Wait, so now there are five behalves from different lifestyles with respect to that photo? You sick people.

Anyways, I haven't thrown in my vote yet, so props to scem's spinning face tar, w/fixing from Mr. A, from early 2003, for perhaps the most annoying avatar, yet also the dumbest. That was great. :D

Doctor Q, I do have troule making decisions at times. This one is troublesome for some reason. It has just grwon on me.

I do wonder now that there is an Avatar like mine if it nmakes a difference. Sometimes, I think it me. Suggestions?

Its just that your current one is a little too animated..... that other tar you linked to is far better in my opinion, much classier.

I've changed my tar quite a few times and there's not problem with people not recognizing me.....it doesn't take long to learn someones tar.

D
 
AppleMatt's avatar has confused me several times. I've read enough of your posts so that my first reaction when I read one of his posts, mistakenly thinking it's one of yours, is to think "Hey, this wdlove post is out of character." Then I remember it might be AppleMatt and glance over to confirm it. All in a split second. So that shows that seeing your Mac icon (with or without animation), rather than your name, is how I identify your posts when I'm skimming. There are no forum rules about similar avatars. It's just informal agreement among gentlemen and ladies that we try not to confuse each other. You could live with the slight confusion (it's only momentary, at least for me), PM AppleMatt and ask him if he'd be willing to differentiate it a little more, or change yours and let people get used to the new wdlove. You can also change your mind!

P.S. There's somebody else whose avatar uses the Mac face, with animation that cycles among it and other well-known Mac icons. I forget who it is.

(Delayed reaction)

Thanks!

I feel like I've been nominated for an Oscar... :)

"...I'd like to thank the Academy, the people of Leichtenstein, the inventor of the wankel-rotary engine, Eva Braun, Richard Burton, the planet Saturn AND all of its rings, the Royal Society for the Prevention of Birds, Henry Kissenger..." etc, etc...
 
i'd have to say i like agreensters 'tar the best. saw it a couple of days ago and had to come back for a third and fourth look at it. :) very smooth animation, love the way he pops his head out. one tip that might help it look even sweeter... if you could make that white border the same as the background colour... that would just make it blend with the background more.

kiwi_the_iwik, funny 'tar you've got there. :D i'll probably never look at a kiwi fruit the same again. :p

and edesignuk, i do like that 'tar as well. i'd have something like that, using all those high-res pics you shared ;) except that i want to keep the same look, pixelleted, game-inspired. i might go for a Metal Slug 'tar with some sort of animation soon though... that game's full of the best animations ever.

and Sun Baked, i've got to say i love your 'tar! :D
 
i really liked sunbaked's old Count Blah series, because Count Blah still makes me laugh every time i think about him, blah.

and now that it's been a whole week since i cracked the 500-post mark, i'm curious to see what people think of mine... ?

Whoa, cool! That was unexpected! It's a snap from Pixar's video "Geri's Game" which won an oscar for best animated short a few years back. I still think that Geri is the best human model that Pixar has ever made, all the other ones are really...meh IMO. Here's a link...

I've always liked edesignuk's avatars...note the desktop bg:

:cool:

I must say that your avatar is incredibly cool. It really throws me off to see a turtle climb up from behind the page and stick his head out. The page isn't supposed to be 3D! Arn - you need to stop letting turtles run wild on the site! :eek: ;)
 
Speaking about Pixar - I made myself a new avatar, which is inspired by the quoted article in my sig... it´s my first animated gif file ever :)

It's like the little guy is continously checking the threads for news of a G5 update, though less frequently than many of the members of this site.

:)

It represents your title name very well! ;) Blue is a favorite color of mine so I give it a thumbs up, way up. It also looks like my G4 tower.

Yours is nice also sonofslim. Now we always know what you are doing! :D

yeah, your ill is pretty cool. did you draw that?

i know of at least one other member who has illustrated that style mac case (though, it's a graphite G4). any guesses to who that is? here's a hint... she's a girl. :D

*****

yet again i must give props to agreenster for having the dopest avatar on macrumors... and props to AppleMatt for having the balls to jack the Mac OS face from wdlove.

i guess it's time to move on, eh wdlove... ;)


peace.

i like your 'tar, the glow is really nice, well done. :) but if you also want to hear what could be improved... for some reason the edge of the circle looks a bit jagged... perhaps that could be cleaned up a bit? :)

blue&whiteman, that 'tar goes really well with your name. :)

you know, i spent so much time on the glow (and it's still a little herky, there's one frame in particular that still bugs me) that i didn't bother to worry about the anti-aliasing on the border.

glad you like it, though!
