All forum icons are now 100x100 rather than the 50x50 standard found on the rest of the site.
If your icon is still 50x50, you're still using the default avatar you selected when you created your WolfSpoor profile. This setting's carried into your forum profile, but you can change it. Just click on "profile" in the menu at the top of the page, then browse your desired icon from the gallery.
For the most part, it's just the existing images doubled in size, so they may be low-res. The Vampire ankh, as well as some newer icons like Orpheus' Phantasm and the new (probably temporary) Vampire icon, take advantage of the new resolution. And some mysteeeerious new Aberrant icons. (:
If there's one you'd like that isn't in there, or one you'd like to see me redo in higher res, let me know about it in this thread. I'll accomodate you where I can, but for some of the splats I may require you to give me a place where I can get the symbol in question (I don't have a scanned).
Have fun, people. |

The astute may notice that I've updated all of the Vampire, Werewolf and Mage icons to take advantage of the higher resolution. They look much less crappy now.
I was going to do the rest, too, but my source Photoshop file was accidentally closed before any changes could be saved. So all the nice new icons I just made are no longer in the source file.
I can recover, it'll just take a while.
Oh, and I'm looking for the Syndicate and Void Engineer logos at at least 100x100, so I can finish making nice new Technocracy icons. If you have any requests for additional splat icons, let me know.
Do you want to swipe one of our icons to use as an avatar on another forum, on Livejournal, or elsewhere? Feel free! I'd appreciate an attribution, since I spent a long time making them, but that's not strictly necessary. Just don't claim you made it, and I'm happy. |

New ones for Changeling are up, with thanks to Arkane for the kith and house logos. Yes, that's House Danaan you see there. Until I get access to the official logos, I'll be using those, since they look pretty damn cool. |

You know, I think that's the first time I've ever posted HTML in a forum before. Usually I use BBCode like second nature.
Fixed.
On a related tangent, I'm in the middle of putting up a single page where people can see all the forum avatars. Formatting is shite, but it's functional. It'll take a while, because we have a LOT of freaking icons on here. |

The above webpage isn't working since I changed everything over to png, but I'll have that fixed sooner or later.
Dark Ages: Mage and Werewolf: The Wild West icons are now available. |

<huff> Arkane is such an art slut, putting out for any site that comes along, even if it is his nifty cool Changeling icons!
</huff>
Get cracking on that other stuff you owe me Art Boy! |

I owe you? Or are you talking about Arkane?
Lunar Exalted, Mage: The Sorcerer's Crusade and Kindred of the East are now available. |

I put up Victorian Age: Vampire icons and one for the Technocracy.
I've also finished up the page on which you can view all avatars at once.
http://ianw.wolf-spoor.org/avatars.php
Current tally's at about 350 avatars. With that many, there's no way you can't find something that interests you. (: |

I've added older games:
  
For Trinity (based on the "Aberrants" symbol used in Trinity: Battleground):
For Exalted (based on what I can make out inside the X on the Fair Folk cover):

I've been busy!
All these icons are available for the forums: http://ianw.wolf-spoor.org/avatars.php
I've added bloodlines for Vampire: The Masquerade (about 22 of 'em) and the five known bloodlines for Requiem. Also Belial's Brood and VII.
Werewolf fera now also includes Apis, Grondr and Kitsune. All the Bastet "tribes" from Ajaba to Swara are available. Let me know if I've screwed something up - I don't know Bastet from a hole in my head.
I'm sure there are others there that I haven't mentioned here. Take a look!
Once again, to select one for your own profile, click on the "Profile" button at the top of each forum page and then scroll to the bottom for the Avatar section. Click the Gallery button to browse and select from there. |

On the Bastet tribes:
All of 'em are right, except Rahjah (which isn't a Bastet tribe at all, but the name and glyph they have for the Weaver) and, in a sense, Ajaba. The Bastet glyph for Ajaba made sense in the Bastet breedbook, because at that point they were classified as being Bastet. As of the Players Guide to the Changing Breeds, they are their own seperate breed - and have their own glyph that more strongly resembles those of the other breeds and the glyphs the Garou use in general.
Since it's a more recent book, the glyph isn't really as present in online gatherings of the glyphs; if you need a scan of it I can do that for ya'. So the only other Changing Breed not represented in those avatar pics would be the Camazotz. Batly shifters, wheeee.
Y'know, I'll admit that I'm curious about how you go about making these things. What the procedure is, what layers you use, what the source files are. I'm a curious woman, and I'd love to make a bunch of W:tA avatars. Mmmn. Breeds, auspices. |

I would definitely appreciate a scan of the Ajaba. I had nearly forgotten the Camazotz, and will try to get that online today. I'm also trying to locate the Bunyip and Croatan tribes for use.
Here's how I make them, using Photoshop.
I take the relevant image I want to make an avatar out of and make sure that all the extraneous parts of the image are deleted. I move it onto the texture as a new layer. I place and resize it for best effect.
Then I make a copy of the texture. There are now three layers, from top to bottom: the image, the texture copy, and the texture background.
Making sure that the texture copy is selected, I control-click on the top image. I then invert the selection (Ctrl+Shift+I or Select > Inverse) and delete. Now the texture copy layer is identical to the top image, except using the texture rather than the original colour.
Then I drag the texture copy layer to my avatar file as a new layer. I apply my usual style (Layer Style > Bevel and Emboss > Inner Bevel, Smooth, Depth 100%, Size 2px). I make sure it's sized and centered appropriately (the canvas is 100x100).
Then I select the appropriate image for the "background." For your Children of Gaia avatar, fr'ex, I'd need to select the Werewolf image. I set the opacity to 30% on that, while the foreground image remains 100%.
Then I save it. (: Pretty straightforward stuff, really. |

Ahhh, cool beans. I have a feeling that reproducing your exact method would be pretty difficult even with that information, so I suppose I'll back off...especially since I use PSP, not Photoshop.
http://palominomule.lmfao.org.uk/ajaba_glyph.gif
If you want a higher resolution scan, or a raw scan, or whatever - just ask. I wasn't quite sure what kinda' size or quality or anti-aliasing you were after, so I just did this. But whatever you need, I'll get ya'. I just figured I'd do the initial editing, since all of the instances of the Ajaba glyph have text running over them, so...yeah. |

I'd be happy to show the process step-by-step with screenshots, but I have no idea how to do it in PSP, sorry.
Thanks for the Ajaba glyph. It was great. Far larger than I needed, but I like having 'em big. (:
I don't suppose you could scan the Camazotz glyph too, could you? I don't seem to have a copy of that, and can't find it online. Would you mind? (: |
