That's right 30k. I want a new avatar. Work off of a completely original idea. Something abstract. I dunno I'll leave it up to you to decide, I just need a change. Whose ever I like the most will win.

Dean what exactly is that avatar? It's really cool looking, but it lacks a central personality. Cool work though

It's from a photo I took and cropped and I also messed with the colors and lighting a bit. It was originally a photo of a strange rock or seashell being held in my hand that I found on the beach one time.

edit: for the central personality, maybe I could put your name or a faded sloth in the middle of it lol

What about a super sloth?

However cool the sloth ideas may be it's time to branch in a different direction.

Even though this is not my best at MS PAINT, it's ok. If you want me to spend some more time on another one, I can do that

I know it's weird, but I'm still trying to give you options. Maybe If you tell what colors you like, I could work off of that.

Damn I really like that idea, and if it were just a bit tweaked it's be perfect I just dunno how you'd tweak it.

edit: maybe a bit later I'll take that second one in photoshop and see if I can add something simple to it besides just the 5 but that's my favorite thus far

Damn that avatar with the five I like it, but it seems something is just missing. Although I can't put my finger on it

Here are a few more tweaks

I'd thought I'd give you a few options to choose from, and if you'd still rather it be 200x200 for the change with the bottom pictures, that would be an easy fix.

What if you have a little sloth head peaking over the edge of the 5? Or you take it and add arrows somewhere into it.

Funmonkey, s/he wants to branch off in a different direction of the sloth. Just saying.

I don't think bender wants a sloth in any form in his avatar, but as for the arrow idea, I'll wait till bender says something about doing that or making it FFR related. I wouldn't know how to make it abstract if I do put arrows in there though. Abstract art requires too much creativity that I usually don't have.

I think I did the shading on this better than my other 2 shaded ones, so voici. (french for here it is, similar to voila, there it is) If you want the curves removed or want it a 200x200 picture, again that is an easy fix

This would actualy Blur into the surrounding colour making it look cool :) its kinda absract like you asked... i didnt have alot of freedom with the size... but i'd be happy to attempt to make a siggy to go with it free of charge upon request
I hope you don't mind, but I took that image, made that background color transparent and now I'm bringing it on here as an alternative that I take no credit for, it's still your idea and design, but now this one would blend with the background color of bender's profile or anyone else's profile.

nope i dont mind at all :) its a good idea :) i think i'll try and implement that next time thanx :)

its hard to make good quality transparent images that are GIFs cause of the different background options on sites and profiles. now, if a GIF could have good quality, then that would work perfectly ^_^

ShineyThighz

03-21-2008, 05:18 PM

agreed, gif files are good and all but they get kind of hazy when viewed smaller :S .S omtimes i don't know if it happens for everyone, but i get little black dots appear in some of my gif files, witch is usually why i just try and stick to pure black backgrounds for my gif files :S:S is that werid?

Mezo

03-21-2008, 05:25 PM

its how the GIF file format tries to create gradient transparency with a limited number of colors (max 256 :( ) ... so it will take those beautiful blended color images of jpeg and turn them into distinct choppy color dots. bleh >_< . its good for simple pics and animations though that dont have too much color... and its meant to keep the file sizes down for web viewing.

PNG files work very well for transparent images though :D

I wish I knew how to do PNG graphic animations though :/... i'll have to look it up :)

its hard to make good quality transparent images that arent GIFs cause of the different background options on sites and profiles. now, if a GIF could have good quality, then that would work perfectly ^_^
You seem to be contradicting yourself. Did you mean to say it's hard to make good quality transparent images that are GIFs?

edit: also, I found out a little bit ago from HammyMcSquirrel that the forum pics are still in their original file format even though ffr says they're gifs. When you save it, it saves as the original format. Also, my TAILS letters are proof (They're transparent) because it's png quality, it shows up less smooth when converted to gif.

First off I wanna say, rofl where did you find that? I thought only my friends irl knew about him.

Anddd there are some pretty cool ideas floating around. I still can't tell what there is to add to that 5. That smiley thing is pretty cool, but I dunno.

Uhh I don't want a pad, seeing as padding is retarded. I don't want anything FFR related because this game annoys me like there is no tomorrow. I'd accept something stepmania related, but it wouldn't be as good not coming from a non SM player

XD It was just an idea, oh well.

Better start thinking about something else..

Edit: THIS IS THE MOST ORIGINAL AVATAR EVER, AND NOBODY CAN CREATE A BETTER ONE BECAUSE THIS WAS MY IDEA AND I MADE IT UP. ORIGINAL AVATAR. ORIGINAL. O. RI. GI. NAL.

Jesus, im kidding you guys

Very much so.

Btw this avatar making contest has no specs. It's pretty much up to anyone to come with an original idea, and see which one I happen to like the most. I like a bunch of the ones so far, but I haven't seen that one that just makes me go I MUST HAVE IT yet. Till then I'm just waiting to see what comes next.
