Please, Kerensky, if you change your avatar, post your old one on the forums. It's simply fantastic!



I'm not changing it, just trying to use it on another forum...

Hey, Loser. Long time no see. You really back? or just hovering for SE:V?

[David E. Gervais]

So, I'm monumentous? hmm, I like it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Just so people don't think I have dropped off the face of the earth,.. need an avatar? Post a request here. Might as well make good use of this thread Necromancy...

You know, there was a guy on page 9 of this thread complaining it was too long. Just thought I'd mention that. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/redface.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

LOL

[RCCCL]

I have a request for you David.

Think there is any way you can animate my avatar. Like make the flames and arms move?

[RCCCL]

Actually here is the original picture. It's a Magic: The Gathering wallpaper image. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[David E. Gervais]

ok, first do not overestimate my skills as an animator, they are minimal at best. That said here are 3 choices for the avatar..

[RCCCL]

I like the middle one. I'll switch back and forth from my original and it.

The last one with the revolving light strikes me as a little to flashy for the subject image.....

They are all great though.

If you could eventually animate it, that'd be excellent!

[RCCCL]

There! *Brushes hands in a finished gesture*

[RCCCL]

If you want some more Images to make Avatars out of, here is the address for the MTG wallpapaper archive.

http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgcom/wpotwarchive

There are some very nice images that I think would make some impressive avatars.

In fact, I have another request if you dont mind. Can you take the picture from this and resize it for me. Maybe make one without the source of light in the upper left?

[David E. Gervais]

Fyi: the 'light source' it a trademark sig of all my avatars. live with it. I don't know you well enough to make exceptions to my rules. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

that said, here is your resized image 'Avatarized' by me.

[Caduceus]

DEG - one of these days I need to send you a good "card" pic to make an avatar for me, since you are so involved in avatar necromancy.

During all your "spare" time.

Heh.

[narf poit chez BOOM]

'Now all ve need iz zome electrizity!'

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

"What knockers!" heh, sorry couldn't resist.

Does this mean the Avatar Emporium is back on-line? Excellent!

Btw, do you mind if I use some of the pics up there as component images? When I still worked on the Capship mod I took some pics from up there and used them as troop component pics, is it OK with you if I use them in another mod I'm currently working on?

I'll put up the pics I want to use later, I've not got them handy here. One of them is the HAL-9000 eye pic, that I know for sure.

[David E. Gervais]

Strat, no need to post the ones you want to use, just use them and enjoy.

I guess I could do more avatars in my 'spare' time, so if anyone has a pic or two they want converted just send them to me at david_gervais60 over at that hotmail service thing.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Thanks David, but I wanted to ask anyway as at least three or four of them have already been in use (though the people using them haven't posted here in quite some time). That's why I wanted to ask you.

[David E. Gervais]

Bump* (the full moon made me do it)

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

P.S. People who complain about thread necromancy are wasting their precious energy. I suggest that you petition the mods to have them lock down threads more than a day old. (or at least any threads on page 2 of further.)

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Is the Avi Emporium still active? Are you still busy with it?

[TurinTurambar]

an 8-day bump hardly qualifies for a complaint, and your avatars are part of what makes this a cool place to hang.

I'm impressed. Did you do every one, or just these 12 ( just curious, don't get me wrong.... ) ???

[David E. Gervais]

When faced with multiple pics of the same characters, I just choose one of each. It's simpler, and there really is no need for multiples, these are avatars after all.

I'm glad you like them, or was it just the speed of my 'processing' that got you gobsmacked? lol

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Black_Knyght]

I do have to admit your speed IS surprising, but being familiar with those pix I'm really impressed with how they turned out. I think your selection process is dead-bang too, 'cause you certainly captured the " Flavor " of each character perfectly.

[Caduceus]

Any chance of getting an avatar done, David?

See which one you like.

I played with the second one a little.

P.S. To use an avatar pic, right cilck on the avatar pic and "Copy Image Location" or "View Image" and grab the link in the URL space at the top of your browser. Then paste it into your profile in the right place.

[President_Elect_Shang]

1 Star = Brigadier General
2 Stars = Major General
3 Stars = Lieutenant General
4 Stars = General
5 Stars = General of the Army

I like the Vegeta a lot, now that’s a tough call because the updated Avatar you made is great too! I think I will stick with the one I have now.

Cool another chance to work on developing the art skills I do not have; which is pretty much any at all. At this rate I will be able to make my first ship set before old age takes me out!

How do I get a custom Avatar?

By scanning through this avatar abundant thread and picking one, or posting a request here. The fastest way to get me to make an avatar is to find a pic, post the link and I'll turn it into an avatar.

Here is the link to David’s Avatar Emporium. (http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/newuploads/1063712803.htm) Make sure you have some free time before you try to scan through this abundance of lovely and ready to use avatars produced by our resident guru, David. For more examples of David’s incredible work just play a game of SE5. If you would like to add some rank scan down (up depending on your display mode) and you will see them. If your not sure which rank is which the ones he used are all based on U.S. Army ranks so you can hunt down the proper one from an internet search or by asking here.

[David E. Gervais]

omg, I haven't looked at my old 'Emporium' in such a long time. I can hardly believe I made so many. And so many are 'unused' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Thanks for the walk down memory lane.

Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[President_Elect_Shang]

Now if you could just fix the link in your name from a picture of the Emporium to the Emporium itself. I think that would help out a lot of members.

In spite of a bad link,(you had 2 '//' in link and then
getting a no image available message. I took a chance and hit
the 'return' button and found this. I hope it's the image you
wanted.

So am I too late for a request?
My current avatar is straight from a google image search for dead milkmen, feel free to let your artistic bent take hold anyhow ya want.

And Phules Company was indeed an excellent series.

Was...Until they turned Phule into an idiot, made that shy girl only afraid of men (Gee, propaganda hook, much? Plus, the books are supposed to be _Light-Hearted!_) and had the aliens worship Elvis (Despite no 'Hey! Don't those guys look just like The King?!' in the previous book). And the discovery of a whole other intelligent species the aliens had somehow missed.

Yeah, I know, it's not supposed to be analyzed...But when a formerly-dynamic leader turns into an idiot, a formerly-cute character turns into a poster-child for male abuse, and I don't really mind the elvis thing too much, but why is it that Every Single Aliens Species in the whole galaxy cannot solve the simpliest of mysteries without Human Intervention!

Sorry, but I needed to rant.

[DeadMilkman]

Thanks DG!
Installed, and it looks almost exactly like the button I used to wear on my old jacket.

No apologies nessecary, Ranting is one of my favorite pasttimes http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif I agree the series went downhill quickly after the 2nd book, you may have noticed that Asprin adopted a Co-author at that point, and I personally suspect that Asprin had very little to do with it at that point as well, since there was quite a difference in the way charaters were presented, and even the way the company itself was refered too. Was pretty disappointed with it by then. BUT, the first 2 books are easily two of my all time favorites http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif
