Select an Avatar, Signature and Personal Text for Me!
« on: May 27, 2010, 11:17:08 pm »

So, yeah. I have returned after my week long mute only to find I have no avatar, personal text, signature or home. And I need YOU, Bay12Games, to help me find the one that fits me perfectly.

I had a few avatars planned out, but under the current circumstances I don't think they'd be the best idea.

I'd back and I'm ready to kick ass and chew gum. And I'm all outta gum.

(I've been busy trolling the Eragon fanbase, sorry for those who sent me a message and didn't get an email in reply.)

Get some imagination, seriously. Don't start that avatar copying stuff again.

By not having a home, I assume you got your girlfriend ditched.

Still though, welcome back.

Edit: To be useful here, how about your origional avatar? Unless you want something different. Or better yet, combine those two that you picked.

As for signatures, theres plenty of signature worthy stuff around the forums.

Do cite these passages, because I have missed them in my over 20+ readings of the books

Well there's your problem, right there. Of course, I guess you'd expect that from an Eragon forumite.

Of course, considering the fact it's basically every chapter, I'm surprised he managed to miss it.

I could whip up a fractal in a moment if you want an original avatar. Here are some old examples (haven't updated that list in like forever)

Those are pretty nice, actually. What program do you use to pop those out?

I use Apophysis. If you want to try, be sure to grab the beta build (they're usualy so stable that they could be normal releases anyway. They don't even bother with normal releases anymore) and maybe get some tutorials from the Deviantart group to get acquainted. You'll also want the palette editor to make your own color schemes (Though the mentioned deviantart group has some nice bundles for that too)

Pathos. You don't choose your avatar, it chooses you. Some people can go through thousands of Avatars before finding the one that is theirs. Just find something that SPEAKS to you, and you'll soon find the one.

assuming your girlfriend rooted herself in your house and you had to flee with your laptop, apartments would be a good start.

But...get your own maybe would be an amazing suggestion
