[Inconspicularity]

Man, I love the smell of new threads.

[Weeaboo]

Smells like butt to me.

[Rikushadow5]

THAT CURSED BATTERWITCH HAS HER CLAWS IN EVERYTHING.

But seriously, there needs to be an avvi/sig that is composed of ALL of the Memes. ALL OF THEM.

[mysteriousOutsider]

Okay then. Let's get this thread started off right. By which I mean with things I am starting to regret.

Here is every eyebrow avatar that I am personally responsible for. So you know who to blame. They are in roughly chronological order.



Not all of these ended up being used, but most of them did.

[HelpMeEirin]

My gosh, look at all those eyebrows, wiggling seductively at me! I feel so overwhelmed.

Look, even Nepeta is doing it, and with a fancy suit, too. o:

[MythicalWashrag]

And here are the ones by me, in chronological order, but backwards!:


Just like mO not all of them are being used, but most are. I know the SBaHJ-poster one is not.

Sheesh that's a lot of eyebrows. ALL OF THE EYBROWS.

[mysteriousOutsider]

That is exactly 43 eyebrows.

[Rikushadow5]

Pretty sure this one has like 40 eyebrows on its own:

[mysteriousOutsider]

Erp I posted that before you edited MW's post in.

There are 43 in mine.

[Raggedy Annachronistic]

Obviously, I jumped on the eyebrow bandwagon as well. I mean, how can one resist it? It's just such a profoundly tempting thing to do.

[Weeaboo]

You can't make me eyebrow.

I can break these cuffs.

Also the intro post makes me think of a bad Disney movie.

[Solaira]

Hello, my fellow eyebrow-y avatarlicious forumites

[nikle]

I made a few..

[Aduross]

I only made two.



Because I was kinda burnt out on animating shit. And once again many thanks to MythicalWashrag and OrangeAipom for my avatar.

[randomRulemaker]

I did my own and this other one:

[Trinity of Shadows]

What's so appealing about "eyebrow" avatars? I kinda find these a little... creepy... or maybe I'm just jealous because I can't make anything even if I had all the creative software in the world... or I can't make .gifs at least.

Edit: I am not grumpy I am genuinely curious about the appeal of "eyebrow" avatars and I tend to talk to much when I just need to say one thing because I get carried away and I'm doing it again aren't I...

The appeal is that it's silly

Also, for me, this is the first time I've animated anything--and it's so much fun! Really!

I tried a number of methods and overcomplicated things massively before finding easier ways to do stuff, so here's my advice:

1. Download ulead gif animator (it's free for 15 days), and find a random mspa image to use as your base.
2. Add a new object from the pane on the right hand side (These are basically layers).
3. Draw some eyebrows in on the new transparent object with the paint tool (you'll probably have to reduce the brush size).
4. You now have your first animation frame, which is shown on the bottom. Duplicate it.
5. On the second frame, double click on the eyebrow object--it should bring up a properties box. On the position tab, reduce the height value by around 10 pixels.
6. You now have the apex eyebrow position.
7. Right click on the first frame, and select tweening. Add 3 intermediate frames between the 1st and 2nd original frames.
8. Select these new frames, and duplicate them. Move the duplicates to the end, and reverse their order (that's an option in the right-click menu).
9. Finally, select all the frames, right-click and go into the properties. Set the frame duration to around 10/100ths of a second.
10. Save as a gif. Voila!

If anyone has any advice for me, please, give me some!

Hey ash look.

[ArcticDisease]

Ah man, I just spent all morning figuring out how to use gimp to animate, but I made the image the wrong size! here's how it turned out anyway:

Not sure how good it is since it's my first time ever using gimp to do anything other than edit 50's comics. If anybody knows how to edit my entire gif without remaking everything it would be greatly appreciated.

[MythicalWashrag]

AD, You can always scale image.

Image > Scale image.

Though naturally there will be some quality loss. Perhaps someone more well-versed can offer better advice if that doesn't work out.

It's just one of the things that took off because we're all crazy, like the Betty Crocker avatars. Plus, they're fun.
If you want a more detailed story on how it started...

It started with OrangeAipom, who's avatar had the eyebrows (scratch mom).

Then when the recent updates came out I posted manips of them in the Comic Discussion thread, like these:

Then the [S] update came out, with all those crazy suggestive eyebrows, and we all freaked out and put eyebrows on everything. Thank mysteriousOutsider and company for that funsplosion! Avatar memes are a thing you will see a LOT on this forum.

I think that that image is possibly even more seizure inducing than my current one.

That is SAYING SOMETHING.

Yeah that's what I was trying to figure out, since when I did it it was all pixel-y. And stuck on one slide Thanks ashdenej, that turned out better than the way I was doing it.
