Explain Your Avatar: The Sequel!!

[Prudence]

There's no school like the old school!

-shot for overused saying-

[Mason_Ireton]

It's very interesting seeing different avatars, everybody has such great designs. Luke's avatars rock..hard. I love the gnome/lord of the rings character, excellent.

I wanted to show off my Colorado State school spirit with this picture of a ram (a male big horn sheep). Go Rams!!!

And to not waste bandwidth, I'll explain my siggy here as well which is kind of self explanatory. It's a 2007 Shelby Cobra Mustang GT500. A very schweet car. It has a 400 horse power 350 cubic inch (that's 5.7 liters or 5735 cc for you metric folk) over head cam shaft super-charged V8 engine. It also has a compass in the stalk and a thing that tells time.

I'm a bit stumped on what holiday object to let Gromit hold on to (as well as what holiday he'll celebrate), so he's got a nice coming soon sign.

And, of course, these two go unused until I figure out a proper time/season for them:

Escapay, your new avatar is screaming for a new spoof on my part. Well ... Gory Gromit came and went. His reign was interrupted.

Anyways! I now present my newest masterpiece! LADY TREMAINE BAYWATCH BABE! I made it out of a pic of Tremaine. I cut off her head, and placed it on Pam Anderson's body. I edited Anderson's body with Paint, gave it flat colours, cleaned up every pixel, coloured her bikinis pink, and integrated it seamlessly with Tremain's head (which was also edited like Pam's body (flat colours/clean up/enhancements)) and drew the background.

I'm eager to hear your reactions!

Wow, Julian, this sounds like an awful lot of work, but the product is amazing!! Absolutely hilarious!!

Thank you so much! It was a lot of work - but I enjoyed doing it as I always try my best to make my avatars interesting, and potentially funny.

[Zoltack]

I love it JC!!! That might be a good candidate for Best Avatar 2008.

[Prudence]

What possessed you to create that, Julian? It's hilarious!

[Isidour]

please...please give back the wand to Lady Tremaine!!

ups...

naaa, it´s an excelent and very original avatar, and as it was said before, a solid contester to the best avatar

[Prudence]

Lilo: "This picture of Lady Tremaine is very interesting. She did something with a magic wand and altered time as we know it. I think she could be right on this island today, in the present!"
Myrtle: "Whatever, Weirdlo."
Lilo: "But Myrtle, it's important. Jumba said that any altering of time done by Lady Tremaine affected everyone in her country."
Myrtle: "So?"
Lilo: "So that could have changed what happened to your ancestors! It's not my fault if you suddenly stop existing."
Myrtle:

-poof // ceases to exist-

This oddity was brought to you by Myrtle's great-great-great...I'm kidding, of course.

[Jules]

Wow! I didn't think so many people would like it! Thanks for the compliments guys (or gals)!

[Leonia]

Mine would warrant too many spoilers between the video games Tales of Destiny and Tales of Destiny 2 (the REAL Tales of Destiny 2, not Tales of Eternia that was released as Tales of Destiny II).

I'll just say that the character in my avatar is named Judas and explain the text.

"Yume de Aruyouni", translated from Japanese, means "like a dream". "Yume de Aruyouni" is the theme song of Tales of Destiny. The microscopic text is the second verse of the song.

Yume de aru youni nando mo negatta yo (Like a dream, I prayed many times)
Utsumuita mama sasayaita kotoba kanashiku kuri kaesu (Repeated the words you've whispered to me when I was down sadly)
Hageshii ame ni boku no yowai kokoro wa tsuyoku utare (My weak heart was heavily beaten by the violent rain)
Subete no tsumi wo nagashite hoshikatta (I wanted it wash away all my sin)

[lord-of-sith]

Haha! Love it JC!

[Escapay]

Okay, the day of judgement has come. I have asked my Gromit Avatars to come together for a vote, and decide which of these shall be the next in my Avatar series... Will it be my wonderful namesake Dory, the equally funny Hutch, or the ever-reliable pink elephant? Which of these three shall join the canon of Gromit Avatars by Escapay?

The Nominees:


The Esteemed Panel of Judges:


Gromit Plain: *raises right eyebrow*
Gromit Christmas: *lowers both eyebrows, raises right eyebrow*
Gromit Valentine: *raises left eyebrow, lowers left eyebrow*
Gromit Shamrock: *raises both eyebrows*
Gromit Easter: *lowers left eyebrow*
Gromit Coming Soon: *lowers right eyebrow, raises left eyebrow*

Some help you guys are.

Gromit Plain: *raises left eyebrow, lowers right eyebrow, raises both eyebrows*

You do have a point.

Gromit Easter: *lowers right eyebrow, raises both eyebrows, puts hand to his chin*

Hmm, I didn't think of that. What do you think, Gromit Shamrock?

Gromit Shamrock: *throws arms up in frustration, shakes his head.

Now, now, don't be like that.

Gromit Coming Soon: *puts right hand on forehead, shakes head, then raises both eyebrows*

Fine, I'll ask everyone else then.

UD forum members, what shall Gromit hold now? Voting ends either Saturday at 9:38 pm or whenever I feel like ending them.

[Ting Ting]

Viva la Pink Elephants!

[CJ]

Escapay, my vote goes for the pink elephant. After all this time of making the elephants dance for you, it's time to reward them. All kidding aside, to me, Dory feels more like a summer avatar. And Hutch looks like a bug at that size (it took a while for my eyes to focus enough to tell it was Hutch).

[Jules]

Well, my vote goes for the "PINK ELEPHANT GROMIT"!!! Da Da Dum!!!

Lady Tremaine wants one to cuddle with her on the beach.

[lord-of-sith]

Definatley the Pink Elephant Gromit!

[ichabod]

I think it's time Gromit got has hand on something pink and wrinkly. Go pink elephant!
