Thanks!
If I am honest I don't really like it
Ah well, if I want to get it done I'll do it myself, could you tell me what software you use for this ?
Thanks for being honest.
I use Photoshop Elements 6. It's not the easiest software to use; I have to construct the animation frame by frame and it took me quite a while to learn how to do it slightly well.
Ok, I has it
I made a .gif but the size limitation is rather annoying =/

Sorry for the hold up, guys and gals, but it seems there aren't many people able to help out this time. Hopefully the pace will pick up as we get closer to Halloween, but for now your patience would be greatly appreciated!

Well, I don't think it really matters, some are up already. I think I might put mine up mid October and then leave it up for a few weeks.

Anyone want to take a crack at mine? If you do, could I limit your creative move but saying "please don't go overkill"?

While I appreciate that people want the shiny effects and animations, I think it would be really cool if more people made their own avatars for Halloween. Getting other people to do it is a bit like buying an outfit, it's all well and good, but where's the fun in it?
If you haven't got Photoshop, download Gimp and play around with it a little, you have a couple of weeks at least.

well, i have been attempting to do that. but the odd thing is that when i tried to upload my avatar, it didn't animate, and was stuck as a black box with the words the kitty reaper approaches on it.

does it make a difference which program i use? i have been using PhotoScape so far.

But you guys are the only people who are good at it! I tried to make my own and even my colossal pride can't stop me from saying it wasn't half as good as some of the Holiday Council's

I don't think it makes a difference. I haven't gotten to grips with the whole animating lark yet anyway. I do know however, that if you try to upload an animation that is bigger than the 75x75 that the forum uses, the animation won't work, so it might be that.

As for people not being very good at it, well, practise and give it a go, it's just more fun with people's own ideas, rather than the few council members who can do it giving out avatars. I'm not very good at it at all really, I just draw my own and don't bother with the shiny bits, and when this started, it was just a bit of holly drawn in paint, and Xitel's was just taken from google and slapped on, it doesn't need to be fancy, it's just a bit of fun. so show me what you can come up with. :)
