Title: I need a new avatar
Post by: Russell Nash on July 11, 2008, 11:06:55 AM
I need a new avatar.  The lizard is getting a little old.  I'm going to let you bunch of maniacs choose.  Yes, I know that's a dangerous idea.  Whatever you choose, I will use until at least October 1st. 

You can submit suggestions or pictures*.  I'll make up avatars from all of the submissions and put them in a poll.  You guys get to vote and I'll use the winner.

I'll let this thread go for around 10 days or until it just gets too silly and then set up the poll.


* All submissions are subject to forum standards.  That means TAD has to ditch all of the ideas he already has and come up with some new ones.

I think you're only the second one to point out the connection.

See http://www.magazineart.org/ and swipe re-purpose elements cropped from some of the cover art:

Uh... gee, how did that last one get in there? I just read it for the film reviews.
No, really.

Cool.  Where can I get one of these?  I could wear it at work and not have to listen to all the dumb-asses and ass-hats.

But think of the creases it will leave in your suits... and your shoulders.

Okay, I'll throw my suggestion in the ring.  Sorry I don't know how to embed an image in the post, but here (http://bp1.blogger.com/_0ZGo1Z8EkTI/RlHGGEne7JI/AAAAAAAAADw/LScZKKUaOSg/s1600-h/historia-ofre.jpg) is the link to the image.  It just needs a caption that says To The Almighty N_SH.

I still think Hello Kitty with the teddy bear is more appropriate.

Nope.
I figured it out though. Got the image url, trimmed off the end, and got this:

I'm pretty sure this  (http://dk-thompson.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/spiffcombo.jpg) is the one you need.  Because I suspect you have more than one secret identity.

I'm making a collection to photoshop.  I'm stuck between having a poll for category (embarrassing, SF, animals, textures) and then having a final poll of the choices from that category or just having a poll with 8 or so different pics.

I'll take "embarrassing textures" for $2000, Alex.

Whatever.  Give me six shots of Jack and I'll texture-map your carpet. ;D
