If drawing badly is the same as being evil, I’m pure evil.
That is all.
I’m quite active on TWiT Army. It is a community of people who love technology and are followers of Leo Laporte. On this community I use the avatar of a purple box, and my handle is “purplebox”. I’ve made several versions of my avatar for TWiT Army, and even a few movies with this avatar on the TWiT Army Death Match, where people playfully kill each others avatars (as in third-person shooter videogames).
Now it is very enjoyable to create fancy avatars, but is it always necessary? The animated avatar you’re watching right now, is very simple, though effective. And it IS animated, which is always a bonus. The size is only 1090 bytes. That may seem much in Commodore 64 days, but nowadays, this image size is miniscule.
The animated GIF is converted into a non-animated version. This happens when the 96 x 96 pixels image is converted by the TWiT Army service to a smaller image (48 x 48 pixels). Perhaps it is better that way, because too much animation would distract from the message (or mu, as it is called on TWiT Army).
Ah well, I have at least made an animated logo for this article.
That is all.
