Thanx!
Hey, no prob, you can tell me how you'd want your Avatar to look like, give a little description 'bout yourself so I can make it personal/unique...
That is, when I'm free 4 it... |

ROTFLOL! Yeah, those are the basics! 
But didn't you mean that you first make each one individually, and then make an ani. GIF with those ind. pics? (Eh, sorry, just pullin' your leg, hope it doesn't tickle ) |

Flaw...
...notice the flaw on my Avatar (look @ the post above this one); I didn't make it transparent, as it would degrade the quality a bit, so I checked the BG color in the forum and used it as a BG in my A....

Hey dEykeé, would you really make me an avatar? That would be sweet!!! If you have the xtra time and you'd be willing to just make it say MikeDaMan in like red text and 3D kindof like the one on my website http://www.freewebz.com/mikedaman34/Mikes.html but spice it up a bit. You'll know how to make it look nice...you did a good job on yours. If you dont want to make one is thier a site that has a tutorial on making animated gif's? |

Wouldn't it be easier to ask yourself that question?

Mike, I decided to take a crack at this as well. I took your little demon (FreeBSD by the looks of it) and added some 3D Scrolling text.
You can look at it here. |

http://www.ulead.com/ga/trial.htm free 15 day trial... Fully functional. Give it a try ... it is a most excellent piece of software. Works very well, and is easy to use.

I downloaded that like 10 minutes ago (when you said that's what you used) I have the trial version but when my name scrolls across the devil there is a black smudge in the background. Do you know how to remove that?
