Peaceful Warrior,

I pretty much stumbled across it from a Google search. I put "free avatars" in the search box and it wasn't until page 6 or so of the search that I came across this site. The other pages didn't turn up decent avatars or the sizes weren't right, so I was glad to find this one.

Very best,

I noticed that some of the images were taken from Luis Royo's paintings.
He's one of my favourite artists.

His homepage is http://www.luisroyo.com

Cool site Nick [8D]

sahlyn, man I hadn't heard of Luis Royo before, but have to say that was quite a website. I also clicked on the "curiosities" link and was glad I had shockwave player, if you know what I mean.

strwrs_guru, you're welcome, I was happy to have come across a site where the avatars are plentiful, free and the correct size.

Bad Moon Rising, thanks for the post. I'll be sure to check out the site.

Squeek, I like your avatar too. [:)]

Hi Jodi,

Not sure at this point regarding your query. Please give it another try if nothing shows up soon in avatar legend, then PM me if the problem persists. Also, below is a rundown on a method for uploading avatars. Remember the ideal pixel size here at the Astral Pulse is 64 X 64, although something close to that is ok.

So how do you upload an avatar?

The way I did it was to go to http://www.e-cadfael.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Avatars.htm and pick out an avatar. Then I right-clicked on the photo. In the drop-down menu I selected "save picture as", then saved it to the "my pictures" folder (although you can save it to any location you want).

Then I opened up the little box here at the astral pulse for uploading your photo/avatar. In the right portioon of the box I clicked on the "browse" button. Then the "my pictures" folder, then I highlighted the photo by left-clicking on it, then clicked on "open" at the bottom right of the "my pictures" folder box.

The last step saved it to the Astral Pulse (upload) box. Then a few hours later, after the photo was approved, I looked and found it in the "Avatar Legend" section. Then I went to my "Member Profile" and selected it and clicked "submit".

The operating system I use is Windows XP which has a "My Pictures" folder which like a number of other features on XP, is more intuitive than its predecessors. However, I believe saving the photo to another folder, even one you create for the purpose, will do.

Good luck! [:)]

Hi T_Kman0610,

Hey I'm glad you found the site too! [:)] It's a nice one. When I came across it last June I thought it would be a good idea to post the link so I did so. Did you post something before June? I don't remember seeing it? Anyway, glad you like the avatars too.

Here is a link to a free avatar website. The size is 65 X 65 pixels so it is very close to what is considered the optimum size here at the Astral Pulse. There are about 700 to choose from.
