As stated before... Excellent work.

Very nice avatars. I like the way you just don't slap an image on a cool background, but actually work the image in.

If I can find some frames of my little friend to the left gradually raising the bazoka to his eye, I'd like to send them to you so you can make an animated avatar.

Unfortunately, all I have is a real media Version of that episode, and I don't know how to get it to capture frames.

Real don't like other ppl messing around with their file format, so unless they have some tool of their own for sale (I very much doubt they'd release it for free) you'll have to find some other media. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Thanks for making my avatar so much clearer!

[Matryx]

These are excellent David.
I hope you are incredibly proud of yourself http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[David E. Gervais]

I'm havin' fun, fun, fun and enjoying all your kind words!

You are all more than welcome, Cheers!

P.S. It must be the holliday spirits that have me pumped up! (or I'm drinking way too much Tea!)

[Puke]

they look great! im away from the forum for a month or so, and everyone has new avatars when I come back. wow!

[David E. Gervais]

Yo! Puke, pop over to the "Have I got an avatar for you" thread and adopt one of my orphen avatars. I'm sure there will be one you like.

Cheers!

[pathfinder]

I like mine just fine http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Taz-in-Space]

...Great work on sprucing up those Avatars...

Umm, you DO know that you will have to update all those Avatars when they get a NEW RANK? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif

I mean we can't have a general wearing Sergeant stripes!! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

[dogscoff]

great stuff. I like the way you've kept a common theme and style throughout while retaining individuality. 'm also impressed by how willing you are to respond to feedback.

*dogscoff goes to rate DG 5 stars...

[David E. Gervais]

Taz, I stopped putting rank pics a while back, in hindsight it is not really necesary, the rank name is just under the pic. I will, keep using them, but only on request. That way I'll keep a clean Version ready to be stamped with the new rank!

Ah well, live and learn, and the more I learn ArtGem the more I like it.

Cheers!

[Perrin]

Thanks David! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

I just showed my friend what I was doing and let him browse through the 'avatar' thread and his reaction was to say.. "If you build it they will come!" I laughed and replied.. "You mean if I 'Custom' Build it they will come!" LoL

I thought that was funny, and worth sharing! Cheers!

[Cheeze]

I'll add my two cents once again!! Thanks David! I like the new avatar, and appreciate the time taken to make it!

[Ragnarok]

I got to thinking about Pukes avatar. And it sort of looks like Sponge Bob Square Pants. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif Not that that is a bad thing of course. Sponge Bob is hilarious. Speaking of which, you should make an official avatar theme of Sponge Bob stuff. Like Gary, his pet snail; or Patrick, his friend star fish; or Mr. Crabs, his boss at the Krusty Krab. Ok, I admit, I know too much about that cartoon, but when my sister loves it and my dad loves it, you can't help but end up seeing countless episodes of it. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Why just an avatar theme? Why not a full-fledged ship set?

[Skulky]

You've done a great job, greater than any other person could ever attempt. however, my one comment is that almost all of your avatars have that little polish deal in the corner (right or left). While it looks cool, i think some without it would be nice.

[Cheeze]

I was sorta thinking when I saw Puke's avatar "If he doesn't take it, I will!" It has a "cheese gone bad, or just plain mean" look to it, if I look at it as an avatar I would use.

[disabled]

Sweet! where do I sign up for one!

We can always hope eh?

[Gryphin]

I am very Icon oriented. I like seeing everyone eless. I don't care about my own. Thanks.

[David E. Gervais]

..as you may have noticed I started to work on 'ship' avatar pics. I hope you like them.

..all my avatar pics are placed behind a protective glass so that the will Last forever! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

FYI: I'm going to cool off on the misc pics and concentrate on the ships for now. Of course I'll keep an eye out for requests, that's the fun of it.

Cheers!

Here's what I think.. just don't use the avatars with insignias on them. If they have a rank badge, they should remain here only.

Does that sound ok to everybody else?
