how to make avatar
i though it would be good to instruct you all how to make avatar.
i have always been, like many ohter in the worlds, intersted in gorbochovs birthmark.
as you can see it is fun to look at, and distinguish him from other politicans. it give him that something extra that all successful poltiicans need to make splash on world scene.
i open up photoshop and negativize image, so i can get clearer outline of birthmark:
then i highlight birthmark with magic wand tool and color the birthwark yellow.
then i i open up new file in photoshop and set it transparent so there be no background. then i copy birthmark over to new transparent file nd hightlight bithmark again and paint it black. then i erase ramianing pixels surrounding birthmark:
then i put cropped black colored birthmark back onto gorby's head just to make sure shape consistent:
then i go back to transparent birthmark in photoshop and i crop image to 100x100 pixels (which is good size for an avatar)
here is avatar!:
and here larger file of birthmark if you want to crop it to different size specification:
if anyone want to use this avatar they do not need my permission. enjoy!
