General Vaughn, here's the pic I chose to convert into an avatar..

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1041168276.jpg

..before I could do anything I had to rework the color and remove the 'green' tint, brighten it up a bit and loose a bit of the fuzziness..

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1041168292.jpg

..Then I resized, cropped, framed and polished it..

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1041168313.gif

BTW: I think you need a better cam or better lighting to get rid of the 'greenies' Changing the lighting is the cheaper route http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Mr Gervaise (If i spelled it right), quite nice work http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif
Actually i was drunk and did the best i could for lighting, and i just got that digitical cam for xmas, still learning how it works.

However forum on spaceempires.org where I post allows for slighly larger images so I can get away with such details.

Should check it out there some time, alot of Se roleplay, kinda slowing down though, we need people to help revive it, its admins (I being one of them) are alot friendlier to its Users, we dont push people around... and its based on the the earliest days of SE where im proud to say I was the first actual empire to post a web site lol

Hi Dave,
Would you mind if I used my avatar as a pic on the side of one of my ships in a future shipset?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

*wanders into the thread on a mission*

Hey dave, i need a new avatar and your the guy to see round these parts (why am i talking to a westener???)

I'd like the image C:\Program Files\Shrapnel Games\Malfador Machinations\Space Empires IV Gold\Pictures\Systems\StarForming4.bmp in one of your special frames with a rank symbol on it in the bottom left hand corner. It looks more like a dead star than the actual deadstar image.

Of course you don't have to dave, but i'd appreciate it if you did

[Role Play Mode On]
High Regent Deadstar demands a new avatar, please follow your orders artist, they may be your Last!

Nice begging RD. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

David, I realized that I will be getting promoted in about 46 more Posts. So I was wondering if you could get a head start on updating my rank in the bottom of my avatar. I know you were trying to get away from doing the rank on the avatars. But you did say something about doing it for special requests right? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Just so you know I will be a Lieutenant Colonel once I am promoted.
Thanks in advance! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Hey David, my reworked avatar looks GREEEEAAAAAATTTTTTTT (cue Tony the Tiger from the Frosties advert!!)

you missed out the dripping blood from the fangs and the horde of nubile young blart kneeling at my feet but other than that, it is kendal mint cake

PS an actor here in England called Ricky Gervais stars as a character called David Brent in a humourous show called "The Office".. you may get tarred with this brush if you are not careful

PPS isnt the "Gervais" pronounced "Gervay" or is that just the poncy French pronounciation?

Ok, green with envy and having no artistic talent whatsoever, I humbly request an avatar from the master.

"Slick" comes from a book called Han Solo and the Lost Legacy and is a nickname that Han Solo picked up a long time ago. Think you could make one with his likeness?

Slick.
