghost is facing about 90 degrees right.
