WillJ's avatar challenge!

[sourboy]

It can be game related or universal. I made the name for gaming purposes, but it also reflects my actual personality in a way. I wouldn't say I'm pissed off all the time, but I'm always a little 'sour' about the fact that...'every rose has its thorn.' Like that itch in the middle of your back that you just can't reach...or even my signature.

If you can portray that in any way via an avatar, you did dun good - I haven't one yet, cuz I couldn't! If not, anything Civ, hockey or guitar related is cool - as those are my primary interests.

Hope that helps!

Thanks!

Oops, you're right. I've been pronouncing your name in my head as "Lion-ease" rather than "lioness." Anyway, I've edited it.

 

[Lyonesse]

Cool! TY for the recognition!

Okay, while waiting for hubby to drop off the car so I could get to the doctor I quickly did this.... what do you think?

How about something without a shield?

That also looks good . I have a question. How do you make the background transparent?

Since I plan to have this Paratrooper's badge ->

to the background of this ->

I dont mind if the paratrooper's Badge gets resized to fit the 65 X 65 limit

 

[sourboy]

no pink!!

Let me sleep on ideas...but a shield or symbol would be sufficient too.

Something a bit closer to the original's would be nice.

 

[sourboy]

How about something more along the lines of war & peace, ying & yang...like a symbol of good & one of evil?

I can change the color of the letters if you like, without too many problems

OR

I can find a ying/yang symbol for you. Would you just want the symbol or would you like the symblol along with your username?

closer as in colors? design? or both LOL Not sure exactly how you'd like to change the original. If you could give me some more specifics that would be great.

 

[Archer 007]

maybe something interesting in the background instead of the solid red.

grrrrrrrr......65x65 does not like that gif...still working on it though

here's what what I have right now...both fall within the size limit <sigh> not 100% sure I like these though LOL back to the "drawing board"



not much difference with this one other than the letters are brighter. I think this is about as good as we will get with the "wings" added to the graphic. I went back and tried to resize "mara" but she didn't want to cooperate (typical woman, HEY wait....I'm a wom.....nevermind) Anyway....

Maybe a flag of some sort (something with words would be difficult i.e. most state flags)? Stars? Lightning? Sun? Moon? Just some thoughts....

too bad the size limits are so small this would have been cool, not sure you can make out the dragon in the smaller one without looking at the larger version though.

actual 65, 4k limit


regular graphics

I love those, but the file sizes are too big to be used

 

[Lyonesse]

which one would you like to use, I will work on making it small enough
