Title: Richard's New Avatar - CONTEST
Post by: Capitan Enrique on May 27, 2005, 05:47:57 AM
Richard is leaving Texas - so he has to lose the cowboy look! Let's give him an avatar worthy of this new site. There are only two rules: 1) you have to use the same head and hair/beard as Richard's current avatar, and 2) the new avatar must have some connection to the military. The winner will be determined by a poll. However, the poll is non-binding, and Richard can of course decide which avatar he likes best, or he can choose several and rotate them - the final choice is his! Put your entries in this thread.

Here is his current avatar for reference.


(Richard se esta llendo de Texas - asi que debe perder el avatar "cowboy"! Le vamos a dar un avatar nuevo para este nuevo sitio. Solo hay dos reglas para este concurso - 1) hay que usar la cabeza y pelo/barba que el avatar actual de Richard, y 2) el avatar nuevo debe tener alguna conexion militar. El ganador se determinara con una encuesta. Pero la encuesta sera solo un sugerencia para Richard - el podra elegir cual avatar prefiere, o quizas varios - la decision final es de Richard. Pongan sus entradas en este hilo.

Aqui esta su avatar actual como referencia.)

That's a good idea. Richard, where are you going? Perhaps that gives me an idea for your new avatar

Hello, Yoyei ...

I am going be living in two places!

During the winter, we will be on an island in the Caribbean. Which, of course, is of great interest to Capitan Enrique and me, as this is where the Pirates were! The island is St.Thomas and it's in the US Virgin Islands.
 
During the summer. we will be on another island off the coast of western Canada. This is of great interest to me (and Olki) as this is where the Northwest Mounted Police were! This island is Vancouver Island. Its largest city, Victoria, is the capital of beautiful British Columbia, Canada.

Interestingly, the initials of both islands are "VI" ... So, it's winters in USVI and summers in VIBC ... ;)

Thanks for the question, Yoyei!

All the best,
Richard

Hmmm. Sounds to me like you need 2 avatars, Richard. A pirate in winter and a mountie by summer. :)
I will be a little sad to see "playmotex" go though....

Hello Customizer ...

A bearded bunny  ... :?:  :?:  :?:  ... :roll:   :lol:


Hello, Krystal ...

Yes, iit's time for old Playmotex to hang up his shootin' irons and move on ... :wink:

However, if my new avatar makes me look even half as fabulous as yours makes you look, it will be a wonderful change!

Am I the only one wondering about what happened to my new avatar? ... ;)

Actually, there are several members who have no avatars at all ... :(

What does everyone think about avatars?

All the best,

Atavars are fun! I enjoy them, they´re customised Playmo after all!  :D

Hmmm, this thread seems to have languished. Maybe what is needed is a deadline to inspire people... But since it is summer, at least in the northern hemisphere, and people are often busy or on vacation, let's give it a while - how about August 15?

Ok, it's been a while, but I finally have some ideas for Richard's new avatar. Since he'll be in the Caribbean, let's start with some piratey/naval types...

Now, let's try a little more naval - Richard trying out his Captain (and Admiral) uniforms...

Now let's go back in time a little and get medieval!

I would have made a Richard Doright, RCMP, but I didn't have one! :( I also thought Richard the Roman legionnaire or Richard the Templar would have been interesting, but I wanted to try and stay with customized Richards (with the exception of the admiral and the sailing master.)

Now let's see which one(s) Richard likes and if any of you have other ideas!

I really appreciate the time and interest that you put into this, Cap'n Henry!

What I don't understand is why you haven't made one for yourself ... :?:
Because ... These are all so beautiful!

All the best and thank you very much,
Richard

Wonderful customs, Capitan Enrique!  :D

I like them all, but my favourite is "Richard the Lionheart". I think this conveys just the right image. The air of authority and regality is notable but appears to be balanced with a look of friendliness denoting Richard's generosity of spirit.  :)

And I got all that just from a playmo figure! ;) Amazing, innit? :P

Maybe we should just run a poll on these avatar customs, Richard, and see which one is the most popular with all the forum members?

Wonderful, wonderful conversions Cap`n Henry Look what´s possible to do without paint, brush or Milliput!  Maybe Richard should change his avatar monthly.  

  I can`t say which is my favourite, never in the field of customising have so many been made that are so good.  :D

I am glad you liked them Richard - I had a blast making them!

And I didn't want to sway you, but the King Richard was my favorite so I am glad you picked that one (for now at least ;)).

(BTW, Yoyei increased the size of the avatars, so I was finally able to use my standard "Captain Henry" klicky. I may change him for something else, but it's funny, after using him for so long I think I'd miss him! :D)

Thanks, Capitan Enrique
I think that I might enjoy being "King Richard the Lionheart" for awhile ... ;)
BTW ... Krystal cropped and tweaked the avatar for me ... :)

I'm not sure how well the crown is going to fit, David ... :lol:

All the best my friends,
Richard
