Title: Anyone want a hand-drawn avatar? [DEAD, BURIED, AND DECAYED.]
Post by: Lord Dakoth on October 26, 2009, 11:03:59 pm
Just because I'm bored and I'm not getting any inspiration for new "Dorf Side" comics. I might do this for one or two days, or for a while. Just until I'm not bored anymore, or until homework catches up with me.

Please give a basic description (two to four sentences is plenty) but allow room for my personal, creative flair.

So, anyone want a hand-drawn avatar?

Completed Requests:

With a big-ass sword. Think Buster Sword style...

You had one request already, Phantom. I honestly don't feel like learning the difference between GDI and NOD or whatever so that I can draw another picture of them. Sorry.

And if anyone else wants to request a space marine/combat trooper/terran ghost/master chief/metroid suit/Robbie the Robot/Wall-E/whatever, you can use the picture that Phantom originally requested and decided not to use.

I'll think about the leechman and pyro elf. For now I want to finish what I've started.

Male.

Also, as far as I'm concerned, a cyborg's a half-human/half-machine.

Dorf Pimp is done. Check the OP for a link.

Started working on HAMMERMILL's epic chainsaw battle. You know how hard it is to cram that much shit into a single sheet of paper? I'll work it out, even if it comes to Occam's Razor.

Next, I think I'll do the Pineapple, the Cyborg (I've become adept at drawing tuxedos and suits haha) and the rooster.

I don't know what a craftling is. A picture would help.

Alright, I SWEAR I saw the combat suit dude on another website.

You could've. That picture was actually on my Myspace for a few months before I posted it to here. It's not inconceivable that one of my "friends" ruthlessly ripped it from my profile. If you can find the site, I'd very much appreciate it.

I did draw it myself, if you're implying plagiarism. I still have the original drawing, and I can prove that I'm the artist.

If you ask me, though, all spacemen look the same.

EDIT: Jack Bread, I forgot about Zangoose! Sorry, mate! I'll finish your Zangoose before I finish anything else!

Why are these Avatars soo dark? Have I been using glowing illuminous paper all these years and didn't realise?

I don't have a scanner. So, to get the pencil drawings onto my computer, I have to take a picture of them with my (shitty) digital camera. If the flash is on, you get a massive *POOF* white spot in the middle of the picture. So I turn the flash off.

So that's why they're dark. Nothing you can't fix by playing with the brightness/contrast. But nothing that I can help.

I wouldnt have a clue as to what a craftling is. Use your imagination, go wild.

You don't know what you're getting yourself into. Haha, I'm going to have fun with this one.

Yaaaay! :D

I plan to have it done and uploaded within the next 2 or 3 hours.

Jack Bread's Zangoose is finally finished. Check the OP for a link.

When I was starting out, it looked so horrible. My 12-year-old brother came up behind me and said that it looked like an angry bunny. I retaliated by winging a +Poke Ball+ at his head. It missed. Shoot, it was so close, too!

If you actually understood the joke, you have no life like me. Congratulations.

This avatar actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Especially since it really did look like a pissed off bunny.

Next, I'll be doing the smiling pineapple. I have a little twist that will hopefully make it very funny.

EDIT: Still working on the monster of an avatar that Hammermill requested. There's so much going on, it looks like an Iron Maiden album cover,albeit without any color. I hope you're aware that it's not going to look like much when reduced to a dinky 80x80 image.

I'm thinking about taking multiple shots of the finished picture then making a layered JPG image. Would you be fine with that, Hammermill?

Finished the Cyborg and the Pineapple.

The Cyborg was okay, I guess, but I was kind of disappointed with the pineapple, even with the clever little joke in the picture. But it is a pineapple, no way you can really make it bad-ass.

I'm still plugging away at the massive chainsaw fight. Tomorrow, I'll work on that some (hey, it's a big project) and then maybe do the rooster or something. I'm still trying to decide what a Craftling looks like.

Yes, yes and yes.

One suggestion from me, I suppose, is that one of the commandos should be a scuba diver, or otherwise emerged from the water to fight the other commando.

Doesn't make sense if it looks like two commandos on the same team had a chainsaw fight during a nuclear war with the oceans foaming with the blood of dead soldiers.

Of course all of that is open to artistic license. It would be a war-torn patrotic rambo-type commando fighting a souless, faceless agent of evil hiding his face behind a scuba mask as he tries to chainsaw the survivors of the Higgan's boat.

Requests open again. It didn't make any difference, and people kept requesting anyways *cough* LEAFSNAIL *cough* But that still doesn't guarantee that I'll get around to your request anytime soon. I probably won't be doing more than one or two per day.

Sonerhoi, the pineapple's name is Wilson, in case you didn't catch Phantom's all too subtle outburst. It's a reference to the 2000 film "Cast Away," starring Tom Hanks. <a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_NmlmkHmDlBc/R1jOWWXkwPI/AAAAAAAAASU/gsVPZtcR66I/s400/wilson.bmp>"Wilson"[/url] is Hanks' volleyball companion, sort of an imaginary friend who keeps him company.

Sinister cockroach pending... and the snail. Looks like I'll have a bug week. Any particular kind of snail? Ninja snail? Space snail? CYBORG snail? I'm guessing you're going to be a gentlemanly snail in a suit, given that over half of my requests have involved a suit or a tux in some way.

Ha, maybe tuxedos will become the next avatar fad! Or even better, a spinning cyborg penguin. You wouldn't even have to have a tuxedo because penguins have natural tuxedos! Ha I'm a genius.

Chainsaw fight: 20-30%
Everything else: 0%

Might not actually get around to anything today. I have some assignments due tomorrow, and my dad is talking about going out to eat.

Can you draw me a Tack?

Except... it has evil eyes on the top. And I want it to have an air of "Will kill all punners". Possibly through a gun, or spear, or something else.


And the rest is up to your imagination.

Looks good. It's not like, woah, mindblowing. But I may use it as an idea for future avatar stuff.

The reason for not taking... the facial expression is kinda meh, and the cyborg side could use a bit more steampunk. But, overall, me likey.

Understandable. No offense taken.

[EDIT:] Snail finished. Working on the cockroach. Will upload them both sometime later this evening. Then I'll keep plugging along on the MONSTER chainsaw fight.
Title: Re: Anyone want a hand-drawn avatar?
Post by: Lord Dakoth on November 09, 2009, 08:27:42 pm
Today was kind of a buggy day. I finished the cockroach and the snail avatars.

Horrid puns aside, I'm very pleased with how they turned out. I started out with something that didn't even vaguely resemble a cockroach, and what looked like a second grader's chalk drawing of a snail. But then, I decided to work a snazzy hat and trench coat into the cockroach picture, and made a funny joke out of Leafsnail's name.

Check the OP for links, as always. Tomorrow, I'll be doing Phantom's request, and working on the chainsaw battle (which I have decided to finish by Wednesday evening.)

Cheers.

I've just spotted this thread and it sounded cool so I'd like to give(?) a request for an avatar
preferably something with ninja cats in, other than that I'll hand it over to you!

Post by: Lord Dakoth on November 12, 2009, 04:58:21 pm
Okay guys, here's the deal.

I think I'm going to need a bit of a break. There's a lot of stuff coming up IRL, so for the next week or so, I probably won't get much (if anything) done. But I plan on going back to work on these avatars then.

Until then, cheers. Sorry to all of the people who are left hanging with their avatars half-done.

So you are saying I'll never see two elite commandos engaged in an epic chainsaw battle footed on a pile of dead soldiers stacked in a sinking Higgans boat coasting on a tidal wave caused by a nuclear explosion in a blood-stained ocean???

Well, I hope whatever has taken you from your duties is worth it.

Ha, don't worry Hammermill. I'll get around to it after my "sabbatical."
I'm thinking about making the avatar into a layered JPG image that shows different sections of the picture.

Post by: Tack on November 15, 2009, 07:01:36 am
Hmmm... This disappoints me. I was one of the first to request one - it was too confining, so I changed it. Apart from the sabattical, which I can completely understand, My only question is,
Have you forgotten me, or are you ignoring me?

Oops, I guess I kinda forgot about it. I'll get around to it... later. Be aware that it won't be in color, but I'll try to make the apple stand out.

Okay, I'm running out of steam. There are a few avatars that I'm still going to do:

Tack: Guy with apple
Sonerage: Ninja kitty!
Aldaris: Alien dude
Sensei: Samurai detective
HAMMERMILL: Epic chainsaw fight, still working on it! (Have started over several times.)

These are all the avatars I'm going to do for the foreseeable future. Requests are now closed.

Phantom, I was going to do your most recent request, even though you decided to not use the first one and then cancel your second one when I was halfway through. However, seeing as you've spammed the hell out of this thread ever since you first posted, I am not going to do your request. Furthermore, the next time you post anything on this thread that even remotely resembles spam, I am going to report you to Toady and have him deal with you.

Oh, instead of bequest - I meant "request". In fact, I was speaking in prose. Hah.


May I ask that you do the latter description, rather than the former?
