A santa hat on Lightning, some snow, and those pretty Christmas lights at the edges would be awesome. Thanks. :D

I put some lights in there somewhere too, they might be a bit hard to spot :p

If anyone could work their magic on mine it would be truly awesome. My MSPaint skills just don't cut it!

First time trying to do something seasonal with my avatar.
I think i'll try myself but i'm sure it will pale in comparison to what alot of you guys can do.

Wait, so how do yall do snow? Like, for example, a heavy blizzard ish thing going from right to left?
What program are you using? I've never thought to make snow going horizontally, but you can easily make a tile-able snow texture and have it sync to the number of frames that you want in your .gif so that it loops seamlessly.

Dissonance's avatar above has 4 layers of snow each sync'd to 20 frames, the layers behind are smaller so they have less pixels to move in order to get back to their original position, so it looks like they're moving slower.

Edit: An example. If you look at the avatar section you can see that it loops when the tiles match up. That's pretty much all it is.

If you use something like that and have the green dots match up at the beginning and end of the loop, it will look pretty good. That's just a bunch of dots duplicated 3 times and tiled.

I have CS3, so I suppose that. Thanks for the info though, I'm gonna go ahead and give it a try then. I suppose snow moving diagonally would be much hard to do?

I edited my post above with an example :) If you want some more tips or something we could take it to PMs.

I suck with gifs, so I'm switching it up.

I just started playing through persona 3 so I figured I might as well do a Persona thing :lol

If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this better I'd be grateful :lol

I would like to request a Santa hat on Milhouse's head. Or whatever you think would look good.

Appreciate the help =)

I would very much appreciate someone plopping a Santa hat on this bad boy. I'd do it myself but my laptop is out of order right now and my work computer blows.

Don't think anyone got to mine after my 1st post, could someone just put a hat and add some snow falling? Thanks :D

And on the sixth day the LORD David Bowie created man and woman in His image. And he saw that it was good. On the seventh day the LORD created videogames so that He might take the bloody day off for once.
