Combat Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 That really depends, what kind of Avatar are you looking for? Deviant-art with safe search on sometimes has good pictures, along with Steam if your looking for a game related one. Or google. If your looking for one of the blue ones, James Cameron is making the second movie in 2017, so you have some time to go ask him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darvan Korematsu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Simple. Find a picture you like. Make sure it's lower than 500 KB in size, and it's clean. Go to your profile. Add in the URL of the image or the image file itself into the two options presented. Click "Done" and violá. You got 1 new good avatar.

Arkhi Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Make sure it's lower than 500 KB in size Are you sure 500KB is the limit? From what I see, the image size limit is 750KB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darvan Korematsu Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Nah it has to do with your Ace deal. You have a max size of 750. Everyone else (like Members such as myself) have a 500 max limit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkhi Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 I thought that may be the case. Thanks for the answer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 People have been wondering how I do it, so I guess this a good place to explain it. For DeviantArt: [Find more like this] and [view gallery] are must do's if you find something you like. It usually does a good job of finding stuff with a similar art style and/or subject. If a person drew one thing awesome, chances are they drew other awesome things too and will draw more awesome stuff (hit that watch button). For Pinterest: if you find something you like, take a browse through other collections that have that in there. Basically the same advice I gave for DA. For example: say I like this picture. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/322218548319424162/ It shows you a board it came from: https://www.pinterest.com/yoyopi02/anime/ And it has a lot of interesting stuff to pick and choose from. If you find a good picture, there's usually a link in the description area somewhere that takes you to the website page where it was originally found from, so you can be linked to someone's DA gallery or other places where artists put up their works for you to enjoy. Take advantage of following those links. In General: There will be a lot of chaff- keep looking. You'd be surprised at what didn't get noticed when it came out and will appear in later pages. I like to use Lightshot to screencap things. You just hit the print screen button and you make a box around what you want keep and not just the whole damn screen. You can use it during videos, even. the video will play in the background while it shows you the screen at it was when you hit the button so you can take your time to crop it the way you want it. ---- It's also good for resizing large pictures that you've saved to your computer. I just view it in windows photo viewer, and adjust the window or use the zoom controls to make it the size I want (make it fit as an avatar), then screencap it. ---- it also gives you the option to upload it so you can use the url to put it in img tags and share with people. NO MORE HAVING TO BOOKMARK LINKS AND HAVING TO SEARCH THROUGH THE LIST TO FIND THE RIGHT ONE. Plus, you can only put up so much data as attachments here, urls and stuff means you don't need 'em. link to lightshot so you can dl it if you want (free is free): http://prnt.sc/ when on a good avy hunt, I like to open links and pictures in new tabs so that I end up with a lot of tabs open following different picture paths. But if you want a shortcut for some potential avies, I have two links for you: A link to my Pinterest boards: https://www.pinterest.com/mael1043/ A link to the the suggest an avatar thread, where you can use avatars suggested for others that they didn't take/aren't using or avatars put up as "for anyone": http://www.pokemonreborn.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11191 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flux Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Alternatively, you can use anything from here: http://atokniiro.tumblr.com/ or here: http://atokniiro.tumblr.com/treehouse I saw this post, clicked the bottom link, and ended up reading all of Treehouse. Then I got sad when I realized that the last update was in April... It was good stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
