Captain Bolivar 0 Posted August 7, 2003 I just spent 2 hours making an avatar with an image of myself in it. I used the picture of Bashir in the lift on DS9 found within the base archive of avatars. I had to use paint for the whole thing. Cutting out a picture of my face and putting it on the Bashir pic was TOUGH. I had to touch up the background and everything. The neck is completely drawn. On top of that I had to change the blue on the uniform to red and add 2 rank pips. AHHH! Then I realized I hated the overall color of the background. I guess I could go erase the background but I've had enough of Windows Paint for one night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The cutting of faces and heads is much easier then in paint. I actually use a combination of Photoshop and Paint. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takara_Soong 4 Posted August 7, 2003 If you don't have access to a program like Photoshop and would like to have your picture re-done feel free to email me a picture of yourself and the body that you want it on and I'd be happy to take a stab at it for you.
