Best Avatar Contest!
 

Anyone want to told a best avatar contest? Winner gets, uhmmm, nothing, but maybe tiny will donate a CNC Muffler to the winner *cough cough* *nudge nudge*. Just give a brief description of why it looks like it does, and the "history" of it all sort of. Here is mine:

I made my avatar like this because I have a ZZ, and the car in the middle is a ZZ Mustang. I also like fire, so i tried to get that in there also (the background, hard to make it out sorta). The mustang is trying to escape the evil fire ball! Also, I got the name CrAzI from that being my SN on ************* (thats my avatar there too), and that used to be my old game name for Red Faction,etc.

mine is race cars racing on a track. I think it is cool. I also have this huge jugs lady one.:D :cool: :eek: :p

avatars are useless
i only use them to see where my last post was....

wasent this already a thread?

oh ya and this is in the wrong fourm

thats what i use them for on another message board
i never bothered to get one for tinyrc

right.........
so who won the contest?:p

:D

Mmmm...avatar.

i really hate idiots who spend 3 hours making a stupid animated avatar.

lol, 3 hours?????
Thats kind off, I dont see how anyone would spend more than 10 minutes on one personally

Um bascially, making stuff is not how good you can come up with, I think its more of orginality. For example take yours; basically all I see is an orb created with bevel and with some airbrush strokes on the top, you make the neat reflection, and the ring around it, inner bevel plus a bunch of other blending options, I used it on my TinyRC wallpaper too :D (see image on the bottom hehehe) and I will admit I looked at some tutorials to make that orby thing around the trueno which I believe it was called LCD orb or sumthin.

Well, as for my avatar, it stinks; ten second quick work with the selection and layer stuff. :D

No bevel, only gradients and bluring, and light effects......
heh I dont think I should win, (stupid contest anyways) I think dabigpig has a pretty good one, heh. I was just pointing out that crappy animated avatars suck...

Animations are good if you can loop them without any seams (errr...whatever that thing is called) I mean like you can animate from the last frame to the first with no problems.

Hmmm...blending options inner bevel would be more flexible than gradients in my opinion, gradients is more like a radial gradient then like adjust the layer blending modes.

Besides, this isnt a contest, no prize, rules or the contest whatnot stated.

thanks swavey my new one is what i will have to open if i don't win LOL i also like the melted voice coil one (alot easyer to recignize) this one is so much smaller than the other one. this new one means ummm welll it means whatever you want it to i guess:)

I am not using any fancy layer blending options..... I dont understand, lol you are making my avatar seem way to advanced. its just a circle selection filled with a dark to light red gradiant, then a white to transparant half gradient on top.... the ring indent is just a circle selection a little bigger than the first with a gradiant in it from dark to light... the ring is just a white ring channel blured, then add a lighting effect to it. so its very easy to modify very versatile......
(all gradiants are just linear, no radial or anything)

to simple

personally, I like mine, i can relate to it, lol

.

look at my new one!
 

Check the high flyin Explorer bishes. Haha I know i know, I'm the winner aren't I? JK:D

Guys, we'll have an Official avatar contest soon, just need to take care of some of the current contests first. :)

really score! be sure to let us know well in advance......

/swavey opens up photoshop hand twitching on his mouse waiting...............

That's disgusting!

my avatar = cool mon. and original :P

Here is my creation:

Here is my original drawing:

YEAH!

So no one's gonna winthis damn thing! Nice Audi A6 btw. It's much easier to appreciate in full size.

For some reason the larger picture looks WAY better than your avatar.:rolleyes:

i spend no more than a few minutes on making an animated avatar...
and if it seems choppy, its not.... i like it to pan, and then stop on a certain angle with timed effects, and then loop around again....
this one for example...just pans until u see the car, and then the focus is on the car for a second, and then back to the road and loops around again...to me its not choppy

when I win, somebody be sure to e-mail me lol
