Is there a patten on the thumb and finger thing or can my surl use it?

[+Camo-crazed]

I am currently using a picture I took of my camo towel. I am thinking of a can of camo spraypaint or the geocaching camo patch on a camo sleeve.

 

Considering the amazing artwork you guys have done in the past this is hardly worthwhile but I can wait.

[+MasterCacher]

I was wondering if someone could make an avatar for me. A little background:I live in iowa and would like somthing evil looking . Like an evil genius or something.

How about this?

 

 

Jim

[+MasterCacher]

Thank you so much it's awsome.

[+Baxter-MD]

Can anyone give me hand. I think this will be easy. I would like to modify the Maryland State flag so that the yellow and red sections are replaced to reflect the geocaching four colors. My skills on a computer are so limited that I could not even cut and paste a copy of the flag into this image.

 

Thanks in advance.

I would I would like to say again that there are some very creative people here. There have been some great Avatars created here. I have no talent. The best I could come up with is a half USA half Canada flag.

Who are the Wildwoods? We are Mr. Wildwood Mrs. Wildwood & Kidlet (our 14yr old daughter)

Mr. Wildwood is Canadian and has only lived in the USA for 4 years.

Mrs. Wildwood & Kidlet are American

Wild: Because Mr. comes from the Wilds of northern Canada

Woods: Our last name is Wood

We love the outdoors and hiking the trails around here. The wilds of Iowa are not the same as the wilds of Northern Canada. Instead of waking around the corner and coming face to face with a black bear and her cubs, now all we have to worry about is a squirrel with an attitude.

I was thinking more of a mountain landscape background. Mr. lived close to the Rocky Mountains. Mrs. & Mrs. were married on a mountain top. We also love to canoe.

I am a dirt diva quad rider and would love an avatar cartoon of a girl riding a yellow quad!! Anybody seen one???

How About this? Though I might need to change the font to something solid to show up properly at the avitar level.

Thats AWSOME! But I agree the font may need to be changed.

[Dorkus&Co.]

I changed the font and a few colors to help it display better at small resolution.

What about this one?

[+AmishHacker]

Dorkus&Co.

 

Thank you for your work in this thread. Can I make a couple suggestions. First try and create the Avatar in the Avatar Size (75 pix width). Your images look good big but are hard to make out when little. I usually get the idea and try a big one but when I convert to small I have to rework the graphic. I do not just resize and leave it at that.

 

Also, try putting the gray back ground on images that would just have a white one. It looks better in the fourms...you can screen shot the fourms and copy the color over.

 

Thanks again

Hey AmishHacker,

 

Would you try placing a Kit Fox on a background with the Geocaching 4 color logo.

[campermama]

Dorkus&Co,

Thank you so much!!!

Here's my lame attempt at the "thumb and finger."

At least I hope that is what you meant.

[+slinger91]

One for Willapa. I thought I would give this thing a shot.

How Do You make avatars and what software do y'all use?

[+slinger91]

New one with matching back ground.

 

 

or atleast not white.

[+slinger91]

How Do You make avatars and what software do y'all use?

I use what ever I can get my hands on: here's a sample:

 

Fujifilm photo editor (came with my camera)

MS paint (not much good)

Adobe photoshop trial version (wow, alot to learn, but well worth it)

[+Uniacke Raiders]

We four (Paul..me, Caroline..wife, Julie..daughter & Doug..son) are "Uniacke Raiders" located in Nova Scotia, Canada.

 

Skyarcher was good enough to make the avatar you see but I was wondering if anyone could work in a bike, canoe, highway, GPS combo thing into an avatar for us?

 

I'm a highway engineer, with a bike, a red canoe and a Magellan Sportrak Map.

 

Thanks,

Paul

My Avatar is supposed to be animated. It revolves on all the other forums I use. While it is rare to see an animated Avatar on this forum, I know it can be done. One user uses an animated version of Sauron and it works fine.

My Avatar is supposed to be animated.  It revolves on all the other forums I use.  While it is rare to see an animated Avatar on this forum, I know it can be done.  One user uses an animated version of Sauron and it works fine.

Whenever you upload a new image to GC.com (including avatar photos), it converts to a JPEG file. Some forums allow you to upload an animated GIF file or link to an existing file hosted on another site...but not this one. Sorry!

 

Edit: Some users might have old GIF files; back in the day, you could upload pretty much anything to GC.com--but that's long since gone.

For the record, I once spied (and saved) a fake geocaching "logo" that turned out to be NOT the Groundspeak logo at all, it just kinda gave the impression that it was on first glance. Different graphics in each of the colored squares. Bit of a different shade of each color.

 

If any of you want me to post that as a gc.com logo substitute, it could probably serve as a way to "bend" the Groundspeak rules in a kind of pretend way without really messing with them at all.

 

Let me know if you need this uploaded here.

Since I have a golden retriever and, of course, I geocache, I would like an avatar of a golden retriever puppy holding a GPS unit in its mouth.

[+BadAndy]

I tried begging...no luck. Perhaps reverse psychology will work....

 

 

I would appreciate it if someone with artistic abilities would refuse to make me an avatar based on the dominos pizza badAndy character. I'm an expert graphics artist, but am too lazy to do it myself.

I meant make it look alot better You know Make it look dynamic

[+Camo-crazed]

Well, for starters - what the heck is your avatar? I see a white rectangle with some faint grey markings. I need more than "make it look alot [sic] better".

[The Hotdog]

Sorry, here's a pic of it.

It is a triangle within a triangle the inner triangle has a clipart of hotdog and the bottom of the first triangle has (The Hotdog) typed in it.

all that needs to be done is make it bigger and more dynamic. thanks

Okay... seriously, when I looked at it before I couldn't even make anything out. It looked different. Anyway, here's my take on it:

Hi, how about one of the avatar masters create a thread thats all about tips and tricks for avatar creation I would but I the best I can do is the pic 3 post a above I think It would be better if someone would be telling the tips and tricks instead of asking for them anyway just a idea that would help take some of the load off here.
