An avatar is limited to 100 x 100 pixels and it is to be smaller than 40Kbyte.

Looks a bit nervous, huh? Or did you have something else in mind?

Attention! Please note that I can't keep the pics on my webspace forever. So please right-click and save them to your computer and then find your own way of hosting them online, like Image Shack or something similar. Thank you.

Karathyriel, you should take a break! You've been really amazingly good helping people get their sigs set up, and I really don't want to see you burn out. :)

That's OK, Mania.
As you can see, I'm able to say no when it goes to far or to tell people to be patient when I got no time or no mind to do stuff.

Don't worry about this old elf... :lol:

Really? I thought it to be crap... :lol:

I used to idle animation where the elf looks around, put im some pauses, so he keeps looking in one direction for a moment, that's all.
And to squeeze it into your limitations for avatars, I had to cut it down to 8(!) colors. For 8 colors, it looks amazing, you're right! :lol:

You want one?

Hello :D was wondering if you could please make me a sig? The thing is though is that i -really- hate how my gear looks right now. i very much despise it so. So i was wondering if you could use the armor link for my druid instead and just throw on the Sentinel's Winter Cloak and Black Bow of the Betrayer?

http://www.wowhead.com/?item=32336 - Black Bow of the Betrayer
http://www.wowhead.com/?item=50466 - Sentinel's Winter Cloak

Here is a screen shot of how i'd like the face to look:
http://i974.photobucket.com/albums/ae22 ... 231727.jpg

and here is an armory link to my druid:
http://www.wowarmory.com/character-shee ... =Stormclaw

As far as how the sig looks im not sure xD maybe you could do something with my fav 3 pets walking next to me or is that to much? If it is could you do one with King Krush walking next to me? Really though im not sure lol, your pretty much pro at this so if you like it im sure i would :D

Here is a link to all 3 pets just in case!

Skoll named Fell- http://www.wow-petopia.com/html/skins/s ... rworg.html
Loque'Nahak named Icefang- http://www.wow-petopia.com/html/mobs/mo ... nahak.html
King Krush named Krush- http://www.wow-petopia.com/html/mobs/mob_kingkrush.html

Oh and my name is Hawkshadow...not sure if you wanted to include a name or not lol
Well if you have time i'd very much appreciate the sig! Anyway thanks for reading hehe

Even if it's a bit crowded, it was easy enough to do.

ImageImageImage

Now, even if i didn't cut down on colors, the blue turned green... Seems like there are some limits, then. :lol: I'll try another one with only Krush later.

That looks neat but think you could add a background and make him a bit slower?

@ Hawkshadow:
Glad you like it. Sorry about the color but I couldn't get it to keep the blue and I don't know why.

@Meh:
I tried to make the animation slow down but then it looks like a slide show, not an animation. The problem is the size of an avatar. In the regualr standing animation, he just stands there, moving only so slightly. I'll post it for you.

Hopy you like this one better!

This is exactly what I mean by enjoying your work. You IMPROVED on what Blizzard already created, IMHO. :)

Nah, it's ok. I knew it was close to impossible.

On a different note, I managed to figure out how to make signatures myself! :proud:

It's shit atm tough. :D

But take a break, you've earnt it!

Seems I've run out of cookies. Ah well...

The signature for Nikkrosnil with her friend showed me, that it is nearly impossible to time and put together more than 3 animations. Well, not really impossible but would need a lot of planning ahead and try-and-error versions. Since I have a job, a real life and a WoW-account, I simply don't have the time to do this. I really hope you understand. And as long as my landlord refuses to take cookie-pictures as payment for my rent, I'm stuck with going to work to get that stupid money-thingy.

Now really, I dont want to be rude or turn someone down but I'll do some avatars or signatures for the people here. What you are asking for is a rather large project. And, I have to admit that all the effects, like the spells or gunfire smoke, can't be taken from ModelViewer. That is why I still haven't done saturos request, as I don't know how to make the teleport of the warpstalker.

So, even if you don't like me anymore, I just have to say NO! I'm sorry,Sphax, but this goes way to far to be done in a jiffy for fun. I hope you understand. You've got your signature and, please, don't ask for movies any more.
and i though u were a pro >.>

just kidding :P
haha np xD i though it would be too hard to be made anyways :P never worked with model viewer though xD still love u for my sig ^_^

Karathyriel: It's the simplicity -- and the surprising delayed animation -- that I love about your avatar. I'm afraid an avatar like that of Mania would creep me out a bit, though. For one thing, I so rarely look at her actual face, and it turns out she's got this angry look ... But thanks. :)

Incidentally, if you want to attach the images you make to the posts, you can get them off your webspace and onto mine. I probably should have mentioned that earlier but it didn't even occur to me.

That is a very good and generous idea. I just wonder how large a webspace you have, as I started deleting the pics when they broke my 10 MB limit. :shock:

You still want me to attach the stuff I make? :D

We probably could do that as it would save me the trouble of keeping track of what can be ditched and what has to stay put. But still, I would have people to save and host them by themselves. I will now attach the stuff but please tell me when to stop.

Do you mean the Stormwind tabbard? In the armoury, you seem to be wearing a guild tabbard.
And wich color is your warpstalker? Black? White? Red? Turquoise?
Edit: The armoury says that you have a worm, a wasp, a cat, a rhino and a devilsaur! :shock: Wich warpstalker were you talking about?!?

Edit 2: @ Nikkrosnil

Did you have something like that in mind? Geez, it's absolutely impossible to make 4 animations pausing like my sig does, sorry. They have to be like this.
That's perfect, thank you so much! Becca loves it, as do I! Thank you so much. ^_^
And congratulations on the new title!

Also if you still run out of space, I have a 1GB domain that's mostly just sitting there empty. If you like, I can make you an FTP account where you can upload your animations. ^^
