what is a avatar's default size ? i heard 50x50, 100x100, 80x80... i guess it varies from site to site, but i think there is a size more common. anyone ?
It does vary from site to site, but usually not by much. For sites trying to conserve bandwidth, they tend to be smaller, though I have been to few sites with 50x50 maximums (the most notable one being DeviantArt, but I couldn't blame them since the whole point of the site is just a mega bandwidth leecher). Most sites have something ranging from 80x80 to 125x250.. Because avatars aren't always square, after all. In fact, especially on RPG sites when avatars tend to be character portraits, rectangular avatar dimensions are better.
About the avatars.. Does anyone use YahooAvatars? No? Ok. lol. Well, it works with the same theory as all those things.. You log in, choose your gender, skin colour, one of 5 (last time I went) face prototypes, then you can modify things like hair colour, clothing and add all sorts of funny stuff like backgrounds and accessories like pet ravens and ski's. http://avatars.yahoo.com
Amen, brotha! For making avitars as well as signatures, Photoshop is god! And for the comment about it being to complicated? It is NOT too complicated! The basic skills which are required to make an avitar can be learned from tutorials included with the software in about an hour! Just defending my baby. Anyway, pretty cool link.
Thanks for the link. I like those make-your-own-avatar sites. Here's my favorite: Illustmaker.Abi-Station.com. It has a few more options. This is the one I made with it:
