BTS : Avatar Creations

reply to post by Agarta


That debate one....that is awesome. The concept, primarily.

The "fight club" concept...gives me an idea.

Gotta grill the chicken. Then ill play around with it later. oh yea...and an avi for Jude. I was going to take a swing at it.....

Good job Argarta and Marty thanks for accepting the Spiegle challenge, you have both done very well.

I like both creations so much, I will be using both!

No winners as of yet, it's a dead tie!

Keep up the good work ATS artists

Stars for all

I am not sure what people want or like for their avatars. So if people are interested in something for a avy let us know.





ETA: I enjoy fantasy art. Such as these and others. I'll prolly be posting mostly that kind of artwork (Dragons Included if I can ) unless someone has a request. Enjoy!

Here's a couple I made from screenshots of the creepy mask guy from Laura Branigan's Self Control video.

The should be good for anybody with a "man behind the mask" type username.

OK, first try:



all these are actual images of actual objects (pictures).

Accented edges:



and rendered as a drawing:

well....i am facing a little challenge and am needing to practice my ability to combine actual raw photo extracts. A coworker is a huge fan of Elvis. and we are reopening a business that Elvis used in the past, which he is excited about. So I am wanting to get a pic of him, a historic photo of our business, and Elvis all together in one place for a nice framed Christmas present. But only if i can make it look flawless. We shall see!

Ahem, are those wolf avvys free for the taking, as long as Jude doesn't want em?

Every avatar I've had has been wolf related. Those are tempting to steal!

ETA: If you make the Eagle a Raven, OMG, that would be awesome! Raven, Wolf, Moon, yep, that's the ticket!

Thanks for the Avatar, that's AWESOME.

To add my two cents:

Shouldn't the Writer's Forum be the Short Story Forum? I like the idea, instead of a text link in my sig, (which I always update to the latest contest), I could have a banner.

The Debate Forum banner is nice too, and I'm thinking about linking it in. Gotta check the size, and see if I can fit both in there. I'd kinda like to have one of each, that would fit into sig space. Hmmm. The ideas!

Anyhoo, is that the next contest? Making a Sig banner for the different forums? I would definitely host those two in my sig.


What's the update? Any ideas yet?

The writers forum one was not made for the short stories forum actually, although it could basically say the same thing but with "Short Story" forum in place of "Writers" forum. It was made for the "Collaborative Writing" forum which, like the "Debate" forum, is locked except to members with the status like you and I. They are both readable for anyone, but only members with the status can post in them. I just began there in making signatures to promote specific forums if people would like.

The next contest, I believe will be holiday/winter avatars/backgrounds but it has yet to be announced. After that it is up to Just Chris as the winner of the banner contest. It is a good idea and the Forum mods may see them and come in to request something special to promote their forum, but for now I was just playing with the hope that it might spark an interest and thus giving us more work and exposure.

If you take the first one in the list, and JUST make the eagle a raven, that would be awesome! Maybe a bit further into the moon, for a bit more contrast, but the rest, I am drawn to. Very Nice!

I collect wolf avatars, but this one combines a bunch of unique elements: The forest, the glowing eyes, the full moon. All I need is a raven.

Thanks!

So can I use the debate banner for now?

A new request:

Can you make a ATS Writing Contest banner? I'll host that, and code the link to point to the latest contest every month. I can code out my wazoo, the flashy text and cool designs, meh, not so much.

masqua will be proud to see it.

I have no particular ideas in mind, a quill an inkwell, perhaps, or a keyboard with a screen, something that denotes creative writing skills. It's a personal favor Agarta.

ETA: To match the Debate forum banner, it should say Short Story Forum /Writing Contest/ or /Monthly Contest/ or /Current Contest/. I trust your judgment. The text separated like on the debate banner. Oh, and can you darken the Debate Forum text a bit? Just to stand it out?

Like you, I'm just drawing exposure. Links back and forth are imminent.

Sure use away lol it was just an example until someone asked for something special.

As for the "writers contest" banner, sure no problem I will put something together and we can tweek it to what looks best.
