I like the comic wolf avvy, but yeah, a realistic one would be great too!

One funny, one serious.

yup. I have to run out....but i can do something I bet.

Ill remake the avatar creations in the right size. I have that image saved at a larger size...it just loses too much when I reduce it. Since i had to rasterize the font to do the additional artwork on it, so it isn't a vector.

Its nice to have someone else come up with some ideas. LOL...been slow around here.

I like this one a lot! He's still got some watermark on his face and tail, though.

I'll throw this one out there just as another option (cool vs. silly), assuming someone can get the head color to match the body.



EDIT: updated pic with better color match.

Yeah, I'm liking that version as well. Shouldn't be too hard to match the colors!

It shouldn't, really. I just have never really played around much with colors in GIMP other than hue adjustments. I need to learn how to do some of that though.

Hello Artists, first time customer here!

I don't have an exact picture in my mind of what I want, all I have is possible ideas.

I would like a cool toned signature image with purples, lilacs and silvers. I would like it to include a tsunami or tidal wave but also to reflect that saying "Be the water', but preferably not Japanese style. I like the idea of the water appearing nurturing and destructive at the same time and being Mother Nature-y.

I would love it it be shimmery if possible and moving.

I don't think I am ready to give up my avi just yet. It was made for me by a Christian friend of mine on another site when I said I was a Pantheist. To me it represents acceptance and I get a warm smile everytime I see it but I would love to borrow an Xmas one when they are up.

Thank you for any replies. This is so exciting!

When will Wrabbit choose an AV? I'm dying to know what he picks now =\

Here's an idea for when you are broadcasting... Would need to create a transparent ani for the sign, but that would be a simple one.

I think it will.....while I want a wolf behind the mic, and not a hound dog, that perspective is awesome, and with a little image flip and line tracing I'll bet we can swap the hound for a wolf.

Thanks cody!

ETA: Think it will be easier to trim the mic or the head???

edit on 11/24/13 by Druid42 because: added ETA.

My bad

I think trimming the mic would be easier
but finding a wolf to fit is proving a challenge...................this could be fun

This might be a start point just to give us an idea of where you want to go


It came from this


Am I on the right track ?

I got carried away. Dang the things too big to use.

ETA: Even trimmed smaller, still too big.




ET2: Even smaller.....Still 522kb.

Good Evening Everyone

Long time no see, hope everyone is doing fine here at the pro's avatar creations.

I heard lilac and water, so even though it's not a tsunami, I'd like to offer this one up for TSU322 (Or anyone who will take it.)

reply to post by cody599


You're definitely on the right track Cody, I love those colours!

Thank you!

reply to post by Druid42


I love the movement in the water. Nice and fierce and crashing.

Thank you too!

Will I be able to use both sigs, one for each mood?

One more try...

That avi is beautiful! I love the colours in it. It looks really peaceful and majical.

reply to post by Tsu322


Thanks

I like pictures that shimmer and glitter. Just wait til you see my Christmas avatars later in December.

reply to post by Rainbowresidue


I can't wait for the Xmas avis and short stories! Xmas will be worth it just for the fun on ATS!
