Goons Are Gifts

aturing our newest butt thread tag, in case you haven't noticed, we have that now. It makes every thread better, because of butts.

Check out last year's spoopy Halloween parade

Alright so because 2020 is a scary year and a scary year needs a scary BYOB, it's a law of physics. This year, we are going to make something a little bit different, as the usual we make avs and then buy them individually in the store is not an excellent option right now. Here's how's this supposed to work:
1. You request an av and/or sig ITT, feel free to specify ideas or let the artist's creativity flow freely, anything goes! Remember that the usual dimensions and limitations of avs apply (max 180x180px, 150kB, only GIF, PNG and JPGs, always work-safe). Sigs as usual.
1a. You offer to make someone else an av and/or sig! It's the greatest honor to be gifted a spooky av or sig and every artist who deserves a special place in heaven (the BYOB Goldmine).
2. You get an av and/or sig made, or make one yourself and post it here! Just tell me as soon as you're happy with your av, sigs can be enabled in your UCP at any time and any stage by yourself (User Control Panel -> Edit Profile -> Signature in [img] tags).
3. I'll collect finished avs by downloading them and placing them in my super comfortable av waiting area, where I also keep all the couches we stole with the spaceship, so they definitely will have it comfy.
4. As soon as we collected a majority/a good number/any good number that most people are happy with of avs, I'll pack them up and FedEx them to the admins, who will upload them to the servers.
5. al and me start queueing the uploaded avs for every poster and BYOB gets super scary as soon as the mod queue is being flushed and the changes go through.

Since I anticipate a certain time we will need to create avs, collect them, get them uploaded, queued and approved and halloween is not even a month away from now, I'd definitely run a first batch one or two weeks before halloween (if possible), but that's not to say that we are in a rush or that our artists need to be quicker than usual - we can just as well keep our scary avs a bit longer this year and revert later in November, so we can enjoy each other's avs a bit longer. That brings me to

6. Once we are happy and done and we want to go back to less scary BYOB, the mods will revert your scary av to your regular av (if you want) and we're back to normal. I'll collect your current avs and setups while managing your freshly created halloween ones, so the server links remain valid, but make sure to point out any specifications for your current av (like centered text, special colors etc.) in your post, else I might screw that part up.

Since this year's halloween av obviously are going to be free for everyone you don't have to pay for any of those changes, I'd like to suggest that - if you can and want, not a requirement! - you maybe donate a little money to a nice charity of your choice! We started doing this in exchange for various forum changes with a request thread in QCS and it's a nice alternative to spending money on the forums. You don't have to post proof or anything, it's just a nice suggestion to do something good this year.

Post!!!

I'll start off with requesting a halloween av and, if you like, an accompanying sig. A basic idea I had but failed to work on myself because how does computer work, would be to turn the milkshake Assy McGee is drinking in my current av into bloody red, maybe a vampire cape or horns or something like that? Just an idea I had, I'm open for all the butts!

This is my favorite thread of the year!!!!!!!!

I am very happy with my amazingly spoopy av nut made last year and I don’t need another one unless someone is very inspired to make one! I don’t know how to do av magic, but maybe I will learn.

Love that bouncing pumpkin nut av

Here are all of our spoopy Halloween tags

If you'd like those or any other tags below your av, like trashed crew and stuff like that, just tell me in your finishing post. Note that those, also, have to be uploaded on SA servers (fi.somethingawful.com), as I cannot queue things that aren't on our own servers.

That's super easy! I can get you guys already existing Halloween avs (if on the SA servers) as well as tags in a bit and get you going already. The procedure for new uploads etc is only needed for entirely new stuff that is not uploaded yet.

If anyone would like a name change for Halloween, that by the way is also quite easily possible. Just remember to make sure your login data and email saved are correct, so we don't lock you out of your account.

I edited in the output of everyone's current av setup from the mod panel, so I can easily revert your avs using exactly that code, so if I edited your posts, it was to leave a note for future gag that the code listed is correct!
Queued up all the pumpkin pals as well as the existing halloween avs up to here.

I can queue those now already, so you can get going faster than the new avs, but in practical terms nothing really changes to the regular procedure, only that you have wait a but longer for a new av to show up on your profile. So you are free to use an old one as well as a new one, whatever you prefer!

hey guys I posted this in the sigs thread too, but what software do you guys use to make animated avs?

it's been about 10ish years since i did photoshop and 3dsmax and stuff so i'm a bit out of the art loop

Goons Are Gifts

For my own stuff, which I hardly ever post because I am terrible at art, I use photoshop. I think the most popular programs here is GIMP for most purposes like sigs and AVs and blender for animation and I assume sigs and avs. Some even use paint, I heard.


Diorama

i remember when all this was fields
drat. my problem with GIMP is that 95% of the tutorials online are for previous versions, and they have often changed the workflows enough that you get to step 8 in the tutorial and have to use a tool that no longer exists, or works differently now
