chevkoch: I'd like to be in with this please. Took me a bit of time, although it is simple line work. Rather like it now. In case you wanna guess whose avatars this is based off, I've packed the solution into the 2nd attached image.
Excellent image! I totally understand how seemingly sparse line art can take a deceptively long time. I find making it myself almost laborious.

Your pic needs to be huge, 6 feet square, I think. It's like the pop art I'd expect to see on a wealthy drug dealer's wall in an episode of Miami Vice. My wife is from Miami, maybe she'd let me put one up here. With your permisssion, of course! I could tell her it's Billy Idol.

I recognized Catpower1980 immediately. I need to think about the second avatar. It will come to me!

I'm so often intentionally daft during other giveaways that I can't help but laugh at yours, Yog. Context is key! You've broken my perhaps tiresome rules, of course, but the result fits together really well. Do you know what agentcarr16's function is? (I could probably have worded that question better.)

KasperHviid: I'm in!
Dammit, Kasper, you don't do anything halfheartedly! That's fantastic in all senses of the word. I should spend twelve bucks here more often. I zoomed in expecting to reveal a fractal n-levels deep!

KasperHviid: I'm in!

I used these 4 avatars:
BillyMaysFan59: Ian Anderson strikes a pose. zeogold: Sam from 'Sam & Max'. ( oops - I only read zegolds puzzle request when I was finished. My bad! ) Hunter65536: An eye. (the thing in the upper left is a tiny demon, but I only used the eye.)
dtgreene: A mandelbrot fractal.
Awesome! Best entry thus far if I may say so. (Not just because it has my "eye" included)

I'm concerned that people will be discouraged from entering due to him blowing everybody else out of the water so quickly. Maybe you should've asked him to hold his post until later. XD

Thanks to a mysterious donor, a GOG copy of Impossible Creatures has been added to the prize list, to be awarded as my wife sees fit. An apt reward for a successful mashup! Thanks again, secret benefactor!

"Nothing is written", I thought in response. But I couldn't remember where I heard the quote.

I did cheat and look it up,

Speaking of which, I really need to get myself a new avatar. Sam is nice, but I need something more...puzzly.
I'd ask the people here to make me one, but if I did, Sachys would rise from some steaming pile of poo somewhere and choke the life out of me. Know any decent free online images?

ask people to make you one if you want. You can ask people :) don't let one person determine your actions. Hell, make a GA out of it, that way you give them a gift for doing it? My avatar was made for me as a gift by Ddickinson, who used to be around here more often. I miss her :(

I would, but he insists I pay somebody, and I don't particularly feel like making enemies (that aren't scammers). I'm trying to make a GOOD community impression before my videos, thank you very much.

well if I think of something good to do that is "puzzley" hahahaa whatever that is, I will make you one as a gift :) Least I can do since DD made mine. No promises though, I honestly don't know where to begin, hahaha. and it might be total crap!

And to answer your question, no I don't but i'm sure someone here would.

Hey, thanks! If you do get around to making one, it's completely eligible on my giveaway, and this one if you slap a Mandelbrot set onto it.

Sachys insists as that's what pays his bills. You're more than welcome to begin your own giveaway in search of a new avatar. There are many creative folk that frequent GOG.

Believe it or not, I was sketching potential ideas this morning. My preferred scratchy style doesn't scale down very well. Still, attached is a placeholder if you want it. You're probably best waiting for Crewdroog!

edit:
Aniki's avatar was actually part of an enormous puzzle that took Austrobogulator and me days to crack. So that's a possibility, too.

Neat! You could try submitting that to my giveaway.
Only trouble with that is, I might be a bit biased in my decision if you do. For obvious reasons.

You sure he won't bring death, doom, and poo upon me for that if I did it? I asked him about it in his giveaway and he seemed a little...upset. I mean, the poor guy's been through quite a fury recently, I'd hate for him to return and get even more irritated, and at ME out of all people.

Some artists get very touchy about free work (or even cheap work), but if someone is willing to draw something for you for free then that's between you and them. Don't worry about what Sachys thinks of it unless he's the one you're requesting work from.
