Pixel Joint Forum: Using a Bad Piece for my Icon

Message

   I tried to upload the image I'd like to use as my icon today, but it got rejected. I'd expect it to because of its really poor quality; it is plainly of the "minimal effort" variety.

But, I have used this image as my icon across the internet for the past seven years. It has a lot of sentimental value to me.

So, I would like to use it, especially since I'm finally getting to making more pixel art.

How can I make this happen? If I may at all?

	The image won't be accepted in the gallery, but luckily that doesn't need to stop you from using it as your icon! Also rejected pieces can be used as an avatar, click on the middle icon (the face) below the piece to use it as an avatar. However, to be able to see this feature the preview icon needs to be 64x64 or smaller, the current 80x80 can't be used as an avatar. I hope that helps, good luck!

	Thank you so much T_T Looks like I'll have to bluster up the queue one more time to make it small enough, but after that I should be home free forever. Hopefully this all works out by the end of the day. I'm... excited to participate more in this community, if I finally get the chance.
