Title: New Forum Avatars
Post by: SilverZ on May 10, 2005, 12:40 AM
The JediDefender.com forum avatars have been updated! We’ve uploaded new images culled from all six movies, various Kubrick figures, and the Clone Wars animated series.

In the process of the upgrade, some older avatars have been removed and replaced by updated images. Please double-check if the update has affected your currently selected avatar in your forum profile.

Also, after browsing the new avatar list, if you see a character, vehicle, beast, or other item that you feel is missing, please drop us a line and we’ll work to get your ideas added for the next update.

- Jared

How about an Aayla Secura avatar?  That would be nice.  :)

By the way, I am the guy who is friends with Darth Broem.  I met you guys at CIII.  :)  Great boards you have here!   :)

Indeed, I remember meeting you with Brian that Friday night.  Sorry we didn't get a chance to hang out longer...  Anyway, welcome to JD and enjoy the ride...  8)

As for the Aayla avatar, definite oversight there by us.  We'll get our crack avatar staff to work on that right away, and give you a holler when we've got one ready to go for ya'!

I'm officially requesting that someone (Matt, hint hint) hook me up with an avatar of either one of the following:

1.  The frame from ROTS (it's in the second trailer) where Yoda has this "OH ****!" look on his face right before he gets fried by lightning.

or

2.  A close-up of the "Demented Yoda" puppet from page 207 of "The Making of 'Revenge of the Sith.'"

I'll be your friend if you can swing this.  ;D

You guys will have a friend forever in Dan if you get that Aayla Secura avatar for him.  The guy has it really bad for both Amy and Aayla.  You practically have to wipe the drool from his mouth at C3 when he got his autograph and pic with her. 

Just joking Dan!!!  Well...sort of.

I assume something from either of these two images would suffice, right?

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Jedi%20Aayla%20Secura.bmp)  (http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/aayla.jpg)

Unfortunately, they're both rectangular pix, so they'd have to be cropped a bit.  I trust you'd be bummed if you lost her nice stomach in the first one, or rack in the second one though, yeah?

Quick first attempt from one of our less talented photoshoppers here.  Feel free to use one for the time being:

(http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Aayla%20Avatar%201.jpg)   (http://www.telusplanet.net/public/djustus/Aayla%20Avatar%203.jpg)

But we'll see if one of the pros here to get those cleaned up a bit for ya', Dan.

EDIT:  One more for ya' Dan.  Cleaned up, but unfortunately cropped too.  :-\

(http://www.jedidefender.com/yabbse/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=7119.0;id=307)


And Michael, I've thrown your request to the appropriate fellas behind the scenes, so we'll see what they can do for ya' bud!  Stay tuned...

All I could find on Yoda was this... I avoid all spoilers so I'm a bit afraid to look too hard.

Cough...need oxygen...too much mammory goodness... ;D 

Oh man...life doesn't get any better than this!!  The second one with the rack is absolute gold!!   ;D  Matt, I think you've got a friend for life after this.   :D  I will add this sample one for now.  Looks pretty good!  Hey Aayla, how you doin'?   ;)

FYI I couldn't open the last one, but I can't imagine it being any better than the rack picture!  Man, I'm pathetic! :-[

BTW, I can't take credit for any of the fine work here in this thread so far.  I'm just the messenger, and couldn't photoshop **** to save my life...  ;)

Oh...pant...those aren't bad either...sigh.  You're killing me!  :)  However, just to pacify our family members, I better stick to the orignal two.  Maybe stick isn't such a good verb here.   :o

OK, here's our two final versions that we've officially added into our avatar selections, Dan.  I went ahead and stuck the boob one into your profile though (replacing the one that wasn't on our server), so LMK if you want to stick with it or not.  If not, you can now go in and manually pick the other one if you'd like now...

Enjoy!

Thanks Matt, and everybody who helped out on this!  They look great, she is a very cool character, and it's awesome how you guys came through in the clutch.  I am very impressed with the customer service on this site!  :) 

I will do my breast...I mean my best, to make you guys proud on the boards.    ;)

Michael,

I tried the bug-eyed Yoda from the trailer, but there's too much motion blur... it just doesn't look right as a static image. Here's the Yoda from the ROTS book:

Thank you so much Jared!  That's the exact image I'd been hoping for!   :D

I've added a couple dozen new avatars to our collection. Peruse and enjoy.
