You can't make moving .jpg images.
.gif yes but avatars in FS must be in .jpg

yeah Hcs only allows jpg on Fs and not everyone can do good enough graphics so they have to buy. and sometimes they just don't have the time... and we all have a unique style so there is no harm wearing pieces of different styles. also some people like to 'collect' graphics so one style can definitely no feed their hunger. and anyways we have something known as "support the fellow artist" :) I make something and sell it. The fsp I get from it. I use those to purchase graphics from some other artist. That way I can have graphics off my favorite styles all under my roof and the fsp keeps circulating ^_^

they are gif/ jpeg hybrids but they are considered jpegs but act as mpeg

ok, I downloaded that example and I opened it witha a image viewer, this is the message I got: Error interpreting JPEG image file (Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x47 0x49)

so... it is actually a gif image, not a jpeg :P

Whoa guy, you are talking nonsense. ):
It's not really about the tools to use. Sure, if it's that easy go ahead, use paint, do an outstanding signature, be claimed as god. But, even knowing how to use crayons & paper, or Paint, or Gimp, or Photoshop CS7X Picasso/Leonardo Limited Platinum Edition, you might fail if you don't have this.. sense of creativity, which is actually what is being sold at here. Because not everyone has it.

Graphics market will prevail.

Actually it is possible to have an animated jpg image as a slide show using Java Script.

First you pre-load all your images that you want in the animation.

The second step is to use a function that changes the source of an image. Finally, we call this function repeatedly by employing the setTimeout() method.
'Animated' Jpg'

var c = 1;

/* Preloading images */
var image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "a1.jpg";
var image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "a2.jpg";
var image3 = new Image();
image3.src = "a3.jpg";
var image4 = new Image();
image4.src = "a4.jpg";
var image5 = new Image();
image5.src = "a5.jpg";

function disp_img(w)
{
if (c == 6)
{
c = 1;
}
var img_src = "a" + c + ".jpg";
document.ani.src = img_src;
c++;
}
t = setInterval("disp_img©", 1000);

The entire script is placed inside the HTML document HEAD section.
We start by initializing a global variable c that serves as a counter and is also a part of the image name. After preloading the images (an1.jpg, an2.jpg, an3.jpg, an4.jpg and an5.jpg), we define a function disp_img() that changes the source of images named ani. The function also checks the value of variable c, assigning it a value of 1 if its value exceeds 5. The variable is also incremented each time the function is called. The function is called after every 1 second (1000 milliseconds) with the setInterval() method.

You can customize the script and create .jpg slide-shows easily.

the image as jpeg but acting as gif is basically the same concept as the fallensword signatures such as

Posted Image

Now here is the problem - you can make animated 'jpg' files by the same method, but when someone goes to save it to upload it to fallensword they would lose all the animation because the file isn't a real jpg. The alternative is making a 'slideshow' animation using jpg files but again, when you try to save it to upload it all you'll end up getting is one of the stills from the so called animation.

What you're doing for the signature is creating a page, or a script and putting it into the code for a webpage then once saved and uploaded to the site, you are changing the file extension server side to .jpg or .png or .gif the code still reads, and generates the image plus the text or the base image plus the animation but it isn't a true file of that type.

When in doubt, lean to the side of mercy.

Why would we want to make our own avatar when we can buy them from people that have more time then we do to make them for us! :shock:

(Get confused on the wording? I did.)

actually i dont care just thought i could bring some spice for avatar artists. was hoping for more comments .but if you read this and you think your that great at avatar's. i say bring it. as i dont have time to spend to make great ones my self. but if you can produce an avatar i deam worthly i will happly pay 10 or more for it. so far out of all the avatars i have ever had in the game, the one that have been made for me, i could have made my self. and better.

what do i like you may ask. dragons, evil, skulls, flames ,warriors, demons creaturers .
