Your current one is 147x198. I believe 200x200 is the max allowed. I can't find my old avatar. Must have been on my old hard drive.

I'm not great at photoshop, but I created the following:

I've done others, but can't really recall the usernames right now to see if they are still being sported.

Well, get looking, then! You all have your weekend assignments! ;)

(Folks who want to set up shop making new avatars *could* start their own thread. Just sayin'. ;) )

should folks who do not want to set up shop making new avatars also start their own thread letting people know they are not folks who are setting up shop making new avatars with their own thread about them not setting up shop to make new avatars? it seems like a lot of work to avoid a lot of work.

Edge really hooked me up. I gave him a description of what I was looking for and he did a great job. I think the first try at it I had him make the wave larger and the ship smaller... or something like that...I might look through my old messages and see exactly.

Ok guys...here's a blast from the past... :D

Click On The Link

Edge lives on. :D

LuciMay, sorry darlin', yours isn't there.

(Damn...that brought back memories...some good folk vanished into the matrix...)

Mine, I still have as y'all can see. I took a break from it, (well sorta, since I used the same text), but it's back. (I know, you know, that's what started this.)

Well, that might be so...but I have an Edgetar of my tattoo. ;)

As for yours Syl, by strange chance...I have a copy of it. :D

Saved it to show the GF once, and I don't really delete stuff...seriously...I have shit on this hard drive that I've been carting around since the early 90's. :D

Maybe it's not the original size, but that's what I have...I think it was after the 150x200 era. When did you get it put on?

Oh, for them as wants to know...current avatar limits are 200x200 and like 100kb or so. (I set it back when I changed mine to the skull. ;) )

Shouldn't they also post samples of avatars to show what they're not going to make?

aliantha, so, what about actually dusting off your Edgetar?

Awesome. Thanks, Av.

And it looks like I got the tattoo on or about January 11, 2008.

;) No worries.

And I saved that pic on the 13th August 2007. (So it is 200 afterall...I wonder why the one I posted looks so much smaller.)

If you follow the link, you can see a real old one of yours. :D

Yeah, I saw those. I appreciate the work Edge did on those, but they never really fit, for me. His work on this one, though, based off a sketch I scanned and sent him, was really good. Made it much more iconic and almost tribal. It was a tattoo idea in the first place, so...

And why the hell are you posting at 5:30 in the afternoon my time? :mrgreen:

*nod*

I wrote mine last night, but it is awaiting a proof read before being posted. Hopefully, soon-ish...

I doubt it is what the Aurtarch wants, but c'est la vie.
