Geoschmo I get the feeling that the reason you haven't adopted my new Avatar for you is because it wasn't animated like your old one! well now you can have your cake and eat it too! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif (Plus your new icon can look up and down as well!)

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">The books I was refering to are the 'Phule's' series by Robert Asprin. I'm also fond of his Myth books.

The ultimate 'Thanks' would be to adopt one of the new Avatar pics! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

This is cool. You didn't have to animate it, but it looks neat. I was just waiting for you to finalize the spec ops logo. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Deadstar, what is the source for the pic of your current avatar? The more info I get the better I can taylor-make your new avatar. If you have any ideas feel free to throw them at me! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Dave, (If I may call you Dave), That behind the the blue background, yes, it was meant litterally. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Although in Front of the background is better. Also, don't mean to be picky here, but could you take out the combadge out of http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1039363638.gif and replace it with the diamond on my current avatar?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

TerranC, the combadge/insigna on your original avatar is too elongated to fit well within the design of the avatar pic I posted earlier. (it should fit within the bubble in the top right of the image, I tried both a horizontal and virtical Version and the combadge had to be shrunk way too much to fit!).. I found what I think is a good/new look that includes your combadge and keeps the feel of my old design...

1039390721.gif

http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newup...1039390721.gif

So what do you think? Will this new design be acceptable to you?

What would a red spot light look like ??

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Don't worry, I won't include your's or any of the SpecOps Avatars if I zip up the files, Only the ones that I created from scratch. Many of the Avatars I did were just cleaning up existing ones, but there are plenty of original stuff too! So there shouldn't be any lack of avatars for sharing.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you right click on his original avatar and save pic you will see that the original image is quite large, it looses a lot in the rescalling. for the red Version I did, I had to crop first then resize and even that didn't have a miraculous result. It's two soldiers sitting on the ground facing each other. A strange pic to say the least, but I'm not judging, variety can be good!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I was wondering what it was, too.

I thought that the picture was of an archaeological dig or something. It looks like there's a dirt background, with a few bones partly exposed.

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Question: I haven't had the time to scan all the threads in the SE:IV forums of late, been too busy creating avatars! So I was wondering if the new avatars were getting any kind of reactions out there? I noticed one post about someone liking one of the new avatars, and I posted a reply saying if they wanted a new avatar to drop by here, but so far no show! Ah well, I guess I'll just have to content myself with having fun, and downsize my delusiond of fame! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

wait I have an idea,.. I'll post a new thread..

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I've seen it mentioned in a couple other threads now. And they all seemed to like the new avatars. Keep up the good work Dave.
