Um, ok, so my subject was too long for me to put in the question mark. Does anyone know a site that has good avatars that are small enough to use over here? All of the pictures I have are too big. Oh, yes, um, it would be best if the site has Hellsing ones.

just search google for "Irfanview" it allows you to resize pictures to make them small enough for an avatar.

Just go in paint select the 80X80 part of the big picture you want (like the face or something) cut it, select the rest of the painting and delete it, paste the cut out part shrink the picture size to match the cut out size, and TADA!! Your avatar is finished. (There are probably easier ways to do it... I'm just an old fashioned paint guy)

edit -- Listen to v1cious not me! We posted at the same time. Embarassed

You can also use MSPaint to resize an image, just go to the image menu ---> Sketch/Skew (Ctrl+W) and choose a percentage to resize it.

If you have MSOffice, you can use MS Photo Editor, and resize it giving it a pixel number. Click on Image on the toolbar --> resize and when the dialogue box pops up, choose from the drop down menu "pixels", checkmark "smooth" and in one of the two boxes above that type 80 and click ok.

Very good website for wallpapers and avatars.. although I had to crop my new avatar a little bit. ANN has unusually small avatars I think.

You can also use http://www.google.com . Amazingly, you can use the site to search for just about anything on the internet! Just enter in what you're looking for!
