[shifty157]

That is a very very funny avatar Roman_Gladiator.

[}|{NO}|{Roman_Gladiator]

Thanks, if you liked that then I think you will love this To bad it this isen't a sig contest. lol

[shifty157]

Thats hilarious as well. I actualy saw the council of elrond portion of it on its own some time ago and that was funny but the rest just takes it over the top. Good stuff.

[CDavid]

i guess you all know this one:



i have made 2 avatars, since u said theye must be 50X75, but all the avatars on this forum seem to be 50X70.

[CDavid]

btw i plan to do some more avatars, but before this i ask if we have to post them in 50X70 or 50X75 as it was originally said?

[Stig]

50x75

right click an avatar in this forum, and select properties, for me it always gives 50x74

[PROMETHEUS]

Well as long as you post the big picture isn't necessary I suppose couse can be cutted by it , the smaller is to show how looks as avatar.....

[Myrddraal]

Damn I was gonna add my feeble effort but on second thoughts I pass, no need to get embarressed.

Cmon, lets see it.

I'll post a bad one if you do too

[Martok]

My avatar.

LOL! That was great. It reminded me of the Very Secret Diaries....

[The Spartan (Returns)]

its really funny.

[Dutch_guy]

This one's pretty good too:



And the classic :

[Wishazu]

Im quite a noob at Photoahop but I want to have a go at this competition :) How do you put those borders around the smaller pics?

[PROMETHEUS]

Im quite a noob at Photoahop but I want to have a go at this competition :) How do you put those borders around the smaller pics?

Copy one of thep pics with the borders , remove with a square selection the inside part , then copy the external borders and apply to a same sized image of your avatar and paste over it ....

[Wishazu]

lol thanks

[Byzantine Emperor]

This is a simple one of a gothic knight that I made from a screenshot. It's not that good and I don't expect it to get close to winning.





If it MUST be 50x75, here is a rescaled one:



I like it better in 50x70 though.

New one based on a foot knight:





Another one: (hey, this is fun!)





A bit of a different one with 2 variations:

[Wishazu]

Heres my entry, I may post some more if I can get round to it :)





I suppose you could call this guy a generic horse archer/ horse warrior. But you cant really tell that without seeing the whole picture.

EDIT: heres the full picture



P.S Thanks again for the help Prometheus :)

[Faenaris]

Well, here is my attempt. I have to add that I do not have Photoshop or any other fancy programs, so, I made these using Paint. Yes, go ahead, mock me. :) The links I posted beneath each avatar is a larger version, 200 x 300 pixels.

Wickus the Righteous, Cardinal.

Is it compulsory for the large images to be 400 pixels wide? You wouldn't recognise the smaller avatars because of the pixellation. But, if it is compulsory, I will resize the larger images.
