Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

Can anyone make me an avatar? I don't really know how to ask....

Yes, what kind of general idea?

The official line is that the server has to update the avatar permissions so you just have to wait a while for it to update.

Order: Phasmida (stick and leaf insects)

Macynia labiata (Thunberg’s Stick-insect)

Male 42-52mm, female 54-56mm. Females are small, plump insects, whereas males are rather stick-like with long cerci; both sexes are wingless and have short antennae. The male is light brownish green, with dark green legs and antennae, and bold pincer-like reddish brown cerci. The head and pronotum are yellowish with green bands. The Female has a yellow head and pronotum, with green bands; the antennae are green, except for two yellow basal segments. The mouthparts and cerci are pinkish-red, along with the end of the mesonotum laterally, otherwise the body colour is usually a beautiful leaf green with longitudinal cream side stripes from thorax to end of abdomen. Occasionally captive reared females are pinkish green or mauve

Oh come on... Is no one impressed that I knew what a "Phasmida" was?

 

[ybbor]

am impressed you looked it up? no.

 

[Mistfit]

I actually knew what it was before I looked it up. Of course the definition was copied off of the net but I do know my bugs

I did it!!!

I finally installed photoshop on this computer! Finally, really good filters!

Does anyone want to have a go at an appropriate avatar for me? I'd like to see something odd in space rather than Bowie, if you catch my drift.

 

[Gogf]

I didn't have many ideas.

 

[a space oddity]

Hmm, it's odd alright, but a bit too techy. I was thinking of something more organic, something with an identity, if you know what I mean.

 

[Gogf]

How about a squid in space? I could do that.

 

[Mistfit]

To be honest with you I do not know if I "caught your drift" These are pretty simple cut and pastes from existing graphics. Is this the direction you want to go? I personally like the 1st one.

 

[a space oddity]

Let me think about that. An octous with clear suckers might be nice, but I'll try to come up with something that'll fit. Maybe a platypus?

edit: @Mistfit: I recognize the cover of 2001! Well done.

 

[Gogf]

How's this?

Although I like it, I don't think it's very clear at first glance what it is. I like clarity in an avatar. Something in the style of mistfit's (without the spoons... ). The space avatars tend to get dark which is understandable but unfortunate.

Sorry if I appear to be too critical, I do appreciate the effort and I know how hard it is. I've tried to find something, but ended up chosing my current one.

lurker's comment: What about something along the lines of a green sun? That would be a 'space oddity'....
