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)
Also, you guys suck for not having any fox images.
No doubt. Luckmann and Landisaurus are the shizzle to the snizzle in the community.
ok kitkun. I promise next piece of art I do for elemental fandom will either include a fox or be created along-side a fox.
If you want, we can claim the eye-ball in Gazing's avatar used to belong to a fox before it got all magical and crazy.
Party bear and party fox
As it should be given that Fox operates in a fantasy world.
Yeah, I have to agree with Spartan. That is not surprising at all.
True, true. It seems like everybody's canted to the right or left (but mostly right) these days. Where can a guy go to get actual NEWS anymore..... and I'm NOT talking about the "tot mom".
That quest also has a simple answer...
[wait for it]
.
The Internet silly!
During the US election, I couldn't turn on a tv or open a newspaper without hearing 'Obama is god!'
The division of political ideologies into left and right is a erronous and faulty system of categorization.
Well, he did win a landslide victory, did he not? Granted, we had some messianic overtones in various confirmed left-of-centerpublications *cough*NewYorkTimes*cough*, but we also had a lot of creepy Manchurian Canditate stuff from Fox.
I wish I didn't so love to aid and abet threadjackings...Anywho, before I get to the 'real' political stuff, I just want to point out that what landi says about forum karma simply points out that it's actually analgous to 'real' karma, and hence a cosmic mystery that all who care are doomed to contemplate without hope of a clear conclusion.
[quote who="Luckmann" reply="11" id="2222745"]The division of political ideologies into left and right is a erronous and faulty system of categorization. ...
Luckmann, I still have no idea whether your fascist patter in other threads was play-talk or serious, and that bothers me at least a bit no matter what the answer is. But whether or not you seriously admire murderous authoritarianism from the historical right, you are most definitely correct that those labels are decreasingly useful in modern political arguments. And I'm both surprised and pleased to see such a claim coming from the 'heartland' of Europe. If you'd like to continue a discussion along these lines, please post something in the Off-Topic area.
OK, hopefully that wasn't so much encouraging a threadjacking as offering a bypass...
Edit: There's another vexingly practical area where Luckmann and I definitely agree: quoting on the Stardock forums can be a real hassle and not worth the bother to attempt tidying up. I started with a quote from landisaurus, but attribs vanished and my first chunk of typing is embedded in the 'quote.'
woah, somebody's goin' deep. I want karma so I'm included in whatever karma related goodies Stardock might offer (namely admittance into the Gamma, or alpha if it becomes available to users) and it does serve has a fun sort of competition. I would like to imagine that the effort I put out does reflect well in 'real' karma if such a thing exists. And my studies into Quantum mechanics suggest it does (by "studies", I mean documentries I've watched. I'm not actually so educated that I can honestly say I've personally done research)
When it comes to how I give out forum karma, I try to follow the golden rule. If it looks like somebody spent time on it, I try to give it karma. Pictures, mock-ups (I should probebly give Tamren more karma on that note), or particularly extensive riding certainly deserves karma. I also give karma 'just cause' for things like... giving another cookie (to those I think might get the joke) or special numbers (like spartan's 100th karma is proudly one I gave. Even though he's got more than I do and doesn't need it XP)
All that being said, You had better give me karma GW
(you know, if you're going to post an edit to your post GW, you might as well edit tho 'quote' sections to work. Go into the HTML if you have to. just add "[" + "quote" + "]" and don't worry about all that "who="landisaurus" junk. If that still checks out, make sure you have the correct slash, which it appears you do. So lastly I'd say be sure to check for html junk. my rule on that is, if you don't know what it does... you likely don't need it, and use the "preview" button if you don't know html at all )
Let your actions speak for yourself, not your karma "score". Being useless like myself means no worries for such things. Destiny (or Lady Luck) will provide if it must be. Also, a system that doesn't allow to add negative karma and in which some people basicaly gives it for free according to different situations/interests = devaluated karma.
So... what was this thread about?
I was making a new avatar for myself (trying to level up here) when I decided to make some extra. Nothing fancy but better than nothing.
Channeler:
Cities/Towns:
World:
Mods for Elemental:
Creatures:
Edit: changed links from Photobucket to tinyurl.
I'm really not a fan of drow01.png (and hence very glad you changed your avatar!) because of the jagged edges, but other than that, I love 'em!
Edit: Especially map01.png
I'm still dealing with borders, which means I have to update/repeat some (like more than a dozen that lie here in a folder of my hard disk ). Glad that you liked them.
Thank you, Luckmann.
Some more animals:
Heroes:
Black border defeated me:
World locations:
The amazing flyman:
Dedicated to all those waiting for the alpha/beta:
For bears and amazons fans:
For foxes and amazons fans:
I might update the non-four elements avatars to have all the same but when making them it seemed nice to link them to their element (if I could guess it... bears have fire too? would be just earth?).
Edit:
Ops, forgot these:
[...]
Murderous Savage!
GOOD STUFF
2 options:
In any case, yeah, they are savages.
And here I was thinking I had already showed this one:
I still have some more but the art is not Elemental's and is more amazon related...
survival of the fittest. I'll be on wintersong's side. 2v2
(and my armor gives a bonus vs. fish)
