Alright so you guys may have noticed that the wolf avatars are significantly larger than the sabers. So lets decide who is gonna change because its really annoying having unrealistically sized avies.
Here is an image of how the resized version will look like:
choice A only the normal wolves get smaller, everything else is the same.
on the second one the sabers and shaja wolves get larger and are more distorted, making life harder for me.

Bah! My vote is wrong! I wanted to select 'resize the sabres' (accidently voted for change nothing). I really like the size of the wolf avies, let's just make the sabres the same size.

Think of it this way, the avatars are already large in comparison to their surroundings. Making them larger will look weird, so it's better that they just stay their original size, and that the main wolf avatar is shrunk down.

Preferably, Pixels are not your friends when it comes to patching when you make them larger, also make shure that if you resize on MS paint or w/e use 'Stretch and Screw' al whole lot simpler and not as many pixels get lost.
Furcadia's Patches are not Vector Graphics, there Bitmapped, so they look more pixelized when you resize. Homg, you all learnt something.
Also, in Evolutionary Terms, things get bigger in times of uncertainty. So therefore it's not really a waste of team-effort to resize them all. there's no point of it, Sabres and wolves didn't really actually LIVE in Alaska, in co-existance for a long, long time they lived the the more southern points, due to the fact that it would of been too cold. AWW is all fictitious larger sizes in the future due to evolution would be natural in there world.

I STRONGLY think the avatars should be left the way they are. If you resize anything, they're going to look horrible and messy, no matter how much time you spend editing them.
Everyone with half a brain knows the sabers are larger than the average wolf, and that the cult of shaja wolves are apparently slightly larger than sabers (I just learned this from seeing the sizes thread) I don't think changing the avi size is necessary. I'd be all for it, but they'll look wierd and pixel-ish like Comp said.

Thats why I believe choice A is the best. Not only do they look proportional to their surroundings (since when are wolves the size of deer?). If what compile said about things getting bigger with evolution then I would have to make bigger game. The avatars would only look messy if I resized them to make it bigger (I use MS paint because photoshop blends the colors while paint leaves it pixeled) because the pixels become bigger so it looks real blocky, smaller is just better detail. THe image I provided in A is an unedited, so when I smooth it out it should look good.
Here an idea, how about I resize them and release it for a day or so for a test drive and see how everyone likes it? (I will only resize one wolf patch and then the others when i see people's reactions)

Why not give it a try Nark? Looking at the pics you've posted here is one thing, but perhaps giving the resized avies a try would be better. For those players who don't visit the forums regularly, why not have an entry post stating what you've done and to vote for the new looks on the forums.

Well I think the avatars are fine. Although I imagine that sabers are more muscular & huskyer than wolves. So I think the sabers could be bigger. But either way I'm fine with whatever happens.

I like the smaller wolf thing. Everyone that wishes to play as a wolf should turn to feline, NOW D:<!! xD. Anyways, I like it cause it looks a little more realistic Sabers are bigger that wolves, right? So I think we should make the wolves smaller ;D It's awesome like this!!
