> [@Dr.Crap](#): > > @BigT @TroutMan [Same idea, but with a better source image.](https://imgur.com/a/5rYy6Wf) Let me know what you think. I actually wasn’t sure I’d actually change anything, as I just wanted to see what you came up with. But, especially with the alpha channel, I kinda like it and want to give it a shot. Gone will be my hint at my name elsewhere, though. ---

Hmmm. I like it, but I’m not sure it _quite_ works at the normal size you see these - you can’t make out his eyes. ---

> [@GreenWyvern](#): > > You have to link to an image on another site. > > You can upload an image to any online image service and link it. Thanks. Such a dumb rule. It made some sense to forbid uploading images when that made a difference in what users saw, but now it’s just an annoyance. ---

I fooled around with my avatar at great length, and in the end, decided not to change it (much). However, I changed it on a different site and also found an image for my background card. ---

Why, thanks, Dr. Crap! I don’t know how well anyone can see that background card image but it cracks me up. 😆 [https://www.123rf.com/photo\_19599769\_dung-beetle-fallen-off-its-ball-of-dung-and-landed-on-its-back.html](https://www.123rf.com/photo_19599769_dung-beetle-fallen-off-its-ball-of-dung-and-landed-on-its-back.html) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-will-make-or-redo-your-avatar/914921.md?page=4)
