Thread: Free Web Bling. Doing Free Avatars and Signatures for a While...

Hey there guys. I'm one of the few people who loves fiddling with avatars and signatures. As you can see, I am sporting a new avatar of my own and am going to be working up some 80x80 avatars and signatures for you all so we can dress this place up a bit. They may not be much but they at least they should look cool.

First it starts with a google image search for reference material.


Then I touch it up.



And then I resize it and post with it. Quaint eh?

So if you would like a classy signature or avatar, go ahead and post in this thread 3 things. A: What you would like, B: Why you choose this avatar/signature, and C: What you like best about SRP. Some more ground rules: I will not make an avatar or sig for someone who has a very low post count. If you just have 1 or two posts spanning 5 months, sorry, I might get to doing other requests ahead of you. Next, I want you ALL to rehost these sigs and avs as soon as they are posted so that they are not eating up my bandwidth. I will PM you your sig and av when they are ready. I also reserve the right to not do some so no promises. Sorry. :P

Avatars will be made in 80x80 pixel form. Signatures will be made in a 500x80 pixel form and all images will be compressed nicely so that they don't have horrid artifacting nor will they be 1 megabyte huge.

Let the begging begin!

Here's one I just finished. I'm modestly happy with the results. This signature took a lot of tinkering with but it looks nice and it was fun digging up source material. What are your guys' thoughts on this?

Very cool.

i think Lynn's avatar needs update on the 'stash part
i'd propose the following source http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ron_Jeremy_2009.jpg

Okay so it seems like nobody wants a free avatar or signature design at all? Everyone is happy with their jpeg artifacted icons?

OK, now you've hurt our feelings.

I like your idea. I'm kinda proud of my avatar though since I took the pic myself.

Mine doesn't have any JPEG artifact...

I do. .....
A. I would like a Wade & Butcher theme.
B. I choose this because my first shave was with a Wade & Butcher
C. What I like best about SRP is the people here. Always helpful, friendly and
even when we disagree it's civil, and the razors, can't forget the razors.

Now if you choose to make one for me, do I need to upload raw material or
are you doing it from scratch?

Thank you very much for your offer.

I'm into free bling! What can you do with my signature? I really like the quote because .... well.... because it seems true for the culture we live in.... but it's a little .....plain.
I'd sure love to see what you could do to tweak it or spice it up.
Thanks!
