The Christmas Avatar Thread 2013

I was going to simply put a Santa hat on my Avatar, but Trilby was already wearing a hat and I couldn't figure out a way to add the Santa hat on top of it in a way that looked good. So I put it on Ancalagon the Black instead.

With that said, you're new avatar is amazing.Daystar Clarion said:
OT: Thanks again to Caramel Frappe for my avatar.
I feel a Christmas Madoka avatar would be appropriate as I plan on seeing the third Madoka movie this month for Christmas. Also, she just looks adorable.
In that case, here is the Santa hat I used in my avatar: http://i.imgur.com/iWFJywN.png Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to make an animated gif zooming in on a series of progressively smaller versions of this hat stacked on top of each other.Caramel Frappe said:
Pretty please?
The snow is a ton of single files in one big folder. Way too many to post on the thread. xDJoJo said:
Yeah, not sure what's up with my avatar, I guess the new one I uploaded is too big. But I already included a link in my post to the hat image. But here it is again: http://i.imgur.com/iWFJywN.pngCaramel Frappe said:
*Ding + Light bulb*JoJo said:To be honest, I'm unlikely to return to a Big Daddy avatar any time soon, after over three years I got tired of that theme and needed something new. If I do make a gif, it'll most likely be a continuation of the evil little kid theme >
Aha, I thought I knew that kid from somewhere!
He is the *Cough* THAT kid from the UK Merlin series ... I used to always watch that over here in Australia, but unfortunate my TV can't watch anything right now. >.< (Because I'm living outside in the outside bedrooom, it doesn't get a reception for TV)
Getting back on topic, yeah I can understand how you feel if you want change to say.
I do have to admit that kid is ... evil.
No problem, I mean I will never take the credit for something I haven't done and it is a extremely good avatar in my sense so ... why not?Caramel Frappe said:Two things:
1) Thanks for giving me credit. I truly appreciate being given credit if anything else. It's my role as an artist
2) If you want, I can 'try' making your Avatar Christmas themed though most of his head is already spacing out of the borders lol.
You are the "Avatar smith of the Escapist"!
For my avatar, a santa hat wouldn't do much good ... as you said his head out of the frame so we would not see it.
BUT as Mr. canadamus_prime said before us, snow might be a good idea. (But if you did include that you might need to make the lightning bigger/cover the hand more/intense so we can still see it)
But this might be out of topic ... but I feel that this thread has been derailed ... I wonder who could do such a thing? *Cough* Daystar *Cough* XD
Mine features the flamboyant Mr. Winter!
Merry Happy!
The only way to make a Human Being look more creepy, is to give him antlers.

Very festive. Working in retail, I usually just get to see the commercialized side of Christmas. It's nice to see people getting into the holiday spirit, just for the sake of enjoyment.
I would join in, but I'm too much of a luddite to do it myself.

I actually don't know. I got it from an anime wallpaper [http://www.wall321.com/Nature/Snow/snow_christmas_outfit_anime_girls_1920x1182_wallpaper_16600] site. =[Caramel Frappe said:Just want to say... that's one very adorable Avatar. I truly like it, and gave me a smile.sky14kemea said:
Who drew it if I may ask? Sorry if it's none of my business but- I just love it. Especially with the character's pose!!
I agree though, it's a very cute pose. :3

Ah okay, good to know. I guess anyone who specifically wants it can ask you for a copy.sky14kemea said:
Yup, it's Mordred, there's at-least two episodes with him in to choose from too so that should keep me going for avatar material for quite a while, I find it hard to settle on one avatar for long >.>StormShaun said:
Winter snuck up on me this year. Here's a temporary one until I can get home and make it look better.
I completely skipped fall this year, I'm so lazy.
I'd love to have a Christmas avatar this year, as I don't remember participating last year and if I did, it was probably something involving Renamon. I've decided to move on from that and would love a Colossal Titan Christmas-themed avatar if possible.
I don't think it's possible with my current one though, I kind of pushed my avatar to the absolute size limit getting it just the way I wanted, being a perfect loop and all.
I may attempt to find a new image tonight. At least for December, anyway.

Daystar is butthurt because I got 81730821784 messages about my avatar change when I first did it last year and he's hardly getting any at all! Little does he know Mao was far more iconic in these forums than Okami! Muwahahahaha!Colour Scientist said:Did you have to tell everyone because you aren't getting enough attention for it?Daystar Clarion said:
OP: My avatar's too grumpy for a Christmas hat.
I'm not a Scrooge though, fucken love Christmas.
OP: I would if I weren't lazy. Then again, wouldn't work well with my current avatar since the top of her head is cut-off.
I've already suitably Christmas-ised my avatar according to my mad Paint skills, and taken a title to match. Badge theme is unrelated but the best I can do and I promise to work on being a fat bastard.
Maybe MAYBE I'll re-do it with a hat and then just scrawl HO HO HO on top again. Does anyone have a hat that is suitably blurry?

Aaaand done! I actually edited the hat a little to make it fit Pichu's head better. Quite pleased with the results.
