You like? I'm trying to make the place nicer, and nobody else seems to be doing the custom avatar thing! Help me set a fashion! (For once in my life. I mean, after all, I asked JP for these things!)
Anyone else want gradient sigs or custom avatars who is over, say, 45 posts or so? I'm feeling unfulfilled in my online-gamer life right now, so I'm just polishing off my ability-to-make-creative-crap-when-necessary-with-evil-microsoft-programs.

JP, opinions? Now I've burnt off enough time for me to have less ideas... except... maybe NoNeck... with a flag... yeah... skull'n' crossbones.... in the wind!
Help me. Don't let the evil stay-up-late-on-something-trivial monster get me!

Well, there's nothing keeping you from stealing other people's graphics, if they use custom ones, but it's sort of frowned on.
Hey, NoNeckJoe, opinions?

A bit unoriginal, as all the others were, but here's one for Mr. Ivan of the blue-tinged alien! Let's give him a big hand...er... feeler... whatever.

Terr, you are doing an awesome job on the avitars. . . keep up the good work.

Well, most of what I've done is just taking the avatar the person uses of the default set, and try to figure out something to do with it. The inspiration for Neg's was largely due to... TAADAAA!
:borg:
JPs... well, lets just say Sesame street left an impression on me too. :D
I'm afraid I can't do much with a malevolent yellow circle. :p

Actually, I found something.
You can use it when you get to the magic 45.

Terr-- Great job on the avatars. I was wondering if you could figure out something to do with mine? I would be very thankful if you could.
Thanks.

Here's a real quickie. You can't use it until you reach 45 posts or so, since otherwise everyone would use one and bandwidth and decency would go out the window. This one isn't TOO original, I was thinking of doing some fading with the imperial logo (the gear thing), but decided that I could always add it later.

I stole it's yellow background from the AO front page corner yellow button doodads.
And I thought they went more of a:
Yap... yap... yap... yap..yap..yap.yap.yapyapyapyapyap....(chorus)

Good work on coming up with all those custom Avatars Terr. They look great and are really making these boards look better.

Terr--
I gotta hand it to you, man. I think you have found your calling in life (maybe not, but the point is, the avatars are looking awesome!). Just wanted to drop a little line of encouragement for you. One question tho: about how long does it take you to do an avatar like the one you worked out for me?
Thanks again for doing an awesome job.

Thanks Terr!
The avatar looks great.
Thanks again....
GOOD NITE!

Thanks. Well, it depends. I can do it pretty fast because I already have something to work with, in this case, the user's current avatar. If I had to DRAW something from scratch... Nah uh. It would take a lot longer and probably look a bit worse, because I'm not exactly Mr. Draws-like-a-photograph. The Eiffel tower isn't crooked when I draw it, it is horizonal :D
But for most of those, it took me, oh, between thirty minutes and an hour. To simply add that twinkle to the Endor-Trooper's visor, well, maybe ten minutes for the whole thing. It's relatively easy to do because I sold my Immor(t)al (hah hah.) soul and used Microsoft Image Composer, which is a lot less photo-arty than Adobe, and which (MS Image Comp.) I've used longer and actually know how to use. MSIC treats images more in a powerpoint-ish layer manner, where Photoshop uses a less intuitive layer scheme.

Just thought I would let it be known that I changed my avatar. It was suggested to me before that my avatar resembled Negative's.
This one is much more personal for me, and should be original.

Well, guys, I'm working my way down the seniority list, actually. And I don't do these things constantly. But I'll let you know when I get to ya.
