I know from what I have read that the size can only be up to 601x103 but what are the supported formats? can we use flash?

Please, don't. Really. Nothing worse than twenty instances of Flash popping up whenever a page loads.

The size limit is 600x120 isn't it? Plus I don't think you can embed flash here, (in the same way that you can't embed the youtube player) so for something animated my guess is that the best bet would be a .gif image.

You can use potatoes if you want, as long as it's not bigger than 600x120?

Three cheers for that! What we need is some good taters! Boil 'em, mash 'em, stick 'em in a stew!

ok no flash, .png will work! I guess I read wrong about the size 600x120 makes more sense anyway, not that I want one that big. I like how you did yours Robin, I want to do something like that.

Thanks for the info everyone~

Yep Grandma, and the size limit for brussel sprouts is being complained about, with a suggestion of it going up from 50x50 to 100x100

Did you photoshop your head onto the body of a Godess?

well kinda, there is a lot of photoshopping involved LOL! I always came up short in the chest area because I'm so thin.

I play a part in my own game so the look of the toon is very important otherwise I wouldn’t look like a fantasy character.

Nonsense, you didn't know Vickie was on the cover of Vogue?

I like a signature image that makes most people overlook it thinking its only a simple advert until they really pay attention to it.

Hi Phaelax, yeah it turned out nice I thought. I started with this
picture:

thats all I can show you of it though. I know a lot of you probably
have art majors but we can’t be showing start photos here with
all the kids around but I think you guys can see where I started from.

man there is so much stuff that goes into making a game...

I am so jealous of your artistic talents. I don't have enough imagination or creativity to properly visualize what I want to accomplish. Heck, my wife won't even let me pick the paint colors to go on the walls.

By the way, great work on the sig, and I like Robin's to.

Only suggestion I have is the "goddess" image appears to have a higher specular lighting than your face and the contrast between the two is slightly mismatched. I'd probably touch it up with a few photoshop filters to give your face a more drawn/painted appearance to blend in better.

Looks cool, but I agree with Phaelax, with a little filter work I'm sure you could get it spot on.

One other thing I'd suggest is to add a few strands of hair over the collar on the left. Right now she looks like she's prepared to do battle, but not prepared to get her hair wet.
