Lol winamp, winblows users swear buy it. I never really liked it, one of my friends was addicted to it. He stayed up all night making his own skins only to delete them the next day.

You can use this one. If you don't want to use it, and someone else here does, just ask me, and I'll let you use it. Please don't just take it without asking, though. Firewire 2001 has first pick on it...

The big brother is very cool - nicely done.

Now, to animate a sledge hammer and an explosion.....

I'm not doing that, too much going on right now. I've got a few other projects, I was suggesting the idea not offering. Sorry.

Yes pineapple, you may use it. It was part of my attempt to recreate the 1984 ad in my avatar but there was no way I could get the timing to work in 20k.

Nice 'tar you have now, comes from the deep dungeons under the Apple fortress.

I'll be hitting the big vife double 0 pretty soon myself.
So I had lot's of idea's, but haven't got the time to fix me one, I guess I'll use something plain first, and try to create me one when I do have the available time.

now I have to start thinking about it, just a step away here. Any suggestions? I will probably do some flash and export as a gif, do you think it better to sart big and scale down, or work small from the start?

I would personally start small. If you start with a large image it's hard to tell if the detail will be visible when you scale it down.

What are the specifications for an avatar?

I should create one but I may have something quick to use in the meantime.

Thanks for your help! :)

Mr. Anderson

work at no more that twice the final size or 100x100. That way you can gauge the level of detail. Doing something in flash is ok, but it might be a problem getting the animation under 20k - your best bet is to use ImageReady.

Good luck.
