Custom Avatar?

How can I go about making my own custom avatar. What are the limits? (Frames, pixel size, etc?) What is the file format? I have Paint Shop Pro and Corel Draw? Would either of these be useful?

Thanks for any helpful comments friends. :cool:

I think you need photo shop to do them.And i think for this board it has to be 65 x 65

Avatars may be up to 100x100 in size, 25KB File Limit, .GIF, .JPG, and .PNG Formats.

Even the animated ones are only 25kb? How are they animated? So say you make your own 6 frames for the animation, can each be 25k? How do you package the animation in one file?

while on the subject of avatars i was wondering if a semi-nude woman would be over the top?

There are plenty of free GIF animators you can use to do that, and I think the maximum file size applies to the entire image file you upload.

Excellent ermitonto, thanks for nailing it for me.

Thanks to others for the feedback as well. :cool:

your current avatar is way cool man

Right on man, nice to hear friendly words.
