    A New Round of Avatar Making

    I'll probably have a little spare time this week/weekend. I've noticed that we've got quite a few new people floating around here and to them I say:

    WELCOME!

    If any of you'd like an 'official' Free-DC avatar custom made to order , post here and give me some idea what you'd like.

    These avatars are the metal framed ones you've seen many of us using. They usually (but not always) have one or two letters to match your username in them.

    So if you want one, speak up now!

    Ah! A bike related one! How about a picture of my living room full of disassembled motorcycle?

    I'll see what I can come up with. Would you like something generic or something for your bike specifically? Aren't you riding a GSX-R these days?

    I ride a '98 GSXR750 yes

    This is the linkage to a recent pic -

    up to you I guess......

    Speaking up

    Yeah, thanks a lot.

    How about the standard look with the letters "FC"
    with a red color background?

    Thanks again,

    FC

    IIRC, he will modify your account himself. That is what he did with mine at least.

    OK, it's taken a bit longer than expected, but I'll be making avatars today.

    When they're ready, I'll uplaod them to the board and update your account for you. If anyone's not happy with theirs, or they want some changes made to it, post here or shoot me an email or PM and I'll take care of it.

    Ah, I see Jim's already handled frag's avatar! Outstanding. I've uploaded the other two...

    If anyone else needs one, now's the time to let us know...

    Just so you can thank the right guy, you guys should know that JTrinkle is helping me with the avatars now.

    I've given him my base artwork to use as a template and he's taken it and run with it! He's a modest one, though, so he tends to just make them and not let anyone know who actually did the work.

    wirthi and Tyrfang were both done by Jim and they look great!

    Thanks, Jim.

    hi!

    all the avatars dyyryath created are looking great!

    i'd like to have one too!

    is it possible to have the "the-mk" in blue with an unobtrusive background? or could you insert that picture in any way (http://mitglied.lycos.de/the_mk/the_mk.gif) into the metal frame?

    that would be great and i know it will look much better than the one i have now!

    thanks!

    You know, I think I'd like me one of them there avatars. Maybe something with a nice shiny "Z". Something tasteful, and in keeping with the office of president of the universe (retired).

    ...or whatever is hanging about that doesn't clash too badly...

    You are a gentleman, and a scholar. A man of boundless energy, and infinite good will. We don't always know where you are headed, but it is always certain that once you get there, you will have arrived!

    Heh, I got sidetracked.
    I've made a couple of them already. I'll work on the others as soon as I get home today. I should have them uploaded tonight.

    Sorry for the delay. Sometimes you guys are gonna have to stay on me about stuff like this.
