Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Heres an avatar I just made. Its not much of a biggy. I was going to add a lense flare but I decided to not make it too complicated and stuck with 3 layers. I grabbed the pic from a random website, cropped it to 80x80 pixels. Added a cloudy/baby blue sky backround. And a white Eric Light font. I really like the font because it goes well with the green tunic. Hope you guys like it, it was fun to make. Compliments and suggestions are welcome. [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/avatar.php?userid=294&dateline=1050971402[/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonballzman Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Not bad. I think it would look better if you moved it a little to the right though, so you could see all of his hair... EDIT: Er...Sorry 'bout that. >_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hittokiri Zero Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 hmmm... just like change the font and/or make the font smaller, I like the way the link picture is set up =D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hmm...Yes I tried moving it to the right but the font goes into the backround and it doesnt look better. So it was either crappy font with good picture or a fair enough picture with good font. The size of the font on Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 only goes to 6, and thats what it is on.

GinnyLyn Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 I like it--simple and clean. *thwaps anyone that starts singing that song* Is there a cloud behind him in the pic, or did you cut the pic out and stick it on a light blue background? Because that will determine if I have a nitpick or not, which is this: I see some white edging around his face. It's a good effect, but it's not around the entire face, so it breaks up the--what it is that it is breaking up. Oo; (Disregard nitpick if it was a cloud.) CONGRATULATIONS! I can read the text clearly, I can see the text clearly, you have no idea how happy you made me. ^________^ Maybe a tiny drop shadow to make it stand out just a bit more, but it's fine the way it is. KUDOSx2! You used a pic I haven't seen [i]ad naseum![/i] I am quite pleased, heh. 9/1o. Be proud and make more avatars. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Hey, thanks alot. Yes, there are indeed clouds in the backround. Guess I should have placed them a little better. Hmmm....I had the layers locked and didnt have time to make the drop shadow. So I will try that tomorrow.(As of now my Mom is bickering at me to go to bed. Hah. Well I'm out and Ill keep making avatars. Thanks for the tips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaiyanPrincessX Posted April 22, 2003 Share Posted April 22, 2003 Thats a very nice picture that you've got there. *loves the picture* As HZ said, maybe downsize the font and add a border. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krillen Posted April 22, 2003 Author Share Posted April 22, 2003 Here, I just finished another one. I took out the clouds in the backround. I added a smaller font. But it looks sketchy. Tell me how it looks. Before: [img]http://www.otakuboards.com/avatar.php?userid=294&dateline=1050971402[/img] After: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
