+El Diablo Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Some of you really old guys remember the last avatar contest we had. There are so many new ones now, I think we should do it again. What do you think? Of course the past winners, Marky, Moun10bike, and Dinoprohet are out of it. The rules are simple. Submit your avatar. Your peers will vote on the best. The avatars must be in line art, since they have to be carved on a staff. I will receive entries until August 13th. After that time we will vote. Last time there were three winners, this time, only one. Who has the best avatar? El Diablo Quote
+Stunod Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 It would be tough to carve the chicken, huh? Too bad Quote
WH Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Might as well just start making the staff for AmishHacker now. Quote
+greyhounder Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I really like my avatar -- it was done by Amish Hacker too (I think he's the winner of this contest!) but mine is very carvable! Bec Quote
+Lehigh Mafia Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Mine is Cute... Thought of it all by myself... Quote
+geographer-pam Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Well, AmishHacker still has mine in his que (no rush - I know it will be awesome!) but I know it will be very carvable! lol I just went to look at your hiking sticks and they are awesome! I will definitely be wanting to order one of those! Quote
SCP-173 Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I'm pretty happy with mine. Vargseld means fire wolf in Swedish, so it's fitting. Thanks for the contest! Quote
Pipanella Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 This is my original avatar when I first joined (March of this year). I think it would look AWESOME carved on a hiking stick (which I could DEFINITELY use when I go back to finally conquer Mount Riante in Arkansas! ) Quote
+Snoogans Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) Well, It's NOT my avatar, but people will PM me, or send email, or even post, if I forget to use these in a post of mine. Just plain ol' Snoog: This is almost exactly the way I sign a log book and my sig items. sad Snoog Really happy Snoogans Licking lips Snoogans Mad Snoogans Dizzy Snoogans Devlish (El Diablo) Snoogans (Yep, I'm sucking up.) Reeeeeeally mad (or constipated) Snoogy.... Angelic Snoogans Crying Snoogans My sister, JusMeLP, is working on more for me.... BTW- Dino Hunters made these ones for me, so if I win with these, I'll buy them a staff with their own avatar on it in thanks. Edited August 6, 2004 by Snoogans Quote
+Snoogans Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) My regular avatar is still on my profile page: (It will return one day...soon) Ichthys-Nitrus-Oxidus INoURButWutAmI BTW- I seem to have discovered you can only post 10 images per reply... Yep! Still sucking up... Edited August 6, 2004 by Snoogans Quote
+Quintheeskimo66 Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Well, mine is nothing special, but I can't win if I don't enter. so here goes..... Quote
+Fenix6372 Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) I'd like to enter mine, pretty easy to carve, nothing complicated, but man would it look cool on a hiking staff Hope the rest of you like it even if I don't win! By the way, if I actually do win I can send just a plain b&w outline (much bigger than my av of course) of it to make it easier for you if you want. Thanks again!

Cholo Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Moo! i like the cheesehead cow. Oh yeah!...well, you don't live downwind of all that cheese and cow pastry. On topic: I'm not in this contest, even tho I was in the original and my avatar is an example of 'line art' that is fairly easy to carve. I have a hiking stick that I made, and this contest is probably better left to the newer people. In the original, someone made up a thread with all the entered avatars shown. The vote was by email to El Diablo, no voting in the forums and only one vote for the top three. If you tried to go Chicago and vote more than once, all your votes got thrown out. That's my recollection, I'm sure El Diablo will clarify this. Quote
+Team Maximus Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) Well mine is the subject of my sig item as well, and I created it all by myself This version might be a bit difficult to carve, but it is essentially line art and if I won I could supply a simplified version. Edited August 6, 2004 by Team Maximus Quote
AZcachemeister Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 A shoe-in! Highly carveable too, as you may notice! Quote
Mushtang Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Staff eggs and staff, staff ham eggs and staff, staff cheese staff and staff, staff staff staff and staff.... Quote
GrandpaCannon Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) I would love a hiking staff with my avatar on it. I already have a bath towel with the Geopatch on it curtesy of my wife. Edited August 6, 2004 by Cannonlaw Quote
+Hydnckr Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 As someone else said, you can't win if you don't enter. I love my avatar, Chris from the avatar forum created it, I didn't know exactly what I should use for my name (Hydnckr = Hide n Seeker) but he came up with this and I asked to have Ohio placed behind it with a flag in NW Ohio. But I think everyone will agree, there are some great avatars out there now. Thanks (and in the long shot that I win, the state of Ohio can simply be an outline) Quote
+Team Perks Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I would just love to see someone try to carve a three-eyed cat on a hiking staff. Quote
uperdooper Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Moo! i like the cheesehead cow. Oh yeah!...well, you don't live downwind of all that cheese and cow pastry. i live in the country. the smell of cow residue is not unknown to me. i still like the avatar. Quote
+joefrog Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Hey, I remember the first contest -- and I still hope for a froggy staff! Quote
+wray_clan Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 You might as well hand over the staff now. I'm entering. Quote
+Mud Puppy Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I could do a line art version of my mud puppy Quote
+LXA_KA_1287 Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Maybe my guy's a little complex...but maybe not? Quote
+QuickKarl Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 One of your hiking staffs with the racoon would be great. bronz Quote
+GatoRx Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I'll throw mine in too. I have a line-only version of it stored somewhere from when I had the stamps for my wooden nickels made. Quote
2oldfarts (the rockhounders) Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I the past I have not even come close...so, just forget mine. I vote for SNOOGANS!! Shirley~ Quote
+KaiserKlan Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Mine was burned into a wooden nickel (as many of you have them) so a hiking staff should be easy....er hard... you know. Quote
+Monkey Toes Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) I carved mine out of rubber, shouldn't be to hard to do it in wood. Edited August 6, 2004 by MonkeyToes108 Quote
+Team Flying Dachshund Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 (edited) Do you like my new avitar? also I am trying to maek a staff similar to Gandalf the Whites staff in L.O.T.R. What tools would you suggest that I use. I ahve a dremil if that helps. The wood is a straight big piece of cedar approx 3 inches in diamiter and 6 feet high. Edited August 6, 2004 by Team Flying Dachshund Quote
+Perrin Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Well, mine had a respectable showing last time. Maybe I can win this time since those other guys can't enter again Quote
+joefrog Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Moo! I saw beans, lotsa beans, lotsa beans..... Quote
+Renegade Knight Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I think we should just pick from the pool of lurkers who have posted exactly once, where that one time was in the "Who are the lurkers thread". Of course we have to pick one with an avitar... Quote
ju66l3r Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Here. This is *my* avatar. I want to be able to read the coordinates on all 5 GPSrs on the hiking stick, though. Just kidding.... Quote
uperdooper Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 i would like mine on one, but i still laugh every time i see the cheeseheads. it just makes me happy. mine just for fun. Quote
+Marky Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 El Diablo, do you want me to host an Avatar Viewer Page like last time? I would be happy to. --Marky Quote
+El Diablo Posted August 6, 2004 Author Posted August 6, 2004 El Diablo, do you want me to host an Avatar Viewer Page like last time? I would be happy to. --Marky I was going to ask, but I didn't want to impose. Thanks! El Diablo Quote
+Marky Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 Okay, I entered all the line art (or close enough to line art) entries into the database. I will attempt to keep up with the entries. Feel free to e-mail me if you think I missed your entry. --Marky Quote
+Cloudchaser Posted August 6, 2004 Posted August 6, 2004 I'd like to be in the contest but my avatar isn't line art ;( It's a new one courtesy of Amish Hacker Quote
+Snoogans Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 (edited) OOOOOOOO, this could go on the other side of my new El Diablo hiking stick: Sort of showing "The duality of the Snooganesque" Edited August 7, 2004 by Snoogans Quote
+WVDan Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I'd like to try again. There are several I've seen that I really like, so I doubt I have much chance this time either. Quote
+geographer-pam Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 OOOOOOOO, this could go on the other side of my new El Diablo hiking stick: Sort of showing "The duality of the Snooganesque" OMG Snoogans - you crack me up! You really are too funny for words! Quote
