Hi, folks. Acid Flux here.

Log in to see images!

Well, I’ve had this avatar for a while, but I need something new. I’m going to be redesigning my Storefront with a new theme, and so, since there are so many talented artists & Photoshoppers here on FWZ, I decided to enlist those talents in this contest.

So, the challenge here is to make an Avatar that fits the theme of my New Store, and is still something I’d like to have for a while as my personal Avatar.

Here are the parameters

1. Has to have a human skull as the main theme of the image, preferably a red skull, but not necessary.

2. Has to have a Patriotic theme of some sort. The new Store theme is going to be ’Made in America’.

That’s pretty much it. Other than that, get creative. The one I pick as my favorite will receive 3 BP.

BONUS: If the Avatar I choose is also animated, the award increases to 5 BP. It could be a flag furling in the background, a twinkle in the skull’s eye, or whatever. But no spinning skulls. I’ll get dizzy doing that all day.

I know you can do better than my own attempt here:

I really like that. I like a lot of these, actually, but this is in the lead so far.

Now, any way to get that skull to blink/wink every so often, like once every 7-10 seconds?

Because that would look awesome, I think.

I’m not the best with animation, but here you go.

Well, hell, if I can custom order… how about having him ‘speak’ every so often (i.e., just the jaw moving a bit), almost like he’s a carnival barker or auctioneer?

Maybe in between ‘eye-twinkles’?

Well, ****..that’s a bit out of my league, like I said I’m pretty bad with animation haha.

I’ll give it a shot though.

OK, I added some jaw chatter. Let me know what you think.

I think that you’ve raised the bar significantly. I like the cartoony style artwork in general.

Okay, last ‘special request’. What about the jaw motion, but without the eye flicker? I like the pause between jaw animations, though. What if it was 3 seconds ‘paused’ time, 1 second ‘animated’ time, just jaw animation, no eye flicker?

I wasn’t too keen on the eye flicker either, haha. Here’s the image to your specifications:

Yeah, I think I’m really liking this one.

This is the one to beat, folks.

If you think you’ve got anything better, go for it. I’ll check back in the morning to see if there are any other contenders.

In fact, the only thing that could make this one better IMO is a non-twinkling ‘catchlight in the left eye, sort of like my current avatar.

But that’s being really nitpicky, I know.

I think for my next contest, I might have people design their own Avatars. There are a lot of regulars on the board that have stock avatars. I think some of them deserve a custom avatar, but maybe they don’t have access to BPs.

Hmmm…
