Title: Avatars (Maybe)
Post by: Oceander on March 15, 2016, 02:12:58 am
Sometimes I amuse myself making avatar images.  No promises (lots of work), but if you have something specific in mind ask and I will say if I can do it or not.

I do not think it is an exaggeration to say history is largely a history of inflation, usually inflations engineered by governments for the gain of governments.

While I love the Warthog dearly - they're fixed wing and no where near as mission flexible as my girl.

Detail is always a problem - maybe a silhouette on a faded Union Jack background?

An eyeball avatar image (not claimed):

If someone uses it, it'll be redimensioned by the forum software so it has dimensions 140px by 148px, or like this:

I surreptitiously snagged my avatar from the Internet.  I like eyes and this eyeball is tattooed with flowers and butterflies. So cool!  But, I don't want someone messaging me that I stole their eyeball.  :police:  So, if you could hook me up with a pretty feminine brown eye all my own, I'd be ever so grateful.  😊

Since there are a passel of Texans onboard, I thought I would try out one or two Texas-themed avatar images.  Here's one:

If you choose to use it as an avatar and hotlink to it from my photobucket account, it should end up looking like this:

I played around with trying to superimpose a few things on the iris but nothing seemed to work tonight.  I'll try again tomorrow.  If you have any ideas on what I should try, let me know.

Never do.  I'd just like to get it a little different.  Tell me what you think it needs.  Seriously, I really do want feedback, even if it's something like "it's just not for me" (I'd rather avoid naughty language, but anything else is helpful).

In terms of adjusting the size of an image displayed on the forum, you can put a width or height attribute inside the opening bbc img tag; if you only put one the image will be rescaled without distortion.  For example, the original image can be scaled down to 200 pixels wide (and auto height) with the following code:
Code: [Select]
[img width=200]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CeXRYp4UAAA18zJ.jpg[/img]

It would look like this then:
