[space_monkey]

What do you think? It's not completely done yet.

What do you think? It's not completely done yet.

Add something to it that looks like it's from space. If you can think of something. I can't.

[penagate]

Black background with random stars and bits of space junk.

[Valleysboy1978]

A black background with stars?

[mendhak]

Exxxcellent.

[space_monkey]

Thanks

[Valleysboy1978]

No worries mate

[Merri]

Merri yours kicks ass, and yeah i can tell it was drawn in paint, just very well drawn, good on ya

I used PSP4, it is better for pixel drawing And don't worry, it is from 1996.

[Neoharuo]

This is the best you will get out of me. My paint skills suck

[RobDog888]

You guys all jumped ship too early. Its still August for a little while still. I'm not changing until tomorrow.

[Merri]

Sorry... it is the First of September here Well, ok, 20 minutes until that but who cares...

[grilkip]

You know I'll never abandon you Rob don't you? Now rep me

[eyeRmonkey]

Dang Merri, yours is awesome. I'm curious how RD's will turn out. So far mine is a load of crap. I mean, everyone thinks theirs looks bad, but mine is. You guys saw the screen shots on the last page.

This is a great theme for this month though. The only holiday is Labor Day and that doesn't leave many options for avatars. At least the next few months are figured out for us.

PS - The first month I was here was July, did you guys do themes before then? I remember JR, RD and I kinda sparked up July into an avatar theme instead of just a couple people doing it, so I am guessing there weren't many people taking part in this type of thing before then. Am I correct?

[space_monkey]

Not that yours was bad but i had to make a few changes.

[RobDog888]

Yes, your correct. We did do the holiday themes last year but not during the regular months.

grilkip, I'll send you a Rep alright, -Rep since you didnt specify a positive one. Just Kidding!

[Jacob Roman]

I must have made history for VBForums doing the regular month avatar trends

[mendhak]

Yes.

[Merri]

No!!

[mendhak]

He's jealous. Iggy'im.

All the unnecessary changes and updates have brought the system to it's knees, practically speaking. Rejoice!

Which one is better? This one is definitely hand drawn


The green on the right looks pretty bad. Someone can fix it if they want

Where?

[RobDog888]

Who me? Its still August for me over here.

[oceanebelle]

I don't want to mess my avatar.. I refuse! hmft.

[eyeRmonkey]

I'm pissed. I spent an hour or so making mine hand drawen and this is what I came up with:


I swear I drew every pixel by hand using the paintbrush. I simply was doing it in PaintShop Pro and using the original as a layer behind it as a guide. Its not cheating! ... Kinda... Anyway, it turned out TOO good and doens't look like I am participating in the theme at all. So I guess I will have to really do it by hand. I'm just mad that I spent so much time on it and it looks like I applied some filter/effect to it when really I drew every single pixel.


Heres what the original looks like:
