So, in the VERY near future, we're going to be doing things a little differently on the main site, and one of the changes is that news articles are going to have author avatars on them. What does this mean?

Pete, Tom, and Thyla need avatars! And what better way to get a matching yet unique set than by running a good old fashioned Avatar Contest?

Avatar Dimensions: 100x100 pixels per avatar, preferably less than 10k each in terms of filesize, but this is not as important. *.gif,*.jpg, and *.png formats are acceptable.

Subjects: Pete, Shirt Guy Tom, and Thyla.

Bonus Points for:

1. Creating an extra avatar for Joe Sunday.
2. Making them be a matching set of avatars.
3. Making Pete's avatar a riff on his appearance in this comic.

Judge: Thyla

Deadline: Oh heck, the sooner the better. No firm deadline, but due to software release pressures, the variable deadline may be as early as Monday the 16th, or as late as Monday the 23rd of May.

Prize: A forum title! (Not of your own choosing, of course. That would be silly.)

Submission Guidelines: Please post your entry in this here thread. Any discussion about the contest, or chatting about the entries posted here, should take place in this OTHER thread.

Thanks for playing!

just be there for a laugh!

All of these are a bit over 10k.. about 23-24k each,
due to the transparency. :)

Maybe Pete could use this with H. S. Kim's permission?

Still thinking about the others.

Meh, that's ok....I'm no artist. That'll teach me to log on more frequently!

I should have figured when it said Monday the 16th. :)

Just for fun, I'll post the Thyla one I was working on, though it's not very flattering.
