This was a very clean, very nice-looking logo...

Hell...I'd like the logo just as a screen image (without the PPD).

Really nice design.

I might do something else later this week as well.

I love the art style, but find it visually overstimulating, not to mention confusing. Why is he kicking a fruit salad jello all over the sidewalk? And why is the ghost of Marlon Brando yelling at him all the time? These are not questions I should be asking myself when I casually glance at somebody's avatar.

Yeah, I gotta say, I never really liked animated avatars, I always found them too distracting. That's why I think mine's the best.

i believe he is kicking clockwork kings brain jar around and he seems to be enjoying kicking it around.

I like the avatars that use the engine's own graphics, because I resent the implication that the devs have any existence outside their in-game personae.

Thanks!

Last night I tweaked the design a tiny bit (the back star wasn't "aligned" right om my eyes). Now it is a bit "pointier" but at least a few flaws in the larger version are gone (The large star is now symetrical for instance).

Here is the fixed version, avatar size (transparent background). (original version above)

Here is the fixed vesion, avatar size (with both the hero and villain background so people can see what the final would look like).

Here is the fixed vesion in a larger size on the hero forum blue background. (original version above)

As to a version without the PPD, that is easy enough to do. 768x768 version, blue forum background

Honestly...these are great images.

Are you able to complete the shield (where there is the absence of the PPD emblem)?

Really nice stuff.

This gets my vote.

You mean the the lower left half to the upper right? should be simple enough, the only thing I'd have to do is hide a few layers and recreate the outer ring. The outer ring is really easy to do.

Last weekend for submissions, avatar's will be selected by Blue Steel this coming Monday March 31.

This is your friendly neighborhood reminder.

Why not be wordy?

Actually, I didn't design it. It was a freebie from another forumite. Truth be told I've had it for so long I'm a little tired of it, but I can't find anything I like enough to replace it (plus, I lost the stand alone image with my character stabbing himself in the head, which is what it was before it got animated).


Goodbye, I guess.

I've always really liked your avatar, Nightblade. I love the build-up to the shot of the head-stabbing.

If you gots image ready or something you can just pluck that particular panel out of the rest of the animation

Alas, I've only got MS Paint and no skill using it.

Believe it or don't, but I actually did my research before I posted and figured out that it was the King's head being kicked. (I still don't understand the ghost head though. Mental attacks?)

My point was that an avatar should not require research to understand.

I wouldn't say it required research. It's common knowledge Blue Steel beat the carp outta ol' CWK, and thats the reason he's reduced to a brain in a jar.

I didn't know that. Must not be all that common.
