A few new avatars

[Cassini90125]

I don't know why, but I enjoy making avatars. Something about the entire process; selecting an image, trimming it, shrinking it, trimming it a little further, making a few minor alterations... it's oddly relaxing. I've made well over two hundred at this point, mostly of non-Foster's images. I've made a few Foster's avatars, too, and I thought I'd pass them along for your inspection and critique:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16avs.jpg

The last seven are from early in Good Wilt Hunting; the rest are from other episodes. Please note that this is one image, not sixteen separate images, so if you want to use them you'll have to cut them apart yourself. Mind you, I don't really expect them to get used; I just made them for fun, and I thought I'd share the results. :)

[antgirl1]

But no set is complete without FRANKIE! XDDD

[Cassini90125]

Oh, I didn't forget Frankie, I simply decided to post them elsewhere. They'll be up soon. :frankiesmile:

[Bloo2daMacs]

Wow! Those are awesome! Seriously, the positioning of the icons were great and all, the onlyproblems I see is a bit of blur on some of them, likely from resizing screenshots. If I wasn't so addicted to my current icon, (It's actually how I basically picture myslef on the forum now) I would trim one for myself. The ones of Red and Bendy, but I do like that last one with Mac and Bloo. XD

Considering the amazing quality of these, I'd like to see the Frankie ones as well. Hope you get them up some time soon!

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Those are actually pretty damn nice. I think every single avatar with Bloo in it is very, very kick ass. I think you really captured a lot of the minor and more interesting character pictures with these avatars.

Especially Bendy, Louise, and I REALLY like that one with Terrance sneaking up behind Mac and Bloo.

Buuuuuuut.....

I think I'm gonna wait for those Frankie ones of yours :-* for obvious reasons.

[Invader Bloo]

Yeah what's up with no Frankie? With you they should be some ofthe first!

[Cassini90125]

Oh, very well:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16FFavs.jpg

Again, just me having some fun and passing along the results, not trying to strike gold or anything. As with the last batch, several of these came from early in Good Wilt Hunting. I was originally going to post these in the Appreciation thread but I opted to post something else there. :frankiesmile:

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Yeah, now were talking. I was actually going to snooping around some live journal websites to see if I could find some cute Frankie avatars, but this is much better then I expected. This saves me a long ass trip bumping around the web looking for avatars in god knows how many sites. Nice! ;)

I'd like to use one (probably soon) for my avatar if that's cool with you Cass. I was hoping to maybe use the 5th avatar, first one on the second row? I really like that one, that and the one right below sit sitting cross legged is nice too. I actually still saved that valentine picture you made of 8th pic with Frankie sitting and reading a book.

So yeah, could I possibly use that 5th avatar in the future, or if not that one another?

[Cassini90125]

Yeah, help yourself. That pretty much goes for everyone else, too. Glad you like them. :frankiesmile:

[Nyo]

Dude, the Coco one in the first batch is AWESOME.

[Cassini90125]

Thanks. It's surprisingly hard to find decent images of Coco to work with. In that one she's waiting for Douglas and Adam to shut up. ;)

[Crash-N-Cortex]

Nice avatars you got there, Cass. Come to think of it, I might consider changing my avatar.

[Cassini90125]

Sixteen more:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16avs02.jpg

As with the first set, most of these came from Good Wilt Hunting.

[Sparky]

I love the first one! It should say GLEE! or something. :mfoster:

Two of the others look like a couple of mine:

http://www.fosters-home.com/terrence/images/crap.jpg http://www.fosters-home.com/terrence/images/wedgie.jpg

;D

[Cassini90125]

Heh, maybe I should review what's already available before I start another set. 8D

[Sparky]

To be honest, I think that's really only important if they're either animated or at least have text on them...If they're just cropped images with no "effects" or anything, its not a big deal, I don't think.

[Cassini90125]

Animated? Me? Er, I don't think we'll have to worry about that for awhile. 8D

Another sixteen, all from the movie again, hopefully without duplicates:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16avs03.jpg

These are the last I'm making from Good Wilt Hunting. I do plan on making more over time but they'll be from other episodes.

[Ub3rD4n]

Man, how do you seperate these? I gotta have the D&A avatar!

[Cassini90125]

Both D&A avatars are in your private message box as separate images. :)

Please don't let them bother any Frankie avatars you may have. 8D

[Ub3rD4n]

Whoohoo! Thank you so very much!:frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

Yet another set of 16:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16_CAGG.jpg

These are all from Cheese A Go-Go. I wasn't too thrilled with the results, but I do what I can. I have a few more from the episode, mostly of Frankie looking like hell, which I may post at a later date. :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

Hahaha, I love the one of Ed! Poor Ed... LOL! I don't recognize the one of Frankie in the dark. Is that when she's looking for Bloo in the theater? Around the time we see the cameo of Dylan?

[Pawbah]

Those are great. I love the one of Mac on the Popcorn bucket. It makes me happy. :)

[BluebottleFlyer]

Great job with these avatars, man. Can't say much more than that.;)

[xxxClaire]

Great job! :D I love the one of Wilt! 8D

[Cassini90125]

I don't recognize the one of Frankie in the dark. Is that when she's looking for Bloo in the theater? Around the time we see the cameo of Dylan?

Exactly. ;)

This set is from The Buck Swaps Here:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/TBSH.jpg

Mostly, anyway; the last two are from Cheese A Go-Go. I particularly like the one of Bloo with dollar signs in his eyes. 8-)

[Lynnie]

Exactly. ;)

Thanks, it looked like the theater, but I didn't remember her facial expression being like that. She must have been in the middle of saying something.

Another great set here, Cass! Yeah, I like the one of Bloo with the $$. I also like the one of Mac with the glow around him. And the one of Frankie with Ed, that's a nice smile. "Yes! I! Do!" Lol, I like that line! :frankiesmile:

[Pawbah]

Mac with the $99.99 sign is great. I love his face.

[WiltsAKGirl17]

Does anyone know if there are any good Wilt avatars floating around out there? I haven't seen anything that really suits my personality. Some help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

[Dragonrider1227]

Making avatars is LOADS of fun. I totally understand. BTW, I like those.

[Cassini90125]

Well, having cranked out over a hundred non-Foster's avatars in another thread (http://www.fosters-home.com/forum/showthread.php?t=2740), I thought I really ought to make a few based on our favorite cartoon. This is a Foster's forum, after all. Anyway, here's the newest set:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16avs4.jpg

A number of these were made from various works of fanart instead of episode screencaps. The four in the top row were made from a screencap of the old "Adopt-A-Friend" game from a few years ago. Most of the rest I couldn't remember who made the original pics if my life depended on it, although two of the Wilt avs came from pics by Jagg17, and the second pic of Red is Sparky's ottoman. The pastel background in the second Wilt pic is by me. Worked rather well, I think. ;D

Yes, I know there are no new Frankie avatars in this set. She gets the next set all to herself and they, too, are mostly derived from fanart. They're up next. :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

These are all terrific, Cass. I especially like the fan art ones. I remember the one of Bloo wearing the hat in the snow, such an awesome picture. I think it was submitted before I joined so I don't remember who did it either. If the creator of that is reading this, awesome job! :bloosmirk: I do however recognize CG's art. I like her style. :smed: But I love them all.

[Carlaz]

Very nice work! They are so clear & vibrant looking. :frankiesmile:

May I ask which program you used to edit them?

Are we allowed to use them? Thanks!

[Cassini90125]

(Smacks self in head) You know, considering how much of her art I've downloaded, you think I'd recognize it myself. Might help if I'd renamed the file something other than "653378". Yes, that is definitely CG's work, and if she's reading this, another tip of the hat for a job well done. :smed:

Very nice work! They are so clear & vibrant looking. :frankiesmile:

Sure, help yourself. Bear in mind though that they're all one image and will need to be separated, although if anyone requests it I'll happily do it for them. All images were either downloaded directly or in some cases captured with ScreenHunter, and all were edited with Paint.

The Frankie avatars I mentioned will be up later today. :frankiesmile:

[Cassini90125]

Thanks to those who commented. :)

And now, as promised, Frankie fanart avatars:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/16FFavs2.jpg

Except for the one of my teen Frankie Sim, all these were made from some of the best pics on DeviantArt. I tip my hat to the original artists for making such fine creations; may the rest of the site follow your lead. Unfortunately I had to leave out some very good pics for technical reasons, like not shrinking well or couldn't be trimmed. Some of these will be getting a line or two of text and the glitter treatment, same as my own avatar. :frankiesmile:

When it's done right, there's no fanart quite like Frankie Foster fanart. :-*

[frankie_fan]

When it's done right, there's no fanart quite like Frankie Foster fanart. :-*

No doubt about that! Being a member of deviantART, there's a couple I've already recognised! :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

Yay, Frankie's lovely. In all of them. :frankiesmile:

I recognize the third one. Can't remember who drew her, but I liked her style, too. I also really like the one of her kneeling/sitting on the floor (and you put a pastel background on), it's sweet. I also really like the second to the last one and the last one. Excellent examples. You're going to animate some of them? Awesome, I can't wait to see! :D

[Mr. Marshmallow]

Oh my, oh my, oh MY! Those are beyond kick ass, absolutely gorgeous and what a smoking little picture source too :-* but seriously, that is a great bunch of avatars. The best looking Frankie ones yet. I particularly like the top 2 rows of avatars best. I always new Deviantart had some really good Frankie pics.

I used some of them in my "Girls of my dreams" music video on my Youtube account. I'd love to use the first one, would that be cool with you Cass? These are too good not to show off after all.

[Cassini90125]

Glad you liked them. As always, help yourself. The first one, incidentally, is by Jagg17, the same person who made the Frankie pic in my avatar and has done other fine pics of Frankie and various other subjects. :frankiesmile:

I also really like the one of her kneeling/sitting on the floor (and you put a pastel background on), it's sweet.

That one is by TeenTitans-Starfire, created in November of 2005. Yeah, she looks very sweet in that picture, hence the text in the glitterfied version:

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/Sweetness02-1.gif

I love doing this, and for so many reasons. :-*

[frankie_fan]

http://i47.photobucket.com/albums/f184/Cassini90125/Sweetness02-1.gif

I love doing this, and for so many reasons. :-*

Too cute! That's just awesome! :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

Just too lovely. Awwww, just look at her! Very nice. :-*

Here's some I made from screen caps of flash.

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/Buddies.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/BestBuddies.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/FrankieB.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/MadameF.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/Wilt.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/Ed.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/CocoB.jpg

Most of them are a tad taller than they are wide because I couldn't bring myself to crop any more off. But they should still work.

[Cassini90125]

Nicely done! Alas, the taller ones won't work; avatar size on the Forum is limited to 100x100 pixels. Sorry.

I know what you mean about not wanting to crop them, though. On numerous occasions what I've done is crop them less in the other dimension so that both height and width are the same, then shrink the entire image. Doesn't always work; some pics just don't shrink well. But it's always worth trying. :)

I think #1 and #2 came out the best, but you already know that my favorite is #3. :frankiesmile:

Stars, I am so predictable. 8D

[Lynnie]

Oops, you're right. I was thinking it was something like 100x120 or something. I must be thinking of someplace else. :-[

I resized them and edited my last post, so they should work now. They don't look any different on my screen, but it must be my cookies at work. They should be sized @ 100 max now.

[Cassini90125]

Eduardo is still showing as 113p tall; the others are 100 or less in both dimensions. Mac and Bloo #2 is 100x100 even. :) :bloogrin:

Avatar size limits vary from site to site. On DeviantArt it's limited to 50x50; the largest I know of was on a Sims site that folded awhile back, where the limit was 128x128.

I'm getting the urge to make more now, of course. 8D

[Medikor]

Those are all some very nice Foster's avatars, Cass. You always manage to find pics that lend themselves well to the avi treatment.:D

[Lynnie]

Alrighty then, here are some screen caps I made from the six minute preview of "Bloo Tube", all made into avatars.

And this time they should all be 100x100 or smaller. ;)

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/AWiltHat.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/AMacPeeking.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/AMacTowel.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/AGame.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/AFrankieStunned.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/AEduardo.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/ABlooregardBlock.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/ABlooHat.jpg

Oh, and then there's this one I "made" last year from one of Craig's drawings of Mac and Bloo prototypes way back in the beginning of the beginning. Colored in by yours truly.
http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/A183e.jpg

[Cassini90125]

Excellent work! Always room for more avatars. I'll let you try to figure out which one is my fave. :frankiesmile:

[Lynnie]

Glad you like them! :frankiesmile: She looked annoyed during most of the scene except that one shot where she's more "stunned", so I chose that short scene to take the shot of her. It's a cute look for her, I like it too.

I just noticed I didn't get one of just Coco! Poor Coco, she's getting forgotten a lot lately, isn't she? Sorry Coco! :-[

[BluebottleFlyer]

Great work with those avatars, Lynnie. Not quite sure what a "pity hat" is, but Bloo wearing one of them makes for a good chuckle.

And it's good to see absolute proof that Mac will be in the episode.:)

[Lynnie]

Here's some more, just for fun. All taken from Hot Topic. And as we know, there's few characters to chose from, but I found some great shots from t-shirts and stickers that I thought would make great avatars. At least I'm boycotting the yellow "king" of HT. :P

http://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/t-shirt2.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/t-shirt.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/sticker2.jpghttp://i198.photobucket.com/albums/aa1/Lynnie_Lyn/sticker.jpg

I just love that sticker of Ed and Paco. It's so cute. :smed:

[Cassini90125]

Good job! Nice to see that Hot Topic isn't completely useless. ;)

[Lynnie]

Here's the characters HT leaves out. *Coco winking goes here* All captured from CN.com, mostly from the games. What can I say, I had time on my hands today and was kind of bored so I played a bunch of the games and captured some more shots. =)

[L.G.]

http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/kah4068/SetF1.png

My 1st set of Avatars. Images from CN's Video Site with the episode "The Big Picture."

[Cassini90125]

Nice! I particularly like #2; there aren't enough Eduardo avatars. Good job! :smed:

[Lynnie]

Hehe, those are great LG! I especially like the one of Bloo. We just don't see him like that too often. ...Poor Blooregard. 8D I also like the one of Ed too, how he's looking up. Another unusual shot of him too.

[L.G.]

http://i535.photobucket.com/albums/ee357/kah4068/SetF2.png

Bunch of new Foster's Avatars

1-11 are from “Bus the Two of Us”
12 is from “Neighbor Pains”
13-15 are from “Squeeze the Day”
16 and 17 are from "Bloo's the Boss"
18 and 19 are actually from a youtube poop called “Stegmutt Puts Out Everybody”

[Cassini90125]

They look clearer than a lot, with sharper colors and well-defined edges. Nice work! :)

[Lynnie]

The look on Wilt's face on the first one is awesome. 8D And I can't pass up the one of Bloo with the sign in the face, and Pierre Seshwan (or however that name is spelled). And ditto on what Cass said, they look very sharp and colorful, good job! :bloosmirk:

[L.G.]

Thanks guys. These latest images were saved on MS Paint as PNG images as opposed to JPEG's: the PNG's usually come out clearer than JPEG's for reasons I don't understand :blooconf: 8D

[Cassini90125]

I believe it has to do with the format's compression technique, which I won't pretend to know anything about. I find that bitmaps are easiest to fiddle with in Paint so I use them almost exclusively, even though the filesize is large compared to other formats.

[jekylljuice]

Nice work, L.G.. I give particular props to that one of Mac behind the wheel. :)
