AVATAR THREAD!

[Lia Brown]

For, um, avatars :)

Remember: please don't request an avatar if you don't plan to use it. Also, pictures/links of the requested character are always helpful.

An update! Recently, I added Falcon, and swapped Connor Hawke, Mr Miracle, Oracle, and Allan Quartermain.

[RickyD410]

Wahoo! I requested this thread back a few days ago, but then I went away. So later tonight (or tomorrow) I'll have some new avvies that I made. I'm not demanding that we change the old ones for new ones, they're just fun ones that I thought would be nice updates for some of our currents.

EDIT: Ok, its tonight!

Nightcrawler (http://img150.imageshack.us/img150/7545/nightcrawlerbx4.jpg)

I also had 2 Wolf Cubs (but theres no chance of those being added, so I didnt post them) and another Anole, but that one is from waaay back in New Mutants, so I didnt post it because its not up to date.

The sizes for all of these are around 80x80. Or 79x80 or 77x78 etc. Something around there. But none of them are bigger than 80x80.

[Lia Brown]

Unfortunately, 75x75 is the maximum size we can fit :ohwell: These can be resized, but it may harm the image quality -- we'll have to see.

However, what do people think of these new ones--?

I can adjust the sizes with minimum loss of quality if you wish, but I do find the scans a little grainy.

Is there a slap your forehead with your hand smilie? I suppose this will do:

:wall:

CBR's size limit is 80x80 so thats what I was going by. I didnt know ours was 75. Sorry....

I can adjust the sizes with minimum loss of quality if you wish, but I do find the scans a little grainy.
Some of them do look a little grainy, but I think that might be beause of Skottie's style. His cover for 43 isnt as clean and smooth as his work during Quest for Magik.

And again, I'm not demanding that we change all our current avatars to these. I was just bored and decided to post what I made.

[Michael Regan]

I've resized the lot and converted them to GIFs. I will repost before the end of the day... I hope.

[BJR]

I like Surge 2 and Rockslide and that is all.

[RickyD410]

So I made some more Anoles. They arent the right size again, but they dont need to be added. I just like making avatars when I'm bored.

Duh. Its Skottie Young! :)

[MadroxXx]

I was bored, so i made a bunch of avatars from the Joe Mad cover for Ultimates 3, and here they are:
madrox (http://www.geocities.com/madroxxx06/madrox.bmp)

I think Madrox, Hawkeye and Sabretooth came out the best

[Arrogantcur]

Can I request smileys here too or just avatars? Because I was bemoaning the lack of a Victor Mancha smiley as some here may recall. ;)

[Michael Regan]

Arrogantcur, you need to go here: The Smilie Request thread (http://www.comixfan.com/xfan/forums/showthread.php?t=38752)

[Arrogantcur]

Ah, thank you.

Btw, I thought of some avatars that would be awesome to have. Lia's former one gave me the idea.

X-BABIES!!!! :excited:

EDIT: Oh, um, never mind. I missed the part about not requesting an avatar if you didn't plan to use it, and I'm happy with Lockheed. Sorry. But if somebody else wants an X-Baby avatar, perhaps...?

[Michael Regan]

X-BABIES!!!! :excited:
If we do X-Babies, then I'll want to see Marble Universe avatars as well.

[Alter Ego]

X-babies would be cool, any way we could update the Outsiders in DC, Grace should really have an a avatar at least.

[Domino]

I would like to request a Domino avatar... maybe one of these ones:

domino1 (http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u5/wildcard17/drawing/domino1s.jpg)
domino2 (http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u5/wildcard17/drawing/domino2s.jpg)
domino3 (http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u5/wildcard17/drawing/dominos.jpg)

[Lia Brown]

I'll make a Thunder avatar, I've got a pic source for her. Might be able to swing Grace eventually (don't have time to go looking for sources now).

Domino is fine :) I've had one for ages that I've been working on -- the pic quality is nice, but there's stuff in the background. Still working on that, or maybe cleaning up the .jpg 'artifacts' in one of your pics, Domino. .Gifs really help the image quality.

I'll let y'all know when they're done.

Thank you Lia, for Thunder and Grace.

Oh, and this is just a suggestion, but could we get the Heroes avatars from the covers of the TV Guide done by the various artists, I think that would be cool.

[Lia Brown]

If so, you'd have to provide the images...I wouldn't know where to get them, and TV Guide doesn't even exist in Canada anymore :sigh:

Edit:
Okay, I've added Thunder and Domino!

[Domino]

Thanks for the Domino :)

[Alter Ego]

Any luck with Grace anyone??

[Lia Brown]

Oh right...I made a couple, but they're only so-so. I'll try to get on that again.

Are teh 4 images at the botom of this page the ones you are refering to?

Yes!! That is them!

I just thought that it would be cool to have avatars of them in comic form. And that has every character needed.

[Lia Brown]

I dunno, I'm not completely thrilled with any of these. What do you guys think?

[Alter Ego]

I dunno, I'm not completely thrilled with any of these. What do you guys think?
I like all of the Heroes ones, not the Graces.

[Lia Brown]

I've added the Heroes ones to the TV section.

[Alter Ego]

I've added the Heroes ones to the TV section.
Cool! Anyway we can get Maya added to that too, I like her???

[Lia Brown]

Who's Maya? I don't watch the show...and I only saw 4 covers...

[Alter Ego]

Who's Maya? I don't watch the show...and I only saw 4 covers...
She is the Hispanic girl that is to the left of the issue with Sylar. Micah would be a good one too, the young boy in the same one as Sylar too. Elle would be neat too, she is the other blonde with Claire. Just some thoughts.

[MadroxXx]

Lia, do you have another madrox avatar to replace the current one? i'm a bit tired of this one, and since i think i'm the only one using it, no one's going to complain if we change it.

[Lia Brown]

I do have some, but I'm not entirely thrilled with them. What do you think?

[MadroxXx]

I like the third one, the others not so much.

[Michael Regan]

more options ?

[BJR]

I like Michael's #3.

[Lia Brown]

MadroxXx, anyone else? If you have a choice between mine and Michael's, which would you take?

Honestly, I like the current one better than any of the new ones. But if you guys want it changed, it's up to you.


Oh, and I made another Grace; what do you think?

I like your second Madrox, and that Grace is good too.

Any chance we can get a Blindfold Avi??

[MadroxXx]

I guess you're right, the current one is better. i finally got home so i made a couple madrox avatars, what do you think:
madrox01 (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii311/madroxxx/madrox03.jpg)
madrox02 (http://i267.photobucket.com/albums/ii311/madroxxx/madrox02.jpg)

I like the second one. Sorta shows off his ability, if ya know what i mean.

[Michael Regan]

I like number 2 as well.

[BJR]

Madrox #2

[Lia Brown]

Okay, I swapped for Madrox #2, and added Grace.

[MadroxXx]

Thanks Lia.

[Hjels]

Any chance of getting a Matthew Risman avatar?

Pretty please, with sugar sprinkles?

Father Matthew (http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/3949/fathermatthewam5.jpg)

[Peaches Valentine]

Can please please please have a MODOK?

Here's some pics...either one would be cool.

I'll rescale those this evening so everyone can see the end result.

[Keogh]

#1 of MODOK is better, IMHO, though I wouldn't use it myself... :eek: Nice sort of thing to use for a greeting card for someone you don't like though. :mwahaha:

Anyway, good to have found an Indy avatar. :cheers:

[Michael Regan]

Here they are in the event that anything is to be done with them

[Peaches Valentine]

The first one is a better image, but the second one has better cropping. Maybe if the final product were set slightly higher on the image?

Thanks, Michael, for editing the images!

[Lia Brown]

I cropped them differently -- how are these? (it's fine if you hate them)

Added Father Matthew.

I didn't even realize we have an Indy avatar :LOL:

[Michael Regan]

I was trying to hard to include his stubby little limbs. Those do look better.

[Peaches Valentine]

Those are both great! I'd go with the second one just 'cause it's Eric Powell, tho.

[Lia Brown]

Okay, I'll add #2! He's in the Marvel Heroes section.

[Peaches Valentine]

Hooray! Thanks, Lia.

[RickyD410]

Hello all. Now that Young X-Men is an official title, I think its time Wolf Cub got his own avatar. I have two here. Well, I have a bunch, but I'm only posting two for now.

Wolf Cub 1 (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/1314/wolfcubcomix1fs8.jpg)

Wolf Cub 2 (http://img139.imageshack.us/img139/5879/wolfcubcomix2cg7.png)

Both pics are 75x75 and from the Quest for Magik arc. I didnt choose any of Yanick Paquette's work because I think its terribly ugly, and I love Skottie Young's stuff with all of my heart. So if you're interested... here they are.

[Lia Brown]

#2 was actually 75x76, so I had to tinker with it a bit. But it's been added to the New X-Men avatars! (haven't changed it to Young X-Men yet)

[RickyD410]

But yay! Thanks!! :D

Possible updates

[BJR]

I love Philip's Dani and X-23

I love Philip's Dani and X-23
Ditto.

[MadroxXx]

vote for the Dani one, i love her in that cover!!!

[RickyD410]

I vote for Dani, por favor.

[Lia Brown]

Thanks for the submissions, Philip! Have to admit that X-23's doesn't appeal to me (it's a bit blurry), so I tinkered with it a bit and made another. What do you guys think of them?

[BJR]

Lia's X-23 #1.

[Philip Snyder]

I like your first X23 but your second looks blurrier than mine. I don't know if it is my screen or what, but mine looks clear to me.

Also, I figured that the Ultimate Psylocke would be a good addition from where she is actually on the team now.

[Keogh]

Dani and Magma look good, and Lias' first X-23.

[MadroxXx]

i really like Lia's first x-23

[Lia Brown]

Okay, new Dani, Magma, and X-23!

[Selene - The Black Queen]

I'm just wondering how we add our own custom avatars? I have an image of Wanda I want to use but i'm not sure how I do it. Any help is appreciated.

[Lia Brown]

I'm afraid that regular posters getting custom avatars isn't possible right now :( We'd need to upgrade to a new version of vBulletin to do it, which might happen someday.

If you have avatars you'd rather see than the current one(s), feel free to post them for consideration!

[Alter Ego]

Any chance we can re-vamp the Exiles avatars, they haven't been updated for the new team. Anyone have any good pics?

[Philip Snyder]

I have some pictures of Psylocke and I can get others when I get back home. I'm on vacation right now and don't have access to my computer. I will try and get some up in a few days if possible.

[Alter Ego]

Awesome, we need to get this ball rolling.

[Keogh]

How about some MI 13 avatars? Skrull John and Faiza certainly don't have any, I'm not sure about Spitfire, and Black Knight, Captain Britain, and Wisdom could stand to benefit from new ones....

[Alter Ego]

I like how you think. :D

[Lia Brown]

As always, pictures help. Whenever I see a nice image that I think would make a good avatar, I grab it, but I don't have time to go looking for 'em (especially if I'm not familiar with the characters).

[BJR]

Another MI:13 would be Blade. From the cover of issue 5 perhaps.

[Rictor]

I'm looking for the Janne Pietikainen avatar, but I'm coming up with nothin!! We all needs the muscles n'snow combo! :P

[Michael Regan]

Let me see what I can find on both fronts.

Now I'm seriously weirded out.

[Michael Regan]

Some possible MI:13 and New Exiles Avatars:

Black Knight (MI:13), Faiza Jussain (MI:13), Skrull John Lennon (MI:13), Spitfore, Gambit (Exiles), Cat (Exiles) Mystiq (Exiles)

[BJR]

I really like the MI: 13 avatars.

[Keogh]

I like the lot of them, with the exception, perhaps, of InvisiFish Gambit, but just because the character is such a twit. :P

[AdamWarlock]

How about some nice GotG or Annihilation Avatars? (Specifically a new Warlock one... :P )

[Michael Regan]

Guardians of the Galaxy:

Adam Warlock, Cosmo, Drax the Destroyer, Gamora, Mantis, Phyla-Vell, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord

[John H]

Nice avatars, especially the GotG. How about a couple ClanDestine avatars?

[Lia Brown]

You'll have to tell me who these are, because I don't recognize most of the characters. I've largely stopped reading current Marvel comics.

PS, don't tempt me to add an official Janne avatar :P

[Michael Regan]

You'll have to tell me who these are, because I don't recognize most of the characters.

File names are named accordingly, but I've added names to the posts as well.

Not a bad idea either

[BJR]

Really like the GotG avatars!

[Keogh]

Outstanding Guardian avatars, especially Phyla, with, perhaps the exception of Rocket Raccoon, only for the reason that the character has yet to suffer a horrible death. :hope:

[Alter Ego]

I like all of the Guardians of the Galaxy avatars except Rocket Raccoon because he is facing to the side, and Star Lord because he looks squished. Phyla is the best!!

[Michael Regan]

Not impressed with the face-forward Rocket Raccoon images; there are not many usable images of Star Lord.

Sorry about that folks, I haven't had the time to have the internet installed at my apt yet, so I am trying to make it to campus as much as I can so I can actually log on and all that jazz...however that isn't going so hot as of late because of my work hours. But here is what I have so far. I realize most of them are not the correct size, but for some reason I'm not able to access it at the moment :(

I like the first three as well, I think they look good.

[AdamWarlock]

Nice job Mike!
When will we see the new GotG avatarrs implemented?

[Lia Brown]

Right, I have to get on that. Got sidetracked with all the site drama recently. I also need to delete those smilies, and replace some with their older versions if possible.

[Lia Brown]

It was a long slog, but I added most of them. Didn't add any of Philip's, because I wasn't sure if you guys wanted that 75x75 Psylocke. Thank you for the other images, Philip, but I don't think they'll make good avatars, alas.

Did you guys want the new Psylocke?

It's probably time to purge some rarely-used avatars.


Clay, the new Adam Warlock is in the GotG section.

[Michael Regan]

Nice job Mike!
Thank you
I like all of the Guardians of the Galaxy avatars except Rocket Raccoon because he is facing to the side, and Star Lord because he looks squished. Phyla is the best!!

Having reviewed the GotG issues again I think I can probably get a better image for both Rocket Raccoon and Star Lord, so let me know if there is a want.

[Alter Ego]

Cool, thanks Lia.

Feel free to post 'em!

Feel free to post 'em!
New options; two new Rocket Raccoons to choose from

I like this Star Lord better and the first Raccoon.

[Michael Regan]

I like the 2nd Rocket Raccoon. The action shot captures the character better.

[Alter Ego]

I am really digging this Mantis avi btw, thanks again for all the good GoTG avi's.

[Michael Regan]

My pleasure. They are fun to make.

[Alter Ego]

Any chance we can get a re-vamp of the Legion of Superheroes Avis, maybe use Gary Frank's version from Action Comics "Superman and the Legion of Superheroes"!! That would be spectacular! Especially Chameleon Girl, Night Girl, Dawnstar, Polar Boy, Brainy, well, really all of them!!

[Lia Brown]

Pics of them would help...I don't know much about the Legion.

[Michael Regan]

I may not have time to search, but issue numbers would help if possible.

[Lia Brown]

How about a new Storm avatar?

[Philip Snyder]

I say either the first one or the third would make an excellent Storm avatar.

[BJR]

I think 3 or 5.

[Keogh]

The third Ororo.

[Alter Ego]

I actually like the second one, the third one is good too though.

[Toño Anaya]

Lia, any chance we see a Mohawk version? :D

[Michael Regan]

Lia, any chance we see a Mohawk version? :D
That is not a bad idea, actually. Now where is my Collected X-Men DVD-ROM?

Bah, can't find it. Here are some from covers at least:

[Lia Brown]

Sorry guys, I think we're aiming more for a current look :ohwell:

[Michael Regan]

Sorry guys, I think we're aiming more for a current look :ohwell:
No problem, I thought they would be fun to post even if not considered. Feel free to delete them unless you want anyone else to look them over.

[Alter Ego]

Can anyone get some avatars from the Initiative, Komodo and the other graduates perhaps...

[Lia Brown]

Well, this thread is now officially pointless, as our clever EIC Nick managed to get the custom avatars turned back on. Y'all can now make your own (although I caution you to make sure they don't have offensive content).

I mourn the lack of relevance of my beautiful avatars, but am glad to not have to upload 'em anymore :P But what shall I do with my itchy avatar-making fingers? Guess I can trash the ones I made recently...

[Michael Regan]

Of course, your assistance in creating for members may still be useful, and the stock avatars will be handy for those who don't have the particular know how to do so.

[Phoenix_Force]

You know Lia, if you made me a custom avatar I wouldn't be that sad about it . . . ;) Should I PM you with a request? We can work out some sort of shout-out in my user signature situation. Bah, why does this sound like a drug deal?

[Keogh]

Phoenix Force, I managed to muddle my way through getting an avatar. Google custom avatar; it's a site that'll assist you, and select a photo from a webpage, harddrive, or jpg, and you'll be able to work your way through it.

I'll do my best, although when it comes to animating avatars, all I can do is a slideshow effect, not like a moving image or anything.

You can make a request here, unless you want it to be secret or something. Credit's not necessary :)

[Michael Regan]

I'm happy to help out when I have time as well.

[Phoenix_Force]

Well wowsers! Thank you, everyone. I'd love either a Rachel Grey-Summers avatar or a new Karima one; I'm not picky with the animation or anything, I'd just love some options with those two characters. A regular ol' standing avatar without any animations or flashy effects is fine by me. And of course I'll credit you all in my signature for assisting me. :cheers:

[Michael Regan]

Karima the thief from Egypt and the once Rachel Summers, now Rachel Grey once alias Phoenix now Marvel Girl originally from Earth-811.

Let's see what can be turned up.

[Phoenix_Force]

Actually, I meant Karima Shapandar the Omega Sentinel. But I do enjoy Karima the thief as well :D

[Lia Brown]

You like any of these?

(Anyone can feel free to take them)

[Philip Snyder]

I have this Rachel as well...I had more but I don't know what happened to them. I'll keep adding more to this as I find them.

[Michael Regan]

... I'm not certain who that is. I'll see what I have.

[Marty P]

Sure you do; Ex-girlfriend (wife??) of Neal 'Thunderbird III' Shaara, turned into an Omega Sentinel, last seen in X-Men Legacy. She was part of Rogue's team when Carey started his run on the book (the Supernovas arc).

Ah, yes. If I remember correctly the best images were during House of M. I'll see what I can find.

[Lia Brown]

Here's another Rachel. I can flip her so she's facing the other direction, if you want. I found some old Karimas I'd made, but they kind of sucked.

[Michael Regan]

Here are some Karima avatars:

[Michael Regan]

And here are some of her various Omega Sentinel incarnations, including a couple from House of M and a post-op image:

Although ComixFAN now offers the functionality of custom avatars to all members it is understood that not everyone is capable of creating their own avatars.

If anyone would like a custom avatar, fell free to ask and I or another memeber of staff will help you get what you would like.
