Arts and CraftsThe place to talk about stick figure avatars, graphic design, fan art, or any application of the visual arts and creative writing--or just to show off your latest masterwork!
If you do not wish to request an avatar but still want a custom made one: The Adoption Center is Open!
OotS Avatar Artists: If your status has changed, please PM either Lilly or one of the other Arts and Crafts mods to change the list. Thank you.
To all others: It is considered bad form to use an avatar without asking permission of the artist. Unless, of course, you have it specifically made for you. Please ask before you use any of the avatars in the portfolios of the artists unless it states in their requisites or on their portfolio site that you may use the avatar without asking permission.
If after you've posted your request to the request thread twice and there is no response, please PM one of the active artists below. (Do not repost your request until at least 48 hours after your original request, please.)
If you are PMing a request please do not PM multiple artists. They don't want to waste their time doing a favour for you if you've already got someone else doing the exact same thing.
A slight suggestion: to save loading time to make a post, please make a link to your picture after 3 days to make it easier on dial-up.
This is simply a list of the posters who activley make and have made avatars in OotS style.

<hr> Avatar Designers
Gengy -- Portfolio: http://photobucket.com/albums/b400/w...otS%20Avatars/
Requisites: 50 post minimum (in places OTHER than all Silly Message Board Games), lots of patience (My avatars take time, because they are handled lovingly), and reference picture preffered, but not required. Yes, I animate.
Jannex: Portfolio --http://photobucket.com/albums/f47/tigerdreams/
Requisites: none
Note 1: Any avatar not specifically labelled as available for common use, isn't.
Note 2: My avatar-making is... intermittent. Sometimes I'll be seized by a stick-figure-making fury, and sometimes I won't even open Paint for an extended period of time. If it isn't immediately apparent that I'm in one of my active phases, feel free to PM me and ask.
NEO_Phyte:
Portfolio: http://s100.photobucket.com/albums/m40/NEO-Phyte/
Prerequisites: If its from my portfolio, PM me to get permission. Anything from the Town or Personal subalbum is off-limits, anything from Requests must be cleared with its original user as well as myself. Warhammer 40K avatars can be tweaked to an army scheme of your choice if you provide example shots. GIF conversions on request.
Nyax -- Portfolio: http://www.eric-son.com/avatar/photos.php
Requisites: none, but Avatars can only be done on weekends and may take time. Ask before you use a public avatar out of his portfolio.
Omen
Description: Haven't played D&D for many moons and even then it was 'Basic' D&D so don't know the races and/or monsters.
Requirements: Be as descriptive as possible, limited knowledge of AD&D kinda hinders my accomplishing the desired effect.
potatocubed: Portfolio -- http://tinyurl.com/qtmdg
Requisites: It has to be something that really grabs my interest. Anime characters and nonstandard races are a speciality.
Erisan: Portfolio- gone
He seems to be gone as well
Gorbash Kazdar: Portfolio- http://plaza.ufl.edu/redwolf/avatars.html
SEMIRETIRED -- Does take the occassional request when in the mood, particularly if you have one of his older avatars already.
Indaer -- Portfolio: http://s53.photobucket.com/albums/g49/indaer/
Design Requisites: Active member on forums, use the guidelines for requests. Specially seeking for Psionic requests.
Note: May take a day or two in the making.
Jacklu: Portfolio -- (being updated)
Retired due to Summer.
Guys, if anyone hasn't had a request filled, it'd probably be best to repost it here. I'll tackle the first four requests anybody posts here before I go to bed tonight.
Ooh, I've got one. I'd really like an avatar made of my first DnD character. I've requested an avvy of him int he past but, no luck. I have a reference picture now, but I'm just bad with the OOTS style.

I would love an oozemaster! Here's a reference pic. What I'm basicaly looking for is:
Gender: Male
Skin/hair color: Dark hair, slicked back and his body is covered in a clear gelatinous film...picture Bill Murray's Venkmen from Ghostbusters. Lotsa drippy slime.
Race: human originally
Class: oozemaster
Pose: Oozing forth, perhaps ready to throw an oozy glob, evading a sneak attack from a nasty drow, casting slime wave or flowing out of a hole the ground.
Thanks in advance!

Right... I'm up for a pretty 'open ended' design here. Well, at least in my opinion.
Can someone please make me a modern-day demonslaying 14 year old? Goes by the name of Lucy Furr, she's in one of the stories I'm making. Her general appearance is:
Long, red hair, quite curly.
Wears a trenchcoat- can be any colour- and has a belt filled with ammo packs, grenades, holy water and the like. Wears a tshirt underneath- but that doesn't matter, you can keep the trenchcoat buttoned up if you like.
Wears boots. Trousers can be jeans, or anything else you care to think of.
Wields a revolver.
White skin. And a Londerner, if that makes any difference.
Poses are open-ended. I was thinking about requesting this all day and I've decided to - have a nice time designing your 14 year old Demon-Slayer
A repost from the last thread.

Yeah, I'd like a guy wielding a glaive. Possibly in white and/or monk outfit, and with a blue/white energy glow around the blade of the glaive, but that's up to the artist. The glaive is the important thing
Lanky Bugger is crazy...That's the only way to describe him...If anyone has something angelic I'll take it, otherwise I'm not really in a drawing mood.
Long time lurker, now a poster at this forums humbly asks you for an OOTS-styled avvy.
Gender : male
Equipment : wizard staff with some kind of fire emblem (red gem?)
Any other notable features (scars, tattoos, etc.) - may be some kind of fire tattoo in the face.
Hair color - black
Clothes: may be a combination of yellow, black and red
Race - Human
Class - Wizard (pyromancer)
Pose you would like your avatar to be in - one hand holding the staff, the second wreathed in fire, prepared to cast a spell.
Thanks in advance
-Car.
How's this? I'm not too keen on the fire - I've never drawn fire before on inkscape! Other than that I think it turned out good

Replying to this post from the last thread.
It looks nice, I would like to ask you for two minor changes, if I can.
First: Instead of the full-teeth smile, could you make him grinning a bit ()?
Second: The fire is great! Just make the fire burning upwards (like if he was conjuring a flame on his palm), and it would be perfect.
Hashim
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Class: Sorcerer/Stormcaster
Skin color: Dark (Middle eastern)
Hair: unkept rough black shoulder length. He is starting to grow a beard, it's just a stub.
Equipment: Loose desert outfit(Egyptian/arabic), turban(not a huge one)
Pose: There should be lightning or electricity flying around as likes to play with. He has a boyish smile. He is confident.
Or a second one:
the same person but when he was briefly in the past. They where technologically more advanced in the past but they didn't have magic.
He would ride a sleek sport motorcycle through a mist or storm or both
Thanks

The Glaivemasters, the master and the student:
This is addictive.
Dispozition, if it'll help you procrastinate that feedback on IA 2 round 1, stick green feathery wings and elegant elf ears (pearl earrings) on Rydia from FF4. I was working on making her as a headbanger, mandatory black leather jeans but a properly green top. . .ah heck, combine 'em, do angels wingbang?
They don't have to be identical - ie they can have different faces/features, but they should be similar in size. I'm not picky about hair color, skin tone.
I would like permission from whoever creates them to allow me to cut and move them around/edit the picture. I will save and host the picture from my own photobucket. I'm going to have them appear acrobatic when I use them, thus I want to occasionally change them from standing side by side to standing one on top of the other, etc....
To assist that, can I have them with their hands raised jubilantly, so that if I do put them on top of each other, with a little editing I can make it appear as though one is holding the other one up (hands holding feet).
I would like them both to be in chef's outfits. Go ahead and give one of them a knife in his belt and the other a whisk. Both should be happy, but not neccesarily smiling.
Thank you to whomever creates them with all the rules I have above. I intend to use them in the town thread, and figured it'd be easier to go with this rather then requesting a new avatar of them drawn anytime I want to adjust the pose.
I shall name them Beymar and Emiralk.

Here's one. Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to make this - you rock already.
Name: David Lenseth (Basis character behind my name) Gender: Male Equipment: WWII P-Coat, Blue goggles, Magic Sword (Now, here's where things get tricky. This sucker's enchanted with both Flaming burst and Icy burst. Both should not be blaringly evident, but there should be some hint. The sword itself is an unusually long, thin longsword, but not a rapier!), hiking boots ... and pants. Can't forget the pants. Notables: Blue eyes. Other than that, I got nothin'. Skin: Nothing special. Hair color: Metallic blue. Spikes. Race: Human. Class: Fighter 8 / Wizard 8 Pose: Sword out, pointed down. Other hand doing... anything? Smiling.
Again, thank you guys!
-Jedi

I'd like a Hobbit/halfling (preferably more Hobbit) avatar, if I could. Curly dark-brown hair, brown waistcoat over a green shirt, brown trousers, holding a big mug of hot cocoa or summat. Think Lord of the Rings movie for clothing style. Wears oval glasses. Probably has a cheerful look.
