Michelle Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 This may be kind of a dumb question, but where do you find non-stock avatars? Are there "avatar sites" where you can browse, or do you just kind of know how to do it? Miss Kitty is getting a little "tired" and I'd like to change her. (I'm not on much right now while in transition here in HK, but I will check back sometime this week or next.) Thanks. M Quote
Amelia Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 Go to Google and type in "Avatars". <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Quote <p><span style="color:#0000FF;"><span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">"Do not use harmful words, but only helpful words, the kind that build up and provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear you."</span></span> Eph 4:29</span><br><br><img src="http://banners.wunderground.com/weathersticker/gizmotimetemp_both/US/OR/Fairview.gif" alt="Fairview.gif"> Fairview Or</p>
aka Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 Yes, Michele.. you probably thought of going down the google path yourself already. Most probably your tight work schedule has discouraged you from even starting the look. I'll be more than happy to do the work of looking for you. Just give me categories of avatar types you wish to have. Then I will ask you a few detailed questions to get your taste on the subject narrowed down. After I sort of know just what you think would best respresent your 'being' as you want it shown in a chosen avatar I'll post the result. Where would you like the avatar selection I have put up? Here in this thread? or in your personal inbox? Turmeric Quote

Fran Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 Neil; I love yours! I make my own. I find a pic that I really like, take it to my Adobe 8 CS and make it an avatar. I wish I could say they are representative of me, but I can't. Mine are beautiful, I am surely not that! Maybe I will put up a pic of me at an earlier age; you know, the kind a 90 year old puts in the obits when they die; a pic from when they were say "20 something"!

Neil D Posted August 14, 2004 Posted August 14, 2004 See all those nice little avatars?...Well, I was wondering if there were some way we could use them..I have another 20 or so to put up and some of them are cuter than these...honest! So, could we put them up, huh? huh? Huh???? I will just wait over here while you all deliberate and decide....I hope that you decide that we can do this, as I surely don't want to Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve.

aka Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 It seems this Avatar theme is something that affects the interest of many and not just Michelle (to whom I'll keep in private mail about avatars as well). I too, have 20 or so avatars on file and would be glad to share them publicly here in some way. It is a matter of getting them up in an orderly categorized show. Reality pictures of : Animals, Humans, Objects, Christian symbols, Nature, ContemporyStuff, Food, Sayings, ManMadeObjects, Sports, Media, Hobbies, Caricature pictures of : Animals, Humans, Objects, Christian symbols, Nature, ContemporyStuff, Food, Sayings, ManMadeObjects, Sports, Media, Hobbies Would the staff at ClubA have time to take on our pics and sort out what they think would be appropriate for adding to the list of avatars available to choose from in the "edit your profile" of MyHome sector here?

Amelia Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 You guys are amateurs. I have hundreds of these things floating around on my hard drive and on zip discs. The only problem with adding some of these to our board is that they can adversly affect the operations. Mark would have to take a look at them first.

wicklunds Posted March 27, 2005 Posted March 27, 2005 I found several websites that will allow you to upload your own images and you can make them into avatars. Some of the sites I found through search engines have questionable content on them (soft & hardcore porn images). So you have to browse with caution. one of them is www.uploadimages.net.
