For my avatar (it feels so strange not using my normal one!) I picked a screenshot of a deer from the Twilight Forest Minecraft mod, and for my signature, a .gif of Ashenvale, two of my favorite enchanted forests in games! Hope this works as an entry!
Let's try this again. Inspired by one of my favourite Studio Ghibli films "The Secret World of Arrietty". It's about a tiny girl who secretly lives in someone's dollhouse. She ventures out to the owner's cottage and surrounding forest to forage things for her family.
I wanted to make an avatar that would perfectly fit into my beautiful first backdrop so I drew and animated it myself. I also made a matching signature. I'm so happy that I managed to get it done! The .gif exporting was a never-ending nightmare.
Better late than never. My glowing mossball-ification is done.
I may do minor tweaks before the deadline but nothing drastic.
quick edit to this post: I tried to keep the glowing and animation on a level that isn't too distracting or strobe like. Unfortunately due to gif exporting this is the slowest I could get it. If it's a problem please give me a nudge and I'll update it to a stationary image or tweak the contrast.
