Avatar Requests
Submitted by Lothere on Sun, 02/03/2008 - 16:33.
I've just spent a good part of the afternoon going through old pictures and making little 85x85 pixel avatars of characters, only to discover I have an enormous number of characters. So let's do this the other way: if there's an avatar you think we need or you want, in particular, tell me, and I'll go from there.
(I know, I know... I don't even have all the main-main characters yet....)
Don't forget I have thousands of unused and never-before-seen pictures over here, so unless there is a picture that is the obvious choice, I probably have something better for avatar-purposes than what I've put up in chapters. I tend not to include pictures where you see the character's face straight-on, since it looks like he's looking back at the camera. But I take a lot of that kind, because some of those Sims are just so photogenic.

Submitted by François on Sun, 02/03/2008 - 23:47.Ethelwyn He's like my favorite good looking character of your story ! As for the girl, I think Lady Margaret is so pretty too... It must be so long to find good pictures of your sims in all your photographs !
Oh, it will be easy to do
Submitted by Lothere on Mon, 02/04/2008 - 05:44.Oh, it will be easy to do Ethelwyn. He always looks gorgeous in every situation, from every angle. I will do Margaret too... She was so adorable at the Old Man's birthday party this year (which you haven't read yet), so maybe I'll get one from that chapter.
The avatar of Elfleda looks
Submitted by Devin on Mon, 02/04/2008 - 20:21.The avatar of Elfleda looks so clear and beautiful. I'm surprised how clear it looks since she died in 1071.
Egelric's house was such a
Submitted by Lothere on Mon, 02/04/2008 - 20:30.Egelric's house was such a small lot that my video card could sometimes handle it. The Elfleda avatar was from the chapter when she told Egelric she was pregnant.
Just a request for...Cedric.
Submitted by Nimue on Tue, 02/05/2008 - 21:35.Just a request for...Cedric. I know, it is quite surprising coming from me. Although I do adore dear Gunnie too!
Well, Vash has completely
Submitted by Lady F on Wed, 02/06/2008 - 14:24.Well, Vash has completely stolen my heart - Is it too much to ask for to ask for an avatar of Vash?
I've almost caught up to now, i'm already in June in 1085!
I think I should be rewarded
Hello hello! I am back and I
Submitted by Verity on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 04:01.Hello hello! I am back and I am so excited about your new forum (and very happy with my avatar thank you very much . I didn't know where to post that I thought this was an awesome idea but this seemed like a fairly okay place to do it. I am sort of new to this whole forum thing so navigating is a bit interesting. So if I was supposed to say this somewhere else then sorry . And I don't even have an avatar request at present so I have definitely posted in the wrong place but anyway... I am just happy to be back in an internet connection area and with my sims. Man I have a lot of Lotherian catching up to do! Especially now there is a whole new website! Hooray though
Welcome back! This
Submitted by Lothere on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 05:26.Welcome back! This wouldn't be a bad place to express your glee, except for the irony of posting in the avatar request forum when you already have the Ultimate +10 Avatar of Brudey Hotness.
New avatars up: Vash
Submitted by Lothere on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 16:39.New avatars up:
Vash Ethelwyn Margaret Cedric
And I still haven't decided on a picture for Hottie Leofric, but here's Perv Leofric: (could not resist)
Ooh, those are fab. I love
Submitted by Cassie on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 18:34.Ooh, those are fab. I love the one of Ethelwyn, he looks so smoldery...
I couldn't decide between
Submitted by Lothere on Sat, 02/09/2008 - 18:37.I couldn't decide between that one, or one of wet-haired, shirtless Ethelwyn... or of hapless, I can't believe this is happening to me Ethelwyn... I think some characters deserve more than one.
Lothere, you couldn't have
Submitted by Choco on Tue, 02/12/2008 - 12:43.Lothere, you couldn't have picked a creepier, pervier avatar of Leofric. That's going to be haunting me for a while.
Would it help you if we contributed to the avatar cause? I agree that some characters need more than one avatars. Like Leofric. That one is scary!
Why does the Brude avatar
Submitted by Lisa on Tue, 02/12/2008 - 12:53.Why does the Brude avatar look like a zombie?
Noooooooo, Lisa, you have
Submitted by Lothere on Tue, 02/12/2008 - 13:10.Noooooooo, Lisa, you have ruined the Brude avatar for me forever! He doesn't look like a zombie! He looks all smoldering and moody and stuff! Is it just the coloration? I think that avatar was from the first Araphel chapter, "A living body is claimed". The lighting is rather greenish in that one:
Choco, that's the Stuffing Hilda's Hand Down His Pants Leofric (Collect them all!), except that I fixed the lighting so that you could bask in the full glory of his leer. Glad you like it.
I just enabled Avatar Selection administration for authenticated users, so you can upload new Avatars for the benefit of others now. (You always could upload your own custom avatar to your own account.) I can't enable only-uploading so technically you can also administer avatar permissions and even delete them, so I will have to trust you all to behave. (Else I will send the Perv Leofric and Zombie Brude after you, and if you're really bad I may even unleash an Imin avatar.) I also reserve the right to delete them and/or modify them if you offend my sensibilities, but that's not easy to do, as Perv Leofric proves.
Oh God, an Imin avatar!
Submitted by Cassie on Tue, 02/12/2008 - 14:15.Oh God, an Imin avatar! *Shudder*
I have a request for Wynflaed. I love her.
Two new ones: Seven
Submitted by Lothere on Tue, 02/12/2008 - 17:56.Two new ones:
Seven Wynflaed on her wedding day (awww!)
Sorry about that, Lothere.
Submitted by Lisa on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 10:15.Sorry about that, Lothere. *sheepish grin* But Brude's av is green and makes him look zombie-ish to me. Moldy instead of smoldering. *snicker*
*heart gets all melty at Seven's av*
Lothere...my browser crashes
Submitted by Cassie on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 12:36.Lothere...my browser crashes every time I try to edit my profile. I find it a bit worrisome but it could just be my computer...does anyone else have this problem?
How troublesome, Cassie... I
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 13:04.How troublesome, Cassie... I wonder what part of the page is doing it to you? If you click on the Avatar Selection link in the sidebar and then click on Manage Avatars, does it crash for you there too? The only thing on a profile page that seems crash-worthy is the little display of Avatar images that you can select from.
What browser/version are you using? I've tested on Firefox and IE6, but never on IE7 I think.
(This is starting to feel a lot like my job. )
I don't think Brude looks
Submitted by Verity on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 13:19.I don't think Brude looks like a zombie... I think he looks all smouldery and phwoarish but I guess I would since he is my avatar
Seven is ultra cute.
And big laughs for the collect em all Leofric set. Not sure I want the one we are talking about though
The avatar selection works,
Submitted by Cassie on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 14:41.The avatar selection works, but not when I go to edit my own. I'm using a Safari browser.
Safari! Curses! This
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 14:58.Safari! Curses! This really is sounding like my job. We never test on Safari until the last minute, and then Doh!
Can you turn off JavaScript, and does it help? I have a Mac at home (or rather my husband does) but I am afraid to touch it. So I never tested with Safari. DOH!
It's possible I can, but I
Submitted by Cassie on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 15:45.It's possible I can, but I have no idea how. Sorry to stress you, Lothere!
That is not stress, that is
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 20:07.That is not stress, that is consternation!
I tested on Safari at home -- editing Alred's account, anyway -- and it worked. So.. I don't know. But I couldn't figure out how to disable Javascript either. Maybe another Mac user can advise.
But it seems to me you've been able to edit your account before, since you had another avatar before. Do you remember when you were last able to edit your account? (Or maybe was it another computer? ) I can try to figure out what I have changed or added since then.
If you're simply desperate to change your avatar, let me know and I can do it for you in the meantime.
It's the same computer, and
Submitted by Cassie on Wed, 02/13/2008 - 20:12.It's the same computer, and I think it was only a couple of days ago that I changed it to Eithne. Very odd...
Oh dear, that Leofric avatar
Submitted by Cearbhaill on Thu, 02/14/2008 - 20:04.Oh dear, that Leofric avatar is so hauntingly evil! Ethelwyn's is quite gorgeous.
I know theres already an
Submitted by Taryn on Fri, 02/15/2008 - 00:53.I know theres already an avatar for Paul, but its not sexy enough for me. He looks all sinister, could we get one that looks all blue eyed and sexy??
I'm in love with his absolute hottness, always makes me blush coz its really just pixels, but still - he's hot.
I admit, I have a hard time
Submitted by Lothere on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 06:37.I admit, I have a hard time seeing Paul as sexy unless he is looking sinister, so it makes it hard for me to choose a picture. If you have one you would like to nominate, please do. Meanwhile here is what I quickly came up with:
And here's a bonus avatar of Shosudin, since I am still strangely pleased that Choco finds him phwoar-worthy among all the other more obvious candidates:
I like the left one
Submitted by François on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 08:33.I like the left one (mysterious) and the middle one (fair and beautiful) but I definitely don't like the right one. He doesn't ressemble like Paul on this picture.
The one on the right is from
Submitted by Lothere on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 08:39.The one on the right is from a chapter you haven't read yet... when Paul was unhappy about something Cat had done and a little stunned about something she had said. It's so hard to find a picture of Paul that doesn't look like a goat-faced boy.
Goat-faced boy, lol. Well
Submitted by Taryn on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 12:53.Goat-faced boy, lol. Well I'm pleased anyway, thanx
Thanks Lothere! How pleasing
Submitted by Choco on Sat, 02/16/2008 - 15:10.Thanks Lothere! How pleasing it is to see Shus again. I am a bit surprised no one shares my agreement about him but it does make it cool that I'm the only one who thinks so, I guess.
Can we have an avatar of
Submitted by Devin on Thu, 02/21/2008 - 08:11.Can we have an avatar of Wulf please.
Oh, and one of Connie,
Submitted by Cassie on Sun, 03/09/2008 - 14:19.Oh, and one of Connie, please? Preferably one showcasing those gorgeous eyes of hers.
Two more new ones: Wulf
Submitted by Lothere on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 08:40.Two more new ones:
Wulf Connie
I tried to find a picture where Connie didn't look too sad, but I have come to the conclusion that Connie always looks sad, even when she's smiling. Not that I can blame the poor girl... she's lost her father and now her sister and best friend, and she's far from home, and the only people she knows are Cat and Flann and Aengus and Maire, and none of them have much time for her.
Thanks Lothere, Wulf looks
Submitted by Devin on Sat, 03/22/2008 - 08:49.Thanks Lothere, Wulf looks adorable and Connie's eyes look even greener.
If I didn't know any better,
Submitted by Choco on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 13:08.If I didn't know any better, I would have throught that Connie and Wulf were brother and sister with those pictures. At least it looks believable that they're at least cousin.
Well, they are at least
Submitted by Lothere on Wed, 03/26/2008 - 13:13.Well, they are at least cousins. And God knows that face breeds true.
It does happen to be a very flattering shot of Wulf though. He makes an interesting-looking man, but he is a somewhat freaky-looking kid. He already has too much of his dad's batholithic facial structure.
I just realized Iylaine
Submitted by Cassie on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 16:30.I just realized Iylaine still doesn't have an avatar! Can we have one, pretty pretty please? (I know, I'm easily dissatisfied...just got the one of Connie and now I'm restless again!)
Good point! Iylaine with
Submitted by Lothere on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 16:32.Good point! Iylaine with hair up or Iylaine with hair down? She's quite a different-looking young lady depending. (Also there's crabby Iylaine and sad Iylaine and the occasional merry Iylaine...)
And then there's snobby,
Submitted by Cassie on Tue, 04/15/2008 - 18:48.And then there's snobby, princessy Iylaine...
Hmm, I dunno. She's has a beautiful and interesting face in all her moods. I think she's a pretty photogenic sim, too.
Hmmm Lothere, could we
Submitted by Twistedchic911 on Wed, 07/09/2008 - 19:40.Hmmm Lothere, could we possibly have a Dunstan Avatar? I've taken a recent shine to him and would like to plauge everyone with a dopey picture of him looming out at everyone as they read my half-thought out replies.
Hmmm Hmmm Tiffany's puppy dog eyes?
