It is indeed. For a while, though, I thought mine sucked. I guess we're both mistaken in a way, EastBeast.

Seeing as though this is an official thread now, I might as well post Mine.

Ignore the Angelfire ads and... and the Black Books avatars. They were for an LJ.

EDIT: If you didn't already notice, YES, I'm pushing for more old school avatars. Simply. Not. Enough.

Dang it. Putfile won't let me host an image without making an account now. It's never had a problem before. Stupid putfile. So, I've converted to Imageshack.

Send any avatars you have to 7themes@bungie.com

They, of course, must be 90x90 and also must be in GIF format.

For hosting so others can see it, I suggest using Putfile. Another possible hosting service would be Imageshack.

I'm sure you already knew about the hosting part and such, but others are curious as well.

I have a few, but since I didn't really do much I doubt they'll be accepted.

Super security guard

Ninjatastic

The TCTF grunt

A TCTF elite

Mukade.

Marathon juggernaut

Ha ha ha! Another MC avatar

The running man*

Da ODST*

The Big F*****g Gun

The rocket text at the top is a bit lopsided. This comes from trying to get the picture from an ingame marine who refused to hold it horizontal. Bastard.

I doubt anyone remembers the last time it was opened, even.

The TCTF Elite one is good, with Moderator in it, at least. XD The other two rejects aren't that good though. The rest, goodly!

Ok - a few more questions


* How do I make avatar-clips
* How do I make the blank parts of the avatar.....well...blank rather than white?
* Do they expect them to be in millions of colours or 256?

Avatar clips? You mean moving ones? That is done with either Macromedia Fireworks, or a crappy free program.

Blank parts are done wit - well, it depends on what you're using. Most later Photoshop versions support transparency. Otherwise, I dunno.

They have to be under a certain size, and they have to be .gifs. I think .gifs have a colour limit, so there you go.

I'm using a free version of GraphicConverter (OSX). BTW after I sent my 2nd email (with the extra stuff) I realised that when I converted the files to GIF they automatically went down to 256colours - I'm guessing GIFs are used so much on the internet because they are not the best quality, as that decreases the file size. I just spent about half an hour changing them all from 256 to 000000's and when I opened up the millions just now they had reverted!

I was thinking about getting that clip of MC tossing the grenade in the scene midway through The Maw, but during videocapture it got really dark for some reason....if I don't sort it out then maybe someone else could make it?

Along with the themebuilder this is surprisingly interesting. I've decided to go on a spree and get as many of Craig Mullins' art as possible, resize it to 90x90 and send them to 7themes. I would really like to see more marathon avatars as well. Also I'm gonna try to make a marathon theme that is slightly easier on the eye than terminal.

That part of the level is extremely dark anyway, I'm doubting you'll find a suitable shot for an avatar.

And if you look up at my avatars, you can see that I'm trying to get more Myth ones. I don't like 3 pages of Halo ones. >_>

I downloaded the free trial of photoshop, and was amazed with what you can do with it. Then I saw this thread and was inspired to create my own avatars.

Red Marathon
Green Marathon

I made those two from scratch.

Then I started looking through the screenshot gallery. I found a few cool pictures and edited them a little.

Master Chief
MC on Turret
Back View
Blue Spartan
Close Up
343 GS
Combo
Rocket
7th Column
Beserker
Bungie Flag

And I like Splinter Cell too.

So, am I allowed to submit these to Bungie? I'm wondering because they are Bungie's pictures. All I did was edit them. Any constructive criticisim would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Prophet. I wasn't going to submit the Splinter Cell one, I just made it for fun.

Another SC one

Errr....what are you talking about?

This thread is for avatar submissions: the avatar is the picture underneath your name. People can send avatars to Bungie, and if they get approved then it goes on the website. You can only get a custom avatar if you are either a moderator, or a theme master (which means you have to successfully submit a theme you made, the theme is the basic style of your group).

Well, according to the FAQ in HFCS, you can earn your custom avie by getting your avatars accepted. But, no one has done this, yet.

I wouldn't hold my hopes high if I were you. You'd probably have to submit at least 5 home-made avies (which all get accepted).
