Septembers Theme For VBForums - (Hand Drawn Version of Original Avatar)

[Jacob Roman]

Christmas in July made a big impact on VBForums. Then Gangsta Yoda Month for August gotten pretty popular. What should we do about September? October, November, and December are self explanitory since it represents Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Septembers gonna be challenging since it doesn't represent anything. All ideas are welcome. How bout 3D cubes?

Seeing we have a lot of Dilbert fans- http://www.vbforums.com/showthread.php?t=356941 Perhaps we could do a Dilbert theme?

What is it with you and your 3D cubes anyway?

well school's starting.... so for students it could be anti-school, for the rest of the world it could be a joyous occassion because all the 13-year-old-n00bs are off the game servers.

We could do a cartoon theme although most members avatars are already rip offs from some cartoon. Or we could do a Simpsons theme?

Oh, or a Beer theme? Everyones avatar is a picture of their favorite beer!

[-TPM-]

MMMmmmmm BEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!

[crptcblade]

My vote goes to amoebic dysentery.

[RobDog888]

MMMmmmmm BEEEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!!

HA HA Homer Simpson drinking a beer. Its a combo theme.

[Jacob Roman]

My vote goes to amoebic dysentery.

You're vote goes for straight chics turned lesbian

[Disiance]

My vote goes to amoebic dysentery.

Be afraid, be very afraid.

Gangsta Simpsons?

[Merri]

Pixelated avatars? I'll change my own a bit...

When I firest read cartoon this is what came to my mind:

Everyone draws their regular avatar in BMP (or PS if you want it to look decent). I think that would be cool. Trying to draw your avatar and having a bunch of BMP avatars that look like stick figures running around.

Great! I just got rid of mine...just goes to show, get rid of something, and in 10 minutes it'll be back in style....sheesh.

I like the idea of a cartoon hijack theme. You could put it Dilbert's face on Homer's body with Gangsta Screems robe, and Gansta Yoda's chain and you'd have one seriously hijacked avatar (or would that simply be a jacked avatar?)

Tg

[penagate]

That's a nice idea. Draw our regular avatars freehand. I like it

[Merri]

I did it. I ruined my avatar by pixelating it. Then sharpening far too much and adding noise and blending it away...


Another idea though: smiley face theme.

[penagate]

Uhh (looks at avatar)

[-TPM-]

I don't have a 'regular' avatar....

[eyeRmonkey]

pixlated isn't looking to bad. But I think my head would explode by the end of the month.

[eyeRmonkey]

Oh, I also like the dilbert theme, but I don't know how far we could take it unless each person customized a dilbet avatar to their liking (instead of just using a normal dilbert avatar).

[Merri]

I dislike Dilbert. If anyone cared.


Garfield the cat is ok though.

[RobDog888]

No way man, Homer rules

[-TPM-]

Matt Groaning has a house up in ArrowHead....

[crptcblade]

You should all get Jesus avatars. J4U would have an orgasm.

[RobDog888]

So go take your Gangsta Yoda knowck off and go jack him for some of his original artwork! Then go sell it on ebay

[Jacob Roman]

Beavis and Butthead, Simpsons, SouthPark, Ren & Stimpy, Family Guy, and Futurama month.

[-TPM-]

If I ever meet him I will....

[RobDog888]

Ok, here is the one I Gangsta-ized.

[crptcblade]

So go take your Gangsta Yoda knowck off and go jack him for some of his original artwork!

At first glance, that was very inappropriate.

[Jacob Roman]

If Jesus were a gangsta....

...he'd crusify you. Then save you. Unless he dies for your sins in the process

[RobDog888]

How about your favorite NFL team?

Go Raiders!

[Jacob Roman]

Ewwww no thank you. Football is lame

[RobDog888]

At first glance, that was very inappropriate.

So what about the second glance?

[RobDog888]

Ewwww no thank you. Football is lame

Hey, isnt that what you say about girls too?

[Jacob Roman]

Hey, isnt that what you say about girls too?

Nope. I welcome all hotties.

[RobDog888]

Oh, that must have been your brother saying that again.

[Jacob Roman]

You didn't know this but my brother, Brian, came out of the closet last night

[Jacob Roman]

Don't let him know I made the above post. Otherwise there will be war in our household.

[space_monkey]

What about Snowed Gangsta Dilbert avatars for everyone.

[Merri]

How about Star Wreck avatars?

[eyeRmonkey]

Lets try to gather a few more ideas then we can start voting on it on monday or something. So far my fav is still hand drawn BMP ones. No special effects either (like Merri uses all the time), MS Paint is all you are allowed to use. If you can somehow make that look good then more power to you.

My second favorite is pixelated (sp?). This would be great because it would be more like snow (IE - I could grab everyones avatars and do them in PS then post them, but that way I guess you lose the personalizations that we had with gangsta avatars).
