Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

[shadowdude]

My final attempt.

 

[mad-bax]

Wow guys! Thanks... Now I'm going to feel bad about selecting just one! I will definitely pick one of the above, so there is no need to spend any more time on this.

Again, thank you.

 

[mad-bax]

Well, there were several I liked, but I've chosen this one because I think it fits the theme best.

 

[mad-bax]

People are not liking my new image so perhaps a change of tack...

Could this be coloured red and given some fancy lettering that says "SGOTM" ? Need to get rid of the Roman Numeral too.

I guess people just don't see me as a malevolent kind of person... not until they get to know me anyway

hmmmmm what did they not like? strange!

here's one to start off...working on more, so I will keep posting new ones on this post.

Not sure how fancy we can take the font while keeping it in the center...larger lettering shows better with a bit of a "glow" around it, with just black letter's I couldn't get it to show nice and strong like I wanted it to <growl>

 

[Gogf]

Lyoness pretty much covered the basics. What kind of fancy font do you want? What should it look like?

I can modifiy the below for a different font, or different colored gradient. I can also make the glow smaller, and therefore even harder to see.

This has a very slight glow. Hard to see, unless you're looking for it, but it makes the text much easier to read.

Also, I wasn't sure if you wanted to keep the white around the edges. I can remove it, if you want.

 

[mad-bax]

Thanks again everyone.

 

[Mistfit]

I know I'm to late but I had to try one with your previous specs.

 

[Gogf]

Wow, that's really good.

My problem is I can never come up with original ideas, and I don't have any good fonts.

 

[Mistfit]

Thanks Gogf... it took some thinking about MB to come up with it. I liked having the world and a pic of MB hamering out piss poor starts for us. And I thru in the background from a pic called "hell fire"

Fonts are tough because of the size restrictions of the Av's Most of the ones I have available to me can't be use because they lok silly when shrunk so small

 

[Lyonesse]

thought I'd show y'all where I find most of my fonts enjoy!

of course there are a TON of font sites out there, but I've found that if these sites don't have it, then other sites won't have it either

 

[Sir Bugsy]

Perhaps I could get one of you great artists to help me with an avatar. I've been trying to get something guitar related (my other hobby is writing and making music), but as you can see from my present avatar, they've been pretty weak.

 

[stratego]

Can someone take my current avatar and add "Thank You Lyonesse" to it. Lyonesse designed my avatar and I want to thank her, but I also want my signature space to be used on something else. Some small words would be fine, as long as it's readable.

 

[useless]

can someboy resize this amd make it small enough to be an avater and can somebody add useless at the bottem of the picture plese

 

[shadowdude]

Some guitar avs for bugsy...

 

[shadowdude]

Some avs for useless. Lyonesse could probably get you a better font but I'll post the ones I made.

 

[Mistfit]

some more to choose from. I can change colors of the fonts or change the font if you have one you like.

Small letters dont show up all that well but I thought I'd give it a try

 

[Mistfit]

1st attempt fot Sir Bugsy. I tried to incorperate all of your stated interests.

And just for fun

Sorry got side tracked here:

I don't know if you are a dead fan but I ran across this image while looking for things for you. I thought they were cool

 

[Mistfit]

Shadowdude: If you care I like your AV with the black background better. Either way it's cool.

This is reserved for SirPleb if he wants it. Cleaned enlarged and my new favorite tool - "lensflare"
