Character Avatars

[gourmet_freak]

I've made some avatars for anyone to use on the forum, if you use them someplace else, it might be a good idea to add © Marvelous or something.

NOTE: It has come to my attention that this may be in the wrong section. I have kept the theme to HMDS avatars (notice that I removed the only random avatar) only to keep everything on topic, but I apologize in advance if it is in the wrong section.. I suppose I assumed that because the Rune Factory one was not locked that this probably was okay too. Sorry about that.

Villagers:

Animals:


LillianDulcia decided to animate the chicken avatars:




Also, thanks to Chris Fitz for the sprites.

Tell me what you think of the avatars and what you think I could do to make them better. I have Paint Shop Pro 7 and have moderate experience with it.

You can't really read Skye's text because of the color. o.o

Other than that, I like them. ^_^

I was thinking about that too...now I know I should fix it. Thanks.

I like them sure beats my lousy one ...

Maybe a darker gray or black would be better.

There was text there? Woah.

If you're using Photoshop, you can set the stroke to hard light or some other filter thing. It'll bring out the text more, even if it's the same color.

Is that better?

[Pumpkin Queen]

Much better! You might consider doing something similiar for Kai, though. His is a bit hard to see too, although it's not as bad as Skye's.

[SakuraMota]

Much better. ^_^

Sometimes contrasting and/or obscure colors in the picture can match as well as be legible. Unless you want to keep within the color theme...

[gourmet_freak]

Does Leia have a smiliar problem? It's kinda in the middle, you can read it, but I'm not sure how well.

[SakuraMota]

What's the weird spiral-looking thing on Leia's face? o.o

Keen eye. She's slightly faded. Guess I shouldn't do that...

I can kinda see it on Kai, too.
