My mistake, it needs to be below 80 x 80
This one is 61 x 80, less than 3k

I can try that one, but I haven't been able to use a bmp as my avatar.

And for some reason when I save it to my hard drive it is over 10000 bytes.

Red Mana Symbol
Would someone be willing to try to find me a decent red mana symbol from magic the gathering that I could use for my avatar? I haven't gotten to 500 yet, but I want to go ahead and get somethingready!! Anyway, I'd really appreciate this! Also, I have been looking for a sumbol that somehow incorporates all 5 mana symbols into one. I haven't been able to find anything so far. If anyyone knows of something like this let me know, thanks!!

Thank you very much.

I got it OK. yeah I had trouble getting the image in a gif or jpg form. The only thing I had to use was photo deluxe. But for some reason that program increases the file size dramatically making it difficult to get under 10000 bytes.

This works great. Thanks. What did you use by the way?

Welcome!
Yeah man, I use 2 different programs for gfx. Lame arse MSPaint and Paint Show Pro7. Got the latter off the net. I have also tweaked my MSPaint a bit so it'll open and work with gifs too. I use a combo of the two when doing civ stuff. One works better for certain things and vice versa. I suggest you look around for PSP somewhere on the net. 'Bout a 27MB DL. It converts all kinds of things.

I use PSP as well. You should be able to download it easily from this 'Trial' site.

does it cost money?

I wouldn't buy a program just to make avatars. I really don't have any use for such a thing. I'm not very artistic.

This is the best I can do ATM. Its not avatar size, but I'm sure someone could sort it for you.

Hey IW, instead of having that pic shaped in a line like: \*****
why not have it like:
\*
**
**

I think it will have an avatar shape this way...

Just my 0.02€ of opinion...

The layout is usually

Code:
         white
red                green
    
     black   blue
arranged in a regular pentagon.

Equivalently, for those who don't know magic,

Code:
         sun
fire             tree
    
    skull   water

Cool, thanks a lot guys, I jsut had one question, and I don't even know if this is possible or not using conventional methods, but is it possible to like take those 5 symbols and overlay them on top of each otehr? I mean like the bottom would be normal, then the next 4 would be semi transparent and would be overlayed directly on top of the other one. This would kind of incorporate them all into one. Does anyone know if this is possible or not? Thanks a lot for what you've done so far, it looks great!! Oh, where is a good place to get mana symbolds of different sizes from that Ic ould use to try otu my own? Thanks!

Either the first or the third; it'll look weird if his face is at an angle like it is in the other two.
