Avitars? Where to get them or....
 

How do I make them? I love the moving gif's but I'm a little confused on where everyone gets them... I imagine most everyone makes them up themselves... I've got Photoshop and I've really started to try to use it as of last week - I'm getting there but I'm no way worthy of anything cool yet.

I have all the Adobe software (perk from work) and some other odd programs so what would you suggest I use to try to make one....

Can I take a jpeg off the internet (news or cartoon site) and modify it to work for me?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Some people find them, others make them, and some take pre-existing ones and just make changes to them. You still have a little while before you can use an avatar yet, though.

to make a movable avatar, you could do a variety of things..
1) steal one somewhere online and save it to your computer, then upload it to the TFP server.
2) use adobe imageready to create one.

3) If you have access to MAcromedia flash, you could use that to create one as well.

Of course.. you cant use avatars yet, but sooner or later when the option becomes available to you, feel free to refer back to this thread, or view any of the other "avatar" threads here in the newbies board.
