Make me an avatar contest (in Contests)

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?

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

Cloud... He has a big sword.
If you like it without a border I can take that away, or change the background color..
P.S. that is for character picture.

Ahh, so reading is not a big issue on CB these days.
OP says made by the poster.

oxtetor also submitted a pic he didn't make himself.
Well I arranged it and photoshopped it, judging from what someone else commented about photoshop, I assumed Photoshopping was allowed.
"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.

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

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

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

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

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

good enough for me!
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?)
Ok, lol, i'm done, that took me an hour to do. hope you like it.
