Dear Gunnerkrigg forum co-dwellers, Many of you are skilled in humorous GC-related image editing, and love GC-themed avatars. So, I thought of a artistic challenge that combines those two. Goal: modify the default ProBoards avatar in a way that it becomes Gunnerkrigg-themed. =>  It can be subtle edits, it can be bold changes, but it must still be recognizable as stemming from the default avatar. The idea is actually inspired by two of the forum members who have already done this with their avatars: kralex and keef I hope you like this idea! |

Okay, let's try this ... This one is the best. Just move the band more to the top of the head and it's golden. |

This is excellent  I really hated the original avatar when I had it. I wonder how they got the original default avatar anyway :? |

    Annie needs some more work but I'm happy with the rest. By the way, I challenge you guys back to come up with superior parodies of the Proboards badges banner ads. This is excellent I really hated the original avatar when I had it. I wonder how they got the original default avatar anyway :? Committee. Low-quality products and advertising are usually the result of groupthink made by a committee. |

Committee. Low-quality products and advertising are usually the result of groupthink made by a committee. Action Item 1: determine vendor's price range. Action Item 2: pick cheapest one. End meeting. |

 ![]()      I also fixed my early effort at Antimony. Now if you put her and Kat side-by-side they appear to be looking at each other. Right after Kat proved she really could make meth in lab. Committee. Low-quality products and advertising are usually the result of groupthink made by a committee. Action Item 1: determine vendor's price range. Action Item 2: pick cheapest one. End meeting. Heh. I've had experiences in the public and QGOs that make that seem like a pleasant dream. If this were a general discussion forum I'd go on a 10,000 word rant... |

That fifth one is really strange, perspective-wise. Still good.

That fifth one is really strange, perspective-wise. Still good. That one's probably my fave so far. It helped that Ys is about the same color. He does not look happy to be in this thread, does he?  |

Oh, make the white border on that fifth one transparent or board-gray. Then it'd be perfect.

Also, to be an avatar is has to be no more than 150x150, so you'd probably need to lower the nose

I have gotten rid of the default white. The size change would be obvious with other icons beside it so I'm leaving that one the same size, but here is another one that someone could actually use.  |
