Vertical avatars

so i was thinking since we have a new forum and all could the mods possibly implement vertical avatars that most gfx's forums use instead of just the default box-sized ones? its kinda getting old and boring. Vertical avies are much more cooler to look at IMO, here's an example:

Well, at this forum we can use them. My last avatar was vertical here.

The height is currently 200. Is that not enough? I know the one you posted is 300. But in my opinion that seems like a little much.

Horizontal is where it's at.


But seriously, it's hard to find vertical pictures as opposed to horizontal or square in the first place (unless you make them yourself). I agree that vertical is a better profile, but I like seeing some backgrounds.

pssk ... that's when creativity comes in. We make them. I have in my bay 4 vertical avatars all uniquely mine.

Vertical avatars are cool but I don't have a problem with the current limit.

The size limit currently has the width and height proportions to use vertical avatars. They may be a bit small, but size isn't really what's important.

you do realize you dont HAVE to use the MAXIMUM size right? the maximum 150x200, but, your avatar could be 10x200 for all it matters, just resize that image up there to make the height 200

We already can use vertical avatars though (although small ones) o:

here are some of my old school ones if anyone wants them.

Those look pretty up to date to me
Aren't they a little too big though O:?

re sizing is vary easy to do .-.

I can't do it >.>

Contrary to common belief, I'm quite inept at graphics D:

lol i am soooo far from being the best. Also it would be allot easier if you had skype

Well, the best here is what I really meant
We need Skype in order for me to learn how to re-size..? o:

well not to re-size, but if you want all my other nifty tricks and such.

download gimp, drag and drop image into gimp

image>scale image>set height to 200>OK

file>export

DONE

I don't have GIMP though D:

Or you are just too lazy

That said, holy cow Walshy (Or should I call you Kamn now?) Those avatars are amazing.

@ Topic:
I think vertical avatars look great, but there's nothing wrong with square ones either.
