Iron Avatarist Suggestion Thread

[Sneak]

OK, this is...

IRON AVATARIST
The best place for bored avatar artists to look.

Rules: People may post their avatar requests here, whether they actually want to use them as avatars or not. All avatar makers that wish to will try to make the request as well as they possibly can, within a day of the request. After the deadline is up or there are no more avatars within the works, anyone (even the avatarists) can vote on which they think is the best.

Anyone want to start us up with a request?

EDIT: Since we're getting so many requests, I'll turn this into a suggestion thread. A different thread can be for voting and actually posting the avatars.

[Colt]

[Jibar]

The more animals the better in my book.
Though they won't all fit eventually.

[Chris the Pontifex]

we are desperately in need of a referee / official assignment making person.

[Sneak]

I suggest we do them in order. That means the first competition will be...dun dun dun...

Gordon Freeman!

[fetfet]

Gordon Freeman!

Who?

[Lykan]

Who?

He's the main character from half life

[Tomb_Raven]

ok this is my entry for Gordon,... are updates allowed?

Raven

EDIT: 200*200 size

[Tomb_Raven]

Also i suggest a larger immage size say 175 or 200*200 *must be square but so that any detail is easier to see or just so that the image is easier to see

[fesfesfes]

Chain shirt
Elven cloak
+1 flaming keen mercifull rapier
+1 reflecting heavy steel shield

Notable features:Very wounded

[Sneak]

Since we're getting so many requests, I'll turn this into a suggestion thread. A different thread can be for voting and actually posting the avatars. The avatar artists can choose one to do. Although I think this time we'll just do Freeman, seeing as TombRaven already made him.

[Lykan]

Naes

Cloak

Notable Features: None

Race: Human

Class: Rouge 16

[TinSoldier]

I think having a separate showcase thread is a cool idea.

I have an idea for the showcase threads though. Make a separate thread for each project and title it like this:

Iron Avatarist Showcase -- Gordon Freeman Avatar

That makes sense to me if people are competing on one drawing at a time.

[androgial]

ok heres a suggetion for an iron avatarist contest

in oots style
using flash

a male human
shifting to a hatchling silver dragon
back to human
shifting to very young dragon
back to human
to young stage dragon

unnammed as of now
as im working out the details for a new type of character classes and this is one of them

[Wukei]

I think people should make their requests in the Avatar Request Thread and suggestions of something a bit more general in this thread.

A la Yoda.

[Sneak]

Yeah, that's kind of thing works much better for this. We don't want to be overflooding with random requests, post those in the normal thread.

[Jibar]

I shall say this now;
This thread and the idea that created this thread is the work of a lot of a few people who had too much time and were very bored.

[Wukei]

Would you like to make this a private vote or open vote policy?

I could take the votes (being a neutral party, since I don't make avatars myself) in and count them and list people 1st to whatever place. If that's the way you'd like to do it.

Just a suggestion.

[PhoeKun]

So it's true what they say: the best things in life are inspired by Iron Chef.

I still want to see Testament in avatar-ish form, and this seems like the perfect venue for such a request.

So if/when you guys get to this, have at it!

That's a good idea—this means we can have more than one contest at a time. So, we're doing Gordon Freeman and Testament.

Just a suggestion.

I guess I need to explain why:

If someone is outvoted by several votes (should this thing get popular enough to have up to 50 or more votes) they might get upset. This way you would not know whether you were outvoted by one or one hundred.

[Sneak]

Hmmm, yeah, that's probably a good idea.

But if you had all of them PMed to you...that wouldn't be fun for you now, would it?

[Wukei]

No, it's fine, I'd mark it down on a sheet on my computer and delete the post, that way I could get into my inbox.

Don't worry, I've got a system. I do the same thing with character sheets PMed to me now so I don't by accident hit "clear inbox"

[bluish_wolf]

Since you did Testament, do Bridget, too.

[Wukei]

Might I make a suggestion?

(If I'm not allowed suggestions if I become the poll officer, I'd understand...)

My favourite show ever is Gensomaden Saiyuki. Kougaji is my favourite villain ever, too. (And I know the guy who played him, Vic Mignogna. He also played Brolli in DBGT), but I couldn't find a good picture of Kougaji in full.

So, Hakkai.


On another related note: suggestions should have a picture offered so that the avatar artists who don't know your character you ask for may know what they look like.

[tonberryking]

Ha, you asked for it. I suggest/dare/challenge for a Tonberry King icon. :P
