Yes, artifacts, the moving mechanical masterpieces. The medium, ladies and gentlemen, is the avatar, moving or still. Remember that there is now a 40kb filesize cap, so no mini-movies this week.

Holy crap bobinite, that's some good stuff. It's kinda like the Guildpact entry from a couple of weeks ago, only the stations are even smaller :P. Why are they so small btw? There seems to be a lot of background and not much station...
Avatar is right. I do have a bigger version but theres no way to optimize it and still have it look good. I wish I could of made a border as good as the Guildpact one though, but I just couldn't think of anything else.
Personally, my favorite is Jasc Animation Shop. That's what bobinite uses, as well, I think. It's a good gif compiler, but what makes it really stand out is its filesize-reduction tools and its fairly large library of effects, including various kinds of fades. It's really a very nice program.
Not to derail this thread or anything, but I've royally screwed up my Ellipse tool. It will make only perfect circles now, and I don't remember how I made it do that. I want to be able to make a normal ellipse again!!! Can anyone tell me what I did, or more importantly how to fix it? Thanks very much!
Get on the tool and then look at the bar at the top of the screen (it's like the very bottom tool bar). There should be a drop down menu of what version of the tool you want to use and you probably have it on Fixed Aspect Ratio. Change that to normal and you should be good to go.

Beautiful. Thanks Krashbot. That the little dropdown button was right next to the custom shapes button confused me; I thought the dropdown was for what custom shape I wanted.:rolleyes: Thanks again!
Yeah topher... does that make the size smaller? I just made the BG invisible :/
No, it doesn't; as long as the background is a solid color (invisible counts), the size is the same. However, there are other issues with using invisible backgrounds on gifs; because there's no partial transparency, anti-aliasing doesn't show up and it looks pixellated. Whereas if you do it the way Topher did, anti-aliasing does work and it looks nicer.
Note to everyone: Try reducing the colors to lower the filesize.
Remember, you don't need to be able to animate in order to make a good avatar. Static avatars can be among the best (note my current avatar, for instance, or DB's). However, due to the animation issues, we'll try to keep avatar-only contests to one or two a week. Avatar-and-banner contests will be more common, though.
Artifacts!

Weird. SELECT elipse, or the one that makes a solid circle?
