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)
@Wintersong - great stuff. I'll update the OP soon.
Karma given.
Its' true. Luckmann has bears
Unless you can prove without question that those pelts are from the animals that serve as totem to those tribes, I get a +5 Bonus against Fake Greenpeacers, added to my +4 Dork Armour.
ooo, thats a +9 total. Hard to compete with that. I can "Geek Attack" 3 times per day, one of which can be a "lang range geek attack". However, I'm sure your dork armor would protect you against it. (normally, a geek attack does charisma damage by association and/or contact with the geek delivering it. Howevere geeks and nerds are immune, and really high level geeks can actually get a charisma bonus from it instead)
Kitkun, go for his heels and kneecaps and I take everything above the waist!
+12 Rage unless you can prove it's not.
It ain't healthy for you to show me that stuff.
Updated.
woah, a Zubaz comment. not used to seeing you in here
No doubt. He must slum it sometimes...
I was WAY too tickled by the yeti. It was awesome! (and all alone without a background to edit out, as is the problem with the other elemental critters so far, this makes it much easier to edit into other stuff)
So here are some avatars!
If you're more a fan of the sasquatch
And because everything looks cooler on fire! here is a fire yeti (his loin cloth is human skin, btw)
as always, feel free to request something, especially if it is as simple as "I want a different background" or something like that.
edit: Damn you wintersong! it looks like you modified your own avatar to include the yeti before I finished creating all of mine, uploaded them, and created this post. I will not be shown up!
D'oh! In fact, as soon as I finished reading and posting in the FAQ thread.
@wintersong: you should have only include "water" and "wind" on the avatar ring, since I don't think the fire symbol should be on the avatar of "snow yeti" (that's just how' I'd do it. playful nitpicking)
I know but it's just to make easy recognition of my avatarshifting person: "Hey, dude with 4 elements avatar that I don't recognize. Must be Wintersong."
I'd go with Water and Earth. They are, after all, the two elements that create cold (someone correct me if I'm wrong).
Well, I'm a compeditive bastard.
So... here's another avatar, so *raspberry*
you know, I really like your style Wintersong. So I'm going to try it out
Man, that looks pretty good! Karma to Wintersong I say! I particularly like the elements surrounding it. I also like that Ariel. I like it so much, I'm doing the lest of them. In order (not including Ariel, because Wintersong already did that and I'm going to to be a total rip-off. )
So I hereby introduce. The MoM series!
Wintersong already created Ariel's avatar (remember to give wintersong the credit for the style)
I do have Ariel in my other MoM series collection....
Anyway, so I hope those big MoM fans (like me) enjoy the MoM Series avatars! Delivered in 2 different forms! both the "classic" and "wintersong" styles!
I was going to do that some time back, but I couldn't find a good collection of the MoM portraits.
Anyway, great work.
Thank you!
I planned to do it a long time ago too, but I'm lazy. I was motivated by dropping below 2nd place on the karma ranking after I fought so hard to obtain it
Do... you want a good collection of MoM portraits? I can give them to you. I'm tempted to go back and get the different faces (the happy and angry faces of each character)
Fork 'em over.
Good work, landisaurus! Man, you make me blush with so kind words about my "work". Specially when yours are better done.
Anyways, you can make an Ariel one. I have similars avatars done (I didn't "publish" them because I still have to do some Wizards) but I use the four elements on them so you need a life related Ariel there. I was trying to make Hero ones too but I still need to guess how to make them look good and at the same type feel the same as these ones. The creatures/troops one goes slowly slowly too.
(poor Spartan...)
Alright, but you had better love me, because I just now went back and re-copied all the pictures to have them in the original resolution to give them to you. (rather than what I scalled down to fit the avatars)
Here are the portraits from Master of Magic I used. I had to go make them by ripping them from the game itself, since like Luckmann, I could not find any remotely decent images. (perhaps it will help future searchers)
I created Master of Magic images in jpegs, which I have named for easy reading purposes. I collect them in a zip file that can be found here
(I'm not going to ask for a karma for each image in the zip file. but feel free to give me up to 14 if you want )
Huh, you're right. I thought I saw it in the list collected by spartan, but I now discover it was just a link to your current avatar (and thus has been replaced with the one you have now).
ok, here it is.
(I went ahead and added it to the list above, so ignore everything I said before about me not including her)
(don't "poor spartan" he gets enough karma from this thread to make up for the hastle of updating it )
Spartan - in the OP you should bold Wintersong's name like all the others. It's easy to miss that those avatars were made by him.
