Avatars -WARNING, This thread is HILARIOUS! & A MUST READ!

[Shazzoir]

On behalf of Chewy....

There was no doubt Sticky's audio-capturing device worked, but there were still a few bugs to iron out...

[Shazzoir]

And how could I possibly forget my mate, Topender?

[stickyfingers]

...lol...I love it Shazz!!!! ... **oh my Sticky... what big ears you have!!!** ... geez Shazz... with those I could probably hear my wife change her mind from 20 kms away!!!!! ... great work sweetness!!! ... and Toppy... if you were driving that through the scrub... you could run over an entire family of Yowies and wouldn't have a clue!!! ... and man!!!... are you looking buffed up mate!!!! ... been working out lately eh???... again Shazz... top stuff!!! ... um... my latest effort...



...hey Shazzoir... I've just noticed your Avatar "joining" date!... Sat Nov 19, 2005 ... I had no idea that you have been here since almost day one!!! ... wow!!! ... cheers... Stickyfingers.

[Shazzoir]

But wait, there's more...

Obi Iwanna Kenobi...



If anyone else wants to be 'shopped, PM me a decent quality photo - the avatars are pretty small images, and don't come out real well.

Kind regards,
Shazz

[iwanttobelieve]

Very cool Shazz.

Aways wanted to be a Jedi. The force is strong in this one...

Awesome pics Strange2.

Very, very cool the way you achieve that effect with your images.

I really need to learn Photoshop.

[topender]

Ok OK ....i can wait...i may not be Photoshop literate...but somewhere somehow ...youll walk around a corner...and WHAM i'll be there.....and i'll i'll ...well something will happen...maybe
PS: How did you know i just had my truck fixed up????

just you wait sticky.....remember ill be seeing you next week Oh Yeah

[Shazzoir]

Strange2, did you do that effect by using vectors? Wow, I like it!

Topender, I had no idea you have just had your truck fixed, but since your avatar photo is of you in a fourby (I think) ute, when I found the Bigfoot pic in my PC pictures folder, I thought of you straight away!

Make sure you get a photo of you and Sticky next week, I'm sure we can 'shop you both again!

Kind regards,
Shazz

[Strange2]

Strange2, did you do that effect by using vectors? Wow, I like it!

Hey Shazz, I used a few differed methods to get to this kind of comic book effect. Convert to B/W first, then to pencil, adjust Hue/Saturation, then build up shades and colour with layers and adjust the opacity of each layer to try and get the comic book type effect.

...Strange my friend... that looks brilliant!!!! ... it reminds me of a great movie that I saw a little while ago called... "Sin City" ... with Bruce Willis in it... the similarities in your creations and the movie are along the same lines... if you haven't seen the movie... you should rent it out... it's great!!!... again mate... brilliant work! ...

...hey Toppy... as per Shazzoir's request... a few happy snaps would do this thread wonders!!... what we need are a few more photos of everyone but not just face on shots ... but also profile and angle shots... otherwise we are pretty restricted in what we can come up with eh???... so come on peoples... more snaps please!!!... cheers... Stickyfingers.

Hey Sticky, it's a great film Sin City!... I haven't seen it in a long time. I will have to pull out the dvd again now that you mentioned it...

I think I went that direction after you posted the Yowie Moonshine pic, and the one of Chewy, Shazz & Me...
Excellent stuff Sticky keep them coming....

[Strange2]

What a Yowie hunt might look like if a couple of Skeptics and a couple of Arm-Chair Researchers came along...lol

[stickyfingers]

... ...boy Strange... have you ever got me sussed out!!!!!... are you sure that we have never met before my friend??????... ... great work mate!!!... cheers... Stickyfingers.

[iwanttobelieve]

Very, very funny Strange.

Chewy looks pregnant.

Is he expecting soon?

[Shazzoir]

Cripes, Strange2, I think you've missed your true vocation!

Your amazing canvas had me looking and laughing for ages!

Joe, I didn't know you were a personal friend of Hellboy...nice lycra, by the way.
Anonimus, you must have been the Bouncer to keep the drinkers in line.
Strange 2 and Sticky have obviously been sampling their own product - sticky, that is a pretty great yoga move you got going there.
Marivs is packing some ordnance, but good luck with the Hello Kitty weaponry, my friend.
Iwanna is kickin' back, ready for the BBQ
Chewy... what have YOU been up to, my lad? I like the peek-a-boo overalls especially
Topender, man, what can I say? Looks as if you are doomed to be the buff guy in all these 'shops.
I can see myself having a photo taken (who is the camera person, though?)
Alex is just lurking, quietly behind the tent.
I can't quite make out Hellboy's face....is that Mikka?
And is that Dean getting carted away by an amorous lady Yowie? Sorry ladies, he's taken - LITERALLY!

Bloody top notch effort all round. I give you five gold stars and an elephant stamp.

Shazz

[Strange2]

Very, very funny Strange.

Chewy looks pregnant.

Is he expecting soon?

I'm not one to start roomers but....lol

Hey Shazz, here is a full size link. You should be able to pick out a few things you have missed...lol....Yowie Hunturl

[iwanttobelieve]

Hey Strange2.

Where was the background photo taken?

It looks very similar to Kakadu or Litchfield national park.

Interesting book I'm reading. Any reason why I've got a copy of Diplomatic Immunity?

[stickyfingers]

...on the "Dean/Yowie confrontation" thread... Dean posted a few photos... I noticed Mikka having a little fun in one of the photos... me being me... well... as per usual... I couldn't help myself! .... so here it is...



... "do doo di do doo ... doodoo di do di doooo... walk like an Egyptian"!!!!!! ... cheers... Stickyfingers.

Hey iwanttobelieve,

I think it was Litchfield from memory...

I guess I see you as a bit of a diplomate. As in, you put your voice forward to get Marius & Opus back on site...

[Shazzoir]

I'm genuinely sad that so many of the image URLs for the pics have 404'd and that they are no longer visible, but damn this thread brought back some memories, haha.
