OotS Style Art/Fanart Showcase II

[Alarra]

This be the place to show off your latest avatar creations.

And here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8732) is a link to the previous thread. And to kick things off...

[Sampi]

Further evidence the world is full of nothing but people who are better artists than me.

Yet you sport an award for first place in an IA contest. I'd consider that evidence to the contrary.

Oh, and very nice Dark Prince, Zanaril Taru. I like the transparent thingy.

Alarra, your style is ever unique and enchamnting. I especially like the leprechaun.

Well, I didn't get much response from the end of the first thread, so here's some of the same stuff, plus one additional thing I made for the military dress contest. From left to right: Magma mephit Arcane Trickster for Lankybugger, Professor Callan for me, Gnome reading Hume for AKAbait, Werewolf Dungeon Master for DM77 and a Giff Major for the military dress compo.

I like it very much! Though the hand holding the knife seems to be in a sort of odd position for knife-holdig.

[Calamity]

Change from my usual style:

Excellent work as usua! I especially like the hippo-thing umpani Giff Major and the wizard with the top hat. To tell the truth, I really can't see anything to criticize.

[Cresty]

I made a cool picture of my DnD group. It can be seen here: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/51084583/

Dammit. I wish I could get the hang of natural looking poses. Mine always look rigid and forced.

[Serpentine]

Feel the need to show off my spiffing new avi, made especially so I'll hopefully stop switching all the time. Looked better when I could zoom in, but oh well. 2nd attempt at Illustrator, btw.
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h287/serpentine16/Avatarables/Serpentine.gif

[Abardam]

That is pretty sweet, Serpentine. I like the scales and everything.

By the way, though. You've probably got your avatar set to the wrong dimensions, as it is blurry.

[LoopyZebra]

What Abardam said. Looks great, but it stretches when you made it your avatar.

[Sampi]

Yup, you need to set the size to 112 * 104. Otherwise, great work.

[kalirush]

Dammit. I wish I could get the hang of natural looking poses. Mine always look rigid and forced.

Start by using reference pictures... it helps.

That's really cool. The scales are spiffy. Nice!:smallsmile:

[Captain van der Decken]

Yeah, nice work!

For Lucky:

http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/6620/luckybg6.png

[Serpentine]

Dagnabbit, I thought it was still 117x117. Thanks for telling me, I was wondering why it was doing that.

edit: Right, think I have the right size now. For your viewing pleasure and my showing-offedness, here's a larger version.
http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h287/serpentine16/Avatarables/SerpentineLg.gif

[Sampi]

Oh, so that's the reason it looked so good. You've done a huge job in the detail.

Not many avatars would stand up to that kind of size. My hat's off to you, Serpentine.

[Serpentine]

And what nice hat it is, too.

[Dispozition]

My god Serpentine...You use even more detail than me...Are you trying to kill yourself or something?

But seriously, that avatar is sweet. The only real problem I can see with it is that the hair is solid black, I'd make it a slightly lighter black than the outline...Just makes it look slightly better.

*has been watching too much Naruto lately, this is the result*

http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i119/Dispozition/Kakashi.gif

I'm really not happy with it. The arms, hair and just about everything else looks off...I don't really know why though...

[Serpentine]

Did I mention it took about 7 hours, during which there were any number of other things I should have been doing?
I don't know Naruto, but I can't see anything particularly off.

[kalirush]

This is what all I've been doing lately, mostly for the IA thread:

Nazi Xykon:

Marcus Cole and Alyt Neroon:
http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j21/kalirush/marcusneroon.png

This all took waaay longer than I should have spent on it... but it was fun, and I'm pleased with how it came out.

[Simius]

Here's an avatar I did for a pm'd request:
http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/4148/deathstrokekp1.gif

<= And what do you think of my own new avatar? It was hard to make the fishbowl look realistic.

[2 Eyed Cyclops]

I like it Simius, the fishbowl looks really good.

[Korias]

Kakashi: Increase contrast between clothes. Its too dark.

[Rex Idiotarum]

http://img83.imageshack.us/img83/9084/pogopc9.png

Okay, while I try to find Flash again, I though I might dabble in MS Paint.

How's it look? I don't see why everyone thinks avataring is hard, you can get a decent one by listening to experts and paying attention to detail in a matter of minutes.

[ChimericPhase]

So I'm making this short mini comic as a birthday gift for a friend. He doesn't visit these forums so I'm pretty safe posting this here for some feedback!

I finally finished page one, It's kinda big, so spoiler...


http://img264.imageshack.us/img264/3694/marlisecret01kt4.gif



let me know what you think?

[Simius]

Nice work, ChimericPhase. Perhaps you can try to change the campfire's smoke a bit in the third panel, so that isn't exactly the same as in the first one.
Also, it seems strange that the last two panels are (partially) shaded, while the rest isn't.

maybe try to add some shading/texture to the bushes and the tree. They seem rather plain.

[B-Man]

Because I got bored (again)... voilà!

http://i68.photobucket.com/albums/i36/bman777/randomsword.png

I'll probably shade it later and make an avatar sized version.

[Serpentine]

Something I made for Call Me Fate, based on the name and stuff.

I'll probably shade it later and make an avatar sized version.

Sword = 'Teh Awesomes', wings = 'teh smalls'. Seriously...Great avatar, but the wings are just way too small...Unless you're basing that off 'haibane renmei' which I somehow doubt you are :P

Two of the cards I'm making for a card game:

http://img163.imageshack.us/img163/5568/cardgamety1.pnghttp://img474.imageshack.us/img474/8507/cardgame2pm9.png

Also, I need a bit of help. The Type tool in my Adobe Illustrator is messed up, and thus I can't write in it, so I would like to hear if any of you guys know a decent program where I can open an image, add text and save it without loosing quality. Free, prefferably.


EDIT: Not sure if it's OotS style so I'm posting in the other showcase thread, too.

[Bryn]

The GIMP (http://www.gimp.org) should help there. Free and open source. Make sure you install the GTK+ library thing as well or it won't work.

http://img472.imageshack.us/img472/595/warforgedttix1.png
I've made a second Warforged to accompany the one in my avatar. The one on the left is Thunder, my psychic warrior, the one on the right is Tanith, a Fighter/Barbarian/Warforged Juggernaut.

[ufo]

Oh, cool. Thanks Z-Ax!

Now I need a program for resizing without loosing quality :smallbiggrin: .

This was actually a proper sketch that can be found in the scraps of my dev art account, it's a back view though.

[Death, your friend the Reaper]

^ Just got to ask.

Is that a male elf or a female elf?

Looks slightly legolassy, so I was a bit confused.

Great work though :smallwink:

[Dispozition]

Female Human :P

I've only drawn about three non-Drow elves...I'm not about to start now

[Lykan]

Looks good.

Sorry for the lack of a compliment, but I need to post these things before I fall asleep. >_<

The following are some other things I did for homework, this time I had to draw a single picture for each of these vocabulary words I have this week/month/whatever. There was 20. I did 16. Enjoy.

Awesome work! ^_^

[NEO|Phyte]

I was PMed a request for a 'lobstrosity.'

http://img67.imageshack.us/img67/9426/lobsteraj8.png

I'm still not entirely happy with the body shape. Its certainly better than the body shape I started with, but it doesn't feel right for some reason.

[kalirush]

I love him! I just want to toss him into a boiling pot of water and eat him right up.:smallbiggrin: Him and his delicious little angry claws.

Although I think he has too many legs. Don't lobsters have eight legs, including their claws?

http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2006/07/060720-lobster-photo.html

[Rex Idiotarum]

Okay, here's something I did with Microsoft Office, more specifically Powerpoint. It's a littler long.

http://img519.imageshack.us/img519/9752/rexpowerpointhm0.png

Rex's synopsis: It's not really made for this as you can tell, the one major problem I had was the Snapping, which was about an 8th of an inch, and prevented any detailed work, unless you want to go really large in size, as you can see I had to do. Other than that, every line or shape that I drew was reset to default size and color, which got really annoying, really fast. Lines were impossible to modify after drawn, so I had to delete a lot. It's color and texture formatting are one of it's few pluses over a very few other things, and the Autosphapes are good for cheep magic effects. Although possible, I didn't bother to use the frames to animate this one.

Overall, I give Powerpoint a 3.5/10, but hey, it's not really meant for this stuff is it? If you're bored and want to try it, or doodling on your school paper is probably the only time I'd suggest it. If you have this, you'll have MS paint or something better.

Something I recently did for Saurous:

http://img125.imageshack.us/img125/5711/saurosvz7.png

I quite like cloak on this one.

[Lord Fullbladder, Master of Goblins]

There is at least one breed of orange/almost orange lobster in the ocean, Decken. I don't have a handy link, but it is true. I think. My memory is faulty at best.

This thread often makes me smile. I love this art.

[Captain van der Decken]

http://www.cbc.ca/health/story/2003/07/14/lobster_orange030714.html


Rayner didn't realize the chances of finding an orange lobster are about one in four million. This season he has seen almost 80.

So.. yeah. They are there, they're just really, really rare. I suppose.

everything seems right though maybe except for the feet (that'd really be difficult), i've watched a ton of naruto and kakashi is one of my favorite characters (well, next to rock lee and shino the bug guy). the thing is, kakashi has silver eyes, try adding that. oh yeah, most of the times, his eyes are only half open or like those things in anime where the eyes seem to be closed but they're just happy and they can see clearly.

That was only a rough-ish version. The arms are the things I'm really concentrating on...They look horrible!!

Thanks to Ceika doing a request (not for me) I kind of have a decent reference now :P

[Mr_Saturn]

That head....its just too round....yes im talking to you dis boy. Im starting a new trend, oval heads! Some guys look better in them. You should try it.

Edit: new avatar...as a leave for an undeterminate amount of time, but definately more than a week. Bye bye!

(its not really finsihed, i kind of rushed it....it needs some revisions on the bottom half...)

[Zynex]

so, oval is the new round eh?:smallamused:

although, it does seem like it would improve the kakashi look if it were less circular and more oval.

Don't mind me too much though, am just a spectator among craftspeople. just admiring the works, that's all.

[Sampi]

Two new ones I've made:

A sea turtle for Raldor and an orc vampire for Vampiric.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sampi/Avatars/raldor.png http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sampi/Avatars/vampiric.png

[kalirush]

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j21/kalirush/utgarde.png

Picture of my husband's Shaintar (a Savage Worlds game) character, made mostly because I was playing around with my newly acquired Inkscape program, and wanted something to draw that I didn't have to think of myself. Look, not in avatar dimensions!

[Mysticaloctopus]

My avatar, and this is the larger version (slightly smaller than the size I made it at). I've sorted the face out in the large one, so it no longer needs to be a green glowy orb, but I'm too lazy to go into the small one, make the same changes, upload it and change the link in my profile.
Edit: I've fixed some of the problems with it, should be a bit better now. Most noticeable is the shading on the clothes, which is now a lot less sloppy
http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/528/haxshinigamibankaimedqb8.png
No points for guessing who I nicked that mask from, the character is just an idea I had after watching too much Bleach.

[Calamity]

That's awesome mysticaloctopus. Psst: The bigger version shows all the minor faults! When avatarized it looks coool though. One problem is that the feet and hand holding the sword need to be thickened.

I got bored and made this with Inkscape/Paint.NET/Fireworks:
http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b249/Photouser_/LightAnimation.gif
It's my very 1st animation (Except for the crummy one I did at school when we were taught how to use Fireworks)! Be nice!

@V: Nope, just Fireworks, I tried Flash at school and I was like all "Woah, how does this work? I'll just stick to my nice simple Fireworks"

[Rex Idiotarum]

You have Fireworks, which means you probably have the whole Macromedia set, get to work on Flash.

[NEO|Phyte]

<--

I felt the need to do it.

[Mysticaloctopus]

Haha... Another classic Rex avatar there! But... who let him out of his straightjacket and how did he get the shampoo?

[Rex Idiotarum]

Moreover, how am I lathering without a water source nearby?

[Mysticaloctopus]

And you've got that, um, wonderful hat on... Unless that hat contains a decanter of endless water, or possibly some very special rod of wonder that does whatever the owner wants, as long as their mind is utterly insane and able to produce random operations for it at will. I wouldn't put it past a madman to have tried both of those, and given the weird arcane thingammies in the normal Rex avatar, item creation doesn't seem too far off.

[Rex Idiotarum]

Hm, reminds me that I have to write the story behind my normal Rexatar.

As for the hat, it has the magical power to keep the sun and his hair out of his eyes.

[Were-Sandwich]

I just remembered. Is LostinBritanny still active? He owes me an animation tutorial.

[DarkCorax]

I know it isn't OOTS-style, but it could still do with thicker lines. Also, I think the guns are far too small. Apart from that, nice work!

[Were-Sandwich]

Thanks. I thought the guns should be bigger too. The lines will probably be thicker in the comic, I'm still trying to get the style down. I'm doing the faces in a style similar to Julian Opie, using economy of line (a style Rich Burlew took to new levels). Art lessons come in handy some times.

[Mysticaloctopus]

Nice! I agree that the lines should be a bit thicker, at least the outlines, and the guns are a bit small, but that's awesome! It reminds me a bit of Malcom Reynolds, and so it's instantly made of win. I've never had art lessons beyond the required ones at school, it's a nice subject but I suck at most art and you can't use any digital work as your final pieces - so it'd be no art grade for me if I took art, and I'd have to buy a laptop and carry it to school... So I have to rely on the internet to teach me stuff.

[Captain van der Decken]

Sweet.

I did a couple of vampire requests, and liked them enough to want to do my own:

http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i311/ChimeraHybrid/My%20avis/Kalar.gif

The next thing is yet another project for school I made. It sucks, so sue me, but it's 3 friggin 30 in the morning, and I needed to draw an ad for a made up product.

New avatar, this one is up for adoption.

And a big version, because anything HK-47 needs this line.

[Nerzi]

Not really OotS style, but I guess this sorta counts as fanart, non-stick figure Sabine.
http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u19/NerziP/Sabine.jpg

Don't expect any more art from me, I'm awful at drawing and art in general, even stick figures.
This one pic is a complete fluke and I didn't actualy draw the picture myself, it's basicaly just a friends display pic who asked me to simplify it from a photo of herself into something more 'computer-art'.
Sorta noticed as I was doing it that it sorta looked a bit like Sabine might as a 'real person' so thought 'why not' and went ahead and did a recolour to see how it'd look.

Pic I did for her with her real colouring (I think my awful portrayal of her nose offended her):

[Were-Sandwich]

Could someone help me out with hair? I can do the Elan/V parting, and sort of do anime hair, but I really can't get anything else right. Help?

[Dr. Bath]

so what kind of hair are you having problems with in particular? hair in general is a bit of a broad topic

[Were-Sandwich]

Everything except the afforementioned two types.

[Calamity]

That's a really wide topic, there's different techniques for different hair styles.
Looks like I got lazy with my current avi lol.

[Sampi]

Hair. Some tips:

One. Hair is not at the same level with the skull. If you draw a circle for a head, make the hair go up from said circle.

Two. Hair is not uniform. Add small bits of dangling hair, strands falling on the face and so forth - but don't go overboard.

Three. Hair reflects light funny. Look at people's hair. It tends to reflect in certain places, and not in others. This avatar is an example of a certain kind of reflection, a very typical one:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sampi/Avatars/maero3.gif
Note that the reflections are not uniform, nor a solid area of color.

Four. Shading hair is tricky.
If you shade, then make sure your hair is shaded by its form. Below is an example.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sampi/Avatars/AKAbait.png

If you need more information, please consult with more specific questions.

[Mysticaloctopus]

Or you can cheat and just go for head-stubble, a la :belkar: or this little caveman I just whipped up:
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s274/Mysticaloctopus/Caveman-Avvie.png
And I just noticed I forgot to make the outlines black. Whoops!

[Sampi]

Aye. Looking at OOtS, I see three different hairstyles.

One is the stubble as seen on Belkar's head. Another is the ruffled style of, for exaple, Hinjo. The third is the longer, smooth style as evidenced by Haley or Elan. Strip 429 (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0429.html) has good examples of all in the sixth panel (though a back view).

Note the first: Parts are common in the third style. These are evideced by a dip in the hair's silhouette in the part, and a line depicting the part in the hair.

Note the second: Stray hairs are also common. THese are lines of a medium thickness in the hair's color. Often seen on Elan's forehead.

Note the third: Black outlines for all (ecxepting stubble) is the OOtS norm. I personally tend to use the hair's own colour, but that's because I belong to the:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v443/Sampi/grandshadingcoalitionlodl6.png

(http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0429.html)

[AmberVael]

Shading doesn't require using the hair's own color for an outline, though it sometimes works better with certain people's styles.
The style I use when I shade an avatar certainly looks better with black outlines. Or at least I think it does.

[Rex Idiotarum]

I don't shade. It ruins the Minimalism. I've tried it, but I don't like it.

He's one of my characters in a D&D campaign. He probably looks a lot less intimidating than he should o.o

What about...

I fixed the lines, simplified it to OotS standards, and made the proportions a little more in line with them. =) Ha! ^^ This is fun.

Try resizing it to 117px squ.(standard board size), or 120px, if you want it a little bigger. Lines should be thicker. I suggest 2pt/px, or a little lower, whatever fits your style. Melikes.:smallsmile:

Ah! Urodivoi's back! I would tell you to get your butt over to the Request an Erfworld Style Avatar, but Dr. Bath has it pretty much wrapped up. Last time I checked.

All comments welcome and appreciated :smallsmile:

[Sampi]

Nice one for a first. For once the lines aren't too thin.

Except for the eyebrows, you can't really see them. Also, if you want headband, maybe you should put the eyes a bit lower. And maybe make them slightly bigger, too.

The palette could be clearer - use lighter colours for colouring, they tend to look better.

What programs are you using? I see the lines are not totally smooth, and I can give you hints as to that, depending on your tools.

[Rumda]

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h74/rumda/ethulisigbannermrk2.gif
any better?

[Dihan]

I'd avoid using black as a fill colour. If you must, use a light grey for the outlines.

[Sampi]

Yup, that's very dark. Go lighter, It won't spoil the effect.

[Rumda]

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h74/rumda/ethulisigbannermk3.gif
a lighter version

[Sampi]

Better, now make the clothing a bit lighter, too. Also, I'd suggest making the wing membranes even lighter than the rest - they're supposed to be thin, right?

[Rumda]

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h74/rumda/ethulisigbannermk4.gif

[Sampi]

Yeah, now you're going places!

Maybe eyebrows? Add some expresssion?

Also, the amulet could be more distinct.

Although, there is one tiny flaw I can see...All the eyes of the females are the same and all the male ones are the same. Not really a bad thing, considering the oots style, it's just kinda creepy...

It's taken me three days to get it to this stage. ^_^

I realise all the eyes are the same, all the female bodies are the same, and most of the male bodies are the same, and most of the female hair is also the same. Call it lazyness and lack of ability with creating hair. :smallwink:

Good try. You've got to make sure you shade it correctly from which ever direction the light is coming from. Threw it into Inkscape for a second to give you an example, the light source being the glow. I made it a little bigger so you can see where I put it.

Since it's originally your work, I'll take it down after you have a look.

Holy hoards, Doihaveaname!

Rumda, I noticed in all the constructive criticism you've received noone's actually told you how good it looks (>pointed glance at Sampi<). So. Man that's cool. Woo for big wings, even if you don't see them in the comic!

Got the pic, gonna take a look at Inkscape now.

[LoopyZebra]

I like the new Cyclops, Doihaveaname.

luneix, not to be presumptuous, but try lightening up the shadow at the bottom (atleast, I THINK it's a shadow). Took me like five minutes trying to figure out why he ended in an egg. Also, make it shadow-shaped. I'm going to assume that the head's oval shape and lack of outline are your style, but I think it'd look better with an outline. Same goes for other objects. I think the arms would look better if higher up on the body.

And here's something I made for Innis Cabal:

Here's my attempt at AI. Man that was difficult.

"Have a little priest! Have a little priest?"
"Is it good?"
"Sir, it's too good, at least."

And...err...that's a priest?

An evil priest. Not all priest are nice. (or, for that matter, living)

Ooh, I like! Part of the appeal is that it resembles my personal favourite character from anything ever, Black Mage evilwizardington with the yellow eyes, blue theme, evil grin and large knife.

I was just listening to a load of random things I have and for some reason, winamp took "random" as "Only play Bjork for an hour", so I decided to do this:
http://i154.photobucket.com/albums/s274/Mysticaloctopus/Bjork-Av.png
Bjork, in that legendary swan dress - it's the only way I could really make an avatar specifically Bjork (apart from the rather weird Homogenic cover), but sadly the swan head is kinda hard to make out at avvie scale. I just made this on a whim, and don't intend to use it myself, so it's going in my the now slightly larger pile of "up for grabs" avvies.

This next one I made but then forgot to post in the showcase thread.

An experiment in coloured outlines, one which I consider to have failed. Next time, they'll remain black. Also up for adoption, but probably going to remain that way for a long time.

My friends and I play Warhammer, the miniature battles game and I made this Goblin Fanatic for a friend.

Cats are always on tiptoe, hence cat-people also walk on tiptoe. This is a fact of life, just like how RPG heroes bob up and down when idling in battle.

Otherwise, those look awesome.

@Dis - As I said, those are some awesome wings and clothes.

I knew I was going to get that reaction...Although, because my screen brightness is down as low as it will go, that looks a lot like rejection :P

[Serpentine]

Aw, that's sad!
On a brighter note, a strange doctor for Dr Strange.

I don't think so: still 2 pixels too high. Nice avatar though.

@Dr. Bath: Wow, that's great. I love that Detritus although the Piecemaker is looker a little weird. It's supposed to shoot about a hundred arrows at once, isn't it?

[Mysticaloctopus]

I'd love that. Big discworld fan here, so I have to point out (forgive my pedantry) that the Piecemaker is a converted siege crossbow which now fires lots and lots of normal arrows, not one big one. Sorry for that, but my inner geek was screaming at the outer geek.

So I made my first try with inkscape. I'm pretty pleased with how it came out, and (how i always find my way through programs so quickly, too).
I noticed though the boots arent same height but thats easy to fix. What's really bugging me, is that the eyes are i think still too big and the lines are yet not thin enough.

Can anybody give me a clue how i can thicken the lines (one way would be push the anchor points together and then scale the whole thing up but maybe there is a function that makes the whole thing easier)?

Anyway i think im gonna call him Guy Redblade :wink:

Opinions?

[Ego Slayer]

Great, for a first try!

Firstly, little big. Try drawing in a 117x117px/pt box. ^_~

Second, lines. From the Object menu>Fill and Stroke>Stroke Style tab on the far right>2px/pt lines are standard for a 117x117 avatar.

[Serpentine]

Also, shoes are almost always different sizes in OotS, so don't worry about that. I think it looks great.

Thanks. That should help.

The sizes are intentional its just how i placed them. the smaller shoe is a little lower than the big one.


EDIT:
I made just another one this time i made it in 117x117, i also rounded the line ends and this time the lines are better.
It's my old fighter character Róka

I've been meaning to do him, but was unsure about what colours to use. Nice!

OK, this is random...I got the vine/leaf idea from elven armor pics.

My newest concept for a fighter character with a deserty nomad-style. I might draw him too.

[GolemsVoice]

Woo. Great respect, Dr. Bath. Maybe add the partrician? That would be awesome!

[Mysticaloctopus]

Agreed, First Doihaveaname and now Dr. Bath bring out amazing group-shots.
I have to say I also love that new one of Threeshades'. To me, desert nomad means one thing and one thing only - He Is the Kwisatz Haderach!

New sig banner for the Ninja contest:

[Abardam]

That banner is enough grounds for anybody not to vote for you. I mean, everyone can see you, clear as day!


:tongue:

[Sampi]

Ah, but that is what you think. In fact, what you can see is a clever guise of Vael. In fact, he is NOT where that banner is. The banner is on your screen, Vael is in Georgia. Therefore, he has nijariffically fooled your perception of where he is!

[Abardam]

Ye gods! He has fooled my senses with his ninja illusion trickery!

[AmberVael]

Actually, no matter where you look, I've got you. Because if you look at my banner, my avatar will get you while you're distracted.
Even if you look at my avatar and my banner at once, I'm still hidden in my spoiler as well. :smallbiggrin:

[Flabbicus]

But what if they disable signatures and avatar images?

[AmberVael]

...then I'll just be even MORE hidden, now won't I?

[Flabbicus]

... But the whole point of what you just said was that you always have a ninja picture ready to stab someone when they're distracted. Ergo, no sig equals no ninja image.

Anyways, nice avatars Threeshades!
