Avatars
 
I have a question: Where do you find 8-bit theater avatars?
Answer if you can please.

I think most people crop them out of the comics and use them like so. Most also recolor the background... but that's not necessary persay.

How do I do that?

Krylo 12-20-2003 09:35 AM

Go to a comic, find one with a character in a pose that you like, open it up in MS paint (you can do it easier in other programs, but I'm assuming you have paint, and don't know about other ones), then click the selection tool in the upper right hand of the tool area, make a square around it, go to cut, then resize the paint area by clicking the blue dot in the lower right hand corner, and drag it up to the upper left hand corner. Then go to edit paste, it will ask if you want to make the paint area big enough for the paste, select yes, then click someplace off the area, go to save as... save it as whatever you like, then use some other program (I like irfanview, and you can download it for free) to convert that bitmap to a jpg. You may have to resize it to make it small enough, depending on which character/pose/comic you take.

Huh I dont under stand.

Krylo 12-20-2003 10:15 AM

ok...
1) Save a comic to your hard drive.
2) Open the picture up using MS Paint
3) Select the character that you want using the tools I pointed out before.
4) Go to edit, and then select cut.
5) Shrink the size of your paint area down.
6) Go to edit and then select paste.
7) Go to file and select save picture as.
8) Put in a name and save it
9) Use another program to save that file as a .jpg
10) Resample or Resize that picture to 100x100
11) Save again
12) Upload to boards

He's such a helpful little metal skull, isn't he?

Krylo 12-20-2003 04:50 PM

There's nothin' little about me, baby! Normally a sexy wink would come here, but I refuse to use emoticons on forums.

Anyway... I'm so helpful, that if he still doesn't get it, I'll make him one myself... but I'll make it with whatever character I want. Mwahaha. The crazy old man shall be him!

So there we were, facing down this demon named Roy. Roy wasn't his real name of course, that's just what we called demons back then. If a demon appeared, say from a summoning circle inscribed in blood, which in those days were more commonly known as 'grant's ear', you'd say, 'here comes Roy right outta Grant's Ear' because that was the style at the time.
