Introduction Welcome to the wonderful world of avatar making! Toa of the Moon and I have slowly made our own avatar Style on BionicleZone and are in direct competition with many well known members such as SamHideoLopez and others. They have made their style primary on BionicleZone for many months, and if you look around there are more than 100 members using one of their avatars. It's very much like facing a monopoly in the stock market or small computer companies trying to rival Microsoft©! I think we've pulled off some of it even with all odds against us and for all that, I am thankful. Now I finally bring to you the future of fully-customizable avatar making - the expandable Avatar Kit. This method, first thought of by SamHideoLopez, is now wide-spread around BZ and is being tried by many people. I give you a kit with more pieces in it than SamHideoLopez's, and more detailed and sharper looking than the original triangle body design that was so widely used. I give you "ToMon" avatars! A bit of a getaway from the chibi design that was so popular. It's so new looking that it needs a new name! Now that I have explaned the origin of ToMon avatars, I will give you simple instructions for first-time users and anyone who wants an overview of the process. _______________________________________________________________________________ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 2. Basic instructions (1) Open the desired type of Avatar Template. Let's use the Toa template for now. (2) Open the file called "Make your avatar here.bmp". this is a 64×64 pixel square that will be where you assemble your avatar. (3) Put the main body piece from your template in the middle of your 64×64 pixel square by copying and pasting it onto the square. It doesn't have to be exactly in the middle for now. We will fix this later. (4) Place your leg peices on the black stubs on the bottom of the body. They should fit perfectly onto them. Then add the feet to the bottom of the legs. Again, everything should fit right together. Then select the whole area and move it until the bottom of the feet touch the bottom of the 64×64 pixel square. (5) Add the arm pieces that would best fit your MOC. If your MOC has an upside-down "Pohatu" body, use the tan- colored arms, they work best. (6) The stubbed Arm peice is made for the attachment of a weapon in the Weapons section. If you are using this, select your weapon and attach it to your arm stub. (7) Next, choose your kanohi mask and attach it to your Toa. Make sure the bottom of the mask touches the stub on the top of the toa body. (8) Last but not least, flood your avatar with color. You may have to try different shades, suggested by the gray tones, to get the best results. _______________________________________________________________________________ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ 3.
