Description
Please check out my new tutorial!
It is updated and contain much more information!
Tutorial - Your Own AvatarMany deviants wonder how to have their own personalized avatars, or icons - if you prefer.
I have already created a tutorial showing how I made many of my customized avatars - you can check it here - but since it's very old, I decided to create a new onel. : )
It is big, since I tried to put as many information as possible.
Also, bare in mind that this tutorial is explained in a simple way, so even beginners and newbies will understand it.
I hope it will help! How to Set your Avatar
Firstly, I will teach how to set your avatar.
If you already know, feel free to skip this step.
This step is for the new deviants that are still not used to deviantART mechanics.
1) Go to your profile. Click over the place where your icon will be - on the left top side of your profile.
2) A box call

First, sorry for the grammar errors ! I just saw a lot of them.
Some people asked me how i make my avatars. I made this tutorial to show everyone !
In this tutorial, you will be able to learn how to make your own avatar and also how to submit it on deviant art.

I was making my own icon and saved it as a gif file but it came out to 68 KB. It has no layers either, just an image. If you know anything about this could you message me back?
I tried saving it as a jpeg too but it only came out to 48. I fail!

Ayandora In reply to Lordfell [2010-12-20 21:12:24 +0000 UTC]
well i heard that da is accepting icons bigger than 15 kb (though that i am not sure of it!). why don't you try it anyway?
is the size of your icon 50x50 px? maybe it is too big!
