Jawfin's Most Excellent Avatars
PostPosted:Wed Oct 01, 2008 9:33 pm
Well, as everybody else does signatures, and this group is for Sigs & Avatars, and as I've cornered the avatar market of JKA game sequences, I felt I should make a post and open them up to comment and criticism.
It should be noted I developed for myself (in Delphi of course) a special graphics application to handle image manipulation in bulk.
Each of these tries to tell a story, but with 150x150 it’s sometimes hard to read
So from newest to oldest, firstly (or lastly) my pride and joy
Over 20,000 screenshots in the making; and over 500 lines of scripting code in 7 separate script files.
Lots of camera action, zooming and panning (with noclip), utilising 3rd and 4th person perspective.
It has been said that in show business never work with children or animals; I believe I can now extend that to include NPC's and Bots - they just don't do what their told
Next was for Falcon
The rdfa ydfa combination on 2 unsuspecting victims is all her idea, I added the stealth attack, and we both picked the map.
My original 'Falcon teh Assassin' that we rejected because the map wasn't exciting enough
For Eagle, this was done unsolicited because I had an idea and wanted to play with camera angles
The map is just incredibly gorgeous.
It may also be noted that too not long after I made this our Tifa became known as Falcon again and changed her skin back, and as Ararian is now Eagle we're waiting on what skin he wants to use before I update this avatar.
There was a previous attempt
Both of these were done by me amkissing <Bot>, the only avatars created without NPCs or bots.
Next Senbou (na Dyyor) my bestest bud
This one makes me laugh even now, the Punisher at the Academy kneeling before of Kyle in front of the whole class, only to pop Kyle's head off and holster the saber; "Now I'm teh boss!"
A previous attempt
Thinking that if I spectated Dyyor long enough while holding down the screenshot key, I'd get a good movie; but nothing beats a controlling script.
Also from following Dyyor I have proof of him laming Falcon; busted dude
Finally, my first attempt, my original avatar
It was supposed to be a rdfa but the hop from the wallrun glitched it, and I liked this result more.
As I describe it: I can turn one whole Yoda into two half Yoda's.
I'm proud of all of these, and compared to sigs they take a long time to create.
For example the first two listed both took about 10 hours each, and that's when I knew what I was doing!
/EDIT
I decided to edit my original post to keep all the avatars in one place, thus these have been made since.
Falcon on her server dealing with a lamer
Falcon's latest avatar (so far)
An unsolicited avatar for Necros
A solicited avatar for Necros
For Necromancer from his myspace
Ahsoka's glomp on Pyra
Evan versus rancor, as he sees it!
