finally..an avatar

[lotek]

It's currently in progress, I'm not sure wether to include the faces of the real Weasel and Baboon or not...
Waiting for your suggestions
oh and btw the resize for avatars from imageshack doesn't fit...

Well here goes nothing

Might be worth having a look at GIMP - It's a free not-Photoshop.

I don't use it myself, but I keep hearing good things.

[GamePlayer]

If you need to re-size the picture, I can help. Just give the word and I'll do it.

[DuneFishUK]

Was going to edit to add something along those lines. I can be a resize whore also...

lotek - you could give him a shirt

KJA brings his own jokes.

[Freakzilla]

Maybe I should get a shirt that says:

FRANK HERBERT

HATES YOU

[TheDukester]

Or maybe:

YOU NEVER EVEN MET FRANK HERBERT

[Freakzilla]

How's that Hugo Award look on your mantle?

Oh... yeah...

[TheDukester]

Oh, we're rolling now!

How about:

I'VE WON AS MANY HUGOS AS YOU HAVE

[Freakzilla]

Oh, we're rolling now!

How about:

I'VE WON AS MANY HUGOS AS YOU HAVE

That's gooooooood.

[Ampoliros]

The back could say:

"Frank Herbert used the Attitude of the Knife"
"KJA uses the Attitude of the Sponge"

[Freakzilla]

The back could say:

"Frank Herbert taught me the Attitude of the Knife"
"KJA taught me the Attitude of the Sponge"

[Hunchback Jack]

Oh, we're rolling now!

How about:

I'VE WON AS MANY HUGOS AS YOU HAVE

That's not bad at all.

yep that logo is perfect, I sort of went for the baboon handwriting feel(as it goes along with trying to draw letters with the mousepad of your laptop), but I will try to use that to see what it looks like.

And then when I'll realize it's gonna take me ages, where someone more proficient would do that eyes closed, I'll come back screaming for help (help appreciated btw)

I just donwloaded the Gimp(I know the basics from photo filtre studio)so i'ill give it a go tomorrow.

ha ha


Front
"DUNE"
back
"IT'S A BABOON'S JOB NOW"

(now the story with the monkeys and the typewriters comes true , maybe I'll put one too somewhere)

[SandChigger]

Oh, we're rolling now!

How about:

I'VE WON AS MANY HUGOS AS YOU HAVE

EXCELLENT!!!

[lotek]

I tried the Gimp but I'm more used to photofiltre so I'll just work with the free trial version and try and come up with something decent
I just wondered wether once reduced to avatar size it would still be recognizable or if I should go for less elements in the picture

[SandChigger]

Until Freak or Omph or Ragabash resets the "upload avatar" setting, you're not going to be able to upload whatever you come up with unless you put it on Photobucket or some similar service and link to it.

Just saying.

[lotek]

yep I use image shack(it has a useful tool that allows upload with the right mouse button without having to go through the tedious procedures on their site)

OMG! These are brilliant! Bravo, you two!

[Freakzilla]

IF YOU THINK EVERYONE HATES YOU...

You might not be just paranoid.

[lotek]

All right enough now

[GamePlayer]

Brilliant! Now you just need to build an appropriate "reply" animation

[lotek]

Brilliant! Now you just need to build an appropriate "reply" animation

any ideas?

"because I'm a hack" would spring to mind

[Omphalos]

"Will work for mindless adulation"

[lotek]

Well the good thing about this avatar is that I can change the text anytime
It s not difficult just a little tedious as you have to make a complete pic for each part of the text...

unless there is a quicker way to insert that text in a fixed image, but that I don't know how to do
