There are several savvy techy's here who create own their videos, their own gif's and their own av's. Here's your chance to shine and share your stuff. Anyone looking for a new, original avatar but lacks the know-how, come here and post a request. Anyone with the know-how, the generosity and the time to create one for a member, please, shine on.
I'm in need of an avatar with "Alpha" in the theme or image. I'd love to use one made by a member here. If anyone would be so kind, I'd be much obliged.
:D

I'm assuming you're a female (LLFM Alpha) I think this picture could be the starting point for a good one, if someone else can add to it by editing it a bit.

This was from a mob called Alpha Security from the UK. Slightly modified for the circumstances.

that photo is from one of those Renaissance festivals where people get dressed up in period armor and and do battle. jousting, sword fighting etc. before it was mostly men but now women are taking part too. there's some excellent costumes out there and now they're doing fantasy armor as well. mostly inspired by movies, comics and video games. fun stuff :o)

Oh very cool!! I love the LL logo eked within the image too. Thank you very much! :D This is exactly what I was hoping for.
For the record, it'll be a bit before I can upload a new avatar since they have to be entered manually (temporarily I'm sure) so don't anyone be offended if you've made me an av and it doesn't appear right away.
teehee i couldnt resist :p
d3dsh33p, that's a lot of testosterone, chest hair and muscle packed in one little avatar. LOL :p

afreegreek, I like the chest av pic you've offered, thanks man. As far as theme? Alpha was my only request. Lay it on me. :cool:

Just cleaned up your original a little, more of a test than anything else.
I'm curious about the pixel limitations,
maybe this one will come off Cleaner. ?
Thank you! That's much cleaner. Appreciate your time playbynight. Cheers!

I took a stab at it. I went for direction and composition with the obvious greek theme. I tried two different color pallets as well. No need to use them if they don't suit. These are very clean and simple which I think has a bigger impact as an avatar...

(Blush) Coming up with cool Greek imagery is like shooting fish in a barrel! I just love the sculptures and this one had such powerful 'direction' I thought it would translate well into a tiny avatar. I don't have any real art training as I was a physics major in college but I feel that imbalance that creates direction is often a missing element in graphic arts. It is certainly more of an emotional element anyhow!

Oh excellent! Thank you very much DJ!!! I've saved these and I have no doubt I'll use both in the future. I've got a couple here that I'll lend fair time to and I'm sure I'll be switching back and forth.
Thanks again for your time and creativity. I agree, simplicity and clean lines render the more elegant images.

I know what you mean. I don't like symmetry very much, nature has very little of it so it always looks dead and artificial to me. asymmetrical images always seem to have a little bit of life and movement to them. I like very simple images and objects too, clutter (too much detail or color) makes me tense. this one packs a lot of authority too, perfect for the "enforcer" image of a Mod
