Here's some of my recent HF userbars. I can see massive improvements that can be done to my work but I feel like I am already improving a lot.
My biggest challenge as of right now is preserving the image quality and maintaining a 25kb size limit with animations, without the fear of losing quality.
I feel like the problem is with my methods of doing the animation, I should directly move to animating in photoshop so I wouldn't lose quality. You can see heavy quality loss in the userbars and it has limited the amount of detail and other factors.

- Simple userbar and met the clients requirements. If I were to rework this now I'd fix some lighting "issues".

- Love how it turned out but again, I had problems with maintaining quality. The 50kb version looks amazing.

- Really had fun making this one, coming up with something code related was difficult.

- Had problems with the animation in this one, never done anything like this and flames do take a lot of space. Give me more kilobytes and double the framerate.
Other userbars that I've only animated:

Would love to hear honest feedback.
