Sorry people, I was to tired last night to even answer any posts, not to speak of working on some graphics.
Maybe later today, if work wasn't such a bitch again...
Vephriel is right. Models that are transparent will always look odd as they take some of the background color with them. Unfortunately, web graphics do not allow any semi-transparency. So Arcturis will never be an option, I'm sorry.

This is what Arcturis would look like on black background. If I used a white background, he'd be invisible.
I did some work on a normal bear but it really didn't turn out that good.

So, Arcturis is not an option, I'm afraid.
Edit: I just had an idea I have to try tonight. Maybe Arcturis
will be an option but no promises yet.

I had similar problems getting a shot of Arcturis for Petopia because he's so light. I eventually went with a darker-than-normal green background so he'd show up, but it looks rather out of place. Ah, well -- it's about time to redesign the site again anyway.

uh oh.....i didnt like the pink flamingo of the old forums but the green for petopia has become kind of a signature thing....keep the green but maybe add something inside of it and ill be happy maybe you need to finally design a logo or icon for the site itself and then put that in the background.

That's actually a pretty cool-looking regular bear. ^_^
(The purist in me hates Arc's blockiness sometimes...)

Okies it is no biggie Karathyriel if Arcturis can't be a option :] My Devilsaur and wolf will be perfectly fine. If you are able to sneak 3 pets in then my Jormungar worm can take Acrturis's place :]

Feel free to put this at the very bottom of your priority list, there's absolutely no rush!
Do you think it would be possible to replicate the Dramatic Prairie Dog

Hello! I was wonder if you dont mind to take some request from me I will most grateful to have some amazing avatar made by you.
What I was thinkin about avatar is that First showing Lionfury with winking eyes If you even can do that, (Not sure if theres one in game for wink.) Then show all five of my pet in avatar with each name under of avatar.
If its too much then I'll thinkin about different avatar to request then
Oh if its just about gear just put full t10, but no helm please with WSG tabard
Pet list I want put in avatar is.




Name order for my pet, Snowflakes, Kupo, Fexil, Trevor, Balto
((Edit: I just realize you dont like spirit bear cause of wowmodel issuse, you can removed it from avatar then. Just four of them is fine enough. With special emotation from them or anything is good enough for avatar

))
Sorry if its too much to ask! just tell me if it is!

If you need any help with that, just holler at me!

And have you thought about making the pictures with a transparent background, so you won't have to make them over and over again?
Edit; This is what Arcturis would look like....

There is no blinking animation. I would have to do it by myself. But with a 50KB limit, this will probably not be working anyway... I'll try but at a 100 x 100 pixel limit, don't expect any wonders. When it comes to Arcturis, my idea seemed to be working.
I have some earlier requests to look into, so please be patient.

That fine with me! Take your time

Also, Feel free do one with 50KB limit, and other that isnt limit cause I might use other website or who know what i would use it for haha.
Thank you for your time to read this!

Not sure if you are still doing requests but i was wondering if you could make a me a animated signature of my Hunter walking and a few of my pets walking along side me?
Yeah, I still do that, although I was very tired yesterday and I am a few requests behind now...
What I need from you is an armory link so I can see wich face, haircolor etc. you chose on your toon so the sig will look like her.
I even might have found a way to get the spectral bear in it...

a really good idea for transparent pets is to set your model veiwer background to be the same as the forums all you need to do is figure out what color that is

Sure, I can do that... But that will probably be a very still image, as the hunters aren't moving very much. I'll post it as soon as I put something together...

If you take a closer look you'll notice that the background changes from a light grey to a light blue with every post.
If I did it your way, you'd have to be careful when it's time for you to post!

No, seriously... That wouldn't be "good enough" in my own eyes. A cheap way out that I'd never take. Over my dead body but not over my honor!

maybe when we get a new theme all posts backgrounds will be a nice solid color

The alternating colours are a typical feature of most forums, it's easier on the eyes and helps to separate different posts.

Aye, I'm with Veph here. Reading forums without the colours is hard.
