Most animated pics cause lag, which equals a dumb death due to a fancy avatar. Ask Peacy about it.
To get a good looking avatar,take a screen shot , and paste the avatar you are working on in the pic. It will show what colors look the best, and give you a great idea of what the final image will appear as. Small images can look great, even not animated. Just make the views at scale, then try to fake the colors as they would appear in the lighting conditions,i.e Light source on the left, a little above the shoulder. They still have a free photoshop you can download, very good for different color tones.Lol, if worse comes to desperation mode,look in your wyvern client for nice examples of art, in art, or wizard files.
