If by some chance I were to become a thememaster, I would get a custom avatar. Can anyone show me how to make one?

When a mommy avatar and a daddy avatar love each other very much...

Anyway, there's not much to it. You take the image you want, and make sure it fits the size requirements.

Edit: If you are able to become a theme master, creating an avatar will be nothing.

Just an image editing program. Preferably Photoshop.

If you have Photoshop, how do you open it?

  • 10.28.2005 2:27 PM PDT

Making a theme takes a lot of work. You have to know how to create lots of images and make them work all together. Then you have to already have some knowledge of css and web color tables and how to edit text files. Then you'll need to know how to open a file using your web browser. It can often be very frustrating and a lot of trial and error to get a theme looking good enough to be accepted by Bungie.

If you're not sure how to open Photoshop, you should probably ask whoever installed it on your computer, or your mom or dad. If it was you that installed it, I'm guessing you should probably know how to open it. : /

Take a look at the thread linked above, and if you're still not sure, there's a good chance it will be very hard for you to make a theme, even once you get photoshop open.

-Quaere verum.

Got a report? Use the report tool or send a pm.
Chairleg Productions presents: 'Console Wars' and 'Games as Art?' (also on Halo Waypoint).

Gods Prophet proudly(ish) presents.. arguabl y the most basic avatar building guide in existance.

I appologise for some of the graphics quality. I didn't realise just how bad it would be as a gif file.

Please also note that this was made with Photoshop, but i assume the basic elements apply for other image manipulation programs.

Then you have to already have some knowledge of css and web color tables and how to edit text files.

Heh. Oh really?

Forget photoshop, real men use paint. It's only a 90x90 gif anyway. You could pick out what color you wanted each pixel to be and it wouldn't take that long.
