Gandalph suddenly appears and claims avatar 101 as his own, then, with a puff of blue smoke, is gone again.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

I'd like to claim 379. Thanks again for the great work!

Slick.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

I claim (Line 13x23 in each line=299) The white dragon head.
Is it 299??

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The numbers showed up for me when I passed my mouse over each pic.

Yepp. that's it. I'm using Phoenix. When Using EI I can see my avatar being indeed 299!

David E. Gervais,

You say your still taking request? I hope I'm not too late, I just picked this long horn skull thing because I'm from texas and it was one of the only ones I liked. If possible could you see what you could do with these images, Pirate Preview .

They are from a shipset I'm making. There are 6 in there they are in BMP format and will need to be resized(I'm not to confident in my photo editing skills, a recent Alpha Centauri custom faction fiasco has dashed my confidence. And I'd just put a picture up but I'm not entirely sure how to do that, how do you do that, I'm guessing you upload the pic in that special thread and then click this little image UBB code button right http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/confused.gif )

If you want to read the insparation for the set go here, My ship set thread

If you do decide to take this request, the image I want the most is the "Bloody Sobbing Rodger"(the pirate flag thats crying red), you don't have to do the ships, there just there to look cool.

I like mine so much I want to share it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ,
not that reserving them is bad. I'm just different, (or has anyone noticed)

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Repost:just so you know why this thread has been reactivated..

Ok, would anyone care to help me and have some fun at the same time?

First, I want to separate the 'reserved' avatars (that I did specifically for individual people)and place them all at the beginning (top) of the file. All the avatars are numbered so if you see your avatar and want it 'reserved' (place it on a protected list and therefore not available for 'adoption') just let me know the number and I will include it in my next update.

I don't plane on making any new avatars (except by request) but I really would like to get my emporium in some kind of order.

Did I mention having fun while you helped me? here's the fun part, hidden within all those avatars is 1 (one) all new never before seen avatar. If you can find it and tell me what or who it is, your avatar will be placed in position #1 of the emporium.

Just follow the link in my sig!

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Edit: The following avatars have been reserved.. #461(Primitive), #096(Perrin), #316(director Tsaarx), #246(Pablo), #102(Taz-in-space), #002(Suicide Junkie), #101(Gandalph), #379(Slick), #299(Ruatha), #003(Mephisto), #321(Motlee), #377&420(Ragnarok),..

Yes, both if possible, I may alternate between the two.

Very nice work, David! What can you do with 'Three Hatted Dragon' (as in wearing three hats at once, jack of all trades)?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

I think I found the secret avatar. It's number 578. But it is located next to my old avatar number 377. Under 578 hides the hidden treasure. Correct? Just a guess.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

#578 is a typo, it should be 378!!!.. and the mystery avatar is in plain view, not hidden under anything!

David, I think the mystery avatar is #048, the one that looks like a bearded king with a gold crown. (I spent a LONG time looking, and through a slow process of elimination, I found that this one doesn't seem to appear anywhere else.)

He is a man of very high 'calibur' and has been written about 'a lot', he even 'had a gal' and a queen!

Thank you, David! Yes, please reserve my current avatar (#070).

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Acording to "The histories of kings in Brittan", there is a reference to an 'Arutha Pendragon' and this is whom many believe is the basis of the King Arthur legend. 'Caliburn' is the name taken from "La morte d'Arthur" and is also referenced in a book called "In search of Arthur's Brittan" Excalibur is a modern day interpretation of those early legends. (probably some writer thought it was a stroke of genius to combine the word Extract and Caliburn to form Excalibur!)
