Heh, I like the one with Kiddy.

Posted: **February 24th, 2008, 9:20 pm**

Hah, I actually set that as my avatar a minute or so before I read that! I'm diggin' the Blizzard Bear, though, so I think I'll change it to that.

I'm working on a lot of other characters.

Edit:

I like how Bleak turned out; I'm going to use him instead!

Posted: **February 25th, 2008, 12:20 am**

So many new avatars! Can't wait to see them with the effects.

Posted: **February 25th, 2008, 4:23 am**

Check it out:

A Kremling target from DKC3! I'm going to use it as my avatar.

EDIT: What the heck? When I try to select it as my avatar, it says "file size must be between 0 and 6 Kb." Help?

Paint sucks. In GIMP, you can do things like reduce the palette to 256 colors and make it a lot smaller.

Posted: **February 26th, 2008, 7:10 am**

Yeah, GIMP is way better. But Paint is better than nothing, right?

Posted: **February 26th, 2008, 7:45 am**

That's it, just think positive.

Posted: **February 26th, 2008, 10:28 am**

It's like I always say:
Thinking positive is better than... um...stinking negative?
I gotta stop trying to write them Hallmark cards.

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 8:20 am**

This one had to be done

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 8:27 am**

Is that DK riding DK? Very awesome indeed.

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 8:36 am**

Glitch avatars are a good idea.

But the size seems to be a little off...

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 8:50 am**

Yeah, I know. I didn't use the tutorial Qyzbud made as that frame was a little bit too small. So I just did my own random size. I guess I can improve it a bit.

I could keep doing some glitch avatars and post here. Would be fun

.

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 8:51 am**

Yeah, I just noticed that thing was way too tall.

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 8:54 am**

Not too tall, just different dimensions. It needs to be wider.

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 9:00 am**

Are you sure? It looks way too many pixels high to me.

Posted: **February 28th, 2008, 9:01 am**

It needs to be shorter and wider, thats what I meant

Posted: **February 29th, 2008, 8:06 am**

Yeah, me too.

Posted: **March 13th, 2008, 11:46 am**

Everyone seems to like Qyz's new avatar so much, I noticed that mine looks like I overdid it too much and I can't see why. So I turned it back to the one I originally had.

Posted: **March 13th, 2008, 12:07 pm**

I like it.

Posted: **March 13th, 2008, 12:17 pm**

I like Qyz's avatar alot aswell.

Posted: **March 13th, 2008, 12:21 pm**

Whoever created Nick's avatar is a genius!

lol

Posted: **March 13th, 2008, 12:39 pm**

lol Agreed

I wanted one of Baron K. Roolstein.

I might get around to making one....eventually.

Posted: **March 14th, 2008, 8:26 am**

The Kaptain is better than the Baron.

Spoiler!

And The Colonel beats everyone!

Posted: **March 14th, 2008, 11:49 am**

I'm keeping this one forever!

Posted: **March 14th, 2008, 11:54 am**

Whoah. That's kinda big.

Posted: **March 14th, 2008, 12:12 pm**

to big?

Posted: **March 14th, 2008, 12:14 pm**

No, it's fine. I may change mine sooner or later.

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 3:46 am**

It's bigger than average, and certainly not designed to regulations... but I like it.

I may request a change down the track, but it's all good for now.

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 7:42 am**

I'm really sorry.

I thought it had to be a certain size to upload. My bad. I'll see about resizing tonight.

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 1:37 pm**

does this look better guys?

resized!

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 2:25 pm**

I gotta new one too.

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 2:43 pm**

That's what I have to say to you Kong-Fu!

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 2:47 pm**

Oh, yeah.

Mine came out big, too. but I'll lower as soon as I get access to a computer.

Posted: **March 15th, 2008, 8:13 pm**

Nice avatars chosen, nickp17 and Kong-Fu.
If nick's avatar would be an animated one, it can't get any better :mrgreen:

Posted: **March 16th, 2008, 6:53 am**

It's getting confusing to remember who's who. Everyone keeps changing there avatar.

Posted: **March 16th, 2008, 7:10 am**

I think Cammy will remain beeing my trademark, but the kongs/world behind her may change. I think that should be acceptable 8-)

JUKED!

ha, sorry. I promise i'll keep this one.

& stone, it seems pretty acceptable to me.

I guess this will be a bit of an issue while we're all still trying things out here. Once we get a decently populated gallery of 'official' avatars, I'll begin to ask for users to adopt one of them, and not to change around more than bi-annually (or something). I can allow/disallow any user (or all users) to change avatars, so if people change too much, I can put a stop to such antics.

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 10:56 am**

Sounds good. I only complained because the Avatar is the quickest way to recognise people, and it could get confusing if every continually changes.

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 11:47 am**

Joe, as a keen avatar connoisseur, do you think it would be better to have them displayed on the left (like most forums) or the right, as they are now?

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 11:58 am**

Qyzbud wrote:do you think it would be better to have them displayed on the left (like most forums) or the right

My opinion: Well, at least I think that it's good the way it is now, with the avatars on the right. It's different that most forums, so this symbolizes DKC Atlas's adventurous theme, and keeps it exciting, instead of the same-old layout every other forum uses. Besides, I'm used to looking to the right.

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 12:14 pm**

Okay, cool. Thanks Joe.

I do appreciate the feedback, and I'm glad you are fond of the current presentation.

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 12:22 pm**

Well, at least I think that's what he may have said...

Apart from some things needing to be DKC-ified, otherwise the forum looks great. As for people changing their avatars, I think you should have to stick with your avatar for at least a month before you can change it. I am probably not going to change mine anymore, I just felt that DKJB DK seemed a slight bit out-of-place here.

Posted: **March 17th, 2008, 8:03 pm**

Hrm... I'm not exactly sure on this matter. I'm used to avatars being on the left side of the forums, but having them on the right side isn't terribly bad. :/

If I had to pick one... maybe on the left, but I dunno. I'm not too picky about it to be honest.

I don't know what a corndogasaur is, but I like it the way it is. I'm used to it, and I actually now like it more than like it is on say, the DKU forums, it just makes it easier to read the posts when the Avatar/Profile and such are on the right side.

Posted: **March 18th, 2008, 1:14 pm**

I think it's easier because you read from left to right, and when avatars are on the left you have to skip over them; but with avatars on the right, you are immediately looking at the text. That's another reason I like avatars on the right - it just makes sense.

Agreed. I feel the same about this one.

Posted: **March 19th, 2008, 6:26 am**

Thank you, Simion. That's pretty much exactly what I was trying to say.

Posted: **April 30th, 2008, 7:46 am**

I am looking for some "Swirlwind" sprites from Donkey Kong Land to use as my avatar. I did a google search but couldn't find anything. I also thought it would be cool if the Swirlwind sprite was animated a bit. I'm not sure Qyz if you like that idea or not but I don't think it would be very intrusive. But static is fine.

Thanks.
