OotS Avatar thread/arts and crafts III

[Lilly]

The old thread got to be too long for people with slow modems, so here's a new one.

But first one request. Could this thread be kept OotS related? OotS style avatars, and fan art based on OotS, but not character sketches and random art from other things.

The last thread lasted for less than a month.

Guide to making Avatars Please check there before you post a question about how to make your own avatars. I'll let the artists post their request requirements and samples.

Please PM me with any updates that you wish to be made to your entry on the index, or to be included.

[Wukei]

Well...that leaves me out of this thread...ciao guys! *waves*

[Lilly]

The other part.

I made a friendly banter version for all the non-OotS related art so that the people who don't do avatars don't feel left out. ;D

[Sneak]

Okay. For samples, I don't have a website or anything, but I do requests for people. I made my own avatar, and the avatars for many others on these boards, though most of those were through PMs.

If you request something from me, these are the requirements/rules.

Anyone can get an avatar. Anyone, unless there is a specific reason for me to not give them one.
If your request is very complicated, I may complete someone else's before yours. However, I will hopefully get yours done very quickly.

Please include the following things in your request. Things with Xs next to them are not required, but would be helpful.
Gender
Equipment
X Any other notable features (scars, tattoos, etc.)
X If their skin is a special color, add that
Hair color
Race
X Class
X Pose you would like your avatar to be in

EDIT: What Wukei said.

[Wukei]

Also, for people that don't know, please PM requests to Sneak, Gorbash, or whoever so that requests don't completely fill up this thread. We like to keep it simple, and also they may not see your request if too many people post after you and they don't catch your post.

(Man, I'm being bossy...sorry...)

[DarkCloud]

I actually like seeing the requests in the thread-

Lilly- just wondering, could you perhaps please put a link to the old thread and the predecessor thread to the old one in the first post- it would be useful for historical purposes?

and maybe put sneak's advice into your first post at the top?

thanks!

-DC.

(PS. By the way, i think it's great how you split the arts and crafts off from this thread!)

[Pop Goes the Weasel]

Help! I have finished my avatar(s), but whenever I try to export them from sodipodi, all I get is a completely transparent png! Please help!

[Peregrine]

Resident Sodipodi help desk and Yet Another Avatar Artist, at your service. Gallery linked in my sig. I'd like to see the posting of free-for-all requests to continue, but since the tide of opinion is against me, please consider me when picking your artist to PM. :) (Wukei, I promise, I'm getting on it tonight!)

Pop Goes, sending a PM your way.

[Brosmike]

Another avatar artist reporting in, and I'll help you with Inkscape, too :)

Just PM me with your avatar's description (please include gender, race, hair style/color, equipment, and pose/magic. If you don't include it, neither will I) and I'll try to get it done within a day and can pretty much guarantee within a week.

Examples are in the website in my sig.

You're free to edit or use them where and when you please, though I'm fine with making small changes after it's done.

[Pop Goes the Weasel]

Alright, I made a few, but they tend to look freakishly small. Any help with that? By the way, Peregrine, you were right.
EDIT: Fixed one, the goblin

[Adghar]

I'm wondering whether I was responsible for either Salsar's dual-wielding worddaggers or Sneak's elite haxor blade with my Lol Archer wielding LOL arrows.

[Sneak]

No, I don't think so, but you should ask SalSar. I remember seeing in some thread a request from him that said that the swords would have the words stabbity death on them, and Peregrine just chose to do it in that style. Mine is kind of a ripoff, but I liked the idea of the Simu-Ninja having blades that had names, like Spam, Simu-Post, 1337, etc., and I couldn't think of any way to show that the swords were named in the avatar besides that way. I also thought of putting the words on top of actual blades, too...

Then King of Durf suggested that I do an "31i73 h4xor" blade, so I did. And I liked it.

And Pop Goes the Banjulhu, those are cool!

[DarkCloud]

Whew. This isn't comprehensive but...

1st- Thanks Lilly for updating ths first post!
(but sadly, here's another question ;))

All this info might be useful to put in the first post.

If any info is wrong- please correct me. I apologize.

Ive only done one request so far!! Keep them coming guys! :)

...but the urge to create is unstoppable so I have more than those, PM me if you'd like one, but if you're going to request a 'tar make sure you stay around here a while you know?, I know I will...

my portfolio= http://photobucket.com/albums/v302/aeronld/

[Lilly]

Wow. :o I would put that in the first post, but it would be redudent to have it twice on the same page. Oh what the heck I'll put it there anyways. I'll update my information on there too. And anyother information that comes up as well.

[Adghar]

I am going to throw my hat into the ring as I now have Illustrator. I'm posting here along with sending a PM to Lilly so everyone here knows and I can validate my request.

Requisites: Don't expect an avatar done soon or correctly interpreted. That's about it.

[pumpkinetics]

Hi all, making my avatar services availiable to all. If you want an avatar for me, standard rules apply, though for no I'm saying 15 post minimum. Too much? okay, only 10.

Some of my more recent examples can be found in this thread (All OPEN. Otherwise, the only other recent one I've done is an evil DM for SuperRed:

CLOSED

Every now and then I may post generic avatars. Feel free to use any avatar with the symbol "OPEN". Specific requests will have the symbol "CLOSED" on them. If I see anyone with a closed avatar who is not authorised to use it, I shall hunt you down and infest your place with drop bears.


I'm serious.

[Annex]

nice, but you just made me have a craving for pizza, and I want revenge..see you in the stabbity death thread.. >:( ;D

Design Requisites- ??

Sadly I don't do requests (long story why, nothing personal), but all avatars I make, except for the one I'm using for my avatar (girl with hat and green coat) are free for use als long als you PM me to let me know which one you'd like to use and store them on your own web space.

[Wukei]

I'd like to state that I'm "collecting artists". I'm looking to get an avatar from each one (that I have on my nice Ootsitar webpage.) Of course, I trade my pictures for your ootsatars. I might PM you, but if you'd like one of my pictures example and can create ootsatars, please PM me. I'm more willing to get pictures done for people that do a service for me as well.

And Gorbash: I'm looking for a way to scan that picture right now. And though the LCD is broken on my scanning computer, I can hook it up to this monitor that I'm working on currently. So, yay! You'll have Gwen soon. (Though it may take a bit on the other...and you still need to give me your third character.)

I do characters in order that they were requested, guys, although I might make an exception if it's something simple (as Veera's was.) Veera and I traded. And that's the reason I have Veeratars when she's retired, so will you people PLEASE stop asking.

Any other retired members: if you request a picture from me, I am more than likely going to request an avatar from you, simply because that may be the ONLY way I'm gonna get it out of you. ;D

Remember all OotSatar artists: I don't care how new you are at the gig, you're still an OotSatar artist, and I want to collect.

And a question: does Rich still do the occasional request? Maybe I can convince him to trade a picture of the OotS cast manga style for a Rich OotSatar?

[Peregrine]

Sent you a PM, Wukei. Wish I'd seen this before doing it, or I wouldn't have copied the style of that previous avatar so closely. :) Still not too late, I guess.

Also, you might want to change the URL in your post; it's ootsitars.html, not ootsitar.html. ;)

[Wukei]

That just proves that you visit it a lot. (Or checked my sig when you couldn't get to it.) ;D

Now everybody else better visit cuz Peregrine made me the cutest avvie to add to my collection!

[Adghar]

If you want to collect me ( ;D) you'll need to tell me what to make first.

[DarkCloud]

Thanks for updating the first post Lilly!

I removed my list since it was beginning to get out of date, what with Shirwill Jack correcting my mislabeling.

Sorry about that Shirwill.

Edit: the test worked- Lilly: a suggestion to make the first post read cleaner- maybe put a "HR" tag before "AVATAR DESIGNERS" and before and after the "RETIRED" subdivisions.

[DarkCloud]

Here's one for Wukei's collection:



it's an interpretation of her 'example' drawing.

[Wukei]

Thank you, dark cloud, for becoming part of my collection!

You're about to be on the top of it. *goes to place DarkCloud's avatar in the ootsitar page*

[DarkCloud]

- I feel honored :D

(Just so you know, I widened the lines around the hair and uploaded a revised image either a minute before you posted or a minute after- I wasn't expecting you or anyone else to respond so fast... but I'm done tweaking now.)

Below is just something to show off. If anyone wants to use it, please ask:

Here's 'beryl'

[Annex]

speaking of showing off...I haven't been able to sleep lately, so this is what I've been spending the early morning hours doing, its about 4:30 am..im sure Ill get a few more in today...

[Sneak]

I like all of the ones in the 1st and 2nd columns the most, but all of them are cool..

[Wukei]

I'd ask the people that made them first, but if anyone wants to use anything in my collection I'd feel more than welcome to allow you to, considering there's no way I'll be able to use them all (though I love them all, I just can't)...ohhh...my board needs some avatars that I can hand out *gathers up Nathan, Grim, and Anubis* I can use these for non-private use, right? *gives them the puppy dog eyes*

Hey, any chance anyone's not busy and can make me a Kimmi? (she's coming to the comic soon.)
