Make me an avatar contest (in Contests)


Aco July 2 2005 2:27 AM EDT

As the title says, duh. I'll only give away prizes if I think that the avatar made is really awesome and is MADE by the submitter (so don't you go copy paste from some random site).

Remember that the avatar shall be used here on carnage blender, so if you're planning on making a moving .gif, get it in the right format (gifs won't resize)

Prizes: (don't laugh, please)
A Steel Familiar lvl 5,320
A Lesser Ice Familiar lvl 70
1,793 Slayer Bolts
A Katana [74x30] (+17

Depending on the coolness of the avatar, I'll give away higher items. If it's a draw in utter coolness, all winners get a prize (but not more then 4)

Good luck and make me a nice avatar!

you looking for anything in particular?

And is this for your user/account pic or a character pic?

Aco July 2 2005 5:25 AM EDT

oh yes: for my account picture AND for my character pic, I'm giving prizes in both these catagories.

Well, it doesn't have to be anything particular, altough guys with big swords and guns always does the trick, as well as mythological/fantasy creatures with lots of violence and carnage and stuff

aco....i seriously doubt you are going to get anything remotely good-looking. you know how good our photoshop skills are

=D

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v176/Joes1902/cbavatar.jpg Cloud... He has a big sword. If you like it without a border I can take that away, or change the background color..

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 2:23 PM EDT

P.S. that is for character picture.

You drew the entire picture SM?

AdminShade July 2 2005 3:06 PM EDT

probably not...

Special J July 2 2005 3:10 PM EDT

Ahh, so reading is not a big issue on CB these days.

OP says made by the poster.

"....I'll only give away prizes if I think that the avatar made is really awesome and is MADE by the submitter...."

AdminShade July 2 2005 3:16 PM EDT

oxtetor also submitted a pic he didn't make himself.

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 3:20 PM EDT

Well I arranged it and photoshopped it, judging from what someone else commented about photoshop, I assumed Photoshopping was allowed.

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 3:24 PM EDT

"so don't you go copy paste from some random site"

I did not go copy/paste from some random site. I found an image of Cloud, resized it in Photoshop, cut out the stuff that was originally around Cloud, adjusted his colors, duplicated him three times to have the fading effect, added my own background, and added the border.

He never said it had to be handdrawn, and for the most part I made all of that.

Special J July 2 2005 4:01 PM EDT

I am not talking about your's Sir, just the one that had text slapped on it and posted w/o the original copyright notice on the image any longer.

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 4:03 PM EDT

I know mrwuss, sorry if I gave that impression. I'm talking to Shade.

AdminShade July 2 2005 4:20 PM EDT

i only recognised the Cloud figure and usually people copy paste him :) sorry no ill meanings meant.

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 4:48 PM EDT

no problem.

Figured out how to actually post the picture of it here... So here it is.

Aco July 2 2005 6:34 PM EDT

So Far SM takes the lead on the user page avatar, but I'm a bit afraid it'll look tiny in the forums, and those white letters aren't really cool eh? :) (and half naked ogre men aren't my thing truly ;) ). Oh, and the whole pic? if you've only photoshopped in the letters, I think you can do better then that

Oxtetor: yes, photoshopping is allowed, as long as you do the photoshopping yourself. BTW: that Cloud looks a little too ordinairy (and a bit undetailed, altough I know it's hard to get a detailed pic with the limits and all)

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 6:37 PM EDT

I thought it was simplistic but if that's not what you're looking for I'll try again.

SaintMichael July 2 2005 6:37 PM EDT

what do you want done to it, exactally?

Aco July 2 2005 6:53 PM EDT

PM-ed with SM, he got a good hint of what to do now

I'll hint you out as well oxtetor, if you contact me

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 2 2005 7:02 PM EDT

Ooh I didn't see that last message but here I made another one although it's probably different from what your hint would be...

NBA Fan July 3 2005 12:57 AM EDT

whoops sorry about that. I'll fix it tomorrow.

NBA Fan July 3 2005 1:08 AM EDT

Wow, I suck with HTML stuff and images. Oh well, I'll use this avatar as my own :p

Aco July 3 2005 7:33 AM EDT

oxtetor: that avatar looks kinda dark and mysterious :o I hope you did the lighting yourself and stuff, because that avatar is worthy a prize indeed




PS: contest will end when I have suffucient entrees are just pick one already because it takes too long? :P

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 3 2005 8:38 AM EDT

Did the lighting thanks! That's what I was proud of =P

Aco July 3 2005 9:40 AM EDT

Ox [StephenMelinda Gates Fund] July 3 2005 9:44 AM EDT

Dante? it's Sephiroth..

Unless you are talking about something else..

Aco July 3 2005 12:23 PM EDT

There's my picture, if you want the "Aco' different just tell me and I think i'll be able to change it, lol, it came that color by accident :p

Aco July 3 2005 7:42 PM EDT

oooooooh that avatar really looks nice as well :D true, the colour is a bit strange compared to the rest of the pic, but I like the font. Make the colour more........ dark (to blend in with the rest of the pic eh?)

SaintMichael July 5 2005 12:22 PM EDT
