Avatar Creations 2018 - 2021

Pffff....this is a hard one.

The only thing I can come up with is mirroring the original because you can not find the same painting style.

How is this for an idea?



Rough setup, that riverbank has to be fixed etc...but as a concept.

Let me know...

Peace

I'm working parallel on your avatar but I've got nothing really worth posting yet so I'll catch up tomorrow and will have yours done.....a man has got to sleep.

Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

This oilpaint art stuff is harder than any other image editting...



I hope we are moving in the right direction.

Peace

And the same but with the reflection a little closer to the waterfront and without the canvas texture...

Well...I tried nearly everthing to set your org. pic up with a gasmask but it's just too small. I even looked up your Audioflood videos and did a couple of screengrabs to see how that whould work out but it was way to grainy...cool music though

I just started with designing a large avatar based on your org. avatar...



Got any elements that you would like to add?

Peace

Hey that's pretty cool, I like the lightning with the sticks! Let me see if I can dig anything up less grainy.. I lost a lot of my old pics but I'll see what I can find

a reply to: Wookiep

That would really help!!

If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them...

Peace

Man, I REALLY wish I had my original copy of my avatar. It was a 4x6 scanned back in the day. I reduced it's size from a much bigger and clearer JPG back when ATS changed from the old style site. Not sure if there's anything that can be done with the size unless you can incorporate the smaller pic into a bigger background pic or something.

Here's a few other related pics tho. You don't have to use them, just sticking with the theme. Oddly, my old bass player used to wear a gask mask as a gimmick during shows lol. No sense in using it unless you can get some use out of it, but here's the pic of him -



Here's another shot of me on drums, still not very clear, and very red. We played a lot of dark and red colored places it seems lol.



Here's the old band logo. I put this on Tripod so freaking long ago. Back when everything was super low resolution. Hah!




Other than that tho, I'm no creative genius when it comes to stuff like this. It's the main reason why I never got a tattoo!

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Hey, stand by! I just found a bunch of old pics

Ok, here we go!!!

I found the original scanned copy! Among with some others.

a reply to: Wookiep

Those are great!!

I'll get busy working on some stuff...would still like the gasmask theme or should I be focussing on just a cool avatar?

Peace

a reply to: operation mindcrime

That is very nice!!!!

a reply to: operation mindcrime

Both would be fantastic! Actually, a cool new avatar would be better, but if you get bored sometime, maybe see about adding one with a gas mask. Lol, I can't even believe I just found all those pics, Never even saw that second pic I just posted till just now haha.

a reply to: operation mindcrime
After scrolling up and done several times, I think I like the one with the reflection further away.
I had no idea this kind if image would be harder to work with....and I very much appreciate your time and effort for me!!!!!!


Then I looked at them again, and I liked the one with the reflection closer.....

the OP to show how it looks "on"

It is harder to find images that complement the original artwork. I found the watersurface really went well with the original artwork...

Peace

Double post...
