LT: Thanks for mentioning Jam; I recognized it right away, but always genuinely appreciate the attention to detail. The addition of this group has facilitated the "Games: Sammy" category. Nice work!

Alrighty. #s 3, 7, 8, and 9 as they were, and #s 1 and 6 with non-brown BG colors...

And here's a few color experiments with the other four. They've been trimmed to 30x30 or less...

http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/FinalFour1.gif

Thoughts?

LT: The already approved are awesome; good to go!

You're gonna hit me over the head with a plank of wood, but for the other ones, I'm definitely not feeling those BG colors. The contrast is always odd. I blame Taito! I dunno, they may be a lost cause. :'-(

Favorites can be grabbed from here (http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/PdP/).

LT: Added the series, thanks! Fixed some mistakes in the character names. http://www.themushroomkingdom.net/ta_pdp.shtml#char
Excellent stuff. Along with the Tetris Attack avatars, these are now in a new category called Nintendo ~ Puzzle League (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puzzle_League_%28series%29)!

North and South:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/NS/north_and_south_peeps.png
The top row shows player-controlled ranks (hence the flag backgrounds); bottom row is computer-controlled ("com" in the game). Wasn't sure which backgrounds worked better.

Individuals are located here (http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/NS/).

LT: Kinda ugly sprites, but they have their charm. I added all 6 with the Player backgrounds, since I liked those backgrounds better than the Com ones. Cool game choice!

LT: Bueno. Interesting Wiki article.

[jacfalcon]

I guess this is where I would ask...

Can we get a new StarCraft icon so I don't need this medic one? A Protoss one would be preferable, but I'd settle for any cooler male character.

Thanks,
jacfalcon

[Dafydd]

All of the Starcraft faces would do nicely... I think. I don't know how big they are though, or if cropping them is a good idea.

EDIT: If these don't need too much work, I can make more... I have a feeling you won't like the brightness (or lack thereof) in these, but they're faithful screenshots from the game. In case you don't recognize them, they're from warcraft II.
http://www.ngst.nu/war2grunt.gif http://www.ngst.nu/war2troll.gif http://www.ngst.nu/war2footman.gif http://www.ngst.nu/war2archer.gif

Wasn't sure how to crop this one, so here are 2 tries.

Knight.

Also

[Dafydd]

http://www.ngst.nu/war2griffinrider.gif http://www.ngst.nu/war2deathknight.gif http://www.ngst.nu/war2critter%28seal%29.gif

Griffin Rider, Death Knight, Critter (seal).

[Liontamer]

Gotta lighten many of these up; too dark as is.

[Dafydd]

I knew you'd say that. Any of them good enough already, or do they all need to brighten up?

[Polo]

Give them all the same level of brightness + contrast to keep them looking like they belong in a group. One way to do it is to put them all in the same .png file (no transparency) and then experiment with the variables until they all look just right.

[Dafydd]

Good idea. I'll try that.

Ok, I just noticed that in this game, the images I've been making here apparently take different colors depending on what team you're playing... *sigh*, and so, some of them are blue and some are red. Not good. I'll redo those that need redoing (Humans should be blue, Orcs red, based on the campaign game settings). Meanwhile, I'd like some input on the ones below (if any is good enough, please don't add any of them yet, since I need to redo some of them...). I did as Polo suggested and came up with this. I increased contrast and brightness as well as added some saturation (otherwise they got a little grayish and dead). So... thoughts?

EDIT: They're all fixed now.

http://www.ngst.nu/war2.gif
So, from left to right, top to bottom... (O = Orc, H = Human)

Grunt (O), Troll (O), Footman (H), Elven Archer (H), Knight (H),
Peon (O), Peasant (H), Ogre (O), Gnomish Flying Machine (H), Knight (H) (alternate, I prefer the first one),
Berserker (O), Elven Ranger (H), Gryphon Rider (H) (I spelled it wrong last time), Death Knight (O), Critter (Seal),
Paladin (H), Mage (H), Ogre-Mage (O), Goblin Zeppelin (O).

Also, here are some that I didn't manage to crop with any good results... feel free to try. They have been brightened the same way as the ones above.

http://www.ngst.nu/war2cropme.gif

Dwarven Demolision Squad (H), Dragon (O), Goblin Sappers (O).

Bonus: Orc Cursor! http://www.ngst.nu/war2orccursor.gif Same effects applied here.

LT: Nice work on the brightness fixes. Thanks to Polo for his advice, you definitely took it and ran with it well. Lemme know when you're set on the proper colors and then I'll see what makes it in.

[Polo]

Also, here are some that I didn't manage to crop with any good results... feel free to try. They have been brightened the same way as the ones above.

http://www.ngst.nu/war2cropme.gif

Sure, why not. Been ages since I played this game.

LT: See, you have the mindset for it. You definitely picked the best crops here, nice work. I'll wait until David is set, then add what I'm taking into the database.

[Dafydd]

I edited my post above, but it seems you missed the edit - I'm all done with the colors. Add the ones you want and tell me if there's anything I can do about the ones you don't.

[Polo]

Split 'em up again, now that LT approves the brightness level. If you want, you can list the urls in one post to save space.

Also, I noticed even more groups in the avatar gallery: Nintendo ~ F-Zero, Nintendo ~ Mother, and Studio Pixel. :nicework: Larry!

[Dafydd]

Ok, I cut them up and put them at www.ngst.nu/avatars/warcraft2 (http://www.ngst.nu/avatars/warcraft2). The filenames are now identical to the units' names in the game. Minus spaces, that is.

EDIT: Hello? I'm not seeing any blue color here...

Dear Liontamer,

Dear DrumUltimA,

No. It's only gone because you have it currently selected. Once you change it, the new one will vanish from your list, and the old one will reappear.

...3. Clarifying 3, the only way you can get a custom avatar is to have some sort of standing in the community to me. Then you'd have to make it and have me approve it.

Don't wanna sound whinny or anything but that's kinda unfair, but I have no say in the matter.:?

[Gollgagh]

Don't wanna sound whinny or anything but that's kinda unfair

How? Pretty much everyone else in the community has a pre-existing avatar.


(I ripped my current avatar myself and got it approved, btw)

[Dafydd]

I think he was referring to what LT said - only those who have some sort of standing in the community can expect to have the avatars they suggest in the project thread added to the avatar gallery. I agree that's fair. Your standing in the community shouldn't affect whether you can contribute or not. If you post good-looking, relevant avatars, your post count (or whatever else LT was referring to) shouldn't affect whether they are added or not.

This is of course unless by "custom" avatar you mean one that no one else can use... or unless I misunderstood the whole argument.

[FR]

...The only way you can get a custom avatar is to have some sort of standing in the community to me. Then you'd have to make it and have me approve it.

I interpreted Liontamer's post like this:"If I don't think you deserve a custom avatar because you are insignificant to the community then your not getting custom avatar" or something around those lines but I doubt that was what he meant.:|

Edit:This is of course unless by "custom" avatar you mean one that no one else can use...
I didn't mean that at all.

Nah, to clarify, anyone can submit avatars to be added. Doesn't matter who you are. But if you want a custom avatar that only you can use, you need to been established in the community from my point of view.

Guys like F4T4L (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=9816), Dhsu (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=2892), and The Orichalcon (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/member.php?u=5654) all have custom avatars because they've all contributed to OCR with their ReMixes, and they all made their avatars themselves. No offense, but why am I going to let someone have their own exclusive avatar, if I don't know that they're gonna stick around in the community or give back something in the way of music?

It should be noted though that with so many avatars, if you have a pretty rare/esoteric one added, the odds that it will be used by a lot of people are low.

I didn't realize Dhsu or the others had a custom avatar! Interesting. I misunderstood the meaning of "custom" avatar. I agree with your reasoning here. So, these custom avatars - couldn't these people have done what e.g. I do and posted them in the thread? Were they too ugly to be accepted? Or was it just really important to them to have one that no one else had?

Why would allow anything I thought was too ugly? Nah, they wanted them exclusively for themselves. If you ever want one, you've done some major heavy lifting on the avatar project (and mascots project); I'd have no problem giving you one. I haven't asked, because I've noticed you switch around a lot.

[suzumebachi]

DOES I GET ONE?

Heh, thanks. No, you're right, I do switch around a lot. If I ever find something I think I can stick with, I'll let you know :wink: Besides, I think I'm alone using the one I have now... haha.

Thanks for moving this conversation to the appropriate thread, btw. It was getting a little long for the one it was in. While I'm at it, I was wondering: Are there ever going to be animated avatars, even custom ones? And do the custom avatars need to be relevant (i.e. game related)?

Suzu, your current avatar is a part of you. If you change it now, after - what - years (?), it'll be like getting facial plastic surgery irl. :-D I don't see why LT would deny you one though...

Anyway, I still haven't seen any comments on my last warcraft2 avatar post on the previous page.

Animated ones, never. Even custom avatars should be game related, but anime/cartoons/comics/movies, pretty much anything is fair game as long as I like it. We focus on VG stuff, but we have a few others.

I think Ty wants Hulk Hogan custom; I can do that tomorrow. Since he made it in the first place, that's cool. Danimal Cannon may kill him though; he's using it too!

Will get to the Warcraft stuff when I have more time to sit down and add the group. It's not too laborious, but it does take a little bit of time to add them all in.

[The Coop]

I haven't given up on those last four from Puzzle Booble 2, I've just been a bit busy. So fuckin' help me, I'm going to find a usable color for each of them.

[Dafydd]

http://www.ngst.nu/avatars/FinalFour1.gif ?
Someone might have tried these colors already. Did you consider a gradient background, Coop?

About the warcraft avatars, it's no hurry, I was just worried you missed my post :wink:

[Polo]

Out of curiosity, is there a way to tell how many users are currently sporting the same avatar? Would be interesting to see how many people put Black Mage before their handles, for example.

Anyway, here's some more Card Fighters (first game, all Capcom):

It would be, yes. Somone could even compile some statistics so you could see which avatar has been used the most :wink:

[Dafydd]

Thanks for adding the warcraft 2 avatars up, LT! I'll be switching around a lot, I think, and then go back to my mmgb one. Ok, so I noticed the Peon, Ogre and Ogre-Mage

(http://www.ngst.nu/avatars/warcraft2/orc/warcraft2peon.gif http://www.ngst.nu/avatars/warcraft2/orc/warcraft2ogre.gif http://www.ngst.nu/avatars/warcraft2/orc/warcraft2ogre-mage.gif)

were not added (nor the cursor, which is fine). Was is because of the cropping or were the images just plain ugly? Here are the original images:

http://www.ngst.nu/avatars/warcraft2/unused.gif

LT: With those crops, the images don't really look like anything in particular, so I didn't add those.

EDIT: Does that mean I can crop them differently and maybe they'll be added?

LT: For the paired faces, you'd have a better shot yes. You could probably even 2 each from those two pics. The peon, you'd have to scale down to fit more of the face into the dimensions though.

Um yea these are from Capcom vs. SNK 2 From left to right: Zangief (Series 1 design), Shin Gouki/Akuma (Series 2 design), Sakura (Series 2), Sagat (Series 2 design).

LT: Sakura's good. Akuma's not sharp enough. The other two are really sloppy and stretched.

Sorry double post:Ryu (Series 1 design), Morrigan (Series 1 design), and Dhalsim (Series 1 design). Most of them suck but I tried so just call me out on their suckiness and I'll fix them. Don't ask me why buy thought of Zyco when I made the Dhalsim one.:?

Edit:I was gonna do all the characters but they just don't look good e.g. Dan.

LT: Morrigan crop was way too close. Sharpen the others.

From left to right: Apollo from Apollo Justice:Ace attorney, Phoenix from Apollo Justice:Ace attorney, and Godot from Phoenix Wright:Ace attorney trials and tribulations.

LT: Apollo's good. The others are slightly not sharp/clean enough. I'm particular.

[Arek the Absolute]

Is it possible to get Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn avatars or is the size limit too small to make one that actually looks appealing?

Zhou Tai from Dynasty Warriors 6

Edit 3:I'll take requests if my current avatars get accepted/don't suck.

LT: Everything's too blurry except the Megazord, which I just don't like. :-D The cropping on the Megazord is a bit too tight. I'd probably shrink the image to fit more of that upper torso of the robot in there.

[Arek the Absolute]

I reallllllly like the second one. I hope it gets accepted.

Thanks bro!

Any thoughts LT? Backgrounds? No backgrounds? Backgrounds for the smaller ones, no backgrounds for the big ones? I personally feel they all look fine without BGs, since they have a black outline around them.

LT: No backgrounds, but I hate the sprites. Only one's I'm feeling are the rock-face guy on the bottom lieft, the globe that's holding (not pulling back) the slingshot and the 3rd/running mummy.

And my next attempt at those final four from Puzzle Bobble 2...

http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/FinalFour3.gif http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/FinalFour3a.gif

Thoughts? They use very dark violets, greens, and such.

LT: The blue BG robot guy looks...aight, but I'm not feeling 'em. Not sure what else is left to try on these. :'-(

[Arek the Absolute]

Polo or The coop, think either one of you could make an avatar of Ike from Fire Emblem? Frustration Raptor tried to make one for me which I really appreciate, but it was denied :<

Thanks!

LT: I'm cool on Ike here, but I need to know what specific installment of Fire Emblem that art is from before I can add it.

The others, I'd rather not see the images cut out, then placed on black backgrounds unless it looks seamless. Feel free to keep whatever background the original crop had. Please also let me know what game(s) they're from.

[The Coop]

Gave it a try, Arek...

http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/FE-Ike.gif

LT: Not feeling the sprite; certainly not your fault at all. In fact, it was an excellent crop.

LT: Not feeling that chick; face just looks goofy. Others are a go, but I need to know what FE installment Ike is taken from. Gracias!

[Arek the Absolute]

Beautiful!
Doulifee's looks the best to fit the bill for what I am looking for, but the others are great too! I really hope all 3 get accepted so others can use them :)


*sitenote- larry, can i have the one doulifee made as a custom personal avatar if it is accepted?

LT: No, because you didn't make it yourself. Them's my rules. :lol: That's my cutoff, otherwise everyone would request 'em.

[Doulifée]

http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/lz1.gif http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/lz2.gif

was trying to add Lezard Valeth from valkyrie profile. (and has a personnal avatar if i can manage to have it added)

LT: You got it!

Ike for Arek:

LT: I need to know what FE installment Ike is taken from.
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (source (http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Ike)).

LT: Danke. Added.

I stumbled upon the true identities of the following avatars, erroneously labeled Kamikaze Kaitō Jeanne 1 and 2 (probably due to the KKJ initials). From Kareshi Kanojo no Jijō:

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/images/avatars/anime/kkj_1.gif Yukino Miyazawa (http://www.animegalleries.net/img/8523)
http://www.ocremix.org/forums/images/avatars/anime/kkj_2.gif Sōichirō Arima (http://www.animegalleries.net/img/8539)

LT: Always appreciative of any fixes. Thanks!

P.S. What of these guys (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showpost.php?p=391444&postcount=792)?

LT: Yeah, I didn't forget that one. Just wanted to compare the WC2 ones with the old versions to see if I was feelin' em, but felt lazy at first. :lol:

[Doulifée]

LT: I'm cool on Ike here, but I need to know what specific installment of Fire Emblem that art is from before I can add it.

The others, I'd rather not see the images cut out, then placed on black backgrounds unless it looks seamless. Feel free to keep whatever background the original crop had. Please also let me know what game(s) they're from.

Fixed the BG, it's now a white one. Ike is from Path of radiance. All the others characters are from Phoenix Wright:
Phoenix Wright : Ace Attorney
maya.gif judge.gif dick.gif

Phoenix Wright : Justice for all
pearl.gif pearl2.gif mia.gif

The name of each character is the filename itself. for the file called mia.gif, i can turn the black part white, it's part of her hairs [original gif here for reference (http://doulifee.com//Storage/aceatt/GyakutenHeroes/2-12ani-mia-tilt.gif)]



LT: Hmm. Unless that's literally how the sprite was placed in the game, seems like the borders on Mia are really rough. If there was a way to smooth out the look of the black bordering so that it didn't look so pixelated, it would help. Can anyone else look into this also?

[Polo]

Well, as long as it's not egregiously large, let's see how Hammer Jack looks in a standard pose.
All right, here's Hammer Jack in two out of four weapon-whirling poses (the other two don't look so hot IMO):
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/mm3_hammerjack1.gif http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/mm3_hammerjack2.gif

Thoughts? I'm sure you don't want an influx of avatars that go above the limits, but I know you're not banning them outright since we already have "giants" like Metroid Fusion Samus* and Crono.

LT: Yeah, having a couple of outliers like those are the reason why I was open to this one in the first place. They're not ostentatiously larger than the standard avatars. So the first Hammer Jack is a go. Hard to see it on a white background, but I love that the lil' swoosh/motion line was left intact. It's a nice touch.

And since I feel sorry for The Coop, I tried my hand at recoloring the backgrounds of the 4 black sheep from Puzzle Bobble 2:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/finalfour_1.png http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/finalfour_2.png

LT: I'll take the pink character with the pink background. Nice work. The rest are "nah". Man, if you can't get 'em to work, who can?

P: Haha, I appreciate your faith in me. Don't worry, there's still other background colors to try. I'll see what else may/may not work. In the meantime, here's the pink chick: http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/puzzlebobble2_woolen.gif



* I didn't notice at first, but met_samus.gif is labeled as "Super Metroid: Samus"; it should be Metroid Fusion Samus (in her Fusion Suit).

LT: Glad to fix it.

[Dafydd]

Looks like I haven't been here in too long. So the 32x32 limit is gone now? I didn't find either of the giants you talked about, Polo, but I noticed the Super Metroid samus in there (42 pixels tall).

LT: It's my discretion, so, no, I don't plan on doing larger images often. I love the 32x32 size restriction and plan to keep with it in the major majority of cases.

Understood. I didn't think there were any exceptions, that's all. That means the Decap Attack dude (as well as several others) could be added (at your discretion, as always). At least now I know posting an avatar larger than 32x32 does not mean a 0% chance of acceptance without cropping. If it wasn't for the fact that I'm leaving for a while now you'd be seeing some big ones in this thread pronto, but now that's going to have to wait until August.

[Polo]

So the 32x32 limit is gone now?
I didn't say it was gone. Larry wanted to see Hammer Jack in his full pose (more than 32 pixels tall/wide). Whether he takes him as an exception to the rule I can't say.

I didn't find either of the giants you talked about, Polo, but I noticed the Super Metroid samus in there (42 pixels tall).
"Giants" = bigger than 32 pixels one or both ways. I was talking about this Crono:

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/images/avatars/games/squarechrono/ct_crono.gif

and this Samus:

http://www.ocremix.org/forums/images/avatars/games/nintendo/met_samus.gif

She's the Metroid Fusion Samus (but is currently mislabeled as from Super Metroid; THAT Samus is even bigger (http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/9779/svaria0zy.gif)).

LT: Thanks for the extra Samus. Why not, eh? Other one was almost as tall anyway. The correction on the previous Samus is also appreciated!

P: No problem. But credit for the extra Samus goes to Gollgagh (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showpost.php?p=95653&postcount=76). :-P

[Doulifée]

LT: Hmm. Unless that's literally how the sprite was placed in the game, seems like the borders on Mia are really rough. If there was a way to smooth out the look of the black bordering so that it didn't look so pixelated, it would help. Can anyone else look into this also?

Made another try from a different angle:

http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/mia2.gif

LT: The thick black bordering on the sprite looks awkward on a light background, so let's try a black background.

[The Coop]

Here are the three Liquid Kids avatars you liked...

http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/Mummy.gif http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/Rockman.gif http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/Slingshot.gif

LT: Need transparent backgrounds on these. Seems like some white/blank backgrounds got retained somoehow.

... and here's my next attempt for the final four from Puzzle Bobble 2...

http://www.geocities.com/arforfaborb/FinalFour4.gif

LT: Whoaz. Haha! Gradients?

[Polo]

More colorations:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/finalthree_1.png

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/finalthree_2.png

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/finalthree_3.png

LT: Gradients?

And the pink chick (I posted it above after your comment as well):
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/puzzlebobble2_woolen.gif

LT: Yep, already grabbed it!

I also learned that the cat from the game is named Packy.

LT: Danke.

[The Coop]

Re-uploaded the three Liquid Kids ones. I have no idea how a white background got on them, but they've got transparencies now. Also, are you suggesting gradients with your reply LT?

LT: Yes, sir. Big problem seems to be that no matter what color is used on those last three, part of the character's outfit or body gets absorbed into the background and it just doesn't look good. And some of the lightest colors are just too much of a contrast and don't work with the sprite as a good background.

[Doulifée]

LT: The thick black bordering on the sprite looks awkward on a light background, so let's try a black background.


another try , one with the black background and the other one i worked on the black border to reduce it.

http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/mia2.gif-->http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/mia3.gif http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/miabb.gif

LT: Let's go ahead with the black. What game in the series is this Mia image from?

[Polo]

Gradients?
Sure. Here's a go at it:

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/f3grad_1.png

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/f3grad_2.png

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/f3grad_3.png

LT: I like the smoother gradient style of the middle column, the girl. Whether gradient or solid color, I'd say base the background color off their clothing, so purple for the vampy chick, turquoise for the girl and red for the robot. That seems like the best approach when looking at the other accepted avatar, that girl in the pink dress. She had a slightly darker pink as her background.

[Meyichi]

I suppose this is suitable to mention here...

I was browsing the avatars and noticed one titled ".hack//SIGN - Tsukasa" under anime. The character pictured is actually Elk from the .hack games. Also, Orca is not actually from .hack//SIGN but the .hack games. Probably the best thing to do would be to label them both as .hack.

I'm splitting hairs, but .hack is one of my favourite series. I like to see it correctly titled as much as possible. :3

[anosou]

I made a few sprites of Gooey from Kirby's Dreamland 3 for SNES by HAL Laboratory. Now add them so I can use them ;*

http://soundscape.escariot.net/avatars/Gooey.gif http://soundscape.escariot.net/avatars/Gooey2.gif
http://soundscape.escariot.net/avatars/Gooey4.gif http://soundscape.escariot.net/avatars/Gooey5.gif

LT: I don't like the 3rd one with the tongue sticking out, but make the backgrounds of the other 3 transparent and we can run with them. If you like, you can pick one to be your custom/exclusive avatar.

[Doulifée]

http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/MGS3_Bigboss.gif

it was requested so... atempt.

LT: Extremely blurry. You know that's no good. :-P

[*Fixed the blurr*]

LT: Hmmm... Well, it's definitely sharper, but the image itself doesn't really contrast well on the light background color of the forums. I wish I could say I was feeling this, but unfortunately I'm not. :'-(

[Olarin]

I was complaining about there not being any avatars from Ultima, so I thought I'd put a few minutes of my time where my mouth was and do something about it. Here's some from Ultima VII: The Black Gate, by Origin Systems Inc.

http://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/male.gifhttp://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/female.gifhttp://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/LB.gifhttp://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/Nystul.gif

From left to right: The Avatar (male), The Avatar (female), Lord British, Nystul

apparently I can only do 4 per post...

LT: Nystul is oogly, but that's not your fault. Good on the rest!

so here's Iolo, Shamino, and Dupre:

http://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/Iolo.gifhttp://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/Shamino.gifhttp://softpixel.com/%7Ebmellen/icons/Dupre.gif

LT: Brighten up the color a bit and we can roll with this. Looks really dark compared to other avatars. Genesis ones end up like that too for whatever reason.

Can I use this

It's from SMB1...but I like the fact that no one knows where it's from.

[Doulifée]

little fix: http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/marioblock.gif

image must be 32x32 pixels and in gif format.
Now just be patient and wait for Liontamer to accept it or not.

LT: Nah. I'd use the image at regular size. Looks like it got enlarged and the image doesn't look sharp now.

[Gollgagh]

LT: Thanks for the extra Samus. Why not, eh? Other one was almost as tall anyway. The correction on the previous Samus is also appreciated!

P: No problem. But credit for the extra Samus goes to Gollgagh (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showpost.php?p=95653&postcount=76). :-P

sheesh, took long enough

LT: LOL

[The Coop]

I know these aren't likely to be accepted, but here are most of the various things from the Atari classic, Gauntlet...

http://thecoop.webng.com/images/GauntletAvatars.gif


In order, there's...

Warrior, Valkyrie, Elf, Wizard, Ghost, Grunt, Sorcerer, Demon, Lobber, Death
Thief, Generator 1, Generator 2, Food 1, Food 2, Treasure, Potion, Amulet, Key, Exit

LT: Let's go with Warrior, Wizard, Sorcerer, Death, Generator 1, and Food 2. The rest look good within the group, but not feeling them on their own.

http://thecoop.webng.com/images/GauntletAvatars3.gif

I tried brightening the background, and then adding some color shifts to them to try and help the characters stand out more. I thought that adding more background variation choices to the original set might result in more suitable avatars.

Anyway, the original set is lined up with the two additional ones. Thoughts?

LT: Thanks for trying some other options. I actually think the originals ended up looking the best, with the images contrasting best with the darkest background. I'm still sold just on the ones I previously listed, so let's roll with those.

If you think they both suck, go with the Jade Cocoon 2 one for exclusiveness.

LT: Added these as general, and gave you the Jade Cocoon one as an exclusive. Thanks!

[sephfire]

I'm not good at these. Anyone want to take a stab at this guy? I was thinking if it didn't look good in 32x32 that maybe just the head would work. Not sure what background color would be best, but transparent could work if the image has to be cropped down to the head.

http://www.sephfire.com/DanielFloyd_avatar.jpg

Thanks!

LT: If you could put that image over a background color you liked, it would be easier to then take that and shrink it.

[Polo]

Once more, here's the Puzzle Bobble 2 test subjects (Drabo, Chun Chun, and Pikar, respectively):

The 3rd and 4th Drabo and the 4th Pikar have solid background colors; the rest are linear gradients.

LT: Let's do the 3rd vamp, 1st chick, and 2nd robot! Awesome, we finally got a great fit. Thanks for trying so hard, bro. And The Coop will be pleased.

[jayc4life]

http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/93/ikfighter3bp9.gif

Is that an improvement?

LT: Absolutely. Still seems a little dark, so I lightened it up just a bit and added it. I'll look at it later to double check if the brightness level I did was too much, but otherwise it should be set.

[Polo]

Let's do the 3rd vamp, 1st chick, and 2nd robot! Awesome, we finally got a great fit. Thanks for trying so hard, bro. And The Coop will be pleased.
Super. Here they are then:
Drabo (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/puzzlebobble2_drabo.gif)
Chun Chun (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/puzzlebobble2_chunchun.gif)
Pikar (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/puzzlebobble2_pikar.gif)

LT: Bueno. How did you get the names for these characters; I couldn't verify them anyhwere I was looking.

P: I used two sources to find their names:

1) The Spriters Resource pages (http://www.spriters-resource.com/squenix/taito/puzzle/) have names for some of the characters, but not all of them. Fortunately...

2) ...the Japanese Wiki article (http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%83%91%E3%82%BA%E3%83%AB%E3%83%9C%E3%83%96%E3%8 3%AB2) on the game does, under the Character section (キャラクター). I can read and approximate hiragana and katakana with no problems (ちゅんちゅん = Chun Chun, ドラキュラのキャラクター = "Dracula character" under Drabo/どらぼー, etc.) They also have "stage #" (ステージ#) in their descriptions, no doubt telling me when they appear. My first source notes level appearances as well, so I matched up the info and filled in the blanks.

I also watched a playthrough on Youtube, but only to count off levels and check when each character appears.

(And yes, Willy Whistle is named Drunk (どらんく) in the Japanese Bubble Bobble games.)



As for the resizes, do these look any smoother?

LT: First two are better, so they're in. The others too still look too sharp. What are the source images for those. Maybe I can take a stab at it?

P: Sure, if you'd like. Here are the sources for Yotsuba (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ytsb.jpg) and 4-tan (http://home.wanadoo.nl/blackmyst/ocrtan/ocrtv3.jpg). If you're curious, I used these (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/yotsuba_crop.png) crops (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/4tan_crop.png) to color replace/downsize/sharpen. If you change your mind, lemme know and I'll tackle these two again.

[Polo]

Glad to see Yotsuba and 4-tan made it in by your hands, Larry. (Clever choice cropping 4-tan closer like that.) I also like the surprise additions like Metroid 2 Samus, the Dragon Quest enemies (facilitating the Enix category), and the Shatterhand hero. Really freshens things up.

LT: The Yotsuba one turned out aight, but I'm pissed I couldn't get the 4-tan any sharper without it looking messed up. Not what I would have preferred, but couldn't crop any closer. Glad you saw the others; I did those a little ways back. I added some more this morning, coincidentally. Not a host of them, but maybe 10 spread across several categories. Some only got 1, but they're in Hudson Soft, Konami, Nintendo, Nintendo ~ Mario (most of 'em), Sammy, SNK, and misc.

Some refinements...

Capcom ~ Fighters
· There's actually no "h" in Jon Talbain's name. Like Jon Arbuckle.
· The Card Fighters 2 Cammy is missing her native background, so here's a fix-up:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/svccard2_cammy.gif

Capcom ~ Mega Man
· Mega Man: Mega Man (portrait 2) is from Rockman 2: The Power Fighters (his health bar icon).
· Mega Man: Frog is named "Croacker" according to the Mega Man 2 instruction manual (that extra 'c' must've been a typo, though).
· Mega Man V: Gyro is named Power Massler.

Nintendo ~ Mario
· Yoshi's Island: Snowman is named Huffin Puffin.

Sega ~ Sonic
· Sonic the Hedgehog: Piranha is named Chopper.

Square ~ Final Fantasy
· Final Fantasy IV: Imp (green) - Part of his hat is missing, plus its extension was ICO when I saved it, so here's a pure-GIF replacement:

· The Lufia 1 and 2 avatars belong in the Taito category, since they first published those games. (I know this category would be left with just three avatars, but still.)

Other
· That other 4-tan is also by blackmyst, in case you want to add it (in parentheses).

Castlevania 3 figures and weapons:

LT: Skeleton with a bone whip? Sure.
I assume you changed your mind because his feet cut off. Care for a foot job?
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/cv3_skeleton_whip2.gif

LT: Thanks for all the fixes. Gonna have to find some more Sunsoft stuff!

[anosou]

LT: Added these as general, and gave you the Jade Cocoon one as an exclusive. Thanks!

Sweet, thought you forgot about this :) I'll probably rip some more achievement logos later, xbox.com is a goldmine for nice avatars.

[Polo]

To partially fill the gap left by the Lufia avatars' migration, here are some Sunsoft avatars...

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/sunsoft_avvies.png

Wynn from Atlantis no Nazo; Batman (full sprite and title screen capture) from Batman (NES); Uncle Fester (in-game and intro) from Fester's Quest; Yumetarō (a stuffed animal) from Gimmick!; Gizmo from Gremlins 2: The New Batch; a blob or something (I couldn't find an appropriate enemy list) from Hebereke; Jay McCray (in-game and intro) from Journey to Silius; a title screen Lemming from Lemmings (SNES); and Lucia from Wing of Madoola.

Pick any winners from here (http://s32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/Sunsoft/).

And here's three more characters from Guilty Gear Petit 2:

LT: Most of 'em were oogly (not your fault, clearly), but I grabbed the Batman intro pic, Jay intro and Lemming, plus the GGP2 ones. Thanks!

[Arek the Absolute]

A request just because this guy is full of awesome.

Any possible way to get a Mr.L avatar from Super Paper Mario?

I personally am content with my avatar, but I think it would be cool just to have cause around the site cause I mean...he is Mr. L! Supreme bad ass.

EDIT:

Here is the bad ass, just in case for reference.

Death Note: Kira Game

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/deathnotekiragame_misaamane.gif Misa Amane

LT: A little too sharp/pixelated on the edges. Looking at the facial borders, especially for the first two, you can see there's not enough smoothness, even though the sharpness level seems good.

Dragon's Lair - Dirk the Daring
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/dragonslair_dirkthedaring.gif

LT: Not your fault, but at this size, the contrast isn't strong enough. The lines of the face aren't distinct enough.

Duke Nukem 3D - Duke Nukem
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/dukenukem3d_dukenukem.gif

LT: Nice.

FF7 - Vincent Valentine
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ff7_vincentvalentine.gif

LT: Not enough contrast for the image to stand out, but might be nothing you can do.

MegaRace - Lance Boyle
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/megarace_lanceboyle.gif

LT: Bad pic. Sorry, Lance.

And Arek's request, Mr. L from Super Paper Mario
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/superpapermario_mrL.gif

LT: need it on a non-white background and we could roll with it.

Polo- Thanks for working on those four from PB2. I would have chosen different ones from what LT did (I would have gone with the 1st vamp, 3rd chick and 2nd robot since they looked more visible overall), but they're included now, so kudos to ya :-)

Glad to help. :)

By the way, do you still have those three Liquid Kids avatars from before (rock guy, slingshot-holding orb, and mummy)? I think your site went down before Larry could add them with transparent backgrounds...

----------

And cool new additions, LT! I never would've guessed the Super Mario Bros. 3 "Green Thing" (part of a hill cluster (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/smb3_hills.png)) would make it in. Ha!

Anyway, here's some overdue/supplemental quickies...

Tetris Attack - Little Yoshi:

Tetris - J Block:

And two child Rydias from FF4:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ff4_rydia_child.gif http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ff4_rydia_child_face.gif

LT: Danke. I had the L and J reversed, so you actually provided an L. My spatial skills are clearly poop. What's the root image of the yellow Yoshi? I'd rather have more of his head fitting into the space at the expense of the (cool) bubbles.

P: Like the other TA characters, that's how Little Yoshi's icon is cropped/presented in the game (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/littleyoshi.png). I only upped the brightness and contrast, like what Nineko and The Coop did back then, since in-game they're kinda dark.

And thanks for your detailed comments about my resizes; they're quite insightful and challenging. I'll post revisions in due time.

EDIT: And I was a bit perturbed to learn that several avatars aren't GIFs, but BMPs (and one JPG). So here's a list of GIF-transformation updates to:

LT: Many thanks. We push for GIFs not because other files don't work, but because of the filesize, so while a small detail, these are really helpful. Thanks very much!

[The Coop]

Super Paper Mario - Mr. L
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/spm_mrL.gif (green background)

Oh yeah, and one more BMP that should be a GIF (Misc category):
Ogre Battle 64: Quass (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ogrebattle64_quass3.gif)

LT: Bueno bueno.

[The Coop]

LT: Danke. I reckon those guys don't have names.

Not that I could find. I searched like crazy for info about that game and its characters, but came up with virtually nothing beyond the name of the main character.

LT: S'ok.

lol!

EDIT: Wtf, Liontamer's post just bounced down to below mine even though it was already there when I posted! Something wrong with the server's clock?

[Liontamer]

Along with adding boss portraits for MMX1 & 2, I've added Mega Mans 2 through 7.

Now YOU can be Yamato Man.

[Txai]

I am done with the MMX3 portraits. Since there is a limit to 4 posted pictures, I decided to store them here (http://www.fileupyours.com/view/149382/mmx3_portraits.rar) to avoid double posting.

Hopefully those are sharpen enough.

LT: I redid Neon Tiger and Tunnel Rhino, but otherwise these are bueno. They're all set.

[Polo]

Wow Liontamer, that's quite the commitment adding a metric ton of Mega Man-related boss mugs (and a few others). No mislabels + all pure GIFs + Shadow Man and Storm Eagle portrait upgrades + classic/X category division = U R TEH NACHO MAN

LT: Props to Capcom for giving us that much avatar fodder. Not many franchises have sprites that work with our size requirements.

I also have questions/concerns/one new sub...

- Was kneeling Zero http://img73.imageshack.us/img73/9971/mmxzero8xx.gif deliberately removed in favor of the new standing Zero?

LT: Yep. See ya.

- In the Misc. category, "Ogre Battle 64: Quass" and "Monkey Island 1" don't show up like the others. Selecting either as an avatar only shows the url path by the username. If they were lost somehow, here they are:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ogrebattle64_quass3.gif
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/monkeyisland1.gif

LT: Just needed to correct some filenames.

Tetris Attack - Little Yoshi:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/ta_littleyoshi.gif

LT: What's the root image of the yellow Yoshi? I'd rather have more of his head fitting into the space at the expense of the (cool) bubbles.

If you still want a better facial shot, can I interest you in a three-pixel-width custom edit (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/littleyoshi_2.gif)?

LT: No need for a custom job; when I see images like that, I just need to see context to know the cropping was optimal.

http://www.doulifee.com/Storage/avatar/ocr/miabb.gif

LT: Let's go ahead with the black. What game in the series is this Mia image from?
mia is from Phoenix Wright -Justice for all-
Just a reminder, since I didn't see Mia in the Capcom category.

LT: I uploaded the file back in June and forgot to make it active, but it's set now, thanks.

And speaking of great justice, here's Zero Punctuation's Yahtzee:
http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/yahtzee.gif

LT: Excellent choice.

[SoloGamer]

I found the portraits for the other four robot masters from Mega Man 9 at some Mega Man wiki (http://megaman.wikia.com/wiki/Mega_Man_9)

Tornado Man:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR/tornado.gif

There's also an in-game sprite in each boss' article, but they're all larger than 32 X 32 (except for Tornado Man (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR/tornadoman.gif))

LT: Mucho bueno.

A few more Mega Man 9 sprite rips. First, some logos.

Dr. Light Logo:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR%20Avatars/DrLight.gif
Also available in black (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR%20Avatars/DrLightBlack.gif) if it's too similar to the Dr. Wily logo.

Dr. Right Logo (from the Japanese version):

Again, also available in black (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR%20Avatars/DrRightBlack.gif)

While I'm at it, here's Mr. X's (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR%20Avatars/Mr_X_Megaman_6.gif) logo from Mega Man 6.

Roll (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/mm_roll_face.gif)

LT: Those are all kind of ugly looking. May not be the case, but are the MM1 faces actually too large to fit 32x32? Seems like the were cropped slightly, but I could be wrong. In any case, most of them were ugly. :'-(

And if you don't mind two more literally over-the-top avatars, here's full sprites of Doc Robot (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/mm3_docrobot.gif) (MM3) and Vile (http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d13/polo_83/mmx1_vile.gif) (MMX).

LT: Nah. Doc Robot's not a mission critical character, so I'll pass on the oversized one. Vile's too large on both dimensions rather than just the height.

Here's some Mother 3 sprites. Please tell me if I am doing it wrong.

[SoloGamer]

Nice work, Polo. I was planning on posting the doc robot portrait, but it slipped my mind.

not done yet, still have to rip these bitches myself

You could also just gank them from sprite sites like this one (http://www.spriters-resource.com/nintendo/mother/mother3/), though it's best to wait until after you finish the game (spoliers and all).

To help out a bit, here's some Pigmasks, with alt poses to spice things up since they're all just palette swaps

EDIT: I just noticed the general lack of Mother avatars, despite it having its own section, so here's a bunch of submissions (http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v609/SoloGamer87/OCR%20Avatars/Mother/) from Mother 3 and a three EB enemies (Mad Duck, Enraged Fire Plug, and Mystical Record). Names are in the file names
And here's a rar (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/117505/OCR/Mother3.rar) of all the submissions in this post, for your mass downloading convenience.

LT: Lots of good stuff in here, so I chose what looked best; excellent stuff!

[Vilecat]

I know it might not exactly be appropriate for me to ask this here, but just delete this post if so.

The avatar I currently have doesn't show in the list. It mysteriously disappeared after the first "major patch" of avatars was added, and I still can't find it anywhere. Figured I could mention this here since that's where you pick new avatars to upload there. I really love the lil bugger and I'm afraid of picking a different avatar then regretting because I don't like it as much.


BTW much <3 for all the new ones guys!

It doesn't show up because you have it chosen. If you pick a different avatar, your old one will show up on the list again, and your new one will disappear from it. It's just how the setup works.

Since I'm the worst picture editor ever I urge someone else to tackle at least two of these:

http://fallout.bethsoft.com/eng/downloads/avatars.html

The Vault Boy-face especially.

thankies!

also is the size-limit still 32x32? I saw Shariq with this huge-ass avatar and I became jealous D':

[Mirby]

I wanted to request an avatar here.
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y194/dakirbymaster/Cynthia-1.gif

It is an 8-Bit version of my OC, Cynthia, and this version was used for a modification of the Rockman 7 - FC game that was released. I hope it counts, because I want to change my avatar to this, if possible.

LT: Nah, no OCs. We're just doing in-game characters/objects.

[Arek the Absolute]

Any way we can get this sprite of magus as an avatar?

http://i37.tinypic.com/1218inm.png

I am thinking it is probably too big, but here is hoping.

Taken from a magus sprite sheet. I know it looks like crap. Polo, think you can make it look "pretty"? :)

LT: Not feeling that shot anyway, so I wouldn't use it. :lol:

[Dafydd]

It's not too big (not by today's standards anyway), you just need to crop it (remove the empty space around it) and give it a transparent background. Maybe a little contrast/brightness tinkering.

Like so: http://www.ngst.nu/magus.gif
But isn't there a picture of him showing his face? Looks like he's got his back turned here.

[SoloGamer]

It's not too big (not by today's standards anyway)
Did the max dimensions get changed? I know LT added a few avatars that are larger, but the OP still says 32 x 32 is the max image size.

LT: It's my discretion, but I'm generally only going to allow exceptions in height, and the avatar obviously has to look very good.

[Dafydd]

I know, but I've seen much bigger ones. Technically the limit still stands but LT has been making several exceptions,
like this 31x42 one: http://www.ocremix.org/forums/images/avatars/games/capcommegamanx/mmx1_xjumpfire.gif

I don't know how big they can get but I doubt you could stretch beyond 40x40 (i.e. exceeding the limit by more than a few pixels in either dimension). 36x32 shouldn't be a problem though.

LT: It's mostly going to be height exceptions, not width. If we mess with width a lot, it starts screwing with the alignment of names, which I'm not down with.

[Doulifée]

Any way we can get this sprite of magus as an avatar?

http://i37.tinypic.com/1218inm.png

I am thinking it is probably too big, but here is hoping.

Taken from a magus sprite sheet. I know it looks like crap. Polo, think you can make it look "pretty"? :)

backtrack the thread, i think someone already submited those, Larry took some sprite of magus but not this one.

[Arek the Absolute]

It's not too big (not by today's standards anyway), you just need to crop it (remove the empty space around it) and give it a transparent background. Maybe a little contrast/brightness tinkering.

Like so: http://www.ngst.nu/magus.gif
But isn't there a picture of him showing his face? Looks like he's got his back turned here.

I like it because it is a cool pose for him :p

Would there be a problem with his face not showing? :?

EDIT: What programs are you guys using to make these? I wanna try taking a whack at making some CT avatars. There is a lack of some that I think would go great, if possible.

LT: Obviously, I prefer faces showing, but there's no inherent problem with the pose showing his back, I just don't like it.

[Polo]

Arek - Dafydd pretty much did what I would've done to that Magus sprite. That's about as "pretty" as it can get. :P Also, I use Paint Shop Pro 5 (and sometimes Photoshop CS3).

Dafydd - :nicework: And yes, there's two existing Magus sprites. Check the Square: Chrono category for them.

SoloGamer - Like Dafydd said, the max dimensions are still 32x32, but bigger sprites can be added, sparingly, at Larry's discretion.

Doulifée - Actually, that particular Magus sprite was never subbed before, not even by Joyzilla or Nineko.

Liontamer - Could you edit the OP if you cut the image tags from all but 4 of Joyzilla's subs? You know, to add a note about the larger exceptions (and cut the bit about you moving :lol:)?

[Mirby]

I've got Pencil Puzzles from Tips & Tricks. They may be 40x40, but if it's okay, I could post them, or links to them if you want them.

[Dafydd]

I like it because it is a cool pose for him :p

Would there be a problem with his face not showing? :?

EDIT: What programs are you guys using to make these? I wanna try taking a whack at making some CT avatars. There is a lack of some that I think would go great, if possible.

I don't mind a face not showing, it's just weird to have an avatar showing you his ass. Kidding. I don't know what LT would say about it, he has opinions about all kinds of things... like avatars being too ugly to be accepted... :roll:

I use Paint.NET. It's free and everything, I mean, what's not to like? (Yeah, it does lack support for animated gifs, but hey, animated avatars aren't allowed anyway)

[Polo]

Faces from MM3:

LT: Those are all kind of ugly looking. May not be the case, but are the MM1 faces actually too large to fit 32x32? Seems like the were cropped slightly, but I could be wrong.
I nicked the MM1 bosses and Roll from the Mega Man 3 ending (http://www.vgmuseum.com/end/nes/a/mm3.htm). They're 32x32, but if you look closely, you can see their mugshots droop down past their black backdrops by one pixel, so I added an unobtrusive line of black on the bottom of each and cropped accordingly.

But hey, if they're ugly, they're ugly. I won't argue. :P

Anyway, a few more MM-related sprites before I forget 'em...

[Txai]

I would like to replace an avatar already in the site; it is Brad Fang from Contra HardCorps.

^ It is the one I am currently using.

This picture is not bad, but there is some blur in the edge. Could you pick the one below instead? It has a better looking:

Pretty much all portraits from the game now.

LT: I didn't have any problem with the blur, but going without it does allow more of the image to show. Nice work providing these, thanks!

[Dafydd]

I actually think the blur is sort of cool. But it does stand out from the other avatars.

[The Coop]

Joust avatars for potential consideration...

http://thecoop.webng.com/images/JoustAvatars.gif

In order, they are...

Player 1, Bounder, Hunter, Shadow Lord, Player 1 flying, Bounder flying, Hunter flying, Shadow Lord flying, pterodactyl, Hunter grabbed by Lava Troll (with fire), Player grabbed by Lava Troll (with fire), Hunter grabbed by Lava Troll, and Player grabbed by Lava Troll. I can make the Bounder and Shadow Lord grabbed by the Lava Troll as well if wanted/needed.

LT: Hate to shoot these down, but the core of the image is just too small. Could try a slightly tighter cropping, but I'm not sure if it would fly. Worth trying though.

[FR]

http://img525.imageshack.us/img525/2142/0909.gif

Please add this, Thank you.

This too:
http://img25.imageshack.us/img25/2210/kirbyface5.gif

SSB kirby.

LT: Gonna have to clarify why I'd want to add a random cat avatar. That some sort of mega-famous interweb cat? Either way, I'll pass. Kirby isn't sharp enough. Gotta scale back on these subs where the image quality isn't good.

Ostriches and buzzards.

In order...

Galaxian 1, Galaxian 2, Galaxian 3, Galaxian 4, Ship, Galaxian 1 Attacking, Galaxian 2 Attacking, Galaxian 3 Attacking, Galaxian 4 Attacking

LT: Ship's too small, but if you zoom in on it, we can roll with that. Added the first half of the enemies/convoys. No need to add the enemies in charger form. Thanks!

might want to flip astro man so he's looking to the right

LT: I took Clown, Frost, Grenade & Tengu Man from MM8, since those were sharp crops. The rest got messed up with the resizing efforts and don't look sharp, so they're all NO-GO! You need to use Photoshop or something good to handle resizes.

These are all horrible. What is wrong with the original? Who cares about white pixels?

If someone is legitimately good at this sort of thing, here is the original, unshrunk png:

http://eu.unmod.org/pixplz/pyoro.png

LT: Unlike what FR said below, the white-ish pixels of the 1st one were fine, because the images are on an off-white background and are colored that way in order to smooth the re-sized image. Stray pixels are bad, but not stuff for smoothing. So this one is good. Can you lemme know which specific WarioWare game that art is from?

you got white pixels around the pic fyi

LT: Too much over the limit. They just look way oversized, even compared to the few exceptions to 32x32.

3) The approved avatars here (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showpost.php?p=467033&postcount=854) and here (http://www.ocremix.org/forums/showpost.php?p=467602&postcount=855) patiently await being uploaded.

LT: Did those a while back.

Sharpened vault boy. :-)

LT: Too sharp.

Also, mirror's edge logo:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v323/yodaisbetter/other/mirrors-edge.gif

LT: Not sure on that one. Maybe it's just because it's rectangular. I may go with this one.

I hope this is still actually going on.

Eh, hell; I'll go ahead and post some more.

LT: They all lack sharpness, and the cropping around the neck looks awkward, with a couple of exceptions. Generally, the crops at the bottom are too tight, cutting out the neck/chin areas.

[anosou]

If someone could grab http://anosou.com/avatar1.jpg , cut out my face (face+beard+hair, no pony tail) and make it 32x32 with transparent background and FANTASTIC CLARITY I'd be forever in your debt.

It's me, it's game related and it would be the best avatar EVER.

You're welcome :) It actually looks kind of crappy to me now that I examine it closer, but if you're satisfied then I won't worry about it for now. If for some reason it doesn't meet the quality standards, just shoot me a PM and I'll try it again.

Lulz

Afaik, distinguished members of the boards get to pick a unique avatar. I don't know if it's enough to be a distinguished ReMixer. Or if random, non-game characters are ok, or even if this is one. Googling for "blindman" found me another japanese, strange band I'd never heard of before.

LT: It's enough to be a ReMixer, sure. ReMixers are OCR's primary contributors.

[Arek the Absolute]

If possible, could someone make some Tales of Symphonia avatars?

This board needs more tales :)

[LuketheXjesse]

I fixed the avatars I posted previously, but I'll post those later. This place needs many more Guilty Gear Avatars. I will name the specific game for each avatar.

LT: I took a couple, but most of them were resizes that weren't sharp. Some of the sprite-based ones were the only ones that turned out decent. Thanks for what did work though.

So you took them...are you adding them anytime soon? :-o

LT: Did a while ago.

[buh6173]

I have to wonder whether or not this is still happening.

LT: Once in a blue, I check this. We have over 1,000 now. We're pretty good as far as avatars.

Hm... Used sharpen a bit. Too much?

I want these. Dibs on Noxus. :D

All 7 (http://filesap.com/r/275m/mphavatars/).

You don't have anything better to do, Liontamer or whoever's gonna add them. You don't have anything better to do. No. You don't. :D

LT's comments:
Kaden: Can barely tell what that is, but looks some sort of honeycomb thingamabobber. Sure. Sylux too, I'll live.
Noxus/Trace: Doesn't look like anything.
Samus: Too tight of a crop, but I'll live.
Spire: Ugly.

[buh6173]

Oh, and what does the arrow icon on the topic mean?

[relyanCe]

requesting disgaea avatars, preferably Laharl/Etna/Adell/Prinny

http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll78/bvenator/th_PrinnyAvatar.gif Prinny (dood!)

LT: Not a good crop. But if you can figure out a better crop and keep it sharp, we can roll with it.

[Emunator]

Oh, and what does the arrow icon on the topic mean?
That means it's a topic you've posted in at least once before.

[Kinslayer]

i have a question, since user CP mentions the ability to use a custom avatar, how do I manage to get one, I can make an avatar in no time...especially this size, I'm just curious as to how to get one on the site? Any help available?

I think you just post it in this thread and Liontamer or whoever's in charge will add it to the database when he feels like it.

[atmuh]

ok so fine larry if you read this at all i guess you didnt wanna use my custom belle avatar (pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease) but anyways i uploaded a regular belle one since you DO have a movies/tv section
http://i36.tinypic.com/wtzyja.gif

LT: Way too dark. I think I'll pass on most Disney movie stuff anyway. Don't see any broader appeal.

also a couple from lucky star since there are none atm

please upload these!

edit oh yeah heres aurora from sleepy beauty too

LT: Uhhh...pretty irrelevant. I'll have to pass.

[relyanCe]

LT must like never check this thread

LT: Never.

[KyleJCrb]

Lately he doesn't check any threads. Blame his new job.

LT: Correct!

[buh6173]

Is there any chance we could get some other mod or something to go over these and approve them?

LT: Nope.

[relyanCe]

Is there any chance we could get some other mod or something to go over these and approve them?

what this honkey said.

i want my prinny ava!

LT: OK, but make it better.

[atmuh]

hey HEY HEY LARRRY PLEASE CHECK THRED

LT: Gradually checking it.

[The Damned]

Uhmmm, how would you feel about having roughly 500 or so? I think I can get some Pokémon related ones, namely each pokémon and some game-related symbols and icons.

LT: I'd pretty much use my discretion on what I'd take, but feel free to do a few to make sure they're the right quality and we'll move from there.

[Syndicated.Corpse]

Can I get this as a Avatar?
http://i38.tinypic.com/10py0l3.jpg

[Rozovian]

Not without shrinking it down to 32*32 or whatever the standard is now.

Then it's the question of whether Larry approves of the image (relevance to video game/geek culture, copyright, stuff like that), and then finally a matter of when Larry gets around to check this thread and in what order he adds what he chooses to add.

-

edit:
1. Basic format is that pics should look good when cropped/resized/F'ed-around-width. That means centered, with sharp resolution, and with transparency when necessary. Shit that looks poorly done is gonna be mercilessly called out by me.

2. 32x32 is the maximum dimensions we accept. Smaller than that is OK. GIF format is the ONLY file format we accept.

3. Please name the files or detail in your posts what characters/games are being shown so that we'll be able to seperate the avatars by game series, company, whatever.

4. Anime, comic book, TV and other types of avatars are allowed, but this is primarily a video game devoted site and the major majority of avatars accepted will be VG-related.

5. I will edit my comments into your posts, so please check what you're posting in order to see my direct comments. I save everything I think is already good and will host them on OCR's FTP when they're needed.

LT: What he said. I probably wouldn't take that heart. Doesn't look like it would shrink down well.

[buh6173]

Still waiting on it...

LT: Sorry for the wait.

[IrateResearchers]

Would someone do every vocaloid, or have they already done so?

I'll try my hand at some later, but right now I don't have access to my Photoshop.

LT: Cool. Vocaloid one are welcome.

[buh6173]

I don't even know if they're doing it anymore; they haven't added a new one in ages.

LT: You sure do complain a lot. Consider changing your handle to wah6173. :-)

[Pachi Risu]

Whenever there is time, could this replace the current avatar? details are below.

Cowboy Bebop - Spike Spiegel (http://i46.tinypic.com/f02r20.gif)
Read that anime was part of the exceptions, does this still hold true?
Let me know the report on it when you get a chance. Thanks

LT: Anime avatars are fine, but that one barely looks like anything. No dice.

[Sammy D]

Could I get some Uprising Teddy Bear? It's the teddy bear from the Muse Uprising single cover. It could be filed under non-game Other.

http://sites.google.com/site/drsammydinc/UprisingTeddy.gif

LT: The image link is broken, but I looked at the album cover and don't see it working as an avatar.

Apologies if Breath of Fire 1 avatars have already been posted for future consideration, but the thread is reeeeally long so admittedly I haven't scoured it to see what has and hasn't been uploaded.

[buh6173]

Ugh, these haven't been looked at in months...

[IrateResearchers]

Ugh, these haven't been looked at in months...

I know. It saddens me.

[The Coop]

Guys, you're forgetting something very important...

This is a side project. LT has a lot of other things to do that are higher up on the importance scale... especially since there's already quite a few avatars to choose from. I know you all want more choices, but just chill. He'll get back here eventually.

As the old Saturn ad used to say, "patience is a virtua."

[buh6173]

Well, if that's the case, can't he put another mod on the job?

I mean, it's not like he's the only one capable of adding images to a server

[The Coop]

Well, if that's the case, can't he put another mod on the job?

I mean, it's not like he's the only one capable of adding images to a server

But he is the only one who knows what he's looking for in terms of quality. He's the one who has been doing the evaluating from the start after all, and someone else coming in and deciding what's good and bad may or may not yield avatars that meet (in his opinion) the standards that have been set. It's not just adding avatars, it's making sure they're of consistent quality.

The only other person who seems to be on the same (VG) frequency is Polo, who's gotten quite a few avatars accepted. And even then, I don't know if LT would be willing to hand over the keys as it were.

So for now, you'll just have to wait.

[Polo]

The only other person who seems to be on the same (VG) frequency is Polo, who's gotten quite a few avatars accepted. And even then, I don't know if LT would be willing to hand over the keys as it were.
200 and counting, but even I haven't got LT's view of Bueno vs. Ugly down. And I think my Wiki account for updating mascot bios is enough authority on my part. But I appreciate the recognition. :-)

Also, The Otaku, your Bleu sub is 33 pixels wide instead of 32. Might wanna shave off the dark blue column on the left.

[The Coop]

You deserve it.

I think I've got somewhere in the 30s that I did myself, and a handful of avatars that were tag teamed onto the site.

[buh6173]

Well, I requested a bunch of TWEWY avatars a few months ago, and it would be nice if they were at least uploaded.

[FR]

gonna have to wait longer

[buh6173]

Any word on this?

[Gollgagh]

LT's not even watching the name change thread

I think he's too busy with IRL or smth

[Kaxon]

I propose the addition of Riou, main character from Suikoden 2:

http://www.oraclechallenge.com/kaxon/riou.gif

LT: Yep, not sharp enough, but if you go too far, it'll be oversharpened.

[FR]

pretty sure lt is gonna say it's not zoomed out and not sharp enough or something

[Mirby]

I proposed my Pencil Puzzle avatars for use (they're in my sig now), but nothing came of it.

[Melbu Frahma]

Bump.

There are so many avatars that I would love to use that have yet to be approved/uploaded.

Agreed.

Mmm... suppose, seeing as how I have decent amounts of free time on my hands every so often, I should see if I can hunt down some new avatars too.

[Rozovian]

I've got some FFX and Monkey Island ones in the works. What, weird combination you say?

[Gollgagh]

These are all from The World Ends With You (Square-Enix)

[...]

LT: The details are too difficult to see when scaled down this much.

those are actually at-resolution sprites

he just cut the top 32 px of hte sprites for those and there you go

(also left them non-transparent, but that's fixed easily enough)

LT: Oof. That's actually pretty devastating. Forget 'em then. :'-(

[Liontamer]

These are caught up.

[LuketheXjesse]

So you took them...are you adding them anytime soon? :-o

LT: Did a while ago.

Er, you say you added the Guilty Gear ones, but I honest to god can't find them in the avatar list. They should be listed under the company "Sammy".

[Liontamer]

Bren McGuire from Mega Turrican.

I made one of The Machine from the same game but I dunno if you'll like it. It's from the box art.

Found a page with some potential Legend of Dragoon avatars, although I think they're a tad on the big side. Take a look, Liontamer, and if they're high quality enough I'll be glad to resize them.

http://www.animeim.com/buddy-icons/legend-of-dragoon.html (http://www.animeim.com/buddy-icons/legend-of-dragoon.html)

Edit: Okay, I got bored, and edited the four dragoon images. Here they are.

http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww99/DuretheWarrior/OCR%20Avatars/th_AlbertAvatar.jpg

I'll see if I can find images for the others as well.

LT: Nah, they don't look that clear, even at 48 x 48.

It's hard to find decent images for the other dragoons, but here's some of the leading ladies:

http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww99/DuretheWarrior/OCR%20Avatars/th_mirandaavatar2.jpg

I have a closer-up version of Miranda, too, but in my opinion there's too much yellow in it, so I cut hers back a bit to give more white and definition.

LT: Not sharp enough.

Last ones for today, but I thought all the dragoons needed to be represented in my submissions for fairness' sake.

LT: Not sharp enough.

Okay, I lied. I made four more, so all the main characters have one in their human forms. Except Albert and Miranda. I'll get around to them eventually.

LT: Not sharp enough.

EDIT: Okay, I just realized I'm an asinine fool, and made all those avatars in .jpg format. I've converted them all to .gif format, and I'll link them - and a few others I've made since then - to this post.

Hopefully, some of these are usable. For any that aren't, if you can hint at what's not working, I can try to fix them.

LT: Not sharp enough. Took the 2 Vivis and LoD's Haschel. If you post a lot, better to make a ZIP file and properly name the files to indicate both game & character.

Once again, the higher quality PNG versions are available if someone could make better looking GIFs out of them than these.

LT: Poorly chosen crops, and the dithering ruins them. No chance anything like this would ever, ever, ever, ever be accepted, to be blunt. You should fix/address issues before spending you time uploading these, because it's a waste of your time.

[RTYPEpilot]

Hey all.

I would imagine they've been disabled some time ago, but somehow I was able to use a custom avatar when I first registered...

Quick question:
Are animated avatars being considered? If so, what would be the file size limit?

LT:
1. I've been here since 2002 and you couldn't use custom avatars, so that's wrong.
2. No animated GIFs.

[Gollgagh]

holy crap mirby the dithering on those looks plain awful

gimme the pngs and I'll see if I can get them optimized better

[Mirby]

You can only use the avatars available to you now. And I'm not sure about the animated ones..

Also, a heads up. I'm gonna start uploading a bunch of Mega Man avvys here; hopefully they're all acceptable...

I hate .gif files...

I'll pm you the password to my photobucket (the guest password, not my account password). They're all there.

[Gollgagh]

I know how this works

I'm telling you to put them in a zip and up them to mediafire or something

edit: go go gadget reading comprehension

[Mirby]

right... hold on a sec

http://www.mediafire.com/?oyejzm44mmz
there.

[Gollgagh]

thanks ~<3

[Mirby]

no prob. I hope something can be done about them... especially the Axl one.

I want that as my avvy. :D

[Gollgagh]

preview pic links to set:

http://img193.imageshack.us/img193/8606/avatargifpreview.png (http://www.mediafire.com/?yntyhnzwnh1)

those are exactly as the gifs look

honestly I probably should have sharpened most of them up a bit, but I was in a hurry

I'll give em a second over tomorrow

LT: The MMX7 ones suck. Dunno what happened, but they're not sharp at all. The X8s look fine since the dithering didn't destroy them.

[Mirby]

Thanks; they look great to me!

Now to figure out how you did that... I still have quite a few avvys to do...

[RTYPEpilot]

Thanks. I'll just let my question marinate for a while.

[Rozovian]

I would imagine they've been disabled some time ago, but somehow I was able to use a custom avatar when I first registered...

Quick question:
Are animated avatars being considered? If so, what would be the file size limit?

Custom avatars are available to select ppl. bLINd recently got one. I think it's posted remixers/staff only, Larry can give you a definitive answer when he comes by this thread. In 2013. ;)

I haven't seen an animated avatar on here. Sig pics, yes, avatars, no. Probably no. Again, Larry for a definitive answer.

--

Gollgagh, they could probably use a touch of sharpen, 2 and 3 look ok; 4, 5, 7 might be sharp enough too, the rest are a bit too blurry for what I imagine Larry accepting. Numbers 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12 and 16 could be a bit brighter.

[Mirby]

RType: I did answer your question! It was the majority of my post after Gollgagh's!

Hopefully this gets accepted before June begins

I'm still waiting to hear if the X series avatars Gollgagh so kindly fixed for me are going through. Thanks again, Gollgagh! ^_^

I can wait until after June; I've got my Axl sig ready. But I need the Axl avvy to go with it. :P
