It's a difficult choice; a larger avatar means a greater internet presence, and therefore a reinforcement of the self, whilst a christmas avatar means conformity and stability in the crowd.

In your face, people without christmas avatars.

 

I've had an xmas avatar all year. It's like string lights in July. They make your house look chic and newfangled.

 

 

[edit]

santa's a jew

 

What the hell?

 

Santa's a hindu, beeeyotch.

Santa's agnostic god damnit!

then it looks like no xmas avatar for me.

It seems quite many have taken the hat off the current logo of SFN and just put it in their avatars. You lazy buggers!

I'll have you know that layering images in Paint is no simple task.

Yeah. You did that with Paint and I'm the president of Algeria.

Seriously. I have the bitmaps to prove it.

 

(Had I been at home at the time, and not at work, it would of course have been photoshopped.)

Oh you were at work. Well I can imagine people haven't got better things to do at work. ) What do you do there anyway? (Work and avatar-making obviously, but what kind of work)

Well I can imagine people haven't got better things to do at work.

My grammar nazi thread attests to that

Business analysis and change management.

 

I did mine in a paint style, but paint can't do animated gifs so it was done in the animation studio of PSP8.

AH . is the animation studio of PSP better than the imageready which comes with PS?

God knows. I just used Animation Shop 3.

i tend to stick with Adobe as much as i can, and then go to macromedia for some stuff.

Yes, for simple GIFs.

 

For production-level graphics, no.

Photoshop is better, but the Animation Shop did everything I needed.

WTF happened to the corner logo? Did it melt? ...it will be missed...

ahh...back, good and refreshing

What happened to it?

it melted

lol, early freakish defrost

Talking about defrost, we got about +3 Celsius here and no snow at all anymore, quite an unusual December weather in Finland. ( Just when you thought you could launch the megaüber rockets of DOOOOOM from big snow piles, you have to launch them from your hand (launching racks are for n00bs, as we all know ).
