:siren: Requests are closed, but art submissions are open. Click the top of page 4, pick a user name, and draw them something wild that they might love...or hate. It's entirely up to you. Make their day, or make them live with your ill-shaped triangle created with crayons. You'll get that shape down someday. :siren:


We've done this before and here we are again. How can you be cool without a 180x180 image next to your words?

If you have a Stupid Newbie Avatar or your avatar is blank, post in this thread. Other posters will draw you something of their choosing.

Up to the Artists what they want to provide. In the past people have used usernames as a starting point for the avatar idea, sometimes the Newbie will put a few words about things they think are cool in their post, and sometimes someone just draws a frog every time and we become a frog forum. The choice on what to draw is up to the artist.

I then set that picture as your new avatar for free because I've not pressed my admin buttons enough lately and I'm told regular use of buttons keeps them in tip top shape.

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 be as simple as MSPaint or opening the notebook next to your desk, doodling something and taking a picture with your 1996 webcam, or impressive effort with whatever program people use to draw things. Photoshop? Gimp? I have no idea. Make it creative and fun. I reserve the right to pick ones I like more or the thread thinks is cooler than just first dibs. I also reserve the right to give you your own creation if it's so bad everyone is amazed.

Sure!

If someone has some 20 year old red text or you have an avatar from 2001 when the requirements were 25x25 and want to upgrade or something, feel free to post and ask for something.

There were other folks who asked for an avatar for one reason or another in old threads., I have no problem tossing around some new stuff.

I like the idea of a random avatar, though I'll say if it could be anything, old school wizards are always cool or at least fun even in MS-Paint or whatever

Oh poo poo if it's a Grey Cat avi, how can you go wrong? Loved your mspaint tips thread and always like seeing you in the Trump lols thread as well!

As far as an idea for one, some of my favorite games seem to involve Traumatized Space Weirdos (Metroid, Dead Space, Doom) and I usually end up picking an avatar with something from one of those game series. A morph ball, the USG Ishimura, Doomguy himself, really anything from them would be amazing (regardless of who makes it).

But if that's too much pickiness I'm fine with basically anything. :wink:

Remember my earrings and art are much better than my posting

New stuff starts towards end of page 3 of the thread

I can't draw right now and I don't know how to shrink things and I'm not sure this is allowed but I think someone might want this if it's allowed maybe?
Who knows
This thread is a neat idea

I should probably get an av, considering how long I've been here.

As far as ideas go I'm a boring nerd who likes aviation and sci fi. I lived in Kenya for 8 years. And I love my dogs.

But I'm also good with a random av.
