Nice one!

Oh hey Mayfurr! Thanks! Long time no hear. I hope you're doing okay.

Very cute!

Awww... I wasn't meanin' it to be "Cute." I wanted an image that stood out on Facebook is all. Okay... It is Kinda cute.

I like this a lot!

Oh Thanks Seth! That is a worthy compliment indeed.

Really cool Roy ! I like it a lot. =^.^=

I'm pleased that you do Raynard_Foxglove. The image might need a little more tweaking, but it gets the point across.

Nice! Though you may want to use a more advanced scaling-down method. Nearest-neighbor does it no favors.

Can you give me a hint on that? My first attempt at scaling it down 100 X 100 Pixels made the image way to jiggety-jaggety. I used my original of 1985 X 1985 Pixels for the image here.

What tools are you using to resize it?

The "Crop" feature on Windows 10 in Paint 3-D. It's about the same as Photoshop 7, but I can set the size of the canvas by "Eyeball."

It doesn't appear that the resizing options on paint3d are very strong. For a free option, Gimp'll do the trick quite well.

Here's a 96x100 .gif that seems to look much better when uploaded as an avatar, processed in Photoshop using Bicubic (sharper) settings: https://www.dropbox.com/s/42bpsw72s.....amfox.gif?dl=0

Ah! Thanks for the help there. I have a couple friends who want to get me on Gimp too. In fact I'm hoping when I can afford it, I'd like to get that guide book of theirs.

Do not GIMP. GIMP has terrible design and is ass backward about the simplest thing.
Krita from Krita.org is far easier to use and will do everything you need.

Simply download Krita and GIMP and try to use both - you'll see what I mean.

Okay... I've been told about Kitra before. I believe I'd try that one over the other if it's free, or considerably low in cost. Oh, if I only had a bigger system to try all these art programs on.

They're both free. I keep forgetting about Krita, it's a much better piece of software for your work, as Cupro says.

I really hate Gimp for photo work, but it does resizing okay, at least. :) Krita's better all-round. And even has a Furry mascot.

There's a test.
You google the name of the art program and look at the image results. Photoshop has loads of artwork and photos. Krita has loads of artwork and photos. Artrage and Clip studio... loads of artwork.
GIMP... Pictures of GIMP.
Because GIMP is only useful for taking screenshots of itself and making copies of the super simple logo to prove that it's actually possible to do so.

Does this train stop at Ho-Ho-Kus?

Wait a minute... Did I hear you say "Ho-Ho-Kus?"

Yes. I didn't say "Nutley," ya crazy.

Mention my name in Ho Ho Kus,. It's the greatest little town in the world. I know all the big wigs in their City Hall. They even have my picture hanging on the Post Office Wall!

Train leaving on Track Five, for Anaheim, Azusa, and Cuc.....

...Comonga! Doesn't anybody want to get on board the train leaving for Anaheim, Azusa and Cucamonga? C'mon! The Engineer gets lonely! ...He'll let you ride in the cab.

Now leaving on Track 9 with connections to Baltic, Mystic, Scantic, Yantic, Niantic, Willimantic and North Grosvenor Dale!

*drums out "Shave And A Haircut, Two Bits"*

Oh good! We'll be stopping in Mystic.

I like, I need to do one for my badger as well!

Hee! Just keep the image at 100 X 100 Pixels. I had to learn how to do it the difficult way.

I like it!

Aww... Thanks.

Nice new icon!
Maybe you should try out the scaled down one that Warphammer made for you up above for using here on FA. It looks nice and sharp.

BTW.....Bondage?

Hanh? "Bondage?" I'm more into "Bondo" as in body and fender work. What brought that on?

Oh yeah. Already found and applied. Thanks.

Hmmmm? Here's what it still says in your submission info.

Note the Theme! I never knew you were kinky like that.

Ah. That explains some of those extra excited responses. I figured out what might have happened was that as the page was loading all the ads, it caused the window to pop up just as I hit the "Miscellaneous" button. It does that sometimes.

Yep, that's why I always check every little thing as soon as my picture posts. At least half the time there's something that I need to correct or fix the spelling on.

I see you got the icon nice and clear now. It looks great!

I really like that one!

Yeah. It definitely says a little more about me... Or at least my dreams.

We all have to dream... May as well dream huge!

It would be fun to have something like this done for my fursona. But what aspect of her?

This is really neat! Nice work, Roy.

At least it catches the eyes better than the older one did.

This is true. It's a good fit for you, I feel. :)

It definitely suits your style - a mix between steam train engineer and rally car racer, hmm...steam train rally racer

There's an idea. I'll bet laying out the tracks would be murder though.

Well done Roy. The icon beautifully suits the purpose well. *Gives you some coal to shove into the engine to go full steam ahead*. ^.^

Hee! Well, I prefer oil burners, but yeah. It's pretty much the same thing.

Joyously, authentically retro. Suits you well.

Ha! "Authentically Retro" That suits me to a "T".

Pardon me Roy, is that the Cha -- naah, we won't go there...

This works in the large size, but it gets all pixelated (pixilated?) at small sizes. I can use IrfanView's Resize/Resample to save a better copy for Fatesbork. The problem I see is, the text gets kind of rumpled up on reduction. You might want to enlarge the STEAMFOX lettering so it shows up in the 100 x 100 Fur Affinity avatar window

IrfanView: https://www.irfanview.com/ Free, free, free. Use the 32-bit version unless you have a compelling reason to use the 64-bit. I use both on the same machine, but I edit some humongous files, sometimes.

My favorite graphics manipulation programs are:
PhotoScape: http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/index.php
Paint.NET: https://www.getpaint.net/

OH! Thanks for the links. I think I'll "Play" with the Paint NET to see if I can get it to work. In the Paint 3-D program, I printed the Steamfox title at 149, the largest point size they had, and it was still kind of dinky. I found switching the image from jpg format to png kinda helped, but the image still remained crumply. The next time I might try a bolder graphic with no lettering.

I just learned something interesting. I'm trying to set up a new account for my lady friend as a sort of birthday present (poor old thing, she turns 33 next month). The original image is a 1024 x 1024 JPEG. Fine, fine, but Fur Affinity says:

File Requirements

Accepted File Formats - GIF. While JPG and PNG can be uploaded they will be converted to GIF format, with possible loss of quality.
Max File Size - 55 KB
Max Dimensions - 100x100 pixels

Try having Paint.NET save the image at 100 x 100 -- as a GIF. Worth a shot.

Looks pretty good at big size; lots of folks have given you good advice already to get it good at the small size!

Dominus tecum

Heh... I STILL don't know what I'm doing, except learning.

All aboard!!

Or, "Spin 'er UP!"

Cool icon!!!

Thanks Cap'n. I'm glad you like it.

Nice, it is nice having one that is a closer fit to who we feel we are.
My dates back to '86 and I don't feel a need to change yet.

I kinda like the way you rendered the hat too. It gets the point across.

Say, do you have any Good N' Plenty?

Charley Says, "Love my Good N' Plenty!" Charley says, "Really rings my bell!" (D ng!) Charley says, "Love my Good N' Plenty, don't know any other candy that I love so well.
