i go eat now, i will add more afternoon!

Nah...

I just started making my own.
The picture isn't much, but that's only because I have to use the old video tape I moved to the computer and go on from there.

Just have any number of gif pictures - that follow an animation sequence and merge them togheter.
For the sequence I use VirtualDub. It's a simple yet effective program to extract pictures out of a movie (it does much more then that, it's a mpeg/avi editor - convertor). Then I have to change them into *.gif (it only gives out *.bmp format). Once I have the *.gifs then I use Gif Animatro (it's not free, but you get a 30 day trial version). I gives the watermark on the top because I didn't buy it yet (and I guess I never will). Anyway - that's how I make my avatars...

Where did you find yours?

I like my bat :)

I make gif's in GIMP - gimp-win.sourceforge.net.
It's not the best program but it's free and I can't afford anything better.

All you need to do is create a blank image the right size. copy and paste in your first .bmp. Create a new layer, paste in the next .bmp. Keep going till all the .bmp's are in. Then save in .gif format and it will offer to make it animated!

photoshop cs here :P the gimp didn't work at all on my computer.

It works on mine. Awesome avatars. I like the smily face in the cloud one. It is perverted.

i have just got it working but its missing a certain important tool: POLYGONAL LASSO.

uum, thats snow not cloud!! :max: LOL

This is extremely suggestive QuatroKing, if I was to be unable to find a good avatar then I would prefer not have any than to use those... :blink:

here's the new:
