Might as well prepare now then:

Calling any and all avatarists! Fred is offering cake and/or dozens of hugs to the person who can turn his original avatar into a teacher sitting behind a desk. Preferably less scowly.

According to the thread name, November 21st to November 27th.

AKA Thanksgiving week in the ol' US of A.

I am also unsure of what to do for the week, if anything.

Pretty much.

It can be a job you've done, a job you are doing, or a job you hope to be doing.

Well, if it's the job we're currently doing, I am royally stuffed for this week. X_x

A job I've done would put me humorous deep in dish suds.
A job I'm doing would put a pencil in my hand.
A job I wish to be doing would leave me grasping a rocket firecracker Fireworks Rocket.
Or it would put me typing on a keyboard, wii controlers scattered about me, a fancy holographic monitor with lines of code floating by....

I wonder if Smuchmuch is still active? I haven't seen him or any new works for a while.

Rawhide

2011-10-18, 06:33 PM

While I suspect that some people will take the opportunity to be really out there with impossible jobs, I sincerely hope that most people will take it seriously and, if they choose a job they would like rather than one they have or had, choose jobs that they are actually trying to get and have a reasonable chance of obtaining. I personally think the week and avatars would be much better if this is the case.

Ask the boss? I mean, it doesn't sound especially harmful to me (although I'm just a random guy on the Internet), and those pictures would be worth their weight in gold (which isn't that much, but still).

Is the US, companies often allow workers to wear costumes for Halloween. Is that possible for you?
My immediate boss probably wouldn't have a problem with it, but the next level up are known pains in the unmentionables and joy killers, who have already published a list of criteria for costumes to be worn to work. Near the top of the list is "no wigs" and "no prosthetics."
So V is kinda out.
Which just makes me want to do it more.

You could take a picture with your V costume and Starbucks uniform outside any ol' Starbucks and pretend that's your workplace? Not nearly as awesome, but it also shouldn't get you fired.

Ceric has the right kind of idea. Dressed up and not at work or dressed up outside of work/alternate store.

There's another option I've thought of, have you considered asking one of your bosses or alternate store bosses to allow you to dress up and come into the store on your own time when the store is not too busy purely for the photoshoot?

I have two ideas for my avatar and I can't really decide, so I would like to hear some suggestions/opinions.

1) It is Zabuza with reaching for a Giant wrench in his back with one hand and a screwdriver in the other

2) Zabuza looking confused at some blueprints with some random machine parts scattered through the floor, with the giant wrench in his back.

So what do you think?

Computer science has some of the most colorful language of any field. In what other field can you walk into a sterile room, carefully controlled at 68°F, and find viruses, Trojan horses, worms, bugs, bombs, crashes, flames, twisted sex changers, and fatal errors?

I skipped the crash because it would take forever to make, and the twisted sex changer because I have no clue what that could look like.

Probably, considering it would be political.

Unless there actually comes a political message with it, I'd argue that it's hardly political enough to be a problem. Given, you most likely have a better grasp on the nuances of the rules than I have, but I'd argue that a propaganda picture without the written message is just an idolised deptiction of whatever is on the picture (assuming that it's a glorification of yourself and not a mocking of your oponents), and I just love the esthetics of the good old propaganda posters, even in those cases where I don't agree with the message.

I would be sad if I learned that the whole art form is banned (but I'd accept it nevertheless)...

Serpentine

2011-10-24, 07:08 AM

Yeah, I'd find it very unfortunate if just an art style was banned...

Rawhide

2011-10-24, 07:25 AM

I'm sure you'll find something in the Hall of Fame (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37653). While you're at it, don't forget to scrub the various Cistine Chapel and Last Supper entries - mostly in Fine Arts, but also elsewhere - what with all the religious iconography and that, and all angel and devil-themed avatars for the same reason. And most of BRC's perfectly harmless avatars too, of course.

I'm sure it's obvious, but officially registering my extreme distaste at this proposed policy, and hope that you'll at least discuss it with the other moderators before attempting to enforce it.

It is not a proposed policy, it is an existing policy. Any form of real world political discussion or material, including avatars, is expressly prohibited on the forums. People have received warnings and infractions for it. BRC's former username was even changed (in part) because of it.

Can you please report specific instances you feel may violate the rules. Please use the report function and clearly indicate which exact instance you are reporting and how we can find it. We will review the reports and make further decisions on specific instances.

Serpentine

2011-10-24, 09:16 AM

An art style or reference to a famous artwork is not a discussion.
No, because I don't think any of them violate the rules, and I certainly can't be bothered trawling through pages of image-heavy threads on my dodgy internet for reasons I strongly disagree with.

Scarlet Knight

2011-10-24, 09:43 AM

I sympathize with the mods, but you've hit on a problem facing many history teachers: How do you teach 20th century Russia without communism? Asian art without Buddism? Or Renaisance Europe without covering the Catholic Church of the day? There is at least one avatar with a crusader cross on it. Is it religious or historical? It is a puzzlement.

Rawhide

2011-10-24, 10:27 AM

This is not the place to discuss this, any further communication about this in this thread will be deleted and may result in a warning or infraction. If you wish to discuss the matter further, please send me a PM.

Morty's request for an avatar in the Soviet propaganda style for work week because it would be "appropriate" is specifically disallowed, as would any similar requests.

An art style is not in and of itself inherently political. However, the Soviet propaganda style is so closely linked with political propaganda and/or political commentary that extreme precaution to ensure that you will not be breaking the rules must be taken before using that style on this site. If you are in doubt on a specific piece, check with a moderator before posting.

Likewise, a picture of a chapel is not inherently religious on its own, but a depiction of a chapel may be religious depending on the depiction. A depiction of the last supper, however, will quite probably be religious in nature.

We are not omnipresent, we do not see everything that happens on these forums, we require you to bring it to our attention so that we can make a ruling on it.

Rich Burlew has stated, in his posts and by way of the rules, that he does not want any religious or political discussion (or other commentary) on these forums, even when they intersect with activities relevent to these forums, including gaming. They are, and have been, prohibited since before I started to use these forums.

Logically, the sensible thing to do would be to make up an avatar in the style, and show it to Rawhide before you start using it, so he can vet it and make sure it's inoffensive.

Okay, I think I know how I want to turn my avatar into a mechanical engineer.

My current avatar holding a large, unfurled blueprint in both hands and smiling as the designs are leaping out of the paper. Y'know, classic fantasy-story-objects-emerging-from-open-book (http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs15/f/2007/086/2/4/story_book_by_givre.jpg) kinda thing. But in this case, the objects are gears, pulleys, screws, and various (http://dunningrb.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/300px-free_bodysvg.png) other (http://web.ics.purdue.edu/~krousgri/me270/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/problem06_020.jpg) engineery (http://s3.amazonaws.com/answer-board-image/20071082029206332747216062250001643.jpg) things (http://s3.amazonaws.com/answer-board-image/20089151220536335707805336012505574.jpg) if you are feeling particularly inspired. Basically, any of the bits and pieces off of this chart (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/ab/Table_of_Mechanicks%2C_Cyclopaedia%2C_Volume_2.png ) would be fine.

I would lastly like the staff to remain somewhere in the picture. I don't care how. But if it's too difficult to implement then that's fine too :smallsmile:

...I would love that as an avatar, but I'm guessing it won't fit. In which case, can I get it as a sig banner? I'll probably continue using the banner after the week's over :smallredface:

KenderWizard

2011-10-26, 06:11 PM

I don't usually do these because I don't have time to make new avatars all the time and I feel kinda bad asking other people to do them for me, but since the week in question includes my birthday and I'd absolutely love to show off my geology cred, could someone please do a geologist kender wizard?

I'm thinking tough-looking boots, toolbelt with hammer and coloured pencils or else holding a hammer, maybe holding a rock? If someone's really interested in doing it, they could change the wizard robe into a hiking-style raincoat, or put her with a microscope. Or wherever the muse takes you, along geological lines, with her colour scheme. :smallsmile:

Something like Zabuza looking confused at some blueprints with some random machine parts scattered through the floor, with the giant wrench in his back.

Please:smallbiggrin:

I'll consider doing it once I figure out how to make my own school-related avatar work out the way I want. Do you have a particular subject in mind for said teacher?

Sorry Rainy, didn't notice the reply. Urm, history would be preferred, but mathematics and science are fine too. :smallsmile:

My work avatar would be a homeless person my current avatar is a navy blue button up shirt. Which is kindof boring. I'd have to go back to one of my previous jobs to get something humorous. (Examples: Comic book guy from the Simpsons version of my avatar, my avatar in a McDonald's uniform, etcetera. Dark times in Creed's life, folks.)

All the women I see in Skyrim are either blonde or brunettes. Hardly see anyone with black hair.

I'll do my Work's avatar on the weekend. Given that there's no way I could convey my actual job via a succubus without breaking my brain, I'll go with something in the same sort of field.

2011-11-17, 10:37 AM

My work's one isn't up yet Pika (*cough*oractuallydoneyet*cough*) but the theme is your normal avatar doing your job or a job you'd like to do. My one will be The Succubus in a nurse's uniform, for example.

The Succubus

No, I've been waiting long enough, the week starts tomorrow.

and what is a couple? I've done avatars in one day, how many is this "couple" that could take a week?

Rawhide

2011-11-20, 08:00 PM

I certainly wouldn't do it solely for the sake of my avatar, though it would be a huge disappointment (especially as I promoted the idea after it was suggested), but there are at least two avatarists I know of that have a huge backlog and haven't finished many avatars for various people.

How does everyone else feel about moving it back a week? For and against.

TheCountAlucard

2011-11-20, 09:58 PM

Haven't got one myself, so I'm fine with pushing it back a bit.

2011-11-20, 11:25 PM

Well, I still don't even have a response to my request, so I'm definitely for waiting another week.

I vote for delaying it;if it increases participation.

I'll just leave mine up an extra week and hope others join in.

Rawhide

2011-11-21, 09:56 AM

With that, I've decided to delay it to officially be on Nov 28 - Dec 4th. That doesn't stop people from celebrating it before the official dates, of course.

Post if you've got a work week avatar up and what the job is.

For me, it's a Network/Security Engineer working in a server room. Actual job I've had. Currently, I'm doing pretty much the same thing, but for multiple businesses as a consultant. The server work is mostly done remotely, so I'm very rarely physically in a server room.

My job is an audiologist but I had no idea what a succubus audiologist would look like, let alone how to avatarise one. So I went for something with a medical theme instead and came up with a "naughty nurse" style succubus with a huge syringe. Part of the inspiration was the Nyx from the Castlevania series, which looks pretty similar.
