I'll try, Nightwing! :)
I'm no graphic artist, but I've been enjoying making some avatars of Clint for the board if anyone would like any of these.
legend!
anyone else think this board looks better than the old one?
i definitely think so ;)
...I have a questionXichado, you HAVE seen Unforgiven, haven't you? William Munny does have a mustache in the opening scenes on the Kansas hog farm. After he makes the difficult decision to go on the bounty hunt with the Schofield Kid, he shaves it off. He's holding a fragment of mirror as he does so, standing by the window in the gloomy sod hut. A bird is heard singing in a tree outside ... and that makes him look up and out the window, where he sees the tree and the stones that mark his wife's grave. The next scene shows him taking flowers to her grave.(http://www.glg.ed.ac.uk/home/s9810658/images/munny.jpg)is Clint wearing a moustache on this avatar? ???
I have seen this picture before and I can't be sure if that's a moustache or a shade.
Xichado, you HAVE seen Unforgiven, haven't you?

:o OH NO! Wait, I voted Unforgiven off Matt's island... FORGET about that shaving :-\ :-X
Hey everyone, here are some Unforgiven avatars I drummed up this past weekend. Hope you enjoy!

Look through this whole thread, Adam. There's quite a few from both of those films already here.Thanks, Matt. You may notice that I've changed my avatar amd my personal text.
Clintus, an avatar is the little picture that most of us have under our user names. If you'd like to use one, you can right click on any of the pictures in this thread, select "properties", then highlight the entire URL (web address), go into your profile (enter your password) and then go to the section on avatars. You can check the box that says "I have my own pic", and click on the empty field there, right click your mouse and hit "paste". The URL will go in the field, and you can exit out of your profile and have a picture under your user name as well.Matt, you're a real star......thanks for that. I will get my profile updated shortly. Even I can understand how to do this. Good, man, and..........thanks.
Though the male members of the board would surely disagree, I am not as fond of the ones where Becky is all greased up, and displaying her wares ::) And the handcuffs one...what can I say :oWhat's wrong with the one where Becky is greased up? ;) :D

Well, in how many pics of Clint on the board do we see him 'displaying his wares'? ;) ;DI could make a few avatars of Clint's... butt, but I'd really rather not. ;D

wares
plural noun
1 small items for selling, in a market or on the street but not usually in a shop:
- Some displayed their wares on stalls, while others had just spread them out on the pavement.
2 INFORMAL
a company's products:
- The company must do more to promote their wares overseas.
Awwwww! Still, the ones you've done are very good, Kal.Yeah, I looked it up myself. ;)
Christopher - from the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary:Stick with me kid, and you may just get yourself an heducation ;)
Ok, do an avatar of Clint in the handcuffs (if there is one) or at least, with the handcuffs, so that I can rival Christopher's current choice of avatar, and all is forgiven :P
Adam S - Here's a picture of what your avatar will look like. It's awfully dark. Maybe Matt can lighten it up for you but I thought I'd show you this because you might want to look around for a picture that's not quite so dark.Ok, how about this one: http://www.hpphoto.com/sessions/857701761372/37909316lg.jpg

I'll play around with it for a little while and see if I can make it somewhat lighter but right now, the only thing you can really see is his guitar.
I can play around with the picture that mgk did for you and see if I can lighten it up, but I can't host it. I had to put a moratorium on hosting non-Clint avatars for the board... I just don't have the space on my site for all the Clint-related stuff as it is. :(
You can do the rest when more stills come out. ;)
(I've also replaced the missing images from the True Crime thread, and will get around to fixing any other broken images in my older posts that aren't locked).
Dave, the first two are from the line in the scene you were talking about. I grabbed a few more that you might like too.

5 new avatars added to my site's (http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/movietributes/cewb/avatars/avatars.html) "real-life Clint" section.

WeAllGotItCominKid, did you try the "Profile" option? See my post just above yours.
You should lose the Imageshack links, though. Do as I suggested and post the code from the "My Images" page, or just cut out the [ URL=http://imageshack.us] [ /URL] tags around the [ IMG] [/IMG] tags. That advertisement for "The dumb test" is especially annoying.

A few new ones for the Gran Torino fans. 8)
I figured out how to resize an image in Paint without distorting it. Load your image, select a square area, and go to Image and Crop. Then, look at Image and "Attributes." You'll get something like Width 448 Height 465 ... it won't be exactly square. But you can resize it here. Just replace the larger of the two dimensions with the smaller, so the "Attributes" are Width 448 Height 448 (or whatever). Of course, make sure you're not cutting off anything important.
Now you have a square, but bigger than you want. Go to Resize/Skew and figure out what % you need to reduce it by to get it to av size (65 x 65). Hint: Use Windows Calculator and divide 65 by the height/width of your picture. Type that percentage in both Horizontal and Vertical under Resize.
That should do it.

The program "Paint" is found in your Accessories folder. If you have a recent version of Windows, click Start, then All Programs, then Accessories.
In this case, you can't save the large image as is to your computer, so you would start with one of the small ones (in a frame) that are shown beneath it. Save it to your computer, then open it in Paint. Crop off the frame, then select a squarish area from what remains and proceed as above.
If you have some other image editing software on your computer such as Adobe Photoshop, you may find that easier to work with.
Here are two versions I made, the first using Paint and the second using Photoshop. You're welcome to use either.
