• Making a perfect Fp avatar?
    16 replies, posted
Alright, I caught a perfect screenshot in TF2 and decided to make an avatar out of it. I only saved the face and the next thing I need is to add borderlines and make the face look perfect in a 100x100 box. All I need is the face to be fit and 1 pixel borderlines. [url=http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=237868]Suttles[/url] has the similar avatar: Borderlines and the face except the background. P.S: My current avatar is the failed attempt.
[URL]http://www.facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=913176[/URL] Ask there, my friend. And supply us with the screenshot. Also, the maximum size for an avatar is 80x80 pixels.
A lil' guide would be nice so I wouldn't need to bother again in the future. :v: Edit: The custom image size is either 80x80 or 29.3KB, which is 100x100 8-bit.
New layer. CTRL + A. Right click -> Stroke. (With any selection tool selected) Black, 1px, inside.
Ok, got the borderlines, now the transparency problem. Also, how can I make 419x619 look perfect in 100x100?
Furry avatar works well, lots of people would like it, trust me.
No no, it's 80x80 or 102.4Kb. You can't have an avatar that's 100x100 and 102.4Kb.
Blue members only get 29.3kb. :'(

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;22564042][IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/14b179u.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] Thanks, but what about this one? [IMG]http://i45.tinypic.com/2s81gg3.png[/IMG] Edit: Funny, this one has no white background. Edit1: :psyduck: Why do I have white background? Edit2: All fixed. :buddy:
Actually, Suttles did NOT make that avatar, I did. :v: [editline]12:18AM[/editline] To fix the background, make the avatar 80x80. If you make it larger, the upload script for the avatars automatically makes it a .jpg, which means no transparency.

Works! Thanks for the help! :buddy:
Frame sucks. Remove it.
I made my own frame with the pencil tool. Just stroke along the edges at one pixel thickness, pure black.

You don't use a frame when your avatar has a transparent background
