It's an avatar contest! Who ever makes the best Christmas avatar by the end of the year wins! I'm the hostess! Post here and type either 335776***/* or contestent to be a contestent, and type 9965985 or judge to be a judge. Dusty and Superkoopa are already signed up!

I know how to say antidisestablishmentarianism.

About the number thing:Thats gay. no wait... Thats really gay.

The time has come... Onward to victory!

Hey hey hey! It's Shadic, just off of making a new avatar to show off! Guess what? I made it just for this! Santa Link! Oh yeah!

Uhh.. I'm competing, just so you know, incase you didn't get it from the previous paragraph!

Basically, its a Link, with a Santa hat, with a candy cane as a sword! Won't find it anywhere else folks! Custom sprite pose, along with an edited hat (It didn't just come that way!)

Anyways, the cany cane was also messed with a bit, and he uses it in place of his sword! Whoohooo!!!!

And, he's red and stuff, so he looks like Santa, and his belt is messed with a bit too.

Ummm..... Can I advertise? If so, vote for Shadic! :P

Hmmmm... Candy....

Oh yeah! Forgot about the bag! Messed with that too! Won't find that, or the pose anywhere else folks! (Obviously excluding my other posts that I have made)

Now I must change my font color to red to make it more holiday ish!!!!

~Shadic

PS. (Actually managed to get a sizable post outta this, worried that this might hurt my ranking, but managed to get it to help me quite a bit, wouldn't you say?) Ehehe, I'm evil!

Edit: (As Black Rooster post came while I was posting mine) Yes, it is kinda weird, so I just chose to ignore it and just say that I am entering as a competitor!.

Also, changed the font color! It is now red! Wheeeeee!

I smile because I have no idea what's going on. :D


Jesus loves you, everybody else thinks you're an ass.

My sister said she likes to make thing complicated. She probably works for microsoft in secret.

The time has come... Onward to victory!

I've changed my mind of the competitor. I'll be a judge.

{insert witty sig here}

How about we vote on a scale from 1 to 10?

Shadic: 10/10

{insert witty sig here}

Shadic: 10/10
Sakura: 9/10
Samus Aran: 9/10
Talon: 7/10

Umm...my ratings so far. :P

{insert witty sig here}

Keep improving, and you'll get better ratings!

{insert witty sig here}

It doesn't look like Roll anymore......meh.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Shadic: 10/10
Sakura: 9/10
Samus Aran: 9/10
Talon: 8/10
Wolfenhex: 10/10

You've improved, Talon. ;)

Also, everyone. I'm both a judge and a contestant. I will judge avatars, but I will not judge my own. I have submitted my avatar. How good is it on a scale of 1 to 10?

{insert witty sig here}

I guess I'll be a judge.

I'm stuck in a world that does not exist
There are people,but they are not real
They speak for hours,yet don't say a word
Their lives are right here yet they have no life
They're isolated,yet connected to all
We're always in this place, but not really there at all
All we see is a blinding light, we never hear a call
What am I to do
When I'm stuck in a world that does not exist
Left with a pain that is all but bliss.

I'm probally going to end up not making one. Then for rest of the year work on one for next year.

Blank space is good :)

Yours is odd Dustminion, but good nonetheless.
I can still improve mine, I just wasn't allowed up past 1:30 last night that's all, Happy Spriting and Merry Christmas!

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Shadic: 10/10
Sakura: 9/10
Samus Aran: 9/10
Wolfenhex: 10/10

Well, Talon removed his, so it's not that crazy to remove his rating.

{insert witty sig here}

Maybe he didn't like it anymore and dicided to go make a new one or something.

Blank space is good :)

Done, my Avatar is complete

http://aa.1asphost.com/Talon

All my avatars are here

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Wow that's better then the last one. I like the tree!

Blank space is good :)

Shadic: 10/10
Sakura: 9/10
Samus Aran: 9/10
Talon: 8/10
Wolfenhex: 10/10

Any others?

{insert witty sig here}

I feel my Avatars aren't very liked by people, but I'm not gonna change it just yet.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Shadic: 7/10 (nice idea but it's a mix of art styles)
Sakura: 8/10 (same problem as Shadic, but is much smoother looking)
Samus Aran: 6/10 (ditto and not much has been done as the other 2)
Talon: 9/10 (very nice, don't like the tree though)

To Wolfenhex: Thanks for the nice high rank, it now looks kind of plain without the tree but oh well.

To Sakura: I can help you out a bit in the smoothing deparment I think, gimme 5 minutes, then I'll e-mail you
EDIT: No wonder it's in all un-smooth, it's a JPG, they do that, if it's small, save it in BMP, if not then give it to me and I can make it a GIF, normally GIF are 256 colour, but I can make that become GIF with normal colour, you could have just made that Avatar a BMP without fear of lots of space.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Read my previous editted post

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I'd bother with this if I was actually in the mood for Christmas. Unfortunatly, I have no money at all. Nothing. Not a cent. I can't get ANYONE ANYTHING this year, not even my most precious person. I'll have something for them, afterwards, but still...meh.

I hate receiving things when I can't give anything back. u_u

I need to find a job, fast.

And the beautiful Kaze brushed his hand through his hair, and walked off into the sunset, as the hordes of fangirls moaned and fainted.

BTW Sakura, I smoothed your Avatar, it's been ready for about 40 minutes

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Sorry... my old account couldn't post... damn cheap coding...

I don't understand........did you get the Avatar? Will it work, if not I can make it work.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Can you see my avatar, yes or not? If yes, this is the one you made Talon...

Damned bloody JPGs, always use GIF, not even BMP, I have made and learned a mistake

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

If you have a real art program (as in something that gives you control of things and not just basic tools and formats) you can actually set JPEG files to have 0% compression so no distortion at all. And no, they're not huge files like BMP's either.

I use MS Paint all the way! But Vueprint to convert to GIF

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Not many people are in the contest,I guess I'll be a contesant instead just to give some more competition.

Good idea LLS, we do need another person or two, more competition, I like that you know. I have to go to bed in a few minutes though so I can't make a new one tonight, not that I'm gonna change my current one, I like it.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Thanks Talon I'll make it in a little while.How much time is left until they're due?
Goodnight to you then Talon.
P.s.Don't forget to read chapter 2 of S&S on my site okay?

Bah, I'm staying up, what the hell.
I've never been to your site, I'll go do that now

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Here's my entry.Any suggestions to help make it better?Anybody care to judge?
...
(Wait it's 2:08 a.m why would anyone be around right now?)
Whatever,I'm going to bed.

I was around you know, just checking up on BnG though, I'm sure Dave always has them up by 1:30, bah. You saved your picture as a BMP didn't you, because now it's a JPG, and JPG files suck. It looks good though, I'd give it at least 9/10.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I overslept... again... I woke up at 11:00...

I saved it as a bmp... but I don't know why... my avatar doesn't seems to load...

...need....to...use....GIF....I'm getting a little frustrated over nothing, this is sad.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Ok... I'll turn it into GIF format...

EDIT : Doesn't works... gives me a big red X instead...

You tryed to GIF it with Paint didn't you? Let's just forget this, it looks better than it did before I editted it at all, so it's fine, but I always thought it was anyways.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Anyway... Christmas time is not too long, and I'll come back to my old avatar pretty soon...

As in that one with Roll in the Blue suit and symbols all around?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I'll remove the symbols if nobody likes them...

Honestly, all this Christmas Avatar stuff has appealed to my mood, I think we should have these all year-long, or untill Valentines Day.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I like this day... I'll have a very nice avatar for that occasion!

*groans* Greeeeeat, and what am I suppose to do? Stick a heart on Talon's stomach and call him a Care Bear?

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Paint him in pink! Joking...

I don't know... but you'll surely know when time comes...

He's currently pink! Oh well, I could make him Pinker.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Maybe you could simply put him red and only remove that hat...

The Hat looks spiffy! I might just make it blue and keep it on Talon all year 'round, including my newer comics.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Spiffy?

I prefered the good old helmet...

Spiffy is mt word for 'Cool Looking'

I might keep the hat, I'll make a comic of it, you'll see.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Thanks Talon,but it was originally a Jpeg.

Not sure, but I liked Link's Lost Sword's the best, for sure. Awesome background, and neat idea.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Thanks Talon it took me like two hours.Glad it paid off but I did like Wofenhex's though.You know exept the eyes,they look sorta weird..<.< >.>

I think Wolfenhex and I share a trait, we look better in a Santa hat whilst Shades are on.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

I like the word Spiffy...

Anyway who won?

Blank space is good :)

Wolfenhex. Yeah. He had a great avatar. I don't understand why Sakura had to say that there was some white stuff around Shadic's avatar three times. And the only reason I made a christmas avatar was to get Talon to stop complaining about making one.

{insert witty sig here}

Well now, that's nice. Either way it was um, good.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Well, you've been saying stuff like:

"Fine then. Be that way."

and

"C'mon, Dusty! Christmas avatar!"

{insert witty sig here}

It would have been decided on Christmas, because it was Christmas related more than Happy New Year related.

"Fine then. Be that way."

Was a sarcastic remark, but you really couldn't tell, no sarcasm tag.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Can't you ever stop fighting? Or a I going two have to seperate you to?

*Puts Talon and Dustminion in time-out.

Now you stand face against the wall and think about what you've done.

Blank space is good :)

I hate finding Spelling errors, but Superkoopa makes too many of the words To Too and Two.

I don't know why we fight so much, it just happens, maybe Wolfenhex should ban us for an hour if it happens again and then for a day if it keeps up.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

But there is no point in that.People fight it's no big deal,really.

Talon if you notice around the time I'm in school I don't make errors. I take Keyboarding and can type 80 Gwam (Which is better then the average adult) it not htat though. My keyboard sucks. At school my keyboard is good. And I go back tommorow with new Computers and keyboards sooooo...

I can't help it sorry.

Blank space is good :)

I just hate imperfections... to answer people that asked a question on why I repeated 3 times there are white spots around Shadic's christmas avatar.

My avatar looks weird... I lost my gif animator too because I switched computer...

Well then you can just use Unfreez it works fine cause that's what me and Talon use to do our animations.

Drék the master of evil, becuase evil is good but not good good but makes me feel good

Same here I use Unfreez.

Blank space is good :)

I use Unfreez also. I sent Superkoopa Unfreez.

And YOU can have it, too!

<advertising>Call 1-800-I-WANT-UNFREEZ-NOW, and give us your e-mail address, so we can send it to you. Don't wait! Order now!</advertising>

*ahem* My point is, Sakura, what is your e-mail address?

{insert witty sig here}

To be honest, unFREEz is screwing me over, all frames must be same time. I'm gonna use somethign else soon, AuthorX, and others have been bothering me about it.

Go Protoman, and Link, and Zero, and Roll, and Shadic(who likes AOL)!

Hasn't been screwing me over. I always make the frame speed "3."

{insert witty sig here}

Um, that means that .03 of a second is between each frame. Problem is I need to use different frame time for comics, not mini-animés.
