Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

I'm loving these everyone. Great work! Here's my attempted one. Personally, I like it, but I wouldn't use it myself. I am honestly against using the screenshots as something to work with. They just never look right unless it's scenery, in my opinion anyway.


In that one it looks like a stretch or resize instead of a crop.

Yea, it pretty much is. It's mainly because I took the picture when there was no scenery, just a white screen, so I took another screenshot and placed the images together. So at the moment, I'm just playing with it, and see what I can come up with.

Good catch, sweet scene and how it almost looks hazy (the figure), almost fatigued.

What else would the focus be on? There's really nothing else there.

Those are cool but for the first one, the Elite seems to stand out a little too much. I shouldent talk though, all I did was put some images in MS paint. Those are rally good, though.

Sure you should. Honest opinion FTW. I noticed the same thing, but thought it kind of had a comic book look to it. Wasn't really intended originally, but once I noticed it I left it.

I'm going to ignore your statement there and countinue to live in the autocosm that in wich I still have a chance. Anyway, I'd be surprised if yours were not loved. Did you do that background for the first pic?

Not sure I came across correctly. I was just trying to say that whatever your opinion of your own work, should not preclude you from giving an honest and constructive criticism of someone else's. I'm kind of the same way. I tend to be overly critical of my own, and I'm never to sure what others think, so I ask. I'd like to hear honest opinions on what people think is wrong, not just looking for a pat on the back.

That's all I was trying to say there, wasn't trying to say anything negative about yours, which is kind of what it sounds like you thought based on your response.

If that makes any sense?

The first post sounded like you were agreeing that my entries sucked (wich they do) I was just saying that you have no complaints from me. I like your work, and you still have not said if you did the background in the first pick.

No, Bungie did. It's a cropped out portion of the background in the final scene from Halo 3. It's just as the tank goes flying out and chief is climbing back to Cortana. All I did was play with the colors & contrasts and watermark it with a 7th column symbol.

& BTW, I do like the first avatar, the second is a bit too whitewashed for me, but as you can tell, I tend to get overly excited about bold colors and contrasts :)

That by itself looks amazing. It's cool to see some community minded things.

So I think Jun's a master chef, because he takes off his helmet and your like whoa, I think he's a chef.

So to shorten this up, Jun is master chef.

Is this almost over?

What do you mean by "over"? Stosh said we have years to keep turning them out.

Maybe I should just ask when we'll get an update. I'm psyched to see some of the avatars here.

  • 04.05.2008 9:09 PM PDT

I apologize for not reading through page after page of useless posts but had to ask what information you would like us to include and ask whether or not we can use avatars from other site (I can think of a particular one but will not mention it for fear of it being taken). In addition, can they be moving avatars opposed to stationary ones?

YF (Sorry for all the questions.)

PS: Stosh's mother is so . . . . . ;)

Well, I'm sorry you can't be bothered to read. Rather than be a dick and point out that all this info can be found in the posts you refuse to read, here you go:

Avatars should be in 90x90 .gif format. That includes animated gifs. Once you have made them, attach them to an email to Stosh (7themes at gmail dot com). If there are a lot of them you probably want to zip them, then attach the zip. If you have a preview page on the net, it's not a bad idea to include the link.

I don't think you're supposed to copy avatars from other sites though (unless you made them yourself), if that's what you're implying in your post.
