Avatars by Sialia

I'd like to get a custom avatar replacing my KMFDM avatar (which I just put there because I like it), but I'm kinda torn on what I should get. Maybe a trident or something rising out of a sea (based on a literal translation from Welsh and German of my latter two names)?
 

First off Sialia you are doing some great work here. These avarats are totally gear!!!

and on that note can I have one? I've always wanted a cool, unique avatar. I'd LOVE an eagle that is catching an arrow or holding a spear in its talons.

Thanks in advance (hopefully).

er.. oh right.. forgot to ask for a particular avatar, heh.. oops.


If you're still doing them, could I please get a gelatinous cube with big, feathery angelic wings and a glowing halo?
Who could resist?

But while I'm working on this, amuse me: tell me why. There has got to be a good story about this.
 

Hi Sialia,

While I still love the original avatar you did for me, I'm looking for something shiny and new. A full helm like before but facing straight ahead. It should look dark and evil with fire pouring out the eye slits and steam trickling from the mouth holes. You can give the helmet whatever dark designs you can think of. Just note my favorite color scheme, black & red with maybe some etching in silver or gold. (lightning in the motif would be cool too.)

What do you think?

Cheers!

Salia,
I can't believe I didn't notice this thread until just now. I'm continually amazed by the talent found here at ENWorld. I was very taken by the 3d6 avatar, and rather than request a custom avatar of my very own.... Would it be possible to make the dice oxidized brass or copper? Maybe on a wooden background?

Thanks,

Chris
 

A good ways back there was another one of those "Oh boy, Elves! They're just the greatest ever!" threads (of the Edena_of_Neith stripe, memory serving). One of my comments was that I would find playing an awakened half-celestial gelatinous cube with cleric levels more interesting than just cooing over elves all the time.

Then Gez went and stated the critter up, class levels and all. After that, the cube sort of took on a life of its own including me convincing my GM to let me play 'em in a long running campaign after having lost my previous character. The in-game explination for Cube was that the temple the party was currently exploring used to be in the service of the gods of good back before the place was taken over by minions of nasty wicked evil, several decades ago. Unbeknownst to the badguys, this temple housed a particular relic that the party needed in order to bring about the downfall of said evil. Years back when the temple was first coming under assault, one of the upper-ranking clerics cast a planar ally spell to get a guardian for the relic. What she got was Cube. The temple then later falls and gets minion-infested; the minions don't know about the relic or its guardian, all they know is that any time some of them go into a particular area, they disappear. They're not even sure the people that are gone are dead - they never find any blood or bodies, just a small pile of the missing ones armor and weapons... all perfectly clean. With no other idea of what's causing it, or what to do, they seal off that section of the temple by bricking all the entrances shut.

Cube can't dissolve stone, and in any case the relic seems to be safe for now... so it just hunkers down and waits. And keeps waiting for several years until the PCs come along, break down the seals and start poking around looking for the relic. There's a confrontation between the party and Cube in which it's revealed who the party is (non-minions) and why they need the relic. Cube agrees to let them take it, on the condition that he goes with them to ensure his charge is used properly and in the capacity they said it would be.


Heh, Cube was an absolute blast to play. :D

Half the fun of having a unique avatar is having it be . . . unique. It's really hard to do anything unique and fun with dice at 64x64.

Come up with an exciting twist or angle on it, and I'll consider it.

Well, since you're not big on portraits, I do have another idea for an avatar that you might find enjoyable to do. If you get the time. ;)

A pic depicting aspects of a character rather than a facial portrait may have more meaning, and be more commonly appreciated, I think.

I'll be specific as I can so you have a lot you can work with, but anything close would be great.

A straight-bladed katana-style sword with solid mahoghany hilt and no 'crossguard'. The blade should be shimmering damascus-patterned(optional, if too difficult) steel encasing a single , long thin diamond (concavely ground, if you can/want to get that close in detail) which forms the edge of the blade.

The sword should rest on a bed of amber silk, entwined in ivy flowers. Resting at the pommel area of the sword is a single anemone flower. And then scattered at random thoughout the image are such flowers as forget-me-nots, honeysuckle, and lily of the valley.

It would be so incredibly awesome if you could do this one. :)

And to join the chorus of others, your work is incredible. ;)
