    Don't you recognize Laura Ingalls? :D

    Starscape..... you come up with some of the most excellent material! Did you create that one yourself? If so, was it via Photoshop?

    :o :o Thanks everyone... it took me far too long to put that together - I was trying to undo a camera zoom - and it still looks a bit too jiggly to me. :(

    I use a combination of Paint Shop Pro and Animation Shop, which come packaged together (or used to).

    Good choice! :techman:
    That falls under the "Damn, why didn't I think of that?!" category.

    The image was done by someone madly talented over at b3ta.com. Snagged that ages and ages ago though, so no idea just who.

    I was thinking of using an av of the look on Spaceman Spiff's face when he found out he'd be co-modding this forum with me.

    Or what about when he found he'd been made a Permanent Admin?

    That was my idea! My great, stinkin', why don't I have time anymore idea! *pouts*

    Seriously, would you like a less-squishy version? No worries if not - that's just one of the things that bugs me about DVD screen grabs. :techman:

    Sorry about stealing your idea Sakrysta. I loved that episode of firefly. Thanks for the cropped version of the image. Trying to make square avatars from wide-screen dvd caps without messing up the aspect ratio is really annoying. :)

    :censored: I should have thought to put that with Marion!


    They don't have to be square. They can be vertical (but no more than 140 pixels deep) or horizontal, but no more than 140 pixels wide).
