Lots of people running around with newbie avatars, how the hell can you establish your amazing Posting Brand™ with no avatar? Well you're in luck!

If you have a Stupid Newbie Avatar, post in this thread.

People will draw you something of their choosing, they can use your username as a basis, or maybe they just watched the 1993 smash NBC hit South Beach and will make you something based on that. It's up to the artist.

I set that picture as your new avatar using these buttons they gave me for some reason. Normal avatar rules apply: "Must be smaller than 180x180 pixels and no larger than 150kB. Only GIF, PNG, and JPG images are allowed. Images should be "work-safe"." Creators can get real fancy if they want, MSPaint or notebook doodle are fine too. Make it creative...or don't, I'm not your mom.

We'll go for a bit or until I get distracted by Loop Hero or until steam runs out.

These have been great. Amazing job everyone who has put something up. I saved a few not used so far for future things.

Spinz you are a fantastic artist. Loden Taylor, Jeff should put you on the payroll when people buy an account they can buy an avatar you make. Always brilliant when you show up to these threads.



This is loving great.


I think I'm caught up. Don't be afraid newbies!

Fantastic contributions while I was away for a sec. Nice job. I think I'm caught up on everyone with one assigned.

DGP Space Lion still needs something creative.

Yes please! It's very important for me to build my own unique brand that is not a picture of someone getting punched.

War Wizard posted:

What if some of us never had a stupid newbie av because we were clever enough to minimally fill out the title field? :(

Still need submissions for these fine folks.

You know War Wizard, they took that ability away from signing up. I remember putting "sleepy" or something random in that field so I wouldn't be cursed with the Stupid Newbie. Radium got rid of that sometime after 2007.

Since you're being awesome and giving out all these free avatars I threw together a slightly altered version of yours. It's a bit more vivid and has fewer artifacts. Obviously there's no pressure to use it, just wanted to offer it as an option.



Hell yeah! Maybe it even looks good in dark mode and I dont have to cower from the darkness anymore

I'd love an avatar



Everyone else is caught up, these will be out last four victims customers for the thread.

I'll give all you creative people some time to get them sorted and we can sail off into the avatar sunset later today!

If you didn't get a chance to get in before the buzzer, no worries, I'm sure I'll be back around at some point with more free stuff.

Alright, I threw a few bonus people after the timer closed, but now:

:siren: We are officially closed for Newbies :siren: I'll be back someday if you want to try your luck again. Maybe not newbies next time? Who knows. If anyone has any cool ideas for giveaways + art type things, please drop by my inbox. I always love giving poo poo away for art and effort.

MUCH LOVE to all the artists giving their time and art for people. I appreciate the hell out of you. You make this place better. Thank you to everyone who drew something, everyone who volunteered, everyone who just lurked and voted or something. Good rear end forum we got here.

If I hosed up anything in the panel with an avatar, PM me and I can fix it. Sometimes it's scary in there and I miss a tag or gently caress up a gang tag.

I'll leave this thread open another hour or so if anyone wants to drop some love to our artists.
