    I've sent a message to Jon and asked him if he could increase the max avatar size to 100kb to allow for some of the animated avatars to be ported over. Only small portraits would be possible, like this baneling I threw together, which I think looks quite nice.

    If there's demand for it, I could try and make such avatars, but only if the max size is increased.

    Tidied. If there are any other threads like this that need to have broken codes fixed, just give me a shout. I've tidied most of the threads like these, like the Picture and Video Gallery, etc, but obviously cannot find them all.

    I found what appears to be a lurker, posted at the Hungarian site along with Cydra's introductory words. It may be Cydra's avatar, but I couldn't check it since the battle.net forums were down.

    That's spectacular. Definitely looks like the Lurker, either that or the Hydralisk, but the leg in the middleground doesn't look as though it would fit the Hydralisk, but then again, his name is Cydra...

    It's great quality, but it doesn't seem to fit in with what we've seen of the Zergling and stuff, which looked as though it was filmed under very rough conditions...

    I am pretty sure that's a Hydra. If the face in general isn't enough proof: The limb to the right sways with the body just like a Hydra's scythe. A Lurker would'nt wiggle with one of its legs like that. Also, you can see the other scythe move into the frame when the Hydras' head is to the right. It got a Hydras' chest too.

    but the way it moves seems more heavily footed like a lurkers legs rather than the slide kinda thing that hydras do.

    Note how smooth it is, unlike the hydra which is full of spikes and things. Also take into account that this has really small eyes, which aren't needed underground, while the hydra has big eyes.

    Although outdated, here's Xordiah's avatar, a walking archon in frontal view.

    It seems that the avy back there is a hydra, not a lurker. Looks nothing like the unit model, though.
    Also I've got some static avatars collected in an album if anyone's interested.

    In that case it must be a much earlier model as it's complete different to the high definition avatar we saw in a recent thread.

    hey here is a Zer'atai dark templar unit portrait gif...

    i appologise about the how shaky it is..
    tis the best i can do.


    if anyone can be bothered to improve it i applaud them.
    i spent 5 hours screen shotting 165 frames then another 4 hours resizing the images and making the gif.

    :eek: Well you didn't spare the effort. I'd rather not say how long it would've taken with the proper programs.

    Good thing you bumped this, I might create the rest of the avatars to get away from all the studying occasionally. If Jon increases the size limit to a sane value, that is.

    Yeah, we wouldn't want them to look like Willy's sig, would we? :D


    Would be awesome if you did, now that the DT's and Marauder (and many more) finally are available in high quality.
