Just noticed the 'requested' iPod and earphones in your 'tar iMeowbot, very nice touch. Great job!
Got a tip for us?

Edit: Better, but I liked the one color better tooIt's hard to improve on perfection and the first one was perfect
Oh, but I disagree. The current rev (changing bkgrnd and iPod) is perfect!

The one I didn't like was the "hoedown...syncdifferent" version.
This version I like very much... excellent!

Very true, good point - by resizing it in that way he can probably preserve as much quality as possible.
Well, here is version 2. I ditched the background and added the stars.
I don't see what you mean by just changed the larger proportion to 75 and let Photoshop do its thing with resizing... that is what I did methinks.
Anywhoo, comments on this one?
Thank you for the helpful comments before, and I would bet iMewbot like 'em too.

I like that combination of giant pixels behind a semi-realistic rendered ship! Kind of a breaking the 4th wall kind of thingMechcozmo said:
That was just a wild guess that you ended up using a square canvas to force the size issue. It was a more a feeble attempt to steer the thread back toward what might improve your avatar, there was way too much complaining about starting with a borrowed image, but that's what most people do!!!
I like the ship, but it's hard to see with the pure black background. Personally I like lighter colors as a backdrop. But then again, I'm kinda boring.

Yeah, I was too lazy to make my own... Maybe over winter break I will.
They are supposed to be stars... but whatever!
as the others said already, get rid of the white space.. also, the red line is partly a bit messy... too low resolution maybe. any way to fix this??
anyway I think it's quite funny

Actually, this thread was started regarding his old avatar, so a lot of those comments don't really apply anymore!
I suppose the "white space comment" still somewhat applies though...

Once you have 500 posts and become a 6502 (which you are) you can simply go into your user profile and add one. Just pay attention to the size restrictions. Further information can be found in the MacRumors FAQ (which is where you should have looked in the first place
)
Got it thanx, i was going there but for some reason it just wouldnt give me the option. Seems to have worked now though.

Oh, don't worry, we're all planning on complimenting everyone's avatar here in this thread except for yours, just to be bastards.

I knew I should have been more paranoid...
Kind of a joke, there was some talk about some other person's avatar and I felt like I should re-steal the spotlight. Just because. Notice the three smilies in my post, mix em together and you get a joking smily... well, not really. You should get it now.markjones05 said:

Looks good....a nice first avatar. I just got my avatar up for the first time. Any aging folk in here recognize the soldiers in my 'tar? Wish I could have gotten a close up with the spread gun

One of amy all-time favorite games - Contra. Good choice!

Heh heh - didn't see your location initially - the good old Konami code too - well done, that takes me back...
