Avatars Avatars Avatars! Yowza yowza!
« on: February 09, 2010, 04:53:39 am »

Sorry for the annoying title.

Anyway, I've been tinkering with my art today, and changed my avatar a few times, and I've noticed that drawing something specifically for an avatar is actually quite different to drawing a full-scale picter.

Thus, I propose that the various engravers here on the forum engage in an avatar drawing contest!

If some people show interest I'll come up with some logistics, but if this happens, the winner will be decided by a vote.

And to get the ball rollin' an avatar by me.

This one is of a character of mine. Essentially Rorsarch on steroids. He's called "The Truth" because he doesn't have a name.

Good stuff so far but lets get more people (Dwarves?) on this here bandwagon! Yeeeehaw!

Also I might not draw anymore, just a heads up. I will however, in my adamantine like awesomeness, officiate, whether I draw or not.

If anyone wants to use any of the three avatars that I posted, you're welcome to. Just host it yourself; my Photobucket's running out of bandwidth.

There's five unclaimed ninjas where I got my avatar. Five fingers to every shadow hand.

In case you don't already know, I usually make most of my avatars using MSPaint, here are a few:

I did a few OoTs-style avatars this weekend. Boredom, mostly.

And here's the one I'm using on their forums, in case you spot it.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

I didn't mean chalupas the food, I was making a reference to The Cloak. Anywho, I like the wizardy one Aki.

Nice, Akigagak. I looked at the images before I read the text, and I right away thought, "Hey, that looks like Order of the Stick."

Thanks, they're only my.. let's see... in order, eighth, seventh, third, and second attempts, so I sacen't got much practice.

But how about we turn this into a general avatar thread? Where people can post avatars they've made, and less talented people can make requests?
