the frsit one looks better.

i just did a new one.

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o155/zegma/FlyingDarkEngery.png

[Ego Slayer]

Okay... Can I get an opinion on which of these two looks better?:

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

With Phobos in the background?

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

Or without?

I think the first one looks best. Maybe it's just seeing the second one without makes it seem empty?

[zegma]

i got my self a new one.

now this one comes with a story.

there was once a snowman. he lived very close to a very mean boy. one day that mean boy came up to the snowman and diceced to do soemhting bad. so he broke the snow mans arm. when he saw the snow gushing out of the stick he freaked out. so he ran away. the next day the boy passed the snow man again.he say that the snowman tunred blue. then he also saw that the snowman was alive.(ironc isnt it?) so he stared to run away. but the snow man floowed him yelling out, BRAINS!!! The next day the little boy was...... ( u make up what happens, lol.)

Yeah... I should have made him more toward the center in that one. :smallsigh:

*Cough*my wings*cough*

You said you'd change them a bit...I'm seeing the exact same wings, but a different colour...I don't mean to dampen your spirit, but if you could at least redraw them yourself?

@Lykan: The one without the shadow is better.

@Soulkinfe: Great serenity in the background. And is the tee-shirt a blue sun one? I can't really tell with the gun in the way...

[Pop Goes the Weasel]

Thanks! Here's the shirt:

[Dispozition]

Thanks! Here's the shirt:
http://www.threadless.com/product/452/minizoom.jpg

That's awesome...But they didn't use that in the show, I don't think...I would have noticed it if Jayne had of worn that...

[Ego Slayer]

Zegma, Dis... Yeah, I noticed the wings too.

¿¿¿:smallannoyed:???

Zegma, how about create your own unique wings and break away from the use of other's art/ideas?

[Dispozition]

I gave them too him with the idea that he'd change them...He said he would...seems he's just coloured them differently...I don't totally mind, but I'd at least like some acknowledgement...Those things took forever to make.

[zegma]

srry ill give creidet and i did have some that were changed, i put the worong wings on ill fix that. but right now i have to do soem homework, so ill do it as soon as possbile. im srry.

ill take the ones with the wings off so no one can see until i change them.

[Pop Goes the Weasel]

No, the shirt is from threadless.com.

[Mr_Saturn]

I spent a long time on this avatar, submitted to the IA undead contest of course. :smallamused:

Ok...Most of them are IA entries, except the second one in, which is a request for Amotis. What's everyone think?

I felt the same way about it.

The first one doesnt fit too much with the contest.
The second one reminds me of some sad story of two lovers who talk through a crack in the wall.
The third one....i like the lightning :smallsmile:
The fourth one is all-around cool :smallcool:

1. Yeah...I might take it out...Although, it's still the reaper.
2. Not quite what I was going for, but good none-the-less.
3. Don't we all?
4. Hence why it's my avatar :smallbriggrin:

[Myatar_Panwar]

Well, I just started reading Dragon magazine, and the art in the issues is amazing! So I decided to try and do a oots style version of Lord Soth on the cover of the newest issue, #351:
http://i93.photobucket.com/albums/l67/Myatar/LordSoth.gif

I was thinking of entering him in the undead contest, but hes not technically undead, he's a death knight, but hes not undead. Plus, compared to all of you master oots drawer's entries(bad grammer), he wouldent stand a chance.

[zegma]

srry about that here are some new ones, im ganna draw my own later, so i wont use ur template, what i did in this one was add the lines going left to right on the wings, and a made some lines shorter and and i got rid of some lines. ill make my own later.

heres the new one.

[tape_measure]

The second one reminds me of some sad story of two lovers who talk through a crack in the wall.


I know it was William Shaksepeare...I think it was A Midsummer's Night Dream. The play has in it, a group of actors who are working on a play, themselves. In it, a man plays a wall from which two characters speak to each other. There's a lot fo fussy memeories in there...but I think that was the gist.

[Captain van der Decken]

@Myatar: Uhh.. Death Knight is an undead monster in D&D.

[Myatar_Panwar]

Hmmm, oh! My bad, here it is:
http://realmshelps.dandello.net/cgi-bin/mainlist2.pl?Death_Knight*

Thanks for the clarification Decken. After reading Soth's background, I wasnt sure if he was undead or not. Because they didnt hint at it at all, I just assumed it was a prestige class or something. So thanks again :smile:.

[zegma]

this realy isnt an avatar un less u woudl say the guy is invasable, then it would be. but i just wanted to know what u guys thought of these wings???

http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o155/zegma/Wingmodel3.png

I do like those wings. They seem somewhat buglike or maybe undead and broken. I dont know, but I like them. Very nice.

thx. the good thing about them is this.

i color them black there undead.

i can chaged the color to just about macth any thing.

[Myatar_Panwar]

Ahhh, yes! Thats the word I was looking for! Fairy wings! But actually, that pale blue color is quite undead.

[zegma]

That's pretty good.:smallsmile:

The 'standard' board avatar size is 117 pixels square but 120 works too. You used MS Paint, I assume. If you plan on doing more I'd suggest InkScape, IMHO.

That's not bad Maurog, but it looks a little odd. Not sure why exactly.

Yes he is undead, I figured that out yesterday. But I really dont know much about him, I'll have to read up. But was he even introduced somewhere else besides the new Dragon (I dont know much about Ravenloft)?

[Mr_Saturn]

The eyes are too big, put some space between them also. Elbows will fit nicely. Make the arms and legs a little more rounded. Otherwise, keep on going nicely.

Thanks for the advice :)

I will take that into account when I'm going to make more (a.k.a. tomorrow)

EDIT: Actually, i know about the eyes, it's a habit from a webcomic i made before.

[Francois_C3PO]

No prob'. I saw that you already did and that's why I posted my drawing in this thread and not the other one.

You're acting a lot like a pro now, offering advice left right and center...I might have to start working hard to be the best sodipodi avatarist again...*sigh*

A recent request:

tape_measure now has two more avatars made by me.
http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/Yitsockl/yellowcleric.gif and http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k125/Yitsockl/chrisRoss.gif

The second one is supposed to be wearing a beatles t-shirt and a flannel shirt on top.does it look like that? :smallconfused:

[Lykan]

Yes. Yes it does... Very well done, my friend. :biggrin:

Oh, I never got an opinion on this... I feel there's something missing, and I can't quite place my finger on it...

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

He's supposed to be short. That's not the issue. :yuk:

The shoulders look kind of funky. You might be thinking that it is missing a sleeve. The shoulder (pads?) dont seem to do a very good job in replacing the other sleeve.

The rest is great. :cool:

[Lykan]

I wanted to make an avatar with the horse dispozition gave me.

Didn't want to disappoint you dis by ruining your horse, so i had to make it cool. :smallcool:

[Lykan]

New avi! Whatchathink?

[Myatar_Panwar]

Me likey. Especially the crystal staff. Although the robe (?) bothers me for some reason. But who am I to complain, I'm horrible at robes (see avvie). And I'm guessing he's a Psion? (based on the crystal staff)

[Lykan]

It's not crystal, or a staff... But meh, doesn't matter. Yeah, Lykan the PC is an Ardent.

[Myatar_Panwar]

Heh, my bad. I guess it was the light kind of red you used that made me think it was crystal. It kind of makes it look... transparent-y, if you know what I mean. And once I thougt it was crystal, my thoughts immediatly went to the crystal stuff psion-type characters use. Thus I thought of the staff.

[Lykan]

Meh... It's alright, honest. You were close...

I thought I needed an upgrade with this avi... Personally, I think it looks better then the last...

[Myatar_Panwar]

Um Lykan, you use Inkscape right? Well do you know how to change what size your lines come out permanently when using the pen-like tool (the one that allows you to make curved and straight lines). You know, so you dont have to change the size every time you make a line? Mine is set on 5 and I always have to change it to 2.

[DarkCorax]

You know, so you dont have to change the size every time you make a line? Mine is set on 5 and I always have to change it to 2.

While i'm Not Lykan :tongue: I know how to do this. Draw A line with the tool, and change the thickness and whatever to what you want it to be as standard, and select the line. Then press Ctrl+Shift+P and click on the "Tools" Tab, Then the "Pen" tab and select the "This tools own style" option and click on "Take From Selection" and it should keep the settings of the line.

[Lykan]

How did we get to this conversation? I've been using Inkscape for more then half the year now, I know how to use it.

Besides, I make the lines different thicknesses on purpose.

[Myatar_Panwar]

Ummmm, I was just asking you how to set the line thickness, I wasnt commenting on your lines or anybody else's. Oh and thanks DarkCorax, that should save me quite a bit of time.

[B-Man]

Because I'm feeling particularly festive this year, my Christmas avi reflects my feelings this Holiday season:

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

[tape_measure]

alright. First and foremost, I really don't myself as an avatarist, but I would really like to give it another shot. Here's the first three shots in the dark I made:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/tapemeasure/Mez2.gif
Drow Judicar
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/tapemeasure/LEbby.gif
Lebowski of..The Big Lebowski
http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/tapemeasure/Genther-1.gif
Paladin of Bane

with that said, I coudl really use some pointers from some of you more adept artists out there. A while back (last weekish?) Darkcorax requested an avatar adn thought to myself: 'Gee, self. You got nothin' to do 'til January, why not give 'er a go again, eh?' Of course, myself nodded and we set to it, once more. This time:

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b63/tapemeasure/darcorax.png
I made a few modifications on old themes. I'm still playing with the mystical magical fiery crap, so I'm relly not likin' it too much. That nad boots are kind of annoying. Any other suggestions?

[Dispozition]

I wanted to make an avatar with the horse dispozition gave me.

Didn't want to disappoint you dis by ruining your horse, so i had to make it cool. :smallcool:

You see...With you around, I worry about my future as an artist...That horse is kick ass, literally...It could kick my ass anyday. You have given me an awesome idea for an avatar though...

Dont worry, right now i have stopped sodipodi an am trying to draw on paper.

And im looking forward to that awesome avatar :wink:

Oh, and if i retire from avataring....i would pass on my secrets to you. :smallamused: We need someone to represent the sodipodi pride. :smallamused:

[Sajhiri]

Hi folks! I have a couple fanart pieces in the "sprained wrist theater" section of the site, but last Christmas and this Christmas I did iron on transfers of OoTS style art of our tabletop teams for our players. I thought I'd share, as the guys wear them with pride as they are all huge OoTS fans.

Hi folks! I have a couple fanart pieces in the "sprained wrist theater" section of the site, but last Christmas and this Christmas I did iron on transfers of OoTS style art of our tabletop teams for our players. I thought I'd share, as the guys wear them with pride as they are all huge OoTS fans.

Awesome work :smallwink:
I wish i can draw like that...

nice, althotuh the arms on the frist should be a little bit thicker.
But still its good. its better then my frist trys. what program do you use?

[Exachix]

Inkscape, and then GIMP to make the background transparent.

[AmberVael]

A word to the wise:
Now that we can use Pngs for avatars, there is no reason to use that evil program appropriately named as 'GIMP.'
Just use the Export function of Inkscape.

Another word to the wise: Not everybody has an internet browser with full PNG support, IE for axample doesn't support PNG transparancy.

[Exachix]

WHAT? But but but.... I liked the Gimp for re-sizing too...

[AmberVael]

And that is why IE is evil.

Wait a moment, I just opened IE and looked at one of my avatars that I KNOW is a PNG, and yes, it was on something other than a white background. It was transparent.

IE7 supports pngs, while IE6 didn't. It still isn't as good as Firefox, though.

Techpriest Critique:
-Good shadowing. However, the shadow on the hood bugs me. There is too much curve in the shadow where it transitions from shadow/light.
-The symbol is on his little brown collar-thingy is well made, but since he seems to be turned slightly, it might be best if you didn't make the symbol look like it is facing the viewer. Or you should make him look less turned away.
-I would make the two different blue tubes distinctly different. As it is they kinda blend.
-The boots are too... straight. Face them more towards the viewer.
-The object sticking out on the left side of the picture (under the priest's right arm) looks VERY 2D. Not so good with the overall effect you have been creating.

Now note that I only get this nitpicky on things that I really like.
You did an awesome job. *much praise*

[Bryn]

Thanks muchly for the critiques...

You're right about the 2D-looking servo-arm thing, but since one of the arms goes along the rough path of the light it is hard to shade it. The other one was easier to light. Do you think adding lines to make them more box-like would help?

You're very much right about the boots, I re-used some old ones - they're not even shaded.

I'll try skewing the symbol a bit, you're right that it should be turned away. I'm planning to redraw it anyway, there are some problems with line thickness that need addressing. Unfortunately, I have already used it in a comic, but comics can be updated.

Good point about the blue tubes. I'll sort that out.

Nice work, I can't decide which version I like more.

Only thing is the bow - shouldn't the strings be straight, as they're stretched?

Well, I wanted to draw it so that the arrow was drawn and he was ready to fire the arrow. I had a wee bit of difficulty trying to draw the bow intially. I think that after this, I'll stick to hand-held weapons. Not bows and arrows. I'll try and fix up the bow later today. (I still have to get out of bed to celebrate the holidays with my family, seeing as I'm the only one up at the moment)

[Bryn]

I don't mean that they're not pulled back, I mean that since their stretched the strings would likely form two straight lines to the end of the arrow and back to the bow.

Like this:

Those two caused me the most trouble... the Kel Dor just cause he is complicated, the duros because I started out by drawing the wrong species (these are characters in a campaign & I simply misremembered) I then coloured him wrong due to a poor picture in the d20 Starwars handbook.

It was not exactly accidental... Just trying to take as many cues from The Giant as possible. The trandoshan was the first of those picts I did though. (no its not just because I have a kobold fixation.)

The body looks a little small, and the hands are a little spread out, but overall a nice job. My advise for the hands is to make a semi-circle and stretch it some into an oval rather than drawing freehand.

@Kimana: A new artist, unless I've missed noticing you for a good year now, which I doubt. The picture is realy good, but the explosion looks more like a giant dust cloud than lava and fire...

New artist, not so much a new board member (I lurk...a lot...I like my pixie status)...my original av was in the same style, but really shoddy looking, so instead of refinding it, i made a new one

Well, it is not supposed to be lava and fire, it's supposed to be an ash column/cloud (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/PlinianEruption.html), or a soon-to-fall-and-flow pyroclastic flow (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/PyroFlow.html). You are thinking of fire fountaining (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/LavaFountain.html), different sort of volcano. Kimana likes the Mt. St. Helens (http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Volcanoes/MSH/Images/may18_images.html) and Vesuvius (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Vesuvius)sort better (stratovolcano (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/stratovolcano.html)), as that is what her home mountain (Sangertiq) in the RPG I play her in is. The other kind she can mess with, but shield volcanoes (http://volcanoes.usgs.gov/Products/Pglossary/ShieldVolcano.html) like Kilauea in Hawaii (http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/gallery/kilauea/volcanomovies/) aren't really her style. :smalltongue:

It's also hell trying to resize it to 120-120 pixels when copying into Paint. :smallmad:

Well, if they are knives, i think knives dont have the guard between the blade and the hilt.


These are some recent requests I have done. Í think they're rather good, but I'd still like a bit of criticism.:smallwink:

The only thing i can notice is that the wings feel slightly off. Maybe if the top of the wings were curved inwards a tad. But its still rather good. :smallwink: I like the gradient on the bald guy's head. :smalltongue: shiiiinnnnyyyy

Here's something I made of my ranger character. It didn't convert well from .svg to .png..Any comments?

[Ego Slayer]

Heh...The funny thing is, these wings are the only good ones that took less than 10 minutes to get right...And only two tries...
Takes me just as long.:smallwink:

Nice ranger there, though I'd make some lines abit thicker.

Here's me latest:

What d'ya think?

[Bryn]

I like it. Maybe we should form a Coalition of Avatarists Who Shade...

It reminds me of the warlock, 4th character along in my sig. Just better, and more vampiric.
Only criticism would probably be the flame furthest to the left, which gets thinner and then thicker - although this could happen IRL it doesn't really look right.

[The Orange Zergling]

Alight... so after installing and toying around with AI:CS2 a bit, I came up with a Dark Templar from Starcraft... accuracy isnt really what I'm going for at the moment, mostly just learning transparencies and transparent backgrounds... still, comments would be appreciated. :smallsmile:

Could someone help me make up my mind?

[Pop Goes the Weasel]

I honestly don't see a difference.

[Bryn]

One of them has shading on the shield, the other doesn't.

I think the shading looks quite good, although without it the shield seems stronger. I really think they're about equal, neither seems particularly better... sorry, that's no help at all.

[Brianfowler713]

Here are my first reasonably successfull attempts with Inkscape.

I know they're too big, I'm working on this.:smallfrown:

[Bryn]

You need to make your lines a lot thicker. Heads need to be larger in comparison to the body - the body should be as tall as the head and half as wide. Apart from that, well done for a first try.

[Pop Goes the Weasel]

Ahh, I see.
I say go with the non-shading one, because shading is EVIL!

[Abardam]

The one with the shaded shield is kind of... off. Because the rest of him isn't. Shaded, I mean.

[Simius]

well, it has no shading, which is good.
But your proportations are a little bit off. The head's too small, the body too long. The eyes are too close together. I advise you to look good at the Giant's art and try to imitate a few of his characters. I think that's the best way to learn using stick proportions.

Even if you werent trying to copy rich's style, the rectangles seem rough and choppy. The ends of the arms and legs could use some rounded ends. The way the arms bend is unnatural. Oh, the feet are too long (at least for the goblin.)

Yeah i basicly am not really concentrating about the rectangles as the "wrongness" is hard to see at basic avatar size. I'll see to that in the future :P

Still looking for a fix to that problem (about the arms and legs)

Are the arms bend in unnatural ways?

About the feet, they screwed totally for the goblin :P

[Jack Squat]

About the feet, they screwed totally for the goblin :P

No they aren't. Sure they're longer than most people's avatars, but that's just style. My feet are longer than normal, but I like the look better, so it stays. When it comes down to it, the way you draw is up to you, it doesn't have to please everybody.

The arms and legs are a little unnatural, try reversing the curve (convex instead of concave) and make it a sharper curve if the arm isn't supposed to be at rest. That gives the appearance of elbows and not a curved arm.

I wonder what drawing program you use. Most would have an option for rounded ended lines.

The arms should not be bended in towards the body (as jack said).

About the goblin ears (too lazy to quote :P), they got off when resizing it from 200 X 200 size.. that MIGHT be the reason that the body-shapes are a bit off too.

hmm, well using this (http://www.legion-fourteen.com/reduced%20image.jpg) as a reference pic, the shield's too small and the armour and clothing could be a little more detailed.

Also, the body's a little long, head's too small (although that could mostly be the body being too long), and the skirt could be longer; oh, and the javelin should proabably be placed behind the hand.

Which one is the best?

The first one with the wings down is the best. I think having each and every feather drawn individually is too much. A more general outline with 2-3 extra layers of feathers. Too many lines for a stick avatar. Stick avatars dont have that much detail. Sometimes you need to draw a line for where to stop (pun intended).
