Avatar Dysphoria - A cry for help

[Ayla]

I need your help!   I am really struggling with my forum presentation.  My avatar feels too aggressive but it is an elf and I suspect that I am still a little wound up so it sort of fits but .... Where would you look for a great avatar?

Deep down I need to present as the wood elf, androgynous, lithe and learned.  At home in the forest and at one with creation.  

I dont know if it is possible but I think that I may be suffering from avatar dysphoria.  Help is urgently requested. This is not a laughing matter

Aisla,
I will be happy to crop and resize any picture you like, so it will fit your avatar. Even if you have a big pic, and just want one part as your avatar, I can cut it to make it just how you want.
Just email me the picture and your instructions, to: [e-mail]

I think that you are right. At my core I don't feel edgy so will look for some shots that better capture this sense of self

Thank you for your kind offer. I will have a crack with iPhoto before I give in and take advantage of you. I can see the advantage of doing it myself with your striking blue eyed leopard. I assume that I can use a photo that I have, a scanned image or indeed a screen shot and then size to suit. Suspect that it isn't this straight forward so may PM you to seek assistance when I get stuck.

Safe travels

Aisla.

if Mark can't help you, I'd be willing to try. I like to create images.

Avatars are a great feature, letting us express various aspects of our mood and personality. I've kept mine for a while now, as it was chosen by my partner when I asked her to pick something she thought represented me.

Amazingly generous and helpful.. Standby for my new avatar!

[Ayla]

What do you think? I think that this is exactly how I would like to be....not likely, but I feel like this is a very good fit with where I am in my mind. This feels really odd. It is a little like choosing your name, or does your name choose you?

Safe travels

Aisla your new avatar is great.A very stunning face with beautiful eyes and lips. Can we still be sisters? I think the Green Warrior would like the other one now if it is ok with you. I do hate being faceless.

[Ayla]

I sent it by email yesterday. Did you receive the image?

[Metamorph]

ooo, I like it!

Sorry for the delay  I thought that I had mailed it to you.  Never mind it has now been resent.  Separately I sent the same image and a similar image to Mark who said that he may be able to help you size and load them if help is needed.

Safe travels

Absolutely love your new avatar. If it was in color I would try everything in my power to convince you that it would be a very suitable xmas present for a certain wood elf!

As far as I can tell., having the pic square and under 1mb is all that is necessary. I used one well over the size they recommend, under 1mb as that's the up load limit it would seem.
Google images is a good place to search for images, there are a lot of options and of course your own search parameters.
Window paint is easy enough to resize a pic if it is over 1mb. Remember that changing the size along a side to a half of the original is like cutting it into quarters and the size can doesn't necessarily go along with the mb size.
Paint is a decent enough program when resizing, it compensates along the edges and smooths the contrasted ones out. this is useful if you are enlarging, but it works when down sizing as well, it just isn't as apparent.

Thanks for mine Ativan. The fairy...

Well its difficult finding a good avatar.
I think my currently avatar is too femenine so im probably to change it, but I like its personal made and colourfull.
when I feel lost I enjoy seaching on the net at drawing and so of something I like. Do you have a favorite serie, or a character you can relate to alot? or just a certain creature like an elf or angel? then look up for this.
