Looks great
Nice work,

And, time!

You may bow before me.
Fun facts: 301 european old admirals, 301 young
101 orthodox missionarys.
Plently of fun there. I think there is actually around 10 000 unique portraits.
Peasant Phill 11:16 10-06-2009
I'll start this evening with a few of everything.
pevergreen 12:48 10-06-2009
Joking aside though, happy to help.
maybe pevergreen could take maybe the eastern and native american portraits and phill could take all europe and some maybe north african?
We are eagerly awaiting your results. Many thanks for doing this, guys!

I have no desire to do so, nor if I did, the ability to.
MSPaint ftw.

Maybe you could make a few?

Remember this is all voluntary, you can't just assign people such a task.
Again, I'll start tonight and hopefully I'll be able to make a reasonable amount in a reasonable amount of time provided that my girlfriend is reasonable enough.

Sounds reasonable
I wish I could help but a) I don't have ETW and b) I'm just horrible when it comes to MSPaint or photoshop and the like (but if it's easy to explain and if ETW is not needed, just PM me and I can share a bit of the workload; if not, then I'll just stay here to encourage your from the sideline,
"Vlaamse kermiskoers"-style

)
Is there no way to automate the process? Seems like a lot of work to do them all individually.

i just assumed you guys were working together because he said hed be happy to help. itd be redundant if both of you made the same portraits into avatars.
and i dont have that kind of time unfortunately. god women murder your game time
Peasant Phill 17:42 10-06-2009
Don't worry, I was just making a point.
Besides you're 14, how are women (your mother?) a burden on your free time?
Trust me, you can have the most demanding (potential) girlfriend when your 14 and you would still have more free time than someone who has to juggle work, a household and a girlfriend.
I don't mind the work as long as nobody expects me to make more than say about a 100 avatars and don't expect it to be done within a week.
I walked around looking like my avatar today. Had trouble sleeping, didn't bother shaving, put on a green zip-up hoodie, and it rained, thus I put it over my head and tada, I became my avatar. :O
Also had the dark eyes to, due to lack of sleep.
well im only a few months away from 15
and i didnt say i had less freetime. i said game time. shes fine watchin tv with me. she hates it when i try to play something. its like she has a spidersense:
"OMG he's on his computer! Wonder Twin powers activate! Form of: Teleporting person!" *1970's sound effect* "Whoa! Hey, its not what it looks like. I..I I I...I'm just tryin to pla-AAAHHH!!!!!!"

all you need now is a french accent and a 4 star assassin rating and you're set to be cast in the M2:TW movie (a compilation of different AARs)!!!

Yet another sample:
Sorry, GF was really eating into my PC time tonight. And I wasn't able to extract the pack-file. So slow work so far.
Pever, you might do me a favor by lgiving me some of those portraits you obviously were able to extract. Thanks.
Those really do look good,
Phill. Much appreciation for working on them.
pevergreen 06:36 10-07-2009
I'll attempt to do so. Are we crossing into legal territory?
Andres?
PI, mate, you don't know the half of it.
Neither do I.

Well, I'm a series of extensive plastic surgery procedures, one Roman helmet, and jaw reconstruction away from looking like mine, so I think we're about even.

Phil, I think you should get on producing the full set of Avatars for the .org. I can see no reason as to why they would not be used. The Avatars you're designing fall within the rules for Avatars here at the .org.

Meaning I should really start making them or you won't be needing the ones I make?

I think Tosa means that he will add any ETW Avatars you can produce this weekend.

Hahaha.
Well, it takes a lot to change you from the innocent little girl to a manly Roman general.
Am I going to be able to use any of these avatars or does my post count have to be larger?
pevergreen 01:52 10-09-2009
AFAIK, all avatars are avaliable for all users with a few exceptions:
Moderator avatars are for mods only.
The few one off avatars are for those people only.
"one off avatars"??? huh

Some members had their own custom avatar, t'was a one off.
Sigurd, is the one that stands out in my mind, as for current avatars, see
Andres.
Neither of those are pulled from ingame, therefore custom one offs.
