View Full Version : Christmas Avatars
Critique 05-12-2005, 01:22 PM Does anyone still want a Christmas hat done on their Avatar. I've done some on the Message to ... thread but they've gone back a bit now so don't know if they've been seen (no obligation to use them of course :) ).
I'm not very artistic but can manage a hat of sorts. If your Avatar hasn't got a face on it I can put some holly round it like Mazwad's if you want.
If you want one done just post here.
When it's done just right click on it and save it to your computer then go to your profile and change it on there.
Critique 05-12-2005, 02:56 PM I've had a go at your little chap Maxine. For some reason it wouldn't open in Paintshop's Animation - kept getting an error message so I tracked it down off the internet and saved it from there :angel_not
Hope you like it :)

If you can give my kitty a little hat I'd love it, thanks Critique. :wave:

Awww thanks Crit.:) I'll have a go. What do I do after Christmas to get him back?
maxine 05-12-2005, 03:19 PM I'm trying to change it but keep getting a message telling me I can't upload animated images.:wacko:
Haydon 05-12-2005, 04:07 PM Max - try again. It should work now.
Only Sponsors can upload animated Avatars.

Sorry Tiggs, it looks like your bobble doesn't show up on this background. If you use the instructions below, though you can upload the one Coastie kindly made for you.
and these are the ones I put on the other thread in case anyone can't find it:

Just to be clear - I haven't altered anyone's actual Avatar. I've saved them all as a new pic with an x on the end so they won't accidentally overwrite your previous one.
To change your avatar, right click on the one you want, save as (you can keep the file name or change it at this point) make sure you take note of where it will be saved to on your computer.
Go to your user CP and edit avatar. Scroll down a bit and select "Upload from your computer" and Browse to where you have the new one saved on your computer, double click it and then save the changes. After Christmas you just have to do the same but browse to your normal avatar.
Any problems just let me know and I'll try to help.
Critique 05-12-2005, 07:21 PM Yours was tricky flip cos, as you say, not a lot of room, so I've done you one with just a splatter of snow and one with a veritable snow storm - lol. As you're a sponsor you can upload animated ones so you can choose (or I don't mind if you decline - lol)

Thanks Secrets - I joined an MSN Group that taught Paintshop Pro - it only took me 2 years to learn it and I still don't know all there is to know about it :)
If you're really keen to learn though I'd be glad to help you any time. I was glad to have a Messenger Buddy when I was learning.
Critique 05-12-2005, 07:59 PM Here you are Taffy - given you a bit of snow to contend with.
I don't know if you can upload it though because it says only sponsors can have animations now.

Cant seem to upload it tells me
"You may not upload animated images" but I have 1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Coastie 05-12-2005, 08:18 PM Oh my goodness what have I started... :bag:
Crit these are fantastic. I especially like Flip's with the snow falling.
Crit- wow! You are one clever girl.
I love what you did to Flips shades.
Before I saw this thread I was trying to do something with mine but as a still image, I trandsfered to paint and tried to draw a hat but I'm rubbish and it was taking too long so I abandoned it.
Please please I would love you to do one for me! :w00t:
Can I have a hat and kick a snowflake about- you see I'm very mobile, I can't keep still.

Lol Bob - now there's a challenge! There must be about 20 odd frames in that graphic of yours. Will see what I can do, but a snowflake wouldn't show up on a white background :) Leave it with me and I'll have a play around with it.
Critique 06-12-2005, 12:41 AM Oh well Bob - it was only 14 frames :laugh:
He's kicking around a bauble but it just looks like a red ball ;)

Thanks for the avatar, I'm using it now! :kid:
Kittencat 06-12-2005, 01:15 PM I'm going to be a real pain now, Critique..
Any chance my new avatar could be Christmassified?
:D
maxine 06-12-2005, 01:17 PM Heyhey, Crit, well done on Bob's avatar. Looking good.
Critique 06-12-2005, 01:38 PM Thanks all for the compliments - I enjoy doing them.
BRB Kittencat :)

Thanks Crit, you're a star. :hug:
She is rather sweet isn't she?
Bella 06-12-2005, 03:17 PM Wow Critique, you have a real talent there! I have no idea what you mean when you talk about frames and all sorts! Well done you......you know you could have made a small fortune if you charged for services! :laugh: :thumbsup:

Thanks Bella. There's no mystery about the frames. Here are the boring details if anyone is interested :sleepy:
If you imagine that each of the animated avatars is like a little mini film strip and depending how much action there is depends on how many frames in the film strip. So doing an ordinary static pic you just have to decorate the one pic but on an animated one (like bob's) obviously the head is in a different position each time so you have to put a hat on each frame in the right position for where the head is positioned.
See - easy when you know how :wink2:
PS: Mr. C said I should charge - lol. But I really enjoy the challenge.
Fantastic stuff Crit. Bob's avater is looking great.
Bob, when Christmas is over, I think you should still keep the bauble. Or at least get Crit to turn it into a football. looks great with your wee guy kicking it around.
Great work Crit, bob's avatar is absolutely fantastic! :thumbsup:
floopy 06-12-2005, 11:11 PM me wants one!:blush:
Oh well Bob - it was only 14 frames :laugh:
He's kicking around a bauble but it just looks like a red ball ;)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v611/liberated60s/bobx.gif
Wow thanks Crit!
I still don't know how you did it but I did know it was 14 frames cos when I had my T shirt designed for Dublin the lady in the shop had to separate the frames and she told me there were 14.
How do you separate them?
Anyway I love it!
Thanks so much :)
Critique 07-12-2005, 12:09 AM me wants one!:blush:
Oooh Floopy - now how can I Christmas-up your avatar (scratches head).
Right, leave it with me and I'll see what I can come up with :) As I said, I love a challenge. :wink2:
Critique 07-12-2005, 02:03 AM I tried all sorts on your avatar floops but it just didn't work so I made this one - I'm not very good in the ideas department :)
If you want something else just let me know.

bridge 07-12-2005, 09:30 AM Crit that is so clever! could you possibly give my little heart a hat? thank you x
Critique 07-12-2005, 10:08 AM Can anybody help please
Cheers :)
Hi Taffy - well what it is... if you already had an animation then you can keep it but you can't upload them now unless you are a sponsor. So you can either miss out on the Christmas decs, or have a static one for chrimbo but then you wouldn't be able to have your animated one back after chrimbo or you could become a Sponsor and you can have what you like. :)
Crit that is so clever! could you possibly give my little heart a hat? thank you x
Of course I will Bridge - I'll do it asap. xx
Taffy I don't know whether it would work or not but you could try adding it to your signature......
Critique 07-12-2005, 11:09 AM Here you are Bridge - hope you like it ;)

floopy 07-12-2005, 12:24 PM Crit, you're fantastic. I thought mine might be an avatar too far, but you've triumphed!
I love it :cool2:

Thanks Crit. Sorry haven't felt well for a few days so didn't get round to uploading it. I can see the bobble on the blueish background though. :)
Bonsai 07-12-2005, 03:57 PM Sorry haven't felt well for a few days so didn't get round to uploading it.
:hug: hope your in tip top condition now
Haydon 07-12-2005, 04:30 PM Oh i love it!!!!:w00t: Thank You Crit.
Bridge - see Critique's post to Taffy. If you currently have an animated avatar you're lucky as you got in before the changes took place.
However, now in order to have an animated avatar, or change your existing animated avatar you have to be a Donator or Sponsor.
See this page for more info... http://www.survivor-online.co.uk/membership-benefits.php
Bella 07-12-2005, 04:32 PM :hug: hope your in tip top condition now
second that Tigger, hope you are feeling all floaty and dazzling just like your avatar! :thumbsup:
tigger 07-12-2005, 05:02 PM Thanks Bella and Bonnie. :) No I'm not better yet, still having problems but will go back to docs on Friday if it's not any better.
Critique 07-12-2005, 05:19 PM It won't let me put mine up, it says no animated images !!:sad: Awwww
Awwww yeah - I didn't notice you weren't a Sponsor Bridge, otherwise I could have told ya about not being able to change your avatar for another animated one :(
As Haydon has said - see my post to Taffy for the explanation. :cry:
Thanks Bella and Bonnie. No I'm not better yet, still having problems but will go back to docs on Friday if it's not any better.
Sorry you're not feeling too good Tiggs. Hope you feel better soon. :hug:
I'm not better yet, still having problems but will go back to docs on Friday if it's not any better.
I'm sorry to hear that Tiggs, I hope you feel better soon :hug:
mazwad 07-12-2005, 09:32 PM These Christmas avatars have really cheered me up you clever girl. May I take this opportunity to thank you for all the help you have given me in using photobucket and everything else.
I tried to give you rep but have to spread it first but am sure you have got lots for the avatars.
Critique 07-12-2005, 09:38 PM Aaaah thanks Mazza - you're welcome to all the help I can give, you know that.
Aren't you watching the Celeb coming out party - it's great. Just popped on in the adverts :)
mazwad 07-12-2005, 09:51 PM Got it tapeing, have got Space Cadets on but its a bit slow. Mr M stuck in the kitchen watching Rome.
Critique 21-12-2005, 01:28 PM Is anyone else wanting a Santa Hat? Only a few left now ;) :)
If you asked for one and haven't got it, check back through this thread cos it might be there. If not, I'll do it asap.
msgirl 21-12-2005, 03:31 PM Well, that explains a lot!! I couldn't figure how some had animated avatars and I couldn't have one. Was getting right hacked off, I was...but now I see! I will have to count my pennies and see if I can get a donator or sponsor title....1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ......hahahahhahahaha:laugh:
