<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That one is pretty good, but the whole sphinx thing has kind of got me creped out. Sphinx, sphincter. Know what I mean? It may that I lost my mind on the Let it Snow, Let it Snow thread. Great thread if you haven’t read it latly you should.

The Fazrah are the green scrunchy-faced race in the standard game. I assume he'd like the race pic with the corporal insignia. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Um, I think David is just trying to win us all over. I will resist, I will not give in to the dark Dave. I will always serve Rutha! Well, maybe if he can come up with something better than this silly sphinx. What ya think? Any ideas?

Re: OT: The House of 1001+ Avatars
 

Thanks David http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
Excellent work.
Nice interpretation of the slomo bullet.
Could you also give a shot at some sort of net, (thinking kind of energy based net/mesh) in case I like it better http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

(be nice to move away from the film interpretation of my name when really it's a play on the transformation meaning of the word Matrix) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

something along the lines of [This] but perhaps glowing, and not round.
Perhaps slightly deformed as if something is caught.
kinda just throwing ideas here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[edit - was *showing off new avatar* - but when I changed to my attempt it updates all my Posts]

might have a bash myself to give you more of an idea what I had in mind.

A Spec ops insignia would be cool, but I am not sure what would be good. I did some surfing to see if I could find anything. Problem is most special forces don't have special ranks, they use the regular ranks assigned to the service that they are a part of. They do have unit emblems and whatnot, but those are usually pretty ornate. Not sure if you could use something like that.

Some common themes are daggers, lightening bolts, parachutes, arrows and birds wings.

A few examples:

Maybe these will give you some inspiration. Keep up the good work.

Here we go.
This is my 5 minute effort.
I'm actually quite pleased with it, having managed to get a pseudo-organic energy type network thing going here http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif
I'm sure David can do better though, but this is sort of what I had in mind.

Since we are talking about changes to avatars - Captain Kwok has just become the first Juprup Captain in Starfleet...

LOL!

David, that pic is still pretty bright for Kosh.
