New and improved Avatar!!!!

[Shanatink]

Woohoo! I got a bigger avatar and so I improved it a little bit . I love it! I am going to continue to add to it. I want to see how many pictures I can get on it. ( I need a new hobby, lol)

How do you get it bigger? Yours looks great.

You get a bigger avatar when you donate to YT.

Wow!! I love it!!!!! That's so awesome. You did a great job. I think you have the best avatar here (other than my cute little panting waggy the tail Sully boy, lol. But I'm partial.)

Whatever program you use sure does fit more graphics into the 18,888 byte limit. You're so talented with it too!

I use Adobe ImageReady (photoshop) and I can't fit much at all into the 125x125 avatar.

Anyone who uses ImageReady....do you have any advice for me on how to fit more in? Feel free to PM me! I love learning new things! Maybe I should learn how to use the program Shanatink is using!!!!

I use imageready. you wanna know something funny? I never took any classes on the adobe programs so I just have to kinda figure things out for myself. And when it comes to animation on imageready I dont know how to keep my pic from duplicating on every frame so I just drag it and hide it on all the frames except the one I want it to display on. I know it cant be right but it works. Takes longer. I think this animation has 14 frames. It lookskiinda pixelated though. How should I save it next time? Dithered or not dithered?

I always thought that it woudn't animate without saving it as dithered. Maybe I'm wrong but I've never tried the not dithered.

In the "layers" window, it has a little eye. If you click on it, it will automatically show or hide that layer. So each frame can be re-configured on which layers to show and which not to show.

I'm AMAZED you fit so much in! And your graphics are so neat! I would love for you to teach me your techniques! I just taught myself, too....and it's funny....I bet we do things so differently! I'd love to learn how you do it though!!!!!

Wow I have been doing it the hard way. Maybe I can fit so much because all the graphics I use have been saved "for web" (in photoshop) so they are smaller files to begin with that upload faster.

I'm catching up on posts because I've been out most of the weekend, but just wanted to say the avatar looks great!
