With January coming rathar quickly, I can't help but wonder - what is the avatar theme? Superbowl?

JustJack
12-21-2001, 09:41 PM
I dunno. I've heard a lot of talk about a superbowl Avatar contest..but..I dunno. I'm not a big Football fan anymore (I can't enjoy watching it anymore..oh well).

Hmmm...

Well, January, I dunno.
February...how about some kind of Valentines contest? Or perhaps just a "shades of red" contest... :p
OOO!!!! February is Toy Fair!!! Maybe we could have a "favorite toy" contest? Perhaps of an old toy from childhood..or a new toy you've been drooling over?? :eek: :D
March...hmmm...is St. Patricks Day in March?
Then Easter? In April? I dunno...
May shall be Spider-Man(Mine is soooo cool!), and Star Wars(??)

And I think a couple people mentioned a Star Trek contest?

Joe Tully
12-21-2001, 09:45 PM
I think that January would be a good month for a randomly themed avatar contest. The last few have been based on Holidays and, of course, the LOTR one based on the movie. I don't think that we've done a random one since the Star Wars one.

But, I think that we should take an avatar contest break before we worry about the next one.

Calhoun07
12-21-2001, 10:30 PM
should we even be discussing the next contest while the current one is running? Well, if that's cool, then I am for the Super Bowl contest. And if you don't think you like football as much, I don't like it at all! But I still think it would be fun to do a themed avatar based on it!

JustJack
12-21-2001, 10:40 PM
Hmm..maybe I'll just have an avatar full of football cheerleaders...eh..I'm liking this idea! That means I'm going to have to find a picture..and..so many to look at.......hmm...Research time! :p

OK, we had room for another 100 posts before making the shift from pt 2 to pt 3, but I'm gonna go ahead and jumpstart the new incarnation. We got outta hand there at the end of pt 2 and maybe the change will shock us back to sobriety. This thread can't turn into another TNP.

As for the next contest: A Superbowl theme sounds fine. When is the Superbowl, anyway?

Failure
12-21-2001, 10:50 PM
Actually, I think the Super Bowl this year might have been delayed into the 1st Sunday of February because of 9-11.

I'm all for a Super Bowl contest, but do you think there's enough interest? I'd hate for it to have a low turnout like the LOTR contest.

Calhoun07
12-21-2001, 11:02 PM
I think there are more foot ball fans than LOTR fans here, but I might be wrong.

James Harvey
12-22-2001, 01:25 AM
If not then I'm sure we can think of something. There's a wide array of characters and themes we can undertake.

Naraht
12-22-2001, 01:36 AM
Hey, there were plenty of LotR fans..just very few Avatars...
I have no idea what I'd do for a Superbowl Avatar...I don't like the idea

Since January, is the start of a New Year...what about a "Future" avatar theme...

Lol! Yes, everyone's Avatar must be one that they can't use for another 2 years! :D

Speaking of Future...since next fall, He-Man is making his BIG come-back(Hmm..would a new Animated Series, Comic Book, and complete line of highly anticipated action figures be concidered BIG?), how about a HeMan & Masters of the Universe Avatar Contest when the big event begins?(We can set it around the premier of the Show, since the Toys will be out abit sooner)??

Now, I know we have plenty of Masters of the Universe fans...RIGHT?! :p

Naraht
12-22-2001, 02:10 AM
Well, since apartently "I need a new Avatar" is to broad...I came up with one on my own..

I is the Black Mage, from 8-Bit theater (which is in turn, based on Final Fantasy...[no bloody II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, or X! to paraphrase Scotty])

At first, naraht, I thought that was a Wizzrobe from Zelda! Ooooh, I hated those guys.

And, no, that isn't what a Wizzrobe does. Don't be sick. :p

Oh well, it could've been worse. I guess his avatar could've looked like a Darknut.

Check out 8 bit theater, with the link I provided...then you'll see how Cool BM is...and how disturbed I am.

Zelda avatars....hrm...there's an idea...

WHA?!?! (I skipped this earlier..I must be slipping)

They're bringing back He-Man?

The crap movie didn't kill him?

Will Battle Cat & Neck guy, and Moss Man, and umm...tries to remember his old action figures...

Think the action figures will come with the little comics? I was like 6, and I loved those...

DUDE!!! You must be slipping BIG TIME! The HeMan relaunch has been a HUGE story since almost over a year ago!!!
www.figures.com
Go there, look under Mattel, & you'll find the complete line of totally redesigned toys. Sweet!

Anyway, back on topic...A Masters of the Universe avatar contest would be sooo cool!! Just imagine how many HeMan variations would pop up! :D

Whoa, that could be a catapult for creativity! It might be a little difficult thing to pull off, but I really like the idea for it. A contest that not only reflects your aesthetic tastes but also reflects your personality? I think that's a great idea.

How about a Final Fantasy Avatar Contest?

...credit for this idea goes partial to Naraht... and partial to my little brother Getting FFX a few days ago, and me so far spending about 10 1/2 hours sitting in front of it =)

...and it would give Maxie a reason to bring back his favorite avatar ;)

I signed your guestbook after visiting you site, you drawings (and avatar) look really good!

12-23-2001, 09:57 AM
Oh, thank you very much :)

Nah, it's a reference to a Toonzone dream I had. If you want to hear it, you can PM me. Anyway, Maxie was the freaky blue queen from FF9 in it, and after that, he got a picture of the aforementioned character to scare me :p

The Mad Hatter
12-23-2001, 02:41 PM
Yup, the shot of the creepy blue queen was the one where she was grinning like a madwoman. It frightened everyone here, and we're used to creepy avatars!

Not sure how many people would participate in a FF avatar contest, but I would... lessee if I can dig up some Vivi pictures...

Here's a totally random idea for y'all to chew on. :D

Alter-ego avatar contests.

For instance, we use our names and create alter-egos with them. >points to avatar< See? >shrugs< It's really big over at the DCUA, so I figure might as well bring it over here, right? :)

The post was falling. Heh...had to save it!

So, since the latest contest is over in the morning, what new avatars will everyone be fashioning?

I have a few good various anime-related ones. I've also got a number that will once again, honor my tradition of "Evil Dead Ash" Avatars. Ahh..yes. I also have one I'm saving for the Spiderman Avatar Contest...I think its really cool..but I don't want to use it before the actual contest. Thats my biggest moral dilema right now...right now, I'm living the easy life..!

Something like that. I don't remember her fighting a lot of baddies to be honest, but I think she turned into some do- gooding superstar when she spun her magic earrings. It also had some nice opening theme animation, IIRC.

Honestly, I was actually entertained by it when I was a kid. This is coming from a boy who dug Transformers, Robotech, Bravestarr and Thundercats.

I know Danielle doesn't care for my grotesque smileys, so I've mostly refrained from using them as avatars, but I have to admit that this fella's---> http://www.duhspot.com/users/smiley/s/ups/DeNiro/rasputin.gif <----one scary booger.

I like also totally missed the Christmas avatar contest too,
I totally forgot about it.
Well, congrats to the winners of the Christmas avatars.

Here's my new avatar, it's like totally kewl and I like it .

My friend Jesse made it for me when I asked him to make a rose avatar for me,
He's a very talented artist and he can draw really good on the computer too.
He lives across the street from me and he's so nice and sweet,
He like gave me a super cute teddy bear and a bouquet of flowers for Christmas.
That is like so sweet.
He's like one of those people that you feel blessed to have as a friend.
The ones that are always there for you, which is so kewl except that his bedroom is really messy which needs to be cleaned real bad.

Well anyways, I totally blabbed there,
Here's my new avatar
A rose for Love

Have a Happy and wonder New Year

Ricochet:
your avatar actually does look like Shemp Howard. Is it supposed to?
It's actually Rasputin, that infamous 19th-century Russian monk. I first used him during the Halloween avatar contest, and a poster at Termite Terrace said it looked like Shemp with a beard. I had to admit, with the stringy hair and potato nose, it did resemble Shemp in "Sing a Song of Six Pants" (after he put on bank robber Terry Hargan's fake whiskers). So I resurrected him for the week and rechristened him.

this is a new avatar, ive had some ones that are kinda similar to it, but the reason it looks familair to you i guess is because its gelnn danzig, im sure youve seen him before.

I knew it was Danzig! I have a friend who's a huge Danzig fan, and that is probably where I've seen the image! That's what that was!

Hey! It's not THAT ancient (considering the mario avatars out there)

Besides, it was the last really good Zelda (and I've never played the NES Zeldas)

I miss my SNES...

Well, I can't say anything for the N64 or craptastic new GC Zelda (if you've read the rumors, you'd know why I'm calling it that), but the original NES Zelda OWNS! The SNES Zelda is good, REAL good, but it just can't touch the original Legend of Zelda. Man, naraht, you are MISSING OUT by not playing it! >ahem< Then again, this is coming from someone who has played it on and off since 1985 and STILL hasn't beaten it, but anywho...

Oh, PS - HAPPY NEW YEAR BABY! WOO! :D

Ocarina of Time was pretty good, I think, albeit you can really only play it once. Majora's Mask, IMO, was terrible.

But yay! Zelda rules. Nice avatar :)

Nah, Kylewayne, I really like your Catwoman avatars... unless Catwoman pictures are becoming harder to find in which by all means, change from your theme.

All that thigh movement doesn't help either...

Well it's disturbing now that you got that picture in my head! :p

And kylewayne, catwoman is really cool, but it's your avatar, and if you want to stray from your theme for awhile, then you should. I've got original Optimus up there now (i know it's not that different, but still ;) ).

kylewayne- IMO stay with Catwoman. she's awesome! ^^

LLJ - your avatar wasn't disturbing until you said that... jeez... putting bad thoughts in my head... you should be ashamed!

and now I have a cry for help.

I have this awesome picture, right? but it's WAY to big plus I only want this one part of it for my avatar. how do I get that one part make sure it's the right size and make it a valid jpg/gif file?

also how do you resize an animated gif?

thankees! ta-ta!

*Batgirl*

If you have a paint program (A fairly decent paint program, not MS Paint. Something like Paintshop Pro, or Photoshop. Mmm...Photoshop), you can use the crop tool to cut out the part that you want and the rest of the picture is deleted. Then you can resize the portion that you just cut out. The crop tool looks like a black square with two black lines coming out of each side of two corners on the square diagonal to each other. Just in case you don't know what a crop tool is and hopefully my description makes sense!

As for making it a jpg or gif file, if the file was already in that format when it started, I think you can just save changes, and there's your new avatar. Unless you want to save your avatar separately and keep your nice new picture. Try "Save as..." then. If that doesn't work (it should), you might have to export the file as a jpg or gif, and the commands for that vary with paint programs. But I think it's pretty simple to figure out after trying a few commands.

I don't use animated gifs that regularly, but I think you can just resize it with a paint program like a normal gif.

If you don't have a paint program or had NOOOOOO idea what I just said, someone kind here can probably do it for you, like Bird_Boy, I think. Just email or pm them. I'd be willing to do it too. Mmmm.....Photoshop.

I don't have a paint program really because well... as far as i can tell, Macintosh don't come w/ paint programs and I can't find one.... I do have Adobe Photoshop though... does that count? :confused: ~everyone starts laughing~ oh be quiet... I'm not exactly computer oriented. :p

anyway... thankee! ~goes into adobe in search of a crop tool~

I'm loving all these video game avatars, 8-bit and up. Maybe I should pull out my Pocky and Rocky pictures and make an avatar out of one of 'em... man, I miss that game... :( I even kinda like the Sailor Moon and DBZ avatars that are popping up here and there. Like yours batgirl, and PeppeRaskel's, even Majin Vegeta's.

I have Corel 10, which tells me it has a program that would allow me to make such files, but I have yet been able to master the technique. Till then, they can be uploaded from individual sites if you ever find a good one, provided it meets the size requirement.

after shuffling through my old comics..I found him on the cover (not the exact pic though). I couldn't find his name though..but my guess is..it's either:

Late last night I changed my avatar from something from the world of David Lynch, going back to an old theme of mine, but then I realized I forgot that this is Super Staff Avatar week, where each member of the Toon Zone staff has a superhero themed avatar. So the one you were supposed to guess on disappeared very early this morning to be replaced by, yes, Ambush Bug. I do have another fun DC superhero one that I will use when I tire of Ambush Bug, and maybe that will be my next theme....fun superheroes!

Here's my new avatar, in honor of Zeta's return later this month! :D It's a screen shot from "Ro's Reunion," the part where Zeta leaves. :( Ro2026 of Ground Wire let me use it as my new avatar! There are more screen shots from the new episodes on her site.

I just got an avatar up, thanks to Bird_Boy. It looks pretty spiffy, eh? It's from my favorite scene in the Spider-Man trailer, just after Tobey says: "Who am I? I'm Spider-Man". Great shot - and I thank Bird_Boy for making this avatar possible!

A fellow Canuck! Bird_Boy did na excellent job on your avatar. He's great at whipping these thing sup. The current one I have up is just my favorite one, and I think it'll be up permenatly. It's just the absolutely perfect avatar for my handle, I think. Plus, he cropped and focused it just right.

This is my new one... It's too small I know... but it took up too much memory or something so I called my older brother and he helped me... I am SO technically challenged or something...

Oh yeah! thanks to Nightwing for helping me out too! ~grin~ I finally figured it out!

Hey, I have an idea. To mourn for the passing of the Tick (which I thought was a pretty damn good show--not as good as the animated version, but one of the best cartoon-to-live-action reincarnations I've seen), we should have a "RIP Tick" avatar contest. >shrugs< I dunno, maybe that's just me?
