Want to add a mask to your avatar for the Anniversary Event but has no idea how? No graphic programs?

Drop your chosen mask in this thread and I'll put them on for you.

Please try to find a transparent image if possible to make my life easier. Transparent images has no white background. Google is your friend, just look up "Transparent masquerade mask" or something along those lines.

Oh! and you can use this website: http://html-color-codes.info/colors-from-image/ to identify any other weird colors in the background.

Kyra has offered a potential solution for those having trouble finding transparent images!

Found one finally XD http://www.haverfordlibrary.org/sites/default/files/images/htfl/purple-masquerade-mask-hi.png

Thank you!!

I really like this one but I'm not sure if it's transparent, so if it's not, this one would also work

Found a mask.

First one sadly isn't transparent!

No problem! It still looks awesome

Thank you!

Yeah I'm not having much luck at finding transparent masks 

EDIT: It's not transparent, but can you with with this or nah?

Where are you guys finding transparent masks? All I get are see through-ish ones.

I love you 

Question: am I allowed to change the mask on my avatar if I find a better one, or am I stuck with this one for the rest of the festivities?

Because I found an even better mask, but I don't have the skills to edit it properly.

this one for ami: https://img1.etsystatic.com/062/0/10685492/il_570xN.751159219_er2b.jpg

this is Makotos: http://cliparts.co/cliparts/8T6/8R5/8T68R5d7c.png

Did you mean for the green one to be for Ami and blue for Mako? Just checking that you didn't mean the other way around before I work on this.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK YOU SO MUCH

here's the blank avi


and here's the mask. For some reason it was supposed to be transparent, but it wouldn't save like that.

So like, when I did the image resize thing, I selected white (that what I was supposed to do right? Selct the current background color to make it transparent) but then it was all weird. Did I do something wrong?

yes green for ami chan and blue for mako chan..the cute twosome switched mask colors

XD the program takes a little tweaking - I'm making a quick-and-dirty instruction video thing, just a sec!

Awaiting the video! I still couldn't make my mask image transparent for some reason.

x.x so livestream isn't letting me save any of the five tutorial videos I've made for this and I'm at the end of my patience with it. 

Biggest Tips:
1. When you choose the color, and you know that that background color isn't all exactly that color, use the "Fuzz" at like 10% to erase the rest of it. 
2. ALWAYS change to PNG! the default 'jpeg' doesn't save transparency!
3. Go for "Lossless Compression"! otherwise you get random sprinkles of off-color sprites, and nobody likes that.
4. Then hit "Resize" and chill until it lets you view your new image. Click that, and check the transparency.
IF not all color is gone from background, go back to the editing page and up the fuzz value to like 15% and hit 'resize' again. XD Just tweak!
Save the image you're happy with to your computer! Don't lose all that hard work!
Do not worry if small pieces of your mask become transparent! It'll be so small in your avatar it won't be noticeable!

make it look like this:

If you have shadows beneath your mask, or the background behind your mask is not an easy color to find, use this website.
((If you got rid of most of the background above, save your new mostly-transparent image, and then upload that one so you're only working out the kinks, rather than starting from scratch))
1. Upload your image, and then hit 'view image' or whatever it has on the top right there, and then tadaaa you've got your image. Hover over the color you want to identify (to make transparent) and it'll spit out a hex code in the bottom - like #FFFFFF. 
2. Copy JUST THE LETTERS, and then go back to the transparent program (the first one we used), and then choose "HEX COLOR" and paste in that value. 
3. You'll want to change the fuzz to 5 to start, then go through the process of 'resize' and 'view' and tweak the fuzz some more until you've got it!
Do not worry if small pieces of your mask become transparent! It'll be so small in your avatar it won't be noticeable!
MAKE SURE TO RIGHT-CLICK AND 'SAVE IMAGE' TO YOUR COMPUTER WHEN YOU HAVE THE ONE YOU WANT!

AND THEN THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT!
Use another hoster like Photobucket or Imgur, and upload your finished product there! Then copy/paste that image url here (or slap it in between some [img] tags so it shows up nice and pretty and transparent) and you're good to go.

Can an admin find me a purple mask for my avatar? 
I only have access via my phone until the 18.

I thought I'd drop by since I can't sleep.

THANK YOU FOR THE HELP URANUS OMG THIS WILL HELP ME OUT SO MUCH WITH GRAPHIC MAKING

*that aside, here's the new mask image
EDIT
Reposted without the odd box lines. (at least I figured out how to do that)


and a repost of my avi


Thank you so much guys!

Okay I hope it worked.

I found one but I cant seem to upload it.

Sorry for the long link....I just can't figure out how to hyperlink via mobile.

Sorry if some of these look off - the masks don't always fit the image well. I did the best I could with them!

Thanks bubbles
