Shameless Begging for Avatar

I know a few folks around here have made a name for themselves designing avatars, ACE most notably, but some others, too.

This is an open request to all the image-savvy out there. It's pretty tricky, but here's what I'd like, if anyone's up to it. Brer Rabbit is kind of my unofficial alter ego around here. I'd like a picture of him sitting atop Dumbo high in the air, keeping an eye on a road filled with traffic OR an overhead view of a big crowd of WDW-goers beneath him.

I would like a pic of BR with a hand over his forehead to help him see the cars/people more clearly if possible, but I know that pre-existing clipart might not allow for it. Dumbo could be animated or the actual Dumbo ride (although I would prefer one of the actual Dumbo ride vehicles, if possible). As for the scene below, a crowd of people in, say, Fantasyland would be great, but only if the scene is really chaotic...otherwise, just a jam-packed freeway will work.

The idea is that Brer Rabbit (i.e., me) is delivering traffic reports from atop a flying elephant. The "traffic" could be either bumper to bumper cars or elbow to elbow people. (Oh, yeah, and if you could throw in my username in that nice curly Disney font, that would be great, too).

I realize this is probably more detailed and complicated than anybody wants to bother with, but I would be eternally grateful to anyone who came through for me.

Shameless is right. I only expect that kind of thing from a Georgia Southern Grad...

BTW UTC vs GSU -- Two Weeks :)

Oooh, methinks I have found an adversary. Well, I could make a mean "this ain't basketball, so just stay home" type statement...but I shan't. :animwink:

I confess that, beyond our trip to Athens to play Georgia, I find little motivation to get worked up over the football Eagles this year. I was actually (secretly) happy to see them struggle last year...all the people I left in Statesboro need knocking down a few pegs.

(So, yes, I'm a GSU grad...but not a very good one. If they make it to the title game--in Chattanooga, heh--I'll tune in.)

If I have power and internet access after hurricane Ivan, I'll see what I can do. Hopefully one of the other members will help you out before I can.

I've seen your work, and I know it would be great and well worth the wait. Focus on what's important for now. Hopefully this thing will miss all of us. Thanks in advance, just for being willing. :wave:

I could try that... I've done avatars for Kevin Page, and a few others around here... (I have a distinct look to my avatars... and, Grizz has a tendency to show up in them ;))

Anyways... If you want me to try, I'll see what I can do... It should only take me a few hours... File size restrictions will be the tough part...

Ooh, yeah, I saw the one you did for STR8FAN2005. That'd be great! :sohappy:

I never expected this much response, really. I figured everybody would just say "ok, he's nuts, screw that" (like I would). Thanks to everybody who's offered. Hey, if I get more than one, I can rotate them out! :D

Dumbo is done, now for the background, and animating it :)

I might have to make the crowd stationary (it has to be a crowd, as I can't get cars to work), in order to make the filesize limit.. but, I'll see what I can do :)

Done!!!

Well.. kinda... I want to do some more work on it.. Like, I want to work on the crowd, etc... But, I had to scale it all down to fit under 19kb... I'll see what I can do, though... :)

I also want to lessen the brown in the avatar, and make the stick holding Dumbo up more visible (so that its obvious its the ride, and not Dumbo himself)
