ENTER! Misc. Avatar Contest - The Art of the Zodiac

[Timewalker]

Thank you to everyone who voted for the Printing Press in the previous contest.

Astrology/the Zodiac is something most of us are familiar with, at least enough to be able to answer the question "What's your sign?". While astrology has no scientific validity, it has inspired some really gorgeous artwork.

So this time, we're looking for zodiac-themed avatars. No entries from SF/F movies, TV shows, or books, please.

Standard avatar rules apply; size no bigger than 150x150.

Voting will commence Monday next week. I look forward to seeing what entries people come up with.

Wow, that's a cool topic! =) Reminds me of an old cartoon: "An aries? That's something like a capricorn with a perm."

 

[RJDiogenes]

Sweet. My horoscope said there would be a good Avatar Contest today.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

Hmm, such predictions are always a bit difficult to interpret. Had 2 fortune cookies on Monday. One said I'd have exellent ideas and be praised for them. The other said I should keep my ideas to myself. Now, what am I supposed to do? (LOL that'd propably make a good spam thread).

Ooh, that's beautiful! I'm going to have fun searching for the right one.

Here's mine, my own astrological sign (and my Mom's & Hubby's also), even though I know astrology is complete and utter horseshit.

You must keep your excellent ideas to yourself until they come to fruition and then be praised by your minions when they do.

 

[rhubarbodendron]

Good idea, only I don't have minions (yet! )

Here's a detail from our townhall's sundial:

[auntiehill]

You should enter, Ghost. All you need is Google and Photobucket.

NO way! I've no yearning to win one of these...I just like to see the entries and vote on them...too scary to think you might win...

I DO wish people would remember to link the new thread to the old, so I wouldn't miss so many.

 

[Nerys Myk]

I was born on the cusp, so my sign changes from astrologer to astrologer.

 

[Timewalker]

Interesting topic, Timewalker!

Thanks! I wanted to find a theme that would have a wide appeal and lots of possibilities for folks to choose from.

Sorry!

If it helps, I found the old contests by doing a forum search using the term "Avatar Contest" as the keyword. The result was 8 pages that mostly had to do with the avatar contests in this forum. Sadly some of the images have been moved/deleted, but there are still many great ones to see.


BTW, I do intend to enter, but am still narrowing down a long list of choices.

Here we go:

An actual fossilized Taurus! Yes, people, it's REAL!
