Title: Christmas is over, let us leave our avatars here for historical refrence.
Post by: qwertyuiopas on January 08, 2010, 08:24:30 pm
Since so many people changed their avatars for christmas, why not record them for future years? Almost like a time capsule, it could be revived in time for next year bringing up all the fond memories.

Also posting what it is now, since that too will change, is optional but not discouraged.

(It doesn't look much diffrent from before the holidays, but in a fond memory of the hat's shading, I started reshading the whole thing to add greater contrast to the dark side. And some very minor reshaping)

That was a pretty good one.

I just fixed my Picasa gallery so I won't accidentally remove it, just in case.

For Christmas season:

I liked how most people used the same hat image for their hat (mine included; just shrunken down a lot). I was originally planning to make a hat in the SRT style as though it were part of the robot so it would "fit" better, but I didn't have time and forgot about doing that until just now. >,>

Actually, I made my hat in Photoshop.

300dpi masterwork. Such high quality, you can see every fiber. And then I shrunk it down to sufficient size to fit on the bear's head, and the avatar. It may look a bit blurry.

People who put their Christmas decorations up in July are insane,
 not original.

Fixed title, if more flaws are found I'll have to add a breathing pauze somewhere in the middle.
