David, if you feel like playing around with
these and
these, there's a lot of material for avatars. The first set needs to be resized to 80x80 (some are not perfect squares, but 100x??? or ???x100, so need resizing so 80 is max dimension) and the second set needs to be resized from 80x100 to 64x80.
These avatars are all from the graphics of the old Age of Wonders game by Triumph Studios and just this morning I got permission from Lennart Sas, one of their top guys, to use them in avatar galleries on forums. I specifically asked if it was okay to use them here at Shrapnel and he said yes, so they're good to go if Shrapnel wants them into an official gallery.
EDIT: Damn, might as well post the lot here:
This first batch is the five different AI levels from the game, in order: Squire, Knight, Lord, King and Emperor
The next batch contains the icons for different types of magic in the game, in the following order: Life, Air, Water, Death, Earth, Fire
