Week 25-(June 15-21) xkcd avatar week

[Ichneumon]

Nerds and geeks gather around to make this playground a place of Romance, Sarcasm, Math and Language, as xkcd week is coming,


Week 25 (June 15-21): XKCD week

What's xkcd? It's a world-famous webcomic drawn by mr Randall Munroe (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randall_Munroe) and hosted at xkcd.com (http://xkcd.com) and during week 25 we are going to honour his webcomic by posting with avatars drawn in the stick figure-style of his comic.

You can post here to discuss it and show of your new avatars and ask for people to draw them for you.

It would be nice if everybody could wait till the actual week before using them though.

(Also, please be aware of Steampunk week in week 27)

[Nameless]

Isn't this a little early? :smalltongue:

[Dogmantra]

Plenty of time to prepare, Nameless, we'll need it, of course, the xkcd stick figure is actually quite hard to draw.

If anyone I've done an avatar for feels completely incapable of drawing an xkcd version of their avatar, I could give it a shot. (And yes, Fred, I do understand if you want to do your actual fighter avvie... *sob*)

I am probably going to use this as my avatar, unless someone skilled in the art of xkcd art can do better:

[Ichneumon]

This will be my avatar:

Isn't this a little early? :smalltongue:

I think 2 and a bit weeks would be just enough for everybody to hear of it, request an avatar and make one.

[Keris]

Well, I've got my avatar done. Now to make finish that OotS style one so I can swap properly...

[Pyrian]

Too easy:

:smallcool:

[mercurymaline]

How does one draw a stick figure of poison gas?

[Gourtox]

I'm working on mine right now.

[BisectedBrioche]

How does one draw a stick figure of poison gas?

Draw a swirl?

[VampireRot]

This was easy. :smalltongue:

http://i591.photobucket.com/albums/ss354/VampireRot/XKCDVampireRot-1.png

A basic stick figure? Rot is insulted.

[mercurymaline]

Feh, none of my ideas are looking good on paper...er, gif.

[Ichneumon]

Drawing good stick figures turns out to be more difficult than it looks.

[mercurymaline]

Well, swirly-gassy-sticky things look...weird.

[MethosH]

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/0903/hazare19891/XKCD_LAW.png
here is my XKCD avatar =D

[BisectedBrioche]

Hmm, I'm not too good at this;

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9042/xkcdavatar.gif

[Szilard]

I'm making one right now, and it will be awesome.

[Recaiden]

You can't tell, but the cat has a hole in it. I'll fix that soon.

[Szilard]

http://i227.photobucket.com/albums/dd233/SzilardG/xkcdavatar.png
Yes.

[Gourtox]

Here's my avvie. Might make the lines thicker or make it more complicated later, but for now this will do.

http://i383.photobucket.com/albums/oo272/Gourtox_comic/xkcdavatar-2.png

EDIT: Forgot the spikes

[Trizap]

http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk25/Trizap/xkcdtrizap-1.png

xkcd version avvy also done.

[Recaiden]

Fixed:

And I tried another version:

http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e381/CrimsonAngelChris/g3811.png

Before you use the avvie you're supposed to wait for the week to start or really close to it starting. Nice Avvies by the Way.

[CrimsonAngel]

Oops, it's may.

[MethosH]

Ok... Guys... You need to understand that xkcd is not about LOLCats o.O
No "I HAZ AXE" or similar O.o
XKCD is "a webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math, and language".

[Recaiden]

And humor.
http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm316/RockShade/xkcdCleon2.png

[Ninja Chocobo]

Well, I'm sorted.
http://i202.photobucket.com/albums/aa252/NinjaChocobo/Avatars/xNCd.png

[Ashen Lilies]

Now that's just cheating. :smalltongue:

[Ninja Chocobo]

Now that's just cheating. :smalltongue:

It's hardly my fault the theme discriminates against non-humans.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

I have an idea or three for this. Yes, it doesn't involve colours or freaky bits or whatnot.... I could actually makes these on my own.

[Nameless]

Well, here's mine:

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x203/tomshaer/IMG-21.jpg

This is the big version so that you can see all the amazing detail. :smalltongue:
As you can see, I went for the "oldschool" style. :smalltongue:

[Tamburlaine]

Hey, this sounds quite interesting. I don't normally do this kind of thing, but it puts my copious free time to good use.
http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb150/tamburlainethegreat/gitpavatarxkcdised.jpg
Ta-da.

[Lupy]

I love XKCD! I can't wait for the 15th now.

I've got an avvy in the works, I made one myself and am now waiting for Nevitan to get back to me.

[Dogmantra]

I love XKCD!
You can't love it that much:

How do I write "xkcd"? There's nothing in Strunk and White about this.

For those of us pedantic enough to want a rule, here it is: The preferred form is "xkcd", all lower-case. In formal contexts where a lowercase word shouldn't start a sentence, "XKCD" is an okay alternative. "Xkcd" is frowned upon.
No, I'm not pointlessly pedantic, why do you ask?

[Lupy]

Look, I know about the whole "xkcd" thing. It just bothers me so I ignore it. >.>

[Keris]

No, I'm not pointlessly pedantic, why do you ask?

Pedantry always has a point! And I'll point out that I drew attention to the correct case in the previous thread. Some people just don't want to make the effort to be correct. :smallsigh:

[Dogmantra]

Well duh! I meant I wasn't pointlessly pedantic because of that.

Obviously.
:smallwink:

[RTGoodman]

Threw mine together here. I think it looks okay, but I couldn't really think of anything to distinguish Krugg (my half-orc avatar) from a normal human in xkcd form. Maybe add a fanged mouth? Eh, I dunno.

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd40/rtg0922/XKCDAvatar.png

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Try making an axe on his back or, if all else fails, draw the fangs in. Completely without a mouth.

I for one intend to make Fullbladder his green self even in xkcd-form.

[DamnedIrishman]

It's hardly my fault the theme discriminates against non-humans.

:frown:

Too true. Would any freelance avateur care to think of an xkcd version of my current avatar?

[Dirk Kris]

Same - I am at your mercy!

[banjo1985]

Make that a third! There's no way I'll be able to one for myself as my knowledge of XKCD is non-existent. :smalltongue:

[RTGoodman]

Make that a third! There's no way I'll be able to one for myself as my knowledge of XKCD is non-existent. :smalltongue:

Irishman and Dirk, I don't know if I can handle your avatars, but banjo I think I might be able to do. Do you want the current guitar shape (from your Evil version) or the original banjo?

[Gourtox]

Same - I am at your mercy!

I shal attempt this, just don't expect much.

[Nevitan]

Well, I made myself an xkcd version of Joel, wasn't really sure how to handle the hair though..

http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n365/b_nebb/xkcdJoel.png

[Lupy]

Okay, here's the current draft.

I will shrink him before making him my avvy.

Ooh, this is in need of occurring!

[Evil DM Mark3]

Here is my current attempt.
http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e3/regshoe/xkcd-1.jpg

[Gawaeyn]

Hmm. Nothing to xkcd-ify yet... So let's try something like... this:

http://img32.imageshack.us/img32/7139/xkcd3compressed.png

[TheCountAlucard]

Can we get an Alucardatar up in here? :smallsmile:

I love xkcd. :smallbiggrin:

[Nameless]

Can we get an Alucardatar up in here? :smallsmile:

I love xkcd. :smallbiggrin:

Oldschool style or the new style?

[Fredthefighter]

I just made my own... in MS Paint. :smallbiggrin:
http://i43.tinypic.com/330fm05.png

[TheCountAlucard]

Stick figure'd be nice, but if you want to make one old-school, I probably wouldn't mind. :smalltongue:

[Nameless]

Moo.

Or

http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x203/tomshaer/countxkcd-1.png

[SoD]

Anyone want to make an xkcdSoDatar? Guy SoD, not current SoD, for those who remember him please.

[Quincunx]

Freebies! Take one if you want one.

[DamnedIrishman]

Pretty please an xkcd panda?

[banjo1985]

Irishman and Dirk, I don't know if I can handle your avatars, but banjo I think I might be able to do. Do you want the current guitar shape (from your Evil version) or the original banjo?

Original Banjo would be just peachy thanks. :smallbiggrin:

[RTGoodman]

Original Banjo would be just peachy thanks. :smallbiggrin:

Ah, well, in that case, I'm done then. I'll PM it to you here in just a few minutes. Updated my own, and I think it works better now.

http://i221.photobucket.com/albums/dd40/rtg0922/XKCDAvatar2.png

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

So, I've made them, uploaded them, etc. I tried the colour on one, but now I'm not so sure. Now I need the forum's advice on which (if any) to use on xkcd week:

This one, but without the color.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Alright, cool.

@V: Good point, but any sort of non-perfectly circular drawing would require drawing the circle by hand, and I can't draw a circle that connects to itself.

[RTGoodman]

Yeah, that was the one I was going to suggest, too. The only suggestion I might make would be to change the head shape a little - xkcd characters tend not to have perfect circles for heads like OotS characters do. But it's fine as is, I think, if you don't want to change it.

[Gourtox]

All right Dirk, I've made three different verisons. You can use witchever you want and tell me if you want changes

But....they have colour in.

[Verruckt]

Hmm... I want to keep going with my current theme, but I have mad love for xkcd, is it possible for someone to do an xkcd style space marine? Or if not that then a stick figure with a bolter/crozius/chainsword/other space marine type weapon?

[Neko Toast]

If someone could xkcd-ify me, I will SteamPunk-ify them in the near future.

ooh ooh me next please, just a stick figure with space marine shoulder pads and a bolter please. I can offer you nothing but cookies and gratitude.

[happyturtle]

Verruckt, do you have a reference picture?

Slayer, would it be a xkcd of your current avvy?

I'm off to bed now, but I'll play with requests tomorrow. I've never been able to do avatars before, so this is very much fun for me. :smallsmile:

[Neko Toast]

Yes, my current avatar is cool.

What avatar would you want me to SteamPunk-ify? I've already got to make mine and Dirk's, but I can easily make more.

[Adeen]

Screw Marvel, Black Hat is MY hero. 'nuff said.

Sure thing, here are a couple choices:
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w22/Jerisalem/1213473505386.jpg
For this one it'd just be the hands, the shoulders and the helmet that aren't stick figured.
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w22/Jerisalem/Bangels.jpg
or the guy on the left here, just the gun and the shoulder pads.

[dagaarn]

I was thinking of getting a new avatar anyways...
Fayteeeeeeeeee...?

EDIT:
Happy I think your lines need to be a tad thicker...
Also; anyone wanna xkcd-ify my current avatar?

[The Bushranger]

Puns are sexy. Machinegun posting is not.

...And I am totally threadjacking. <.<;; *flees*

[Crimmy]

I offer my services to make XKCD avvies.

If you think I'm good enough, please, feel free to ask.
If you don't, see my avvie, and then think about it :smallwink:

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

Amphibians include frogs, salamanders, newts, etc. They are born from eggs with gills, and later metamorphose into land-capable creatures. They have smooth, slippery skin.

Reptiles are born from eggs usually looking very much like their adult versions, cannot breathe under water in any way, have scaly skin, and are usually land-borne.

Several creatures, including, but not exclusive to, sea turtles, sea snakes, marine iguanas, that one lizard that looks like a worm and onyl has two limbs, snapping turtles, and bloody near everything that swims are sometimes mistaken for amphibians.

They are not. Sea turtle mothers lurch onto the beach and lay dozens of eggs in covered sand holes. The babies then emerge from the sand and have to run for the water that is their home for the rest of their lives. They cannot breathe underwater. Because they are reptiles. Sea-dwelling reptiles, but reptiles nonetheless. They are no more amphibians than whales.



Hey, uh, sorry if this sounded condenscending. I'm in a bad mood and I kind of got stuck on rant mode.

[edit] And rant mode means I keep typing even if I'm way behind on the times. :smallredface: *headdesk*

[Fan]

Puns are sexy. Machinegun posting is not.

...And I am totally threadjacking. <.<;; *flees*

That was also a pun, that one was on her name/ nick name, hence the capitlization.
Also, I'm not machine gun posting... I put thought into these!:smalltongue:

[Pyrian]

And I hate to swim.I would not have expected a turtle which hates to swim would be happy. :smallcool:

[Verruckt]

My deepest apologies my resplendent female testudines friend, and again thanks :smallsmile:

Slayer, I'm working on yours now. Probably will be done tomorrow. Is done! Pandaren, I'll do yours after that.

you can keep the body.

Looks nice, though.

Sure thing Fred.
I can do a few more if anyone wants.

[Dogmantra]

If you'd do a Nerdy Half-Orc, that'd be much appreciated, anyone. I don't want to have to resort to the one I made myself. I wouldn't want to inflict that on anyone.

[Nevitan]

This one was a bit more challenging. I didn't have any references for a xkcd Orc...

http://i337.photobucket.com/albums/n365/b_nebb/Xkcdorc.png

That is much better than my own one.

Yay!

Thank You!!

I think I'll go with second one, both are wonderful.

[Crimmy]

Could you please make an xkcd version of the following image please.

Oo, Crimmy, make me one please!


Sure thing!

[Inhuman Bot]

.... This week depresses me.

I can't draw on the computer well enough to even make a stick avatar.:smallsigh:

[Alleine]

Anyone wanna make me an xkcd-ified avvie? You don't have to do the pile of skittles since it might be kinda difficult or stupid looking.

They'd probably look something like this. (http://www.xkcd.com/150/)

[Dispozition]

I shall be making an xkcd avatar for myself...I'm just not sure which of my avatars to xkcd-ise.

[Serpentine]

EDIT:
Serpie, I think I could do yours, or if you want to do it yourself, I'll tell you
you can keep the body.

Looks nice, though.What's wrong with the one I did myself? :smallfrown:

[Dispozition]

And made eeeeeet.

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i119/Dispozition/xkcdcopy.png

That was quite fun...So fun that I'm going to use it before the week, since I'll forget about it if I don't :P

[Quincunx]

Watching all these individual spins on the stick figure emerge is amazing. The early-XKCD styles (Nameless for extreme old-school-ness, Serpentine, Dispozition, rtg0922) are respectful. Straight limbs, curved limbs, curved arms and straight legs, dabs of color--it's all wonderful! I do wish for more insightful text to go along with all the portraiture, but it'll come later.

[Fredthefighter]

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Thecrimsonmage2/Fred-xkcd.png

Now I've got a choice to choose from. :smallbiggrin:
That is quite brilliant there though. :smallbiggrin:

[Crimmy]

What's wrong with the one I did myself? :smallfrown:

Sorry, I said that in an art rush.
As a matter of fact, now that I see it, I don't find a thing wrong.


EDIT: V:

Who says there can't be color in XKCD?

[Ninja Chocobo]

I still say there's far too much colour in these avatars.

[RTGoodman]

I still say there's far too much colour in these avatars.

Eh, xkcd uses color on multiple occasions. The really old-school stuff has a ton of color (like the infamous red spiders), Cory Doctorow always wears a red cape (http://xkcd.com/239/), various ball pits include color, and even newer strips use subtle, light colors for effect. (And occasionally (http://xkcd.com/442/), there's lots of bright, happy colors.)

[Crimmy]

Mauve, here ARE yours.

I couldn't decide on which to give, so I decided to give them all to you.
And I still think there's something off on them.

All of them are 78 width, 120 height.

[Mauve Shirt]

hm. I'm not sure what I think about the dress. Could I see it as a plain stick figure with just the hair and the phaser?

[Evil DM Mark3]

Why is her face exploding?

[Crimmy]

It's not exploding.
It's a fearful/surprise reaction.

Also, Mauvey, is this better?

http://i294.photobucket.com/albums/mm112/Thecrimsonmage2/mauve-xkcd-6.png

Totally. :smallsmile: Thanks!

rtg0922 has graciously designed a few different designs for my avatar, he went out of his way and even translated Fang into the best guess of what a wolf would look like in xkcd.

C. Animals have eyes; I checked.

[Crimmy]

Not about to start flame war, but...

Ninja, do you enjoy going around threads and poking on the "Wrong" things
that avatarists do??

First, you were saying about the colors, now the eyes...
What's next? You have a beef with my lovely crimson hat?

[Mauve Shirt]

Nothing has eyes in xkcd though.
Well actually... at least in Cat Proximity (http://www.xkcd.com/231/) the kitten is pretty detailed compared to the guy.
Of those four I like B best.

[Reinholdt]

Hehehe.
Kitty. :smallbiggrin:

I'm just saying that if you're going to make a theme avatar week in the style of something you should make avatars in the style of said thing. Stick figures, certainly, but colours on characters are very very rare. I checked the archives for the proper manner in which to depict animals in the style (filled out, with eyes) and made my own avatar thus, and I don't see why I shouldn't expect the same from other avatarists.

e: Here's (http://www.xkcd.com/585/) some (http://www.xkcd.com/537/) examples (http://www.xkcd.com/445/) of (http://www.xkcd.com/370/) animals (http://www.xkcd.com/262/) with (http://www.xkcd.com/292/) eyes. (http://www.xkcd.com/115/) I couldn't find any without.

I didn't like this idea since when it was posted, but now it's here I'm determined to have it done right.

I think I'll choose b.

Go for c. Part of the style is the lack of color in almost all characters. All I can think of is the House of Pancakes, the meercat, and the carebearstare, although some of the very early ones were colored.
Animals do have eyes, and are usually more detailed than people. I do not recall ever seeing a person with color. Okay, the cape. But I still think the hat and most avatars should be less colorful.

Do you think I need to smooth out the lines?
Quite a bit.

[OverdrivePrime]

Here's my first attempt. Please critique as you see fit.

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/mwellenstein/Avatars/ODPxkcd.jpg

[Recaiden]

The sword looks too detailed and 3D for a stick figure.

[Quincunx]

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3300/3606608986_619431bdd7_m.jpg

Do you think I need to smooth out the lines?

The full-size original looked great, especially with it being framed in a long rectangle instead of a square, but it looks like you resized it using Paint. You really do need a different resizing program to get Paint-atars to look smooth. I'm still using IrfanView (free!) for resizing, myself, but am open to other suggestions.

[OverdrivePrime]

The one on the left vs the one on the right - what do you think? :smallconfused:

http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/mwellenstein/Avatars/ODPxkcd.jpg vs http://i177.photobucket.com/albums/w219/mwellenstein/Avatars/ODPxkcdV2.jpg

If someone could do an XKCD version of:
http://i363.photobucket.com/albums/oo79/Ikaeru/NewFayte.png
That would be cool ^,,^

[Crimmy]

I'll do it, but be warned, the only things that will be in there will be the wings, the thingie-over-your-eyes... [sorry, mexican, I'm still learning my english...]
and maybe that thing that looks like a knife/razor-like thingie.

[mercurymaline]

I made this, but it doesn't look so hot avatar-sized. Oh well.

Neither does mine.
Is it sad that I'm too lazy to re-draw a stick figure?

[happyturtle]

Yes, my current avatar is cool.

What avatar would you want me to SteamPunk-ify? I've already got to make mine and Dirk's, but I can easily make more.

http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/av-cabbage-1.png

Could make her holding a gun instead of a cabbage?

And if possible, can you put her in a steampunkified wheelchair? If that's too tricky, then ignore.

Your avvy here:
http://i431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/xkcd/xkcd-slayer.png

If you'd like me to change it to you wielding the sword so it doesn't make you look like you've been stabbed through the middle, I can easily do that too.

[Crimmy]

Fayte, here's your XKCD...
I'm not entirely happy with the wings, so if you want me to change anything at all, be sure to tell me.

[Ninja Chocobo]

I've already got mine up :smallwink:.

Why? Why did you pick the one with colour and without eyes, i.e. the least faithful to the style?

[Mauve Shirt]

Because he thinks it looks the best of the 4 anyway?

[Dogmantra]

I suppose I might as well put up my xkcd-atar.

Thanks again, Nevitan!

[Lady Tialait]

Crimmy, I would be honored and delighted if you would construct an xkcd avatar for me. Take whatever liberties you wish; you do a great job.

[Crimmy]

Jeebus Fist!

Maybe I'll just add the hair and the hand glow.
If I can manage to make it as awesome as it originally looks.

I'll make it my project for tomorrow. I'll make sure I save neurotically so I don't have to start over or anything... stupid Count D avatar...

And if you could have it wielding the sword, that would be awesome.

[Mordokai]

I'm still holding back...

Of course, it may have something to do with the fact I don't even have a proper avatar :smalltongue: :smallbiggrin:

This is not me asking for one.

[Rawhide]

Because colour is not unheard of, I quite like the scant use of colour and the colour use is well within the style. Plus, I was waiting for this version.

[Recaiden]

This is not me asking for one.

Awww.:smallfrown:

Don't get me wrong, I like xkcd. But a)I don't know which of my many avatars to xkcdfy and b)what's more important, I'm not sure how well any of them would transfer to the particular style.

(I had to redo my original xkcd-atar. After working on Rawhide's and a few others, my original just looked terrible to me. Probably gonna edit this one since I copied the head from one I'd already made and it doesn't look right without hair, but I'm too lazy to get on it yet. :smalltongue:)

EDIT: Heh, unless I just get tired of it and fix it right now.

Yes!

I love the new comic! ... Once I turned off all the electronics in my house... The silence gave me a headache.

[happyturtle]

I've transparented all the avvies I made, but I'm far too lazy to PM everyone and tell them.

If I made you an xkcdatar, you can find both original and transparent versions here. (http://s431.photobucket.com/albums/qq40/happyturtle-avs/xkcd/) The transparent versions have 'tpt' in the filename, and also are missing the gray border around the square.

All images are still 120 x 120.

I would bet Randall Monroe's probably heard of it, at least. I mean, OotS is a relatively famous gamer/geek comic, right? I'm SURE he probably at least saw the Gygax memorial strip.

If someone wanted, they could probably e-mail him or something and point it out. Maybe someone who's actually a member of the forums/community there, though.
