In a purely abstract representation of your idea, whipped (hehe) this up (file attached).

Slinky,
That is great! Thanks. as for the little joke there.. I ought to cuff you one.
How do I arrange to use the one Slynky proffered?

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

1) Copy url. Make sure it ends in an image format, .jpg in this case. You do not want any php code.
2) Click on My Home near the top right of the forum.
3) Under Main Configuration, click on the Edit button next to "Personal information, email, password, etc."
4) Towards the bottom, locate the option with the caption "URL to your avatar (48x48 max pixels, may be smaller) (.gif, .jpg, .png accepted)." Select this option. Paste the URL found in step 1 into the box just below the text.
5) Click on Submit button.
6) Show off shiney new avatar.

If you like that one and want to use it, then perhaps David will "do that thing he does so well around the edges" to make it a bit spiffier.

And don't feel obliged to keep it. Something that's "you" might come along any day now. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

You mean like this?..

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

P.S. Nice avatar by the way.

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

Amazing the way that tiny double border (and "upper-lefthand light source") "brings out" an avatar. Nice job!

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

Yes, I really like the spiral B&W icon.

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

I think the light glare in the upper left detracts greatly from this particular image. It disrupts the flow of the swirl. To me, the image looks better with black in that spot instead of white.

As much as I like to disagree with fyron http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif I think this might be one of those rare occasions where we happen to be on common ground... (but if asked I'll deny fyron actually had any influance on this post.) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Double boarder, no spotlight works for me. Let's do it.
Thanks guys.

On a completely separate topic:

David and Fyron in concourance.
Wow, look a pig just flew by my window. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
Hmm, maybe Fyron has even more powers we don't know about.

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

Why not simply rotate the avatar by 180 degrees?

Then you can keep the shiny, and it will be white on white and thus not be distracting.

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

ah Dave, just give him a pizza look with everything on it http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...es/biggrin.gif

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

That reminds me about the one where the Zen Monk visits NYC and goes to a hotdog stand...

Re: Avatar for The Grey One
 

<--- Still ecstatic about what Dave did with my avatar idea

Thanks again DEG!!
