OK. Call me anal but all the gradient silhouettes are driving me nuts. So I decided to make a full set avatar from the Elemental resources we currently have. Please note that Luckmann has added many more avatars to the collection.You can get them below.
NOTE: most of these were created/cropped/edited by folks other than myself, so please give credit where credit is due
Additional Note: There are many more avatars scattered throughout the forum. I just posted the majority of them here. I have tried to include suggested pages to find more avatars by the various avatars if you want to look further. You can also use the "view edits" button if you're very very brave to view all previous versions of this main thread and the images where-in.
OFFICIAL ART AVATARS:(made from the official art of Elemental)
These were formatted by Spartan (me):
The following were formatted by Luckmann: (To provide karma; you can find his posts throughout the forum, especially on page 2 and 3)
(Elemental sub-sets: still by Luckmann)
Elemental Crystal Shards:
Elemental Symbols:
More art variants of 'official art' by Luckmann link: HERE
The following were formatted by landisaurus: (to provide karma; go pretty much to any page after page 2.)
He has also volunteered to make custom edited avatars for people who ask in exchange for karma. just PM him.
(these are kinda odd-ball ones created by Landisaurus using official art.)
More are scattered throughout the forums. Pages 4-7 in particular. They feature things like 'bear cavalry units' art and 'flying shark units' and other in-forum jokes.
The following were formatted by Wintersong: (to provide karma; Wintersong's submissions are mostly on page 8+. Page 8 to spot the first main batch)
*Coming soon*
This OP is under construction. Due to some browsing issues it is being completely reformatted and built from scratch. There are other user avatars and lots of additional avatars that are supposed to be here in the OP. Jalicos (page: 15) and eplekogen (page: 5) come to mind right away. They should have avatars in this OP soon. Of course wintersong has tons of avatars scattered throughout the web. its a work in progress tracking them down and sorting into 'official art' and 'unofficial art' especially since some of the old 'official' art did not match the current style as well as others.
We are busy people though, and editing this takes more time than one might think.
Unofficial art Avatars: (also coming soon... there are tons in the "view edits" below that should be resurrected up here soon)(these were not made with Elemental Art, but were inspired by Elemental: War of Magic and/or similar works)
Updated.
Alright, I brought a few more.
For the record, the icons that Iwarmonger and pigeonpigeon are using I also created, but they managed to snatch the avatars before I got around to posting them here. Take a look though, since they are the awesome bear archer and bear viking. (at least its based on vikings with viking shield and the REAL viking helmets) The viking bear rider has a lense flair which sadly I'm not sure I could mimic in another color valiant. Maybe the archer though.
my favorite is the wrath. Because he has a sythe. I experimented with letting the cloak pass outside the circle, I may remove that.
@Landisaurus - OK I added the other two, and it took some time to find them. For some strange reason the avatars are not showing for some people now in some threads - go figure...
@spartan yeah, I noticed that too, but their avatars will be visiable from here forward. Thanks for the quick update.
also, I try to keep track of who is using what avatar, so if anybody wants to get a medalion I don't think anybody else is using, just ask. I know I like to have avatars that are unique from everybody elses.
this is a test... to see how long it takes to update avatars
No worries. I also noticed some account name changes. I guess SD was doing some system work.
Wow those are amazing I think the only danger is that there'll be noone on the forum who doens't have a bear related avatar
Hmmm... It appears that the image host Luckmann is using is failing to send some of the images. I hope I wont have to take the time to put them all on one of my servers and redo the links...
Unfortunatly, I don't really have any other hosting capabilities.
Thanks very useful!
@Luckman - No worries I have a few servers for the communities I run. It is purely a time thing.
@Anomander - I/we cant feel your love. Its a karma thing you know...
Note: I have also made a sweetass drow chick avatar. I might make a few more when I find the time.
Some great-looking avatars there, Spartan & Anomander. I only noticed your new avatar about 10 minutes ago, Spartan, because I manually updated a thread.
On an avatar-out-of-Elemental-context note, I did a couple Final Fantasy/Bearoesque ones. Don't throw them up on the main post, because I want to keep them sufficiently esoteric, but they're up for grabs by (almost) anyone, just say something here or send me a PM;
Some cute stuff. Ron should be happy methinks.
Sadly it looks like I'll have to transfer them to my server since your host is failing big time. Can you put them all in a zip for me and PM me the URL?
Cool. I'll wait to hear from you.
Sent and done.
Scream if someone is wrong or something is missing.I've got over 680 avatars in my avatars folder, having done the majority myself one way or another, and looking back on them is like flipping through yearbooks (or at least how I'd imagine it'd be to flip through yearbooks); But more importantly, it tends to get a bit messy in there.
*clears some cobwebs out of the ear*, "now how did that get there...?"
Cool. I got them. I'll try to get them online soon and update all the images shortly after.
For the Frog...
We have asked many times over the years. Anyway, if you really want one, the best thing to do is to make one and keep it in a txt file on your desktop and always paste it into your posts.
Test 1 (I need two posts in a row to compare the background hues on avatars)
Sorry for the spam, people.
Test 2 (I need two posts in a row to compare the background hues on avatars)
Can you have animated Gifs as avatars on the forum?
*edit:
What!? Someone has given me karma! I am loved!
Sadly no. This is so since gif files are not allowed.
Regarding karma - show some love and get some in return and it works the other way as well.
