He's known, but somewhat obscure.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monolith Posted February 12, 2003 Report Share Posted February 12, 2003 Originally posted by Captain Photon Arggh, I think the link is broken, can't get it too work. :( It is not the link. It just the fact that the site is temporarily down. It will probably be back up shortly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a hard choice. You are about 2,000 ahead of me then. I only steal pics from RPG sites that I can use for my player's characters and villains. I do not have too many comic book characters in the collect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent X Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 Originally posted by Edsel Yeah it's rough. I don't usually post that often and it took me quite a while to get beyond incompent, right now I'm just trying to find anything I can offer an opinion on so I can make it up to skilled. It just doesn't feel right to use Dredd as an avatar and not be rated as at least skilled. Heh! Gives me a chance to compete with you old-timers.

Mutant for Hire Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 I of course used my superb drawing skills to create my avatar. None of this cheap plagarism here. (and showed why I stick to writing instead of drawing, though someday I dream of being able to do more than stick figures...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterVimes Posted February 13, 2003 Report Share Posted February 13, 2003 For those of you with an Anime bent, below is a website with so 50x50 video game sprite just begging to be used as Avatars: Tada! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Mhoram Posted February 14, 2003 Report Share Posted February 14, 2003 Originally posted by Captain Photon I have a question guys..........where do I get myself an Avatar as cool as those I've seen on the board? Find yourself a nice artist friend who can do stuff for you..... ;-) I do have to brag for my friend, he finally got published- in two gaming books (Dragon Lore and Necromantic Lore). Go Blaine. But of course the link above had some nice stuff, for those who never spent the points on contact: artist friend. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My friend doesn't do computer art for the most part. So mine is a section taken from an watercolour (I think...I'm not an artist) she did for me years ago...scanned it in and cut out the bit I wanted. The really cool thing is that she is also a gamer, and so can usually be talked into doing posterboard minis for our characters. With any luck she'll get some work out of HERO sometime in the future...I finally browbeat her into sending in her portfolio. She's done work for several game companies in the past (Iron Crown, Chaosium, AEG, and others) but never HERO, her favourite game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DocMan Posted February 19, 2003 Report Share Posted February 19, 2003 I just got lucky that one of the online comics I regularly read was looking for "volunteers" to be Bandits in a Xena paraody strip. So, I became a comic strip character. After that, it was easy to create my avatar. Actually, my first avatar was kinda crude. The artist's boyfriend also has his own strip, and didn't like seeing his girfriend's art looking so crude. So he took my clip of her art and facied it up and smoothed it out. I've been using this avatar for a while on different boards. I had to compress it for this board. It's normally something like 100 x100.
