Wooo! Thanks, Mysterious Avatar Fairy Godmother/father!

With regards to today's comic, I wonder if them yanking her out of her body is going to cause any complications. It doesn't seem like it would, if the Blinkerstone/trainingwheels metaphor holds up, but I'm a bit worried still. :ohdear:

So, I've tried to get into this Gunnerkrigg avatar action, but since my image editing skills are quite awful it hasn't been very successful. So I've decided to ask for a bit of help. I've been trying to make an avatar out of the middle panel of the last line of the following comic:

http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/archive_page.php?comicID=508

The speech bubble is skippable, I can fit the text underneath, but I want to include the clicking wire strippers, and I just manage to mess up the proportions when I try. I would really appreciate some help on how to sort this out.:)

Did you put a blur filter on it, or has something in my browser gone horribly wrong?

I always thought that would be a great avatar with a bit of animation, but I have not the skills to pull it off.

It was shrunk to 119x119, which could explain it.

Yeah, when I saved it it was about 2 KB to large, so I resized it, with the bluryness as a result. But I thought, bah! It's good enough for now. I'll sort it proper at a later time.

Yeah, I just noticed that.

I ran the original through some crushing tools and tweaked the colour a bit. Got it down to ~15kb. Kind of late now, though...

I was also somewhat bored.



(the first one is really close to 30kb, you might need to do something with it to lower the filesize to make it avatarable)

I'm not sure which of these is proper, since Rey is only looking slightly to one side.

I felt kinda sad that no one picked up that upside down Red so I went ahead and fixed that problem. All these avatars are really amazing though.

What was that? You want someone to post a ridiculous number of Kat pictures? Don't mind if I do!

Ysengrin has the best ethereal form. Coyote is too much of a showboat. :colbert:

I'm not sure what a good subtitle would be though. "The way he sees himself"?

I'm glad you took that one. Ether-Ysengrin is one of Tom's best works.

I haven't seen anyone post about taking those. (I'm updating the original post as people start using them.)

Avatar Fairy? or Fairy Avatar?
I could see her saying that, too. Kat really is the best character.

Also, this thread is giving me all kinds of warm fuzzies. If the avatar fairy comes forward, Tom should draw them a fairy avatar. :3

The best part is that Tom has said he likes it when people use his stuff for avatars. So I like to imagine that seeing all of these floating around the forums will give him a boost for a while.

I'm thinking it's multiple people because while it's a very nice thing to do, $200 on internet avatars is a bit much for one person!

Must be some really nice PR for Tom at least.

On another note, all this talk of money is making me want to buy the published volumes, but that would have to wait for another day. Maybe once when the second book gets re-released/I have the income. I imagine that the story would flow much, much nicer in that format also.
