ENTER! Misc. Avatar Contest: Kinda Like Me

[auntiehill]

This week's contest is all about YOU (yes, you). The challenge is to make an avatar that depicts a fictional character that is a great deal like you--in personality, style, emotion, attitude, etc--not necessarily physically. Feel free to interpret it in ANY way you see fit. Anything goes. The only rules are:
1) Standard BBS av rules. Duh. 150x150 max, 140 KB max.
2) It must be Work Safe. Let's keep it clean, people. You know who you are.

The character can be from comics, cartoons, novels, film, TV or even folklore and legends.

Me? I think I'm a cross between Professor Arturo from Sliders and Dorothy from Golden Girls, but Arturo is a bit more shouty than I am, so I went with Dorothy.



I'll put the poll up on Tuesday night.

I think there's medication for that now.

 

[auntiehill]

Come on, gang. Keep those entries coming!

I will also accept artwork. Anything goes, people.

^Thanks!

This is Frederick the Literate. He's the perfect representation of me. If I have my cats and my books, I'm happy.

Very slightly too large, I'm afraid.

Now that you brought up cats, I realize that while I'm often visited by my landlord's cat, Dante has the Quick Stop's cat Annoying Customer. Another parallel.

Yes, that is just a tiny bit too large. That's 151x134. Just take it down one tiny pixel.

That's as far as my photo editor will take it. I keep telling it 150 and it always comes out as 151.

Consider my entry withdrawn. This isn't worth the hassle of finding a different way to do it for one pixel that shouldn't have been a problem in the first place.

^I've take the liberty to make the adjustment. Here is Timewalker's entry at 150x133:

 

[auntiehill]

Thank you.

 

[RJDiogenes]

Well, this was a tough one. Despite the fact that there are many characters that I love and admire, I've realized that there are no fictional characters that are really like me at all.

But here's a character from my childhood who had a huge impact on me:

 

[auntiehill]

Does that mean you're really Zen or that you're good guy to have around in a fight?

 

[RJDiogenes]

Both. I have achieved inner peace and my bony elbows are registered as deadly weapons.

Good to know.


Contest closes on Tuesday, gang. Get those last minute entries in!
