New avatar

[Traveler]

Ok people, here's my first avatar. It's a painting by Caspar David Friedrich, one of the most talented German artists of the Romantic Era. It's name is "Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog".

What do you think about it?

Traveler: Nice avatar, when I saw it I knew I had to have one myselff! It's called "The Distant Princess", by French painter George-Jules Victor Clairin (1843-1919).

 

[Demonspell]

How do you insert an avatar into your profile? I have one I borrowed from an unofficial Iced Earth BB (Damien's snake-covered portrait from The Omen) for use here...

 

[Duvall]

It's not in "profile"..it's under "options" I think.. at the bottom.

Warsofwinter, why don't you make that picture your avatar? It'd save a ton of room on the forum, at the very least

and.. hibernal dreams I think.. and godisanathiest.. your avatars are very similar at first glance! don't you think?

not a bad thing. just an observatory commentation

 

[Traveler]

Hey Demiath, where can I find a bigger version of "The Distant Princess" ?

 

[Demonspell]

Well I found out how to add it, but the image is too large...know how I could get it to the required size and not get the gif file to open in a browser window

 

[Demiath]

Traveler: Go to the excellent Artmagick website at http://www.artmagick.com/

Demonspell: You'll have to use a program such as PaintShopPro or CorelDraw to change the size to 70x70 pixels.

 

[Demonspell]

I'm screwed then, I don't have any graphic design programs...I'll have to ask Abyss Lord or some kind soul here to produce a scaled down version for me...

 

[Demiath]

Demonspell: No, you're not screwed! PaintShopPro, for example, can be downloaded for free from www.paintshoppro.com. But the file is a bit large, if I remember correctly, so if you just want to edit this one picture, I suggest you go to www.tucows.com; they've got almost everything, including free graphic design programs.

Hey Demonspell - don't worry about downloading anything, I edited the image down for you. The link is below, you can get it from there.

Hehe, yeah I'd noticed that. But i have like 8 other discarded covers I could use, but like that 1 the best

 

[Demonspell]

Infinite thanks, Hellspawn...you fucking rule.

 

[Demiath]

It's funny...even though I spent ten long minutes making my own avatar, when Demonspell asked for help, I didn't do the most logical thing; edit the image down myself. The thought just didn't cross my mind...I think I've been watching too many stupid TV shows lately, soon I won't even remember how to breathe...
