Delta 38 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 What's the problem? I actually had the problem, that, if you insert too much frames, the gif won't work on avatars. If you could describe the problem I might be able to help. Oops. It must be that, because I've got about 70 frames. I could significantly shorten it, though. I'll try editing it right now... Quote
Shadows Posted October 24, 2010 Author Posted October 24, 2010 A note on animated avatars. We don't normally encourage them, even going so far as not allowing them most of the time. We're going to make a temporary exception during this contest since animation can really add to the quality of the results, but don't go crazy with it. I blame Rick and will make him pay for this. Just keep in mind that if you try making a whole movie or something in there, I'll eat your soul. Seriously. Nom nom nom. Tasty, tasty soul. Oops. It must be that, because I've got about 70 frames. I could significantly shorten it, though. I'll try editing it right now... Yeah, let's not go crazy here. Quote
Delta 38 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Yeah, let's not go crazy here. Sorry. It's fixed now. The reason why there were many frames was because I didn't want to create a seizure effect, but I avoided that by doing another method, so all fine. Quote
Lego Otaku Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Not really official entry but I had a picture on Bricklink of Darth Vader in drag: http://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=479281 Quote
Izzy Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Okay, I've made a Halloween avatar. Its just some guy getting scared by a flying pumpkin or something like that. Nothing special, but it serves its purpose. I really like this one. Really good lighting on it. Simple and Very recognisable as Halloweenish. All these Animated ones are really getting on my nerves.

Try this version instead... (I've already changed it for you) Quote

Don't worry, I'll revert back to my old avatar when the contest is over. I personally don't like animated avatars also, I just made mine to spookify my avatar to participate in this activity. All these Animated ones are really getting on my nerves. I'm so sorry if you feel that way. I might have contributed to these annoying animated Halloween avatars when I followed Rick's example, and it seems everyone, especially the young ones, followed suit. I personally think it's just ok, I actually enjoy seeing how creative people are with technology nowadays. Worry not Madame, one more week and it'll all be over and everything will be back to normal.

Rick Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I blame Rick and will make him pay for this. I tried to be subtle and only make it blink once every 10 seconds or so... Quote
Sandy Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Here's my Halloweeny avatar, made in the honor of the absolutely fantastic new Harry Potter -sets. Quote
pe668 Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 I thought building a skull would be a lot easier. Several weeks and many attempts to get this far. Quote

Yeah, let's not go crazy here. Copy that, sir. I thought building a skull would be a lot easier. Several weeks and many attempts to get this far. I'm not quite sure if this is easier ... looks like you put a lot of work into this - great, realistic shape. Quote
Ogre Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Hahaha It appears this young troll has had an allergic reaction to the poorly applied lipstick. Sorry, I don't have a real camera yet. ORC...TROLL? THAT would scare the M&Ms out of any trick-or-treaters that come to your door! LOL! Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Oddly, I've been updating my Facebook profile with a new Halloween LEGO-themed profile picture each day so far this month, but I didn't even try to update my avatar here until a day or two ago. More oddly, I've had trouble doing so - it doesn't seem to want to accept a new image for me, even though I've made sure it conforms to the guidelines. I obviously succeeded in getting an avatar once, since Indy's there, but I can't seem to do it again. Quote
______ Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Sorry got no photoshop so it is a little bit crude. Quote

Once upon a time, disco was "stayin' alive", then disco sucked, then disco was dead...now, disco has moved one step further: Disco's UN-dead, baby! *edit again* Weird...it works with one browser but, not with another. Odd. Edited October 24, 2010 by Ogre Quote
WhiteFang Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 Some of you guys like Zorbas and KielDaMan is freaking me out... Your avatars just poof in front of me. I wasn't paying exact attention of your new avatars but geez I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. Quote

I wasn't paying exact attention of your new avatars but geez I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me. My apologies. Even I get spooked about it. At least I know it works. I just literally followed Shadow's instructions to "put your spookiest foot forward". Not the most creative of Halloween avatars but certainly crazy scary, I guess. Quote

Big Cam Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 No fancy animations here, just good ol Skeleton Cam. Quote
Oky Posted October 24, 2010 Posted October 24, 2010 They are .gif's. I make them with imageready which is a part of adobe Photoshop. I'm sure there are online programs to make them with as well. Thanks for the help, but since animated entries are apparently frowned upon, I've decided to go with a simple pic instead. A terrible disease has infested Star Command! All space rangers have turned into horrible zombies, and now they're terrorizing the public in their never-ending quest for brains to eat! Not even EB admins are safe from them! Here you see infected ranger Oky Wan Kenobi chasing after Hinckley. Looks like this poor zombie is going to starve. This is clearly the work of Evil Emperor Zurg! Where's Buzz Lightyear when you need him? Quote
