No, not that kind.

So where is your avatar from? Care to share what avatars you use, or discuss avatars in general?

So where is your user picture from? Care to share what pics you use on other forums? (I know we used to have a thread about this, but it seems it was lost in The Great Crash.)

My current avatar, and all my previous avatars, are from Gunnerkrigg Court. So it's probably safe to assume that all my future avatars will be from there as well.

It's like an open-source Photoshop that's less resource intensive

I use Photofiltre myself...Not that it changes much.

Honestly, I've never had a single issue with my files size. All of my avatars are 100x100 Jpegs 90% compression, if that helps.

I use this site for resizing stuff.

It usually works, but it doesn't compress some stuff enough, it seems.

You're better off with an actual computer program(I.E. Paint). Those things probably aren't programmed as well.

I see.

I don't have Microsoft Paint, but I have LibreOffice.

Will that work?

I haven't heard of that. :P If you want something simpler than GIMP, though, I suggest Paint.NET (what MS Paint should be).

Sharing avatars? How do you do that? PM things to people? I mean, I think there's something I don't really understand.

I *read* TV Tropes, but I rarely ever actually do anything on here and, although I registered for the forums ages ago, I'm new at being an active member, so I'm sure there are things I'm not familiar with.

In which I attempt to be a writer.

You have to go to your gallery first.

[up][up] If you click the button above your own post, second from the left (directly to the right of the PM button), it links you to your avatar gallery. You can share avatars you have there with other tropers.

There is also an option in your user profile that toggles whether or not you can receive avatars from other people (so you don't have to be spammed with people sending you avatars you don't want).

I crop out a square using Paint (not even the .NET version, just old and simple) and then save them through Ifran View (which I use for all my picture viewing). I either set them as maximum quality JPG or maximum compression PNG, depending on the picture (rule of thumb is that pictures with lots of gradients are good for JPG while flat colours are good for PNG - for instance, Homestuck avatars get compressed marvellously by PNG, but turn smudged all over and still way too big as JPG, meanwhile photos are compressed fine without loss in looks by JPG while PNG leaves them at huge size)

What exactly have you been trying to avatarise, Bacon?

Finally managed to "organize" my avatars. Kinda.

And that still should move a lot when I add the avatars stored here.

It's amazing what one can do when properly bored.

Possibly the best G La DOS fanart I have ever seen. The crop doesn't do it justice, so here's the fullsize on the artist's Tumblr.

I don't quite know why but I realize I really enjoy the art style of the sprites in the Neo Geo Pocket SNK fighters.
