Third, an Updated pic for Suicide Junkie with an 'ALL NEW' SpecOps Insigna.. Let me know if y'all like it!

Yo! TerranC,.. I'm at a loss of how to interpret your current avatar pic, is the diamond shape thing on the top half of your pic a ship?

President Elect Shang, in an attempt to calm your spirit and chase away the long arms of insanity. I have created a unique Avatar pic that I call 'The birth of Sanctuary' The Ank is both a talisman to ward off evil and a symbol of Royalty and Peace. I hope you like it and will adopt it as your new Avatar pic.

Matryx, not only is your Avatar pic very nice, you can take pride in knowing it is your own creation.

Cheers!

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

David, thank you soo very much. The Fazrah are my favorite race, and this is why : I was playing my first SEIV game and my wife asked me who I was killing "this time". I opened up the diplomacy screen and and showed her the races I had met (the Phong, Drushocka, and Nultoh, as I recall). She said something like "What a bunch of ugly aliens !", to which I replied, "Well, you haven't seen what I look like yet !!" http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I see you used the galaxy symbol. Have you tried making it white / silver on a black background ? The contrast would be better. Light green on black also works quite well.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Oops, I need to post again after uptading my profile for the new avatar to kick in.

Anyway... I see you used green, yellow and blue for my image... those are the colors of my country's flag. Nice touch !

Nice avatars. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Pretty soon everyone will have David Gervais avatar! No doubt the first wave of some diabolical plan to take over the world starting with the Shrapnel forum. Reminds me of that movie with John Candy and Lorne Greene about the secret Canadian plan to take over Hollywood. Hmm David Gervais is Canadian. Coincidence!!?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

David, I like the avatar a lot, but as I think about it can you change the ankh to the sign for psychology? It looks like this Ψ. If the symbol did not come out right than here is a link to a page with the symbol:
http://psychology.berkeley.edu/

It is the symbol between the words Berkley and Psychology in the heading.
