Design an Avatar

I have no graphic arts skills but would like an avatar. I've mucked around the internet for 3 hours, worked on different sites, tried to download photos - debated if I should use my 1187, M-1 Garand or Swedish Mauser to shoot the computer! :gwh:

Then I searched this forum and found a thread where LuckyCynic offered to put together avatars for members. He hasn't posted for a long time, but it got me thinking.

Is there anyone out there who would throw something together for me?

Qatsats is a Hebrew word meaning "cut asunder." It sounds like what it means, "qat/sats," the sound of a machete cuting through a cornstalk. I was thinking of an image of blade, a katana, and the words, "the sound of the blade."

Interested?

I could go it. I am very skilled in photoshop. So let me get this straight. You want an image of a Katana cutting through a cornstalk with the words "the sound of a blade"?

Thanks for the help, much appreciated.

The photo doesn't need to be of a katana going through a cornstalk - that would probably be difficult to find. Just a katana, or a katana in the hands of person, and the quote. That would be great.

I could photoshop the Katana going through the cornstalk, if you want.

Hey, Skippy!!
Thanks for the help. Great job. I hated looking at that "No Avatar" sign.

Dang... I'm too late!

I would have thought that a Hebrew sword would have been more appropriate than a katana or samurai swords...

Like a hebrew temple guard sword or a cool period sword.

Not that the avatar isn't a very nice one, mind you. :)

Oh, almost forgot.

Proper etiquette requires you shoot a monitor with an M1 Garand. Unless you are 500 yards away, then you are allowed to use a Mauser.

Qatats,
I'm no artist or computer whiz, but you mentioned your M1 Garande. Here's my favorite picture--It's from a WW11 recruiting poster and I almost used it instead my action shot from my bagpipe band. See what you think. If you like it, PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you.
