All ice cream is now for all beings, no matter how many legs.


I did a freehand at 180x180, the acrylic brush I use doesn't behave well under 4 so making the lines thinner wouldn't be doable since my entire style falls apart around this size. Not sure I'm happy with the spotting at all either but it's much better, at one first they looked like sweat stains and really fit the fat GBS goon stereotype, which I don't think is what you wanted.



sweat stain


I think the color pallet needs work. I could always straight lift the hex color codes from the Rick and Morty scene for accuracy paws probably need a rework too.

just realized I left feet pads out, and doing them I realized the right foot (his left) is pretty bad.



I think the body is good, I can rework the paws if this is what you're looking for.

oh I also think I cut off the bottom while making it somehow blah.



okay I'm not sure I like the claws


without claws


the hair feels unfinished too but I can't think of what it's missing.

e: missed a paint bucket

I think the hair is too big on the 2nd one. Let me know what you are looking for and I can tweak this pretty easy if you want this line style. I didn't leave a ton of room for dress up maybe I should shrink it more?

I am really stunned by the effort you're putting in this!!
I like the concept, he looks so cute. It works quite ok in the size limits, too! If you'd like, I'd love to see him dressed up in a seasonal thing at some point.

If you're unhappy with the general limits of the av, feel free to make it bigger and as detailed as you'd like, because then I will so use him as my next winter sig!! So feel free to experiment around, if you want, I really appreciate it

I put effort in because if someone is going to pay money to use it, it should be good.
Well do you care about things going out of frame? You'll have room for holding items if we shrink it a bit.

Not thrilled with the candy cane but here is a concept piece for an ugly Christmas sweater version





I have layers so it's pretty easy to add stuff and tweak it, and a resize for head room might be a good idea unless you don't want any hats, or don't mind a shrink just for hat versions.

oops had a stray line on the left (his right) arm from an ornament on the shirt that made it look like he had a tiny wrist

Aww thst sweater though.

I don't really mind stuff going out of frame a bit, even Bebo's tail now is not fully in. However if we are talking hats here I don't mind a bit smaller av to fully embrace the hat, because hats are serious business.

This has enough room to dress him in all sorts of things.



Hat

Sweater


I can't really get a good candy cane maybe someone else can provide one I can just jam into a layer.



Unless you see something I missed (which could easily have happened) it looks done, easy enough to tweak any individual part if you say don't like the choice of giving him hair.

I also keep seeing the balls on the sweater as chili peppers but I think that also adds to it being an ugly sweater.

edit: ok I thought it was a quickly solved problem, but due to weird reasons I cannot buy anything currently, so instead I'll put the non-sweater one in my sig in the meantime and let it slowly develop into the sweater and full fashion christmas bebo with christmas approaching

here's what corresponds to the av you currently have, parsing back through prior iterations (I assume this is what you found):



not sure why, but there do not seem to be any PNG or JPG images that conform to this template.

using the wayback machine trick I found:



which doesn't correspond to the naming convention where you can just increment/decrement the number, so there's no way to use it to get others

googling found me this version:



and that template helped me retrieve:



that's the best I've been able to do so far. if you're looking for an avatar you had at a particular time frame, it would help if you could find a post from you during that time frame, ideally a post on the first page of a thread (e.g. you're the op). the wayback machine is spotty about what it has snapshots of, for whatever reason this situation has more reliable results.

The one I have now isn't "mine," it was the avatar of an old byob poster wwry (we will rock you) that i always coveted. I used it because I couldn't find the "sluggoreads.png" av that you managed to magic up...how did you do that? Anyway, I like the one I have now but one day I might want to go back to sluggo so thank you so much for finding it. This is what happens to your avs when you don't want to pay ten bucks and have friends in high places lol.

since the trick might help somebody else, here it is. it's not fancy or anything, just a little time-consuming.

step 1 is to find a post from the user you want to retrieve the av for. it's helpful if it's from around the era where they had the av you want, although not always crucial. the somewhat less intuitive thing I discovered is, as mentioned in the prior post, this works best if the post is on the first page of a thread (e.g. they're the op). posts from subsequent pages of a thread are occasionally archived but often not.

also, fairly recent threads (last few years) are often not archived. so going back a few years helps.

step 2 is to go to the ol' wayback machine:

https://archive.org/

. . . and plug the thread URL into the search bar. if there are any snapshots of the thread, you'll get a calendar view where you can select the snapshot you want.

hopefully when you do that you will see the poster's av as of the time the snapshot was taken.

when you check out the image url, it should look something like this:

https://web.archive.org/web/20170506095457im_/https://fi.somethingawful.com/images/avatars/sluggoreads.png

from that, it should be fairly self-explanatory to retrieve the url of the version on the SA server, you just delete the first half of the url.

this trick can also (sometimes) retrieve non-avatar images lost in the waffleimages debacle or other internet decay

Oh dang, yeah, that was the problem when I did it. I went to the wayback machine but I kept trying to do it with threads that were recent. I didn't realize that if you go back far enough they *do* archive the first page.

I wanted something, but I wanted to keep it simple.

I also do not require anything in return, and like Mani, I feel bad if I'm taking away a cert from someone so to that end if my AV is selected and anyone would like a cert, please ask and the first request can be fulfilled by Ulvir, and any others be fulfilled by Secret Santas :evilgrin:
