Old About Avatar's and How to get one!

[stormbind]

Thanks for trying. The colour looks a little distorted?

I might have a go at adding the border to a more square image. Humn. It's a tricky one imho.

 

[Gogf]

Wait, you wanted the border?

I was messing around with the stormbind card and came up with these.

@Space - I believe that was the shortest length of time an avatar has been used after chosen

Mistfit had just inspired me. I made a new image, and my (secondary) HDD spun like crazy (high pitched squeek), it wouldn't seek, and it started smelling of burned rubber, when trying to save the image... so had to press the power button and lost my effort.

Lost of load of more serious work aswell

I blaim this on Maxtor: world-renowned manufacturer of utter junk!!

I know... it was a bit too serious for my liking afterall. I came across this one on a page about aurora borealis on the NASA space weather website, and decided to have a go and modify it a bit to fit my needs.

@space: What background do you use for the fourm? In the standard one the space guy shows up the same color as the background (grey) I redid one if you are interested to make him white again...for me at least

And one where he is centered in the 70 wide pixle area

Would someone be willing to make an avatar for me? I know what I want:
the first tiger off this link:

and the text:

Тигр Огня

I would be most appreciative.

 

[shadowdude]

This one was a quick attempt- is it close to what you want?

 

[Plexus]

 

[Arminius]

Thank you both. Perfect.

Well it seems that election season is fast approaching, therefore I am temporarily retiring the DPU and will be in need of a political replacement.

What I would like the avatar to look like:I would like a mock campaign poster with the words "Cheney Ashcroft 2008" in it.

 

[Gogf]

I recently found a tutorial that could help. Might take a bit, but it will look good.

 

[shadowdude]

A quick one- I'll try making more.

 

[shadowdude]

Here is another, much better one.

 

[Gogf]

Nice second one Shadowdude!

I tried a totally different approach. However, the image was so small that the blending between Cheney and Ashcroft is almost unnoticible .

i like the attached one better, but if you want the elephant in it:

Can someone help me make the avatar of the 'Government Icon' in Civ III in the Civiliopedia and help me make a collection so I could decide what to choose.Thanks in advance

 

[shadowdude]

[shadowdude]

This one is ever so slightly larger...

 

[shadowdude]

This one is smaller, but sharper.
