wormguy Posted May 7, 2007 Posted May 7, 2007 Kick. ass. I didn't even notice until I saw someone using my Dark Samus avatar. That's when it hit me. Time to go about finding a good avatar!
Martin Penwald Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 If only I still had my Account with No Name alt Heh, I actually remember the sig you had for that alt account.
Polo Posted May 9, 2007 Posted May 9, 2007 Hiryu (Card Fighters 2): A Tonberry from FF8: Kid Dracula (NES): And an armed skeleton from Castlevania 2: LT: That Tonberry looks ugly, but the rest are coo. Thanks!
Liontamer Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Finally wanted to give my formal thanks on this (ongoing) project, which has been a huge success. As is somewhat customary around here, it took a LONG time to finally get things implemented. With the switch to vB solidified and djp giving me some limited but handy admin powers, I'm now in charge of maintaining OCR's collection of forum avatars, approaching 1,000 avatars to choose from. As y'all can see, the categories have been reorganized, specifically breaking up all the VG-related avatars into company categories, hopefully making it easier to search what's available. Some of the smaller categories like id, Technos and Namco are very ripe for expansion, so I'm looking forward to future submissions helping us out. I first wanted to thank the UnMod Avatar Project from 2005 for helping freshen up OCR's stagnant collection of stuff. We needed the changes very badly at the time. For this specific wave of the avatar additions, loads of people deserve credit, more than I can name offhand. There are several people who helped on a larger scale that I wanna acknowledge: Joyzilla (who got things rolling), the late and lamented Nineko (who unleashed his inner crazy and got banned, but we still appreciate), Doulifée, The Coop, Evilhead, SoloGamer, Polo, Andy Jayne, & Gollgagh. Thanks for everything, bros. Your hard work in particular had helped make the avatar project the success it is. Hope to see more! Everyone browsing the forums, I hope you enjoy the selection around here as well as OCR's deep music collection.
Polo Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Amen LT! *salutes* Thanks for taking the time to look over our subs, accepting, rejecting, commenting, and being particular about the quality and all. The end result is a golden collection. I'm happy to be a contributor / find my subs in the colorful archives / see people* sporting my avatars / read my name listed among the more notable contributors. Many awesomes. Even if vB's 4-image limit perseveres, I find it's not that big a deal after all. I'd say it forces us to be more judicious with our subs. * wormguy - YOU'RE WELCOME
Kaden Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 This is awesome and everything, and Great job Liontamer. My only question is..Could you put a Vincent avatar in there? It would be greatly appreciated.
Dafydd Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I think the drill is, you find the avatar (or ask Polo or someone), and LT implements it so you can use it.
Doulifée Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 you were harsh LJ, but OCR quality deserve that still on the roll to make some more. i'll check the thread from time to time.
Kaden Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 I think the drill is, you find the avatar (or ask Polo or someone), and LT implements it so you can use it. ok, thanks for the headsup. didn't know.
Rexy Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Pardon me for being slow on the uptake, but how did I get Crash as my avatar automatically? Whatever, thanks very much to everyone who contributed to the new icons. My money's on Arek BTW. *munches popcorn* LT: Nope.
Dhsu Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 HAHAHA. Kudos to the whoever's responsible for that one. Also, sup Rexy, haven't seen you in a while.
Rexy Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 I say you give all credit to Nineko. I tried to submit a Crash avatar myself but he did a better job than what I could pull off. Yeah, I actually haven't been around much outside running PRC. College life - soon to transition to real life - is starting to get really demanding. I'm doing ok though.
Polo Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I noticed two avatars cut off differently. Do these fixes look better? --> --> Also in the following categories: Nintendo --> The R.C. Pro-Am car is called "Rcproam Brighter" (in case you wanna change it) and Square ~ Final Fantasy --> "Ff4face Cecildarkknight" is actually Kain's mugshot. LT: Thanks, bro. I appreciate the attention to detail more than you know. Everything should be fixed.
Doulifée Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 i posted them before, there were "supposed" to be ok. i put them back here. Maybe i'm blind and didn't find them, or Larry changed is mind. LT: I don't recall approving those. I thought the sprites were ugly and blurry to begin with. No dice.
Dhsu Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Blurry I could see, but ugly? Maybe you don't like the art style, but that's no reason to reject avatars. Also lol at "sd2 Marle". So true. LT: Fixed.
Liontamer Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Blurry I could see, but ugly? Maybe you don't like the art style, but that's no reason to reject avatars. LT: It is when I'm in charge. When you're in charge, you can add all the blurry, ugly avatars you want.
Dhsu Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 LT: It is when I'm in charge. When you're in charge, you can add all the blurry, ugly avatars you want. I'd only add the "ugly" ones. Rejecting avatars based on not liking the game's art style is akin to rejecting ReMixes based on not liking techno. That said, I've decided to take your advice and announce my candidacy for avatar judge. SAY NO TO PUBEFROS! VOTE DHSU!
Doulifée Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 LT: I don't recall approving those. I thought the sprites were ugly and blurry to begin with. No dice. is it worth trying to sharpen then, and then less blurry? or their ugliness is a no go whatever i try? LT: No go, sir. Move on to greener pastures!
Polo Posted May 16, 2007 Posted May 16, 2007 Here's the hero from Abadox (NES): Kyle Blackthorne from Blackthorne (SNES): Rubas, end boss of Deadly Towers: And an enemy witch from Namco x Capcom (PS2): LT: In order, 1) can't tell what that is, 2) ugly, 3) ugly AND can't tell what that face is supposed to be, 4) YES
Liontamer Posted May 26, 2007 Posted May 26, 2007 Saw this badass sig from The Shizz, courtesy of matsunami: Could anyone make 32x32 images of the fighters with their regular faces, with the game background included? Could also be from the matchup screen, if those images don't look bad with a resize. EDIT: Oh shit, don't forget Mr. Dream.
Polo Posted May 28, 2007 Posted May 28, 2007 Shingo Yabuki and Rugal from The King of Fighters R-2: Druaga from Namco x Capcom: And since Evilhead started giving borders (and backgrounds) to some Card Fighters avatars, do you suppose Juli, Shermie, Chun-Li, Kula, and Vanessa could use the same upgrades? To be consistent with the series, I mean. (Capcom ~ Fighters) (SNK) (Capcom ~ Fighters) (SNK) (SNK) LT: Wasn't feeling any of the 3 new ones (ugly sprites), but thanks for the background updates on the existing ones we had in order to keep the look consistant. Nice work.
