Request an OotS Style Avatar

[Gengy]

I found the easiest way to resize an image in AI is exactly as Ego Slayer suggested. Make a new 117x117 file. Copy the image (or layers) and resize accordingly.

If someone has the "real" or "better" way of doing this, please share. I know I've looked all over for it.

[Snowelf]

That will probably work. I am actually using Paint.net (thanks to Tin) since I can't afford AI, but it probably works about the same way. I do like how the lines look very smooth.

Thanks for the help. :)

Heh, I didn't know that!

In Paint.Net, go to Image->Resize and there will be a checkbox called "Maintain Aspect Ratio". Unchecking this will allow you to set your sizes exactly but may squash or stretch an image. Other image programs are similar.

A better idea is to crop the image (that is, select a perfect square area), crop to selection, then resize it.

Another solution is that it sounds like your image is taller than it is wide. Resize the height to 117 and the width may be less than 117 but it should still look okay.

Sorry to noise up the thread. We can start a new one...

[Paperclip]

Anyone in here use Gimp?
'Cause I have that, and I might want to try making something like this.

BTW, still looking for a warforged monk.
and maybe a party portrait of my party. The Grippli seen on page 15, a warforged monk, and a generic elf wizard.

If anybody's feeling inspired or generous, I'd love a stickatar based on the following minature

[Nostrabel]

This request is for Sneak, as he made my last avatar...
Due to my reputation as a cookie goddess, I wanted to ask you if you could make some changes to the avatar you made for me. The same vampire, but without the staff, with a sky blue apron (with flowers and all that cute stuff) wearing a pair of those oven gloves and holding a cookie like Varsuuvius is holding the doily in this strip "the gateway to the ultimate cosmic power"

I thought about this yesterday and almost cried laughing... Thanks in advance.

[Ishukira]

Ambrogino, let me have a hand at that minature. I'm about half-way done right now, should be up in two days.

Avatar thus far:

[Ambrogino]

Ishukira - that's looking fantastic so far, thanks very much for your efforts.

Hello, just reposting a revised request from several weeks ago.

Gender: Male

Race: Human

Age: Any, preferably older

Hair: Light Brown, Gray, or Bald/Balding

Notable Traits: Light Brown or Gray Goatee (depends on age)

Clothing: Average Attire: short sleeved shirt, pants, sleeveless vest, or whatever you deem appropriate

Thanks to anyone who'd be willing to work on this.

[fryer1]

Well, I got bored. So I decided to play with some shading.

Here's Desk Monkey.

Here's Desk Monkey with ominous(?) lighting.



http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b4...eskMonkeyS.gif

Tell me whatcha think. Hope that's the right mood. Personally, I like the second one, but I still think some of the lighting is off. And I know the left leg is a bit on the weird side, but I'm otherwise happy with this.

Wow. That is absolutley amazing, both are great. But i agree that the second one does look a bit better. Thanks Gengy.

[Ishukira]

Here you go, Ambrogino.




One's full size and the other is 117x117.

I never bothered to get a photobucket, so you'll have to right-click and save as (They're hosted on one of my geocities sites right now, and I can't guaruntee that they won't be deleted in the next few months) so you can host them elsewhere.

But for now, the addresses for them are:

http://www.geocities.com/mkpurdue007...big_avatar.jpg
http://www.geocities.com/mkpurdue007...all_avatar.jpg

Also, I believe that desk monkey would be more intimidating and mafia-style were he to be fully covered in a transparent grey, and then put a big circular light behind him (As if he were in a desk in a secluded warehouse, etc). That's always been my thought on ominous office-situations. With big fans too.

[Vampiric]

Hey can someone do me a:

Race: Half-Elf Vampire

Gender: Male

Age: ancient, but looks late-20's

Hair: white blonde, swept back to shoulder length

Notable Traits: teeth. And purple eyes.

Clothing: the robes from the front of the 'Magician' books(?)

Equipment: None. Has a ball of blue lightening around one fist.

If anyone could do that, I would be very grateful.

[Thea]

I'd like to request a flamingly red headed worrior, female, human. Wears plate mail, wielding a bastard sword. Please?

[Ambrogino]

That's truly fantatstic Ishukira. Thank you very much.

[DarkLightDragon]

Re-posting mine:

I would also like to request an avatar:

Female Silver Dragon (Dragon, NOT Half-Dragon. Thought I'd clarify)

Sapphire-blue eyes

Reference Image

I'd like the avatar to be in that pose but with the legs tweaked for them to look good. A toothy grin would be nice, too.

Thanks in advance!

[sigurd]

If there is someone kind enough to make me an avatar I'd love that.


My thought would be some sort of Viking dude (the stereotypical horned helmet) in the self depreciating order of the stick sort of style.

Sigurd the Volsung is the hero that kills Fafnir the dragon in the Norse tale of the Nibelung. I make no such pretense to greatness but It would be fun to have a little viking to call my own.

Could be a viking with helmet sword glasses and book.
Could be triumphant viking with his foot on the head of a dead dragon.

Could be....

I'd be tickled with any effort put into it and would appreciate any results.

Hey Gengy, how is it going with the Pulp Fiction Avatar I requested?
I thought I'd post again because I hadn't heard from you and last time that happened you lost your PM's. And since the new forum and all...

I like the "cruddy, un-finished, barely even shaded" version. I think it's going to be cool.

-Battleburn

[Ishukira]

DarkLightDragon, dragons are my specialty.

I shall make an attempt.

No promises though.

[Gengy]

Still on it, Battleburn. Sadly, the school semester is coming to a close, and I've got proffesors making ride checks all up on my butt, so there's not a whole lot of time here and there. O managed to pull of Desk Monkey in under an hour or so of boredom, mixed with inspiration.

But yeah, I'm still on it.

[Indurain]

Is there anyone who would feel up to tackling an updated Indurain avatar. Not that anything's changed, but I'm a restless fellow and feel like a new avatar.

((If you don't know Indurain, he's the nude Emperor of the town.))

PM me if you're interested, please.

[Madmal]

Hello I would like to request an avatar of myself, I am a werefox teen with golden and black robes covered in blood, I would like to sit on a chair with an opened book looking as evil as posible in one hand and petting an imp in with the other. I am female and evil, in case you hadn't guessed yet.

[FuziSlipers]

--snow

Heyyyyy! I think it's small now! Sorry, JUST now noticed. Question, though... it seems a little blurry to me. It might just be my eyes being allergic to morning, though. Is there a way to make it a tad sharper?

Besides that, it's gorgeous and I think you're phenomenal!!!!!

[SniriS]

It could be very nice of someone to make me the following avatar:

Race: Dwarf
Skin color: Suntanned
Class: Paladin
Equipment: A nice large great sword
Pose: Holding his sword upwords, as if he is going to battle
Hair: Ginger, with a long beard
Othr stuff: a tatto under his left eye, And a horse behind him.

Thanks ahead!!!

[Penguinizer]

Due to me being unable to make my own i would like to request an avatar to be made.

It should be a penguin if possible, because of my forum name.

possibly with short brown hair and a sword on its back.

Thanks in advance.

[Simius]

How's this?
Tell me if you want anything changed

[Ishukira]

Darklightdragon, hope you like it:



I'd have a smaller version (117x117), but it didn't look quite right resized. You'd be better off to copy just the head and paste that into a new, avatar sized image.

And it'd look better, but I remembered as I was starting that this is an OOTS forum, so it doesn't have to be reallistic. Sadly, my less-detailed dragons look much worse, so sorry if it's less than you expected.

[Sander_Bloodraven]

Hey i got new idea!

Race: Elf
Sex: Male

Wears:

-White hooded robe
-black big angel wings in his back
-has a large katana in hand (red steel/and runes glowing white in it)
-red lanter hanging from chain in other hand
-Hakus mask from naruto except only a tear paint under left eye
-"sharingan" eyes glows red under the mask

Pose:
-jumps away from red flames ("towards you")

PS: dont have to be OOTS style :P
