Artist's Comments

ONCE I GET THE CONSENT OF THE CREATORS, AND OTHER AVATAR MAKERS, I WILL SUBMIT A RECTANGULAR (NORMAL) VERSION OF THIS STAMP WITH MORE AVATARS ON IT. SO PLEASE, DO NOT CREATE A RECTANGULAR VERSION OF THIS STAMP, SINCE IT IS ALREADY BEING MADE.

It has come to my attention that there are many people who believe that avatars are not even art.
That making any kind of avatar does not take effort at all.
How would you guys feel if I go around telling that the way you do art is not art? That it takes no effort? -.-

While it IS true that there's avatars that don't take much effort (copy & paste an img, add border + text) and would only be considered as img editing. There are other avatars that do take time, they take effort, imagination, expression and ability. Making those avatars IS art. Not because they're 50x50 they're not art, people.

In this stamp I used a few avatars, it was hard to choose them. Their makers have given me their permission to use the avatars.

Creators of the avatars:
- Transformer 360 was created by the amazing =Xeno-striker
- Koi was created by the gentle =DPA-avatars
- ...IT'S THE BATMAN was created by the lovely ~BHTrin
- Sissy's icon was created by the wonderful ~sissy20021
- The snowman was created by me.
- The earth is not amused was created by the overwhelming `Mrcrapinson

While I would've liked to put 100000 avatars in that stamp, that would've been way too much. Here, besides of the artists mentioned above, are some great avatar artists (and artists in other fields too):

- *0xo , *chicledemelom , =ScienceIsHardcore , *KawaiiKittee88 , =Blackmago.

And there's a LOT more than those. If you think you know a wonderful avatar artists, please leave their username in your comment and I'll add them here under my own criteria ^^.

Made with my cute round stamp template!

How to use [subscriber]: paste the thumb code in your journal or your shoutboard.
How to use [non-subscriber]: fave the stamp and link it in your journal (copy & paste the URL).

P.S = While I DID only use avatars that were made using the PixelArt media, I do believe that other good avatars, that aren't made with pixelart, are art ^^.

I see what you did there. ಠωಠ
:iconangelishi:
Thankyouu!! ^^
The first idea was to just make them appear, with no fade, but photoshop crashed on me when I was almost finishing so I had to redo the whole thing and then I thought it looked better with fade! <3 <3 <3

no es que no sean arte. el asunto que hacer un crop en una imagen generica de google para dejarla de 50x50 es lo que no es arte.
