Post 'em here and I'll see what I can do

1st up romeothemonk:

Request via PM

Monk with chicks

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/2005711215721_Monk1.JPG

I stole from Leisure suit Larry on this one. He said just have the girls back at a decent hour.

[romeothemonk]

That will work wonderfully for me unless the wife sees it. Then I will have to change it.

[Mistfit]

Awe common! that's PG13 at worst!

[romeothemonk]

I have a request for a forum picture. I would like a long hall full of books, preferably with a Franciscan monk wandering through them.

[Mistfit]

What size pic are you looking for?

[romeothemonk]

Something in the 100 pixels high by 2-350 pixels long.

[Mistfit]

Like this?

[romeothemonk]

Great. Thanks Mistfit.

[romeothemonk]

Now I just have to figure out how to get it to the forum front page. How did you get your's? Did a mod have to do that?

[Ville]

If you mean the forum "description", you should have edit button in right. Use [IMG][ /IMG] to link.

[Mistfit]

just put this in the description area. Note: I took off the beginning "[" so you could drag and copy the link

I don't know why but I thought of Whomp when I was creating this [lol]
http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/2005723203829_whomp1.gif

[Mistfit]

@ Whomp when you say "boat" do you mean speed boat?
http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200581603734_Speed.GIF

If you like it I can fix the flat spots on the right and the bottom

2 images melded together [coool]

[Whomp]

1st--No speed boats. As my friends and I would say "you know what they say about a fast boat"?....."fast boat".[rolleyes]
How about a pirate ship with a nice pirate flag?

2nd the other avvie you posted is almost the same you first made for me at CFC. Hehe. What do you think? Should I do that one?

[Mistfit]

It's not a ship but it is rather Pirate-ish [evil]

I like this one!

Thanks Mistfit!

[Mistfit]

I like that one as well! Good choice

[Mistfit]

Waddya think Whomp? You like the pirate symbol?

[Whomp]

Hmmm....I'm more of a boat than pirate....can you make a row boat with a pirate flag? That seems to fit better.

[Mistfit]

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200581822225_SSWHOMP2.gif

[Whomp]

Yeah. That's the one. Now to be a pain but can the flag wave? SS Massive? SS Super Jack?

[Mistfit]

Yes...but not today. I'll try to work on it this weekend :D

[Whomp]

Take your time! I have been a cow for awhile so no rush.

[Mistfit]

How about this? I tried to keep the file reasonable small so I only used 4 frames for the amination. I think it looks pretty good. What do you think?

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/2005820171637_SSMassive.gif

[Whomp]

Yeah boy!! Daddy likey. Now how do I get to use it?

[Mistfit]

I'll go post the request in the propper forum :D

[Mistfit]

I don't think I like it as well but I thought I'd post it here anyway. I added some moving water.
http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200582020654_SSMassive2.gif

[Whomp]

Thanks Mistfit. You never cease to amaze me with your creations.
I like the water but it would need a pirates eyes/hat peering over the side of the boat or sumpthin.

[Mistfit]

1st attempt for Tubby Rower - (my new officer!)

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/2005825211428_Tubs.gif

waddya think?

[Whomp]

Clemson Tiger. Seems to fit.

[Tubby Rower]

Awesome!!! Thanks Mistfit!!! You want me to use that over at CFC or is another one coming?? I was almost expecting a fat man trying to row a boat. But this is great.

Thanks again.

Tubby

[Tubby Rower]

PS. how do I make it my avatar here? There is no setting for custom....

EDIT::: http://clemsoncrew.org/ here is a link to see the blade design on the oars. I can't remember who is solid orange but ours was orange/blue divided into quarters.

[Tubby Rower]

I found this link that has just an oar. just scroll down to Clemson. Men not women ;)

http://www.rathburn.net/rowing/blades/USA_Uni.html

[ProPain]

Tubby. You cant upload your own avatar at the moment, the forumsoftware doesnt allow it. Just post your avvie in the 'avatars are here' thread and me or anarresw will upload it for you.

[Tubby Rower]

Thanks PP. I'm going to hold out ot see if Mistfit can fix the oar colors for me.

[ProPain]

OK, I'll keep an eye on the avatar thread then and upload yours once it appears.

[Mistfit]

Thanks ProPain! Everyone looks so nice decked out in their new colors.

@ Tubs I will Do another one for CFC as the size requirement is a stumbling block for there.

I wiil incorperate the school colors on the oars as well :D Some time Sat or Sunday

[Tubby Rower]

Thanks... No rush. I don't want to get too cocky. I've already been verbally dueling Provolution over in the MTDG. I have to stop though. [sad] I don't want to hurt my team for a little fun on the side :D

[Mistfit]

Better?

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200582716359_TR2.gif

[Tubby Rower]

Yes thanks... I'll post it in the avatar thread

[Mistfit]

This may be my favorite Avatar I've done to date... It's kinda big file wise but I don't think it's much worse than akots or markstars.

Thank PP!

You guys look so Purty

Tubs looking sweeter here than you ever could at CFC.
Mistfit...what can I say? Maybe I place a couple of come bets? I feel like Gromit cow style.

I'm gonna post it over at Team Kiss so the others can see what can be done when your not limited to 70x70 4kb.

I'd just be happy to meet you in Jan. That will be payment enough :D

[ProPain]

My pleasure guys.

[Pastorius]

Mist, I think I want an update to my evil cartoon favorites. The floor is yours for creativity...

[Mistfit]

Do you want the one that you have to be cleaned and improved upon or do you want a completely different evil cartoon?

Here a bit cleaner and darker version:

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200591165643_Pal1.gif

[Mistfit]

Here a bit cleaner and darker version (on the dark post):

http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200591165643_Pal1.gif

[Pastorius]

Nice. Better version. What can you come up with that is evil, but different?

[Mistfit]

Evil cartoon or just straight evil?

If evil cartoon only Calvin and Hobbes or am I open to look elsewhere?

[Pastorius]

I guess the evil theme is most important, though Hobbes (drop calvin) is also pretty evil, deep down...mWAHAHAHA

[Mistfit]

@Paal - I've not forgotten you. I've just not been inspired yet

In the meanwhile could I interest anyone in a new aardvark?


http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/200592022235_cerebus1.jpg

I was looking in google for "evil" things for Paal and came across this...

Romeo is going to smack me for this one..


http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/2005104232829_bush_absolut_evil.jpg


still looking for you Paal. any ideas are welcomed...

Edit:

We could always go with a different Hobbes... (this one is a classic IMHO)



http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/2005104233736_Hobbes.gif

still no taker for a lonely aardvark?

[Tubby Rower]

The aardvark looks too much like anarres's avatar.... Maybe if he had a cousin.

<s>Edit:
Hey look I can edit other peoples posts [charge]

Who do you think I'm trying to sell that avatar to?

Of course it looks like anarres's aardvark... It's the same character </s>

[assw] :D I can re-edit it.... I didn't realize that annares was an aardvark and I haven't seen that character any other place except here and CFC on the occassion that annares posts over there

[romeothemonk]

Actually Mistfit, I won't smack you for it. I didn't even vote Bush in '04. I actually find it kind of humorous.
I enjoy good natured pokes at presidents, especially as I am probably one of the few Americans that listened and followed his advice to conserve natural resources. It was really challenging to motivate myself to ride my bike in 40 F rainy weather.
I took the G.W.B. junior ranger as I knew that it is a polarizing symbol, much more so than anything else I have seen.

[Tubby Rower]

Hey Kevin, can you create an avatar for Werner (fe3333au) and Daggie? I think that they are using some that they founf in the selection. Werner is currently using anarres' avatar and it's a bit cornfusing. btw, Werner is a pyrotechnician

[admiral kutzov]

mist, can u make an avatar for whomp that reflects his true character (cheating and chisox)?

[grahamiam]

hey mistfit,
wondering if you could do some wonders for my cfc avie (the lorax). I need to get him ready for winter. Actually, I'm thinking of having 4 seasons (spring being the current version). So, for winter, perhaps a pair of ski's & poles and a scarf? maybe splay them (ie, opposite the "snowplow" position)? Summer I'm thinking beach shorts and a life-guard whistle, standing on the sand. Maybe with arm floaters or an innertube? Not sure about fall [hmm]

here's the original. thanks!

How about having the fall one with leaves falling in the background and the lorax holding a rake.

@AK Chisox maybe but I'm not the one who paid Tubby for a 4 cow, iron, horse, 3 lux start. You're just bitter that I moved the settler.

[Mistfit]

Hey Graham I will be happy to work on these for you. I will start them this weekend. [mistfit]

[Mistfit]

Edit: It looks like I will have some time to work on your avatar... They have them turned off at CFC to make the forum run quicker :(

A moment of silence please for the loss (albeit temporary) of all of that beautiful art...

I presume graham that you did want the makeover for CFC right?

[grahamiam]

no problem mistfit. the avies will come back once the noobs drop off, but your right, we aren't in a hurry. besides, I wasn't going to use the winter one till December, so you have plenty of time :)

Do you want some snow? Or do you want to keep the transparency? Be honest... You cant be as picky as Krys ;)

Santa Lorax:

[grahamiam]

[lol] the leaf lorax is perfect :)

for the winter one (with skis), i would let the scarf be a bit thicker and maybe give him ski goggles or a funky ski hat (probably not both as it'll be too busy)? the more rediculous the better :) I like the snow, perhaps add some mountain peaks in the backround? btw, how is the size compared to CFC's max size limit?

for the santa one (which looks great!), what does it look like with a white mustache? also, I'd prefer to get rid of the log and just leave it transparent. Can you bend his right arm and sling a bag over his back?

[Mistfit]

Snow Lorax Re-Do:

You guys may have started a new trend here now I want a winter panda and cow pirate...

I really like the Fuck 'em Bucky avvie!!

Bucky avatar looks great, now I can perpetuate stereotypes about us science people at what is turning into a party school. Yes! Just bizarre enough to mess with people

[Pastorius]

If you arent too busy, is there any chance of a Hobbes smiley?

[Mistfit]

I'll work on that this weekend... we need a Paal smillie [mistfit]

[Tubby Rower]

Kev since you're avving this weekdend could you by chance make me a Christmas avvie... not sure what you'd do with it but surprise me it could even be a brand new one (if you got the time). [tubs]

[Mistfit]

I presume you want a x-mas avie for CFC?

[Tubby Rower]

yes please. I'll leave my CDZ avvie the same. unless you could put snow or summpin on the oars.

I could prolly do a spammier one if you want but it is a little difficult keeping them small...

No stress [paal]

No(r)way

It is cool as it is. Slightly paranoid, with the constant looking around. Anyone reading my ramblings in the first ISDG knows that that is correct [lol]

Same to ya Vile [mistfit]

Grahamiams are for another forum IIRC

Which one has grey between his legs?

Edit: Found it... IIRC I noticed that but I don't think graham liked that one anyway so I did not bother

Ya might want to only upload the ones brought to the other thread as some of them are works in progress

[Mistfit]

1.) we need to get Ville back to a non Christmassy Avatar (well past even the 12 days of Christmas)

2.) Just wanted to show off a bit more of my work...
Blazefimic from KoC approached me about doing a graphic for his band. They are doing a CD soon. He requested that no one steal his band name before he makes it big :D

The band is heavy metal and he tells me the name means From Hell...
http://www.civ3duelzone.com/forum/uploaded/Mistfit/20061917512_ex_inferiz4.gif

[Shabbaman]

Looks nice.

BTW, Ville can choose between multiple avatars to his liking.

[Mistfit]

Blaz had to rename his band so... I re-did the graphic. Also he wasn't crazy about the Phoenix... Liked the ideas of dragons better.

Hey mistfit, do you have acrobat illustrator?

no

That's a pity. I have my avatar as an .ai file, which makes it very easy to tamper with. As long as you have illustrator, that is.

Hey mistfit, although I like the new logo it just lacks something. Somehow I liked the old one better, but I must say that this one is a lot better executed. Nothing but compliments. I've got two ideas:

1. just the hood, loose the surrounding circle. I like it in my avatar because it puts the focus on the hood, but in the logo it kind of distracts from the rest of the logo. If you make the hood larger and put the depth and reflection effects on the hood instead of on the circle that'd look nice I think.

2. a completely different thing, a variation on the logo of my third favorite team:

The colors are wrong, obviously.

The Lazio logo is not really a good one for HT. Its dimensions (wider than tall) limit the size ou can make it. Normally I will mot make a logo wider than 250 px (unless specifically requested). THat being said I gave it a shot anyway...

also a different look to your existing...

Hood only:

It looks nice anyway! But you're right about the wrong dimensions, probably... The bottom one looks... strange. I think it's because of the motto that's curved rounder than the bottom of the hood.
