    1. @minti It seems like one I'll find myself using quite often. :P

      1. @bitshift YOUR AVATAR IS GLORIOUS

        Thursday, 31-May-12 21:44:14 UTC from web
        1. @minti That was quick, I literally only just switched to this one. xD

          1. @bitshift Your icon lives up to your name now

            1. @dariusponyperson Well, a bit shift is actually a mathematical operation (of sorts; not entirely sure if it would be technically classified that way), but yeah, it's still pretty fitting for the "bit" half of it. :)

              1. @bitshift You should just change your avatar to "x<<2" one day to see if people get it.

      2. @bitshift Nice new avatar you got there ☺

        Thursday, 31-May-12 21:44:41 UTC from web
        1. @toksyuryel Nobody should need more than 144 pixels. :)

          1. @bitshift 12x12? Tempted..

            Thursday, 31-May-12 21:48:51 UTC from web
            1. @minti Yep. Because the two sizes SN uses are 48x48 (timelines) and 96x96 (single notices/profile), and 12x12 is small while still scaling neatly to those sizes (though I recommend manually scaling it up to 96x96, with no interpolation of course, before uploading, since SN's own scaling algorithm is odd at the best of times).

              1. @bitshift Ooh, don't forget 24x24! The sidebar uses that.

                Thursday, 31-May-12 21:59:17 UTC from web
                1. @redenchilada Oh, good catch. Either way, they're all clean multiples of both 8x8 and 12x12, making them both perfectly decent sizes for pixelly avatars. :)

                2. @redenchilada And on that note... # switcharoo!

                  Thursday, 31-May-12 22:04:00 UTC from web
                  1. @bitshift I want to see how small you can make it. 36 pixels.

                    Thursday, 31-May-12 22:04:54 UTC from web
                    1. @redenchilada I think that might be _too_ small, but we shall see. :)

                      Thursday, 31-May-12 22:05:54 UTC from web
                      1. @bitshift I am so makin an 8x8 sprite of my oc.

                        Thursday, 31-May-12 22:08:23 UTC from web
                        1. @techdisk42 Im going to make a 1x1-sprite If mine :3 its going to have a cutie-mark too ^_^

                          Thursday, 31-May-12 22:09:59 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                          1. @derpyshy My 8x8 will be HD.

                            Thursday, 31-May-12 22:11:28 UTC from web
                            1. @techdisk42 Pfft! My 1x1 will have anti-alias, 3D, reformicalistic colorspots, carcanturic note-masks, and realism.

                              Thursday, 31-May-12 22:13:52 UTC from MuSTArDroid
                    2. @redenchilada Success!

                      Thursday, 31-May-12 22:15:37 UTC from web
                      1. @bitshift If you can do it in 16 I'll forever call you "highness".

                        Thursday, 31-May-12 22:17:29 UTC from web
                        1. @redenchilada Already done, sort of. Had to omit the cutie mark, or else it covers the entire torso. Not gonna switch to that one, so I'll upload it as an attachment instead: http://ur1.ca/9f5w4

                          Thursday, 31-May-12 22:19:03 UTC from web
                        2. @redenchilada Gotta say, having an earth pony OC certainly helps; I have no idea how you'd preserve wings or horns down to this size.

                          Thursday, 31-May-12 22:22:11 UTC from web
            2. @minti Yep.

              Thursday, 31-May-12 21:56:17 UTC from web
          2. @bitshift Now do it in 64 pixels.

            Thursday, 31-May-12 21:50:42 UTC from web
            1. @redenchilada 8x8? That should also scale neatly to 48x48 (and thus 96x96 by extension), so I might as well try it. :P

              Thursday, 31-May-12 21:57:08 UTC from web
    2. @minti hello! I i have my OC pic nao! you really only have to stick to the colours and the cutie mark. http://ur1.ca/9f5rn

      Thursday, 31-May-12 21:46:38 UTC from web
      1. @techdisk42 Yeah, I saw the one you sent earlier. I always check my mentions. ;p

        Thursday, 31-May-12 21:47:42 UTC from web
        1. @minti oh, right :P are you able to use it?
