Is there a way to make an avatar that would look like them, and swoop with claws out like that? I love eagles so much; as Treeebeard would say, I was too "hasty" when I picked a name for myself upon registering with entmoot - I would like to have been Gwaihir. ah, well.

Can you give me any advice about this eagle avatar idea?

I have two for you but there not very clear:

I found a pic from the Rotk cartoon of eagles swooping. :shrug:

Another oprion would be to use pics of a real brown eagle swooping down.

MrBishop · 05-04-2005, 01:25 PM

Found 1 pic from the cartoon
also found pics of real brown eagles, which might be twigged to match what you're lookinf for

Lotesse · 05-04-2005, 04:03 PM

Thank you, MrBishop! Those are nice, but not exactly what I'm looking for. I wonder where I could find a still of that movie moment, where the eagles come flying in and attack that fell beast?

I have a question - I want to make my avatar a drawing by Michelangelo called Tityrus, it's a pic of an eagle attacking Tityrus; how can I size it right, get it from the website it's on (Web Gallery of Art) and use it? Can I do this?

Do you have any picture/photo editing/creating software? You could save the picture on to your computer and cut it down to size with that (note: the limit is 60 x 60 pixels). It's possible to do that in Paint (that comes with Windows), but a lot more complicated since you can't see the pixel size (and you just eyeball to crop things...not easy to get a nice square).

Or you could post the link here and one of us would be happy to oblige

Lotesse · 05-04-2005, 07:28 PM

I do have the software, but I'm still stuck... Here's the site http://www.wga.hu/index1.html
I wonder, can the pic be enlarged, centering on the eagle, then cropped, so that on the tiny avatar perhaps some detail will be discernable? If not, I'll need to keep looking around for more suitable avatar ideas.

Mercutio · 05-04-2005, 08:27 PM

How much of the eagle? Here are a few you can glance at. Let me know if that's not the section/zoomed-ness you wanted.

Lotesse · 05-04-2005, 08:47 PM

The second one looks good, but it's hard to tell what the picture is. What do you think, should Ii use it or try loooking again? BTW, thank you so much for helping me!

Mercutio · 05-05-2005, 06:59 AM

I'm going away now (short trip), so someone else in the Shoppe would you take over? Thanks a bunch! Gotta run!

Good luck Lotesse

I'll try to do a bit more work (if thats possible

) around the shop.

strider8 · 05-09-2005, 12:24 PM

I don't normally use my own work but i think i might use this one, because it swows my love for dragons and it also shows my love for tolkien's books:

strider8 · 05-15-2005, 04:58 AM

i,'ve made another avy:

The Wizard from Milan · 05-18-2005, 06:54 PM

I created a favicon.ico (even if I have not called it "favicon") for your bookmark of this website. You can find instructions on the net on how to use it (short version if you use IE: download the file and put it somewhere were you can leave it forever, right click on your bookmark, properties, change icon, brows until you find the file in the place where you put it, click it, ok all the way)

The favicon has been created by lifing the leaf image in this website (and minimally enhanced), so that this favicon and the stile of this site match.

I can't upload it because .ico is not a valid extension for uploading on this website

,
but I can send it via email if you are interested.

Twista · 05-21-2005, 02:11 PM

Just explaining my current avatar..

I made it for someone ages - but they never used it.

If you cant tell its the evenstar glowing away with the obvious tengwar scrolling underneith it.

Also - I was wondering why Mod/Admins are allowed 100 X 100 avatars and the rest of us are not?

Lotesse · 05-21-2005, 09:23 PM

Yeah, why ARE only mos/admins allowed to use 100by100 - I've made a few of my own, now that I'm getting the hang of it, but they're all too big for entmoot... how can I make them smaller?

Twista · 05-29-2005, 07:28 AM

Summer is here - despite the Edinburgh weather.

So thought it was time for a nother spell of my sun-light one.

Not Tolkien related in any fashion before people try to pick up on it..
