I was wondering if anyone of SF are good at making animated gifs?
Or know where to get them?
Reason being is i am experimenting with animated gif images in the usernames of my forum as many of you have seen in the past.
But the standard ones are far to gay for my site.
Ones like this work well but truely suck.





And so on.
Really im more looking for lightning or more dark sort of animation...
So anyone good at making them or know where to get them?

Also transparent background is a must given my forums background changes in different areas.

Any help or advice would be appreciated cheers.

If you google what you're looking for, in this case lightning, and put "animated gif" after it, you can normally find them easily. Well, that's how I find most of mine. Forum look's good by the way, will sign up later when I get a chance. If you're talking about FTW Forum that is

Just Google it, their are thousands of websites that have them.

Get on Hackforums. The artists on there are absolutely amazing.

Good luck, and as the guy above me said, Google it, I guarantee it'll help =P
