No, mistletoe is a plant parasite with white berries and rounded leaves:

While holly is a bush/tree with red berries and spikey leaves:

Sorry for pedantry.

Does anyone have any ideas for christmas-ising the Ninth Charm (my avvie)? Hundreds more pics here if anyone can be bothered to look.

 

[Lozzy_Ozzy]

Hmmm...

I'll think about it Sophie, and get to work on Ginger Ale's as well.

 

[cidknee]

awesome dease.... u are the master. Thanks

 

[Not_Bob]

HEY lyonesse
thanks i was wondering if maybe you could get me an avatar??
Maybe not a shield, havent really thought about it yet but.....
also something depicting a dragon like in page one of this thread,
but ya it can be a sheild if you want, right now im in the design process of drawing things i like so whatever blows your hair back would be great right now...

 

[Lyonesse]

I have to get all my plug-ins back into my Photoshop (computer crash number two in as many months ) But I'll see what I can do in the meantime. I'm sure all the other WONDERFUL artists here would be happy to help as well!!!

My plugins have all my favorite filters on them! i'll get hubby working on my photoshop ASAP! In the meantime if you can think of any specifics that would be great! i.e. colors? lettering? "cartoonish"? background? just what you'd prefer!

@ all, I think I am FINALLY to a point after my move/computer crashes that I will be able to get back in here, and hopefully, SOON, get LAHP updated. Thanks, once again, for being so patient

 

[raen]

Lyonesse hope you come back soon and with all solved we miss you

EDIT: 3rd

Many Thanks Dease

I had to put in png format, he says its an animation (the gif) and cant be uploaded

Does anyone have any ideas for christmas-ising the Ninth Charm (my avvie)?

My idea for it

 

[Ansar]

<<<<<<<<<<< X-Matize my avvy?, im pretty sure Shadowdude has it, or its in page 90-99.

 

[madviking]

Can anyone resize and christmasize this?

 

[Chieftess]

Well, it's time for a change. I need my new avatar to look like my current Civ3 Christmas Settler avatar.

(yes, I know about the whitespace -- this was a draft version of it). (remember, it's 80x80)

 

[ybbor]

not sure whether you wanted the Christmas moved to the new avatar, or the new avatar moved to the Christmas. I did the latter; it was easier and cleaner I also did a bit of sharpening

and here's a transparent version of the copy you provided (again with sharpening):

 

[Chieftess]

That's what I meant.

 

[The Person]

Didn't notice those until now. Nice ones!

 

[Dease]

Sophie:

Ansar - Which image do you want christmasized?
Anyway, here's one i think may work

Gingerale - You've got a cool avvie

Madviking - Simple but I hope effective

@Lozzy Ozzy, Dease - those are awesome! Thanks!
Any chance one of you could make a combination - the icy-looking water from Lozzy's, and the snow but blue sky from Dease's? I love the snowy trees, but I love the icebergs too. The icebergs don't contrast very much with the sail, though, so it's not immediately obvious you're looking at a boat. The Ninth Charm is flying along, though (in that pic), so maybe it needs the ruffled water. Hmm...

 

[Ginger_Ale]

Dease, it's great!

I knew I was invisible, here is the proof

Yes it seems to fly, I tried to put it on ice. maye I can find a better iceberg too.

 

[Ansar]

Is there anything you can do with the one I have right now?

But the other is good too.

 

[Sophie 378]

Sorry, Raen! I just assumed you were Lozzy Ozzy because he said he'd think about it!

BTW, the original is at http://groups.msn.com/NinthCharm if anyone wants it.

Got the original? That ones a bit close up.

And, a Rudolph nose would be an idea, if you wanted (I could do that on the current one).
