Default The New Fangled Avatar Factory & Bar

Hello Everyone,

It appears that there would be some interest in my churning out some new 'larger' Avatars for this well loved Community. I'll make a bunch of my own choosing, but if you have a request (or better yet, a link to an image you would like me to run through my factory) just drop a post in this thread.

This is gonna be fun, buckle down the barrels of brew and you'll find extra fluffy pillows and padding in the overhead compartments.

Please do not pull the handle clearly marked "DO NOT PULL" in big bold letters. (that will cause the factory to do an emergency stop, and we do not want that to happen.. last time it took ages to get the machine running again.)

Cheers!

P.S. first batch of spiffy new avatars should be posted shortly.

How about a slightly anamorphic, very hard-bitten badger wearing a ww2 general's helmet? Maybe (or not) with a short spike on top. Think 'Patton' as a badger.

Alternatively, badger Napoleon! Vive la Badger!

EDIT: Let's hold off on that link to the AoW avatars until I've heard back from Triumph. Shrapnel Games being a for-profit operation and all that.

I've added 9 of those to the stock avatar gallery (sorry I just couldn't see the footbath being used by many people, lol).

lol, good decision Mindi,.. the footbath was a joke, based on the post in the other thread. I couldn't resist, and if JimMorrison wants to adopt it as his avatar, that's his choice, LOL

Well, here's a badger, a german spiked helm and a general's star on the front.. It's as close as I'm gonna get working my montage magic..



Cheers!

I would seriously consider using the Footbath avatar if it didn't have the text on it. At least for awhile anyway.

You know, back in high school, we had a program to work with called the WinAli Assembler to learn the Assembler language. In one of my good days I modified the program to include new text, buttons and background images with a resource editor, then uploaded it to all the lab computers the day before summer vacation. I went for a mock Duke Nukem 3D style. The program icon to launch the program was an atomic cloud picture, which I got from the then-popular WinNuke program, with Muhammad Ali in front (hence WinAli). The picture of yours reminds me very much of that, it looks pretty much exactly like it.
