While I was poking around the Kart00 map for masqthephlsphr's site, the most far-flung link I came across was this Brazilian weblog. We've had a few Brazilian posters at the board -- Vox Populi comes to mind. I think, but am not sure, that Filipe Rijo (or some such) was also Brazilian, and also that Filipe would better fit the demographics of "Oz," the mastermind behind the Ultimato weblog.

I do not use the word "mastermind" lightly. If you scroll down the weblog (and wait a while for the large number of graphics to load), you will come across one of the most delightful posts I have encountered on the internet. Apparently, Oz discovered this Flash-enabled South Park character generator, and then used it (with an assist from Photoshop) to generate South Park X-Men. He did Cyclops, Jean, Beast, Iceman and Wolverine. I could not resist trying a couple of my own.


Storm


Rogue

And, I couldn't resist.


Professor X

I left a comment on Oz's blog asking if it was all right for me to make an icon using his artwork; I have not yet received permission. (Considering that mine is the only comment not in Portugese, I'm not sure how confident I should be that I'll receive an answer.) The icon has been made and uploaded. I will however hold off on using it for a few days until I've received word back from Oz.

I've seen a couple people use the generator for their lj icons

When I'm not distracted by that pesky thing called work, I'm fiddling with that South Park generator making pics of the fang gang... soon as I find a decent animated gif generator I'll post 'em.

What's your OS? Bit (my source, apparently, for all graphics related questions) sent me a cute little animation program that works with Windows -- it seems to be created for Windows 95 but works without a hitch on my Win XP machine. Let me know what you're running and I'll mail it to you.

(Oops, that paranthetical should read, "for all graphics related answers." I am the source for all graphics related questions.)

LOL!

Oh, I'm the source for quite a few graphics-related questions. ;-)

thanks!

I have my harddrive partitioned... Linux for most everything, but WindowsME to do the few things I haven't figured out how to do with Linux (for instance, getting my TV to work as a second monitor so I can watch DVDs).

GIMP does have the ability to make animated gifs, but it's a bit on the esoteric side, so still figuring it out. If I can figure out where the heck I put my old copy of Image Ready, I'll be thrilled... you can do some really nifty animations with that.

I can send the program, but I have several email addresses for you and am not sure which are active.

cool
