Anime avatar sources?

Postby MightiMidget » Tue May 31, 2011 7:15 pm

So, I have been looking around for a good source to find anime avatars and thus far am not having much luck, since I don't know how to navigate LiveJournal.

Any suggestions?

I have a photobucket account. I put anime pics that I like on there and crop 'em myself.

If I have something specific in mind (for example, a Calcifer avvie), I use Google image search first, usually for a precise size. (Since the maximum dimensions for a CAA avatar is 100 x 100 pixels, that's typically what I search for.)

If I can't find something I like and still really want that Calcifer avatar, I'll use the avatar generator.

And sometimes I'll just Google "Calcifer avatars" or whatever, and occasionally I find a page filled with avatars. It's not as consistently successful as the other methods, though. Sometimes there isn't a good site, or I just don't find something I like.

If I were you I'd just find the perfect frame and then use print screen. That's what I do for my FB avys. Then you either load it onto photobucket or just upload it after you crop and resize it.

I either take screencaps myself or I go looking on pixiv and then crop them. I love pixiv.

One of the CAA member's has a site: Daystar Designs

That has icons as well as wallpapers, etc.

Also, there's: http://aethereality.net/avatars.php

Or you can shamelessly steal them from other forums.

Like me. I got this one from Animesuki. They're a good source because most series popular enough to have their own subforum will have a thread dedicated to making avatars of the series. Good source of static and animated avatars.
Blessed be the LORD my strength which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight:
My goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me.


神はそのひとり子を賜わったほどに、この世を愛して下さった。それは御子を信じる者がひとりも滅びないで、永遠の命を得るためである.

You could just use images found in Google and resize them.
