Enter: Avatar Contest 123!

Random Theme:

This is Marc Alaimo playing the villain in an 80s B-movie called Arena. Haven't seen the movie, but boy when I saw this screenshot...I couldn't pass it up! Kind of a Lucius Malfoy effect going on here... ;)
:) I made that screenshot... I hope that I am still allowed to vote for your entry? :D

The movie can be watched on Youtube. It's a bit cheesy, and just your (stereo)typical boxing story, only with aliens involved in some kind of multi-species wrestling... but it's still worth watching (and downloading, and making screenshots...) for... you know. ;)

Interesting fact: Armin Shimerman was in the same movie, playing Alaimo's character's slimy, weasely sidelick named Weezil :lol: with a makeup that makes Ferengis look pretty.

You made it? I didn't realize...I thought that just came off the Internet. Do you want me to remove it? I didn't realize that screengrab was your property. :(

(Oh, and is the movie on DVD? I'd heard it was only on VHS...)

No, please don't, as far as I'm concerned, it's OK. You can always credit me.

(Oh, and is the movie on DVD? )
I don't think so... and I doubt that anyone's thinking about releasing it.
 
Then not to be dumb...but how do you get a screengrab off of a VHS?
You can (if you have a TV card), and I've done it with other stuff, but that's not where this one came from. :lol: Even if I wanted to buy it on VHS, it would be beyond complicated for me to do that, if even possible. Maybe I shouldn't have said anything, I don't know what the rules are about... nevermind... :shifty: :whistle:
 
I've finally decided to enter an avatar contest... yes, this is my first time! :alienblush:

Episode:
avatar_brokenlink-1.jpg

I was a bit worried that it was from the same scene as Eyes's avatar, but I found this particular shot interesting, particularly because of Odo's gesture... it weirdly reminded me of Michelangelo's Adam :cardie:

DS9 theme:
I can't decide which one to use, so I'll ask you for advice...

Still a vedek at this point, but I think she was at her creepiest and most effective in her very first episode. Creepy when she's glowering, creepier when she's smiling, and maybe the creepiest when she's smiling and hugging a child.

Random theme:
I wanted to use Nana Visitor in Wildfire or Armin Shimerman as Principal Snyder in Buffy, but I wasn't satisfied with any of the avatars I could get from the pics of the former, and couldn't even find many pics of the latter. So, instead, I'm going with Alexander Siddig as Hannibal Barca in the BBC film Hannibal, because it's so un-Bashir.
I can't decide between these two - closeup or no-closeup?

Should the period for submitting entries maybe be shorter than two weeks? It seems that everyone who wants to participate does it in the first week, anyway.
 
^We voted on the matter about a year ago but it might be time to vote on it again. We can suggest it to Marie when she gets back from her vacation. I've promised to put up the poll for her while she's away - the voting thread will be up later this evening.

Yay! Wicca!!! :)

For real, like 4 days to enter & 3 days of voting should be good enough.

A week to enter. People might be busy during weekdays, and the more entries, the merrier. Voting can be 3 or 4 days, since one needs less time to vote than to come up with an avatar.
 
Sorry I'm late with the promised voting thread. I fell asleep on the sofa as soon as I got home yesterday. I've been working a lot lately.

We used to have a 5 day entry period and three days of voting a long time ago but somehow it changed. I think a 7 day entry period and three days of voting would be enough time to finish the avatars. As you said most people enter during the first week.

Hey Jetfire! How are things?
 
Here's the recap. It's just a way for me to see if everything is correctly done. The voting thread will be up as soon as I'm done checking things.

Devil Eyes

It's nice to see that Devil Eyes finally entered a contest and that Vulcan Princess and Jetfire have returned to the fold. Hope you keep entering! Avatar contests are a lot more fun the more entries there are! :)
