I couldn't resist, I stole all the donuts!

Have a sweet tooth this morning, and I was tired of my avatar... so I took all your donuts...

LOL!

I guess this party has become a BYOD... so here we go...

For fun & up for grabs...



Cheers

Just want to get mine in the fray, just for fun really, you folks got mad skillz!

Lol...that actually works really well as an avatar!

But uhmmm....you didn't take my donuts. I gave 'm to DTOM.

You just stole donuts from a moderator, talk about living on the edge! Respect!!



Peace

Wow...I really like this one!

Peace

Oh wow. I have GOT to up my game!

My iPad was totally out of commission for a few days there (thank you 8.1) and my main photo/graphic apps were tied up for a few weeks before they were fully functional with iOS 8 in general. Just got that all back yesterday. So now I am again ready to play. Also, got some new Adobe apps that I am sure I could utilize for these. Maybe a personalized hand drawn one? We shall see!

Beautiful...er..maybe not so much..work guys!

DTOM?



What?????



I'm running away! I didn't notice they were for DTOM!

Here are all the donuts back.. avatar sized:



And here is the orange background I used:



I'm running running running... fast!

a reply to: OpinionatedB

Uh-oh....donut fight!!!

Time is running out....last week to enter the contest
So, if you've been waiting to the last minute.....that time has arrived!!!!!!

This is my last and final entry! Official Entry #3.

What I have done is a two part entry, both a background with an avatar. The Theme is Samhain, the Celtic New Year and the origins of Halloween.

Here is the background:



And here is the avatar:



To see them both together look to your left!

This is my first successful animated gif. I had tried many times to do one, and until now have been unsuccessful.. so I am doubly proud of this entry, just because its something that I had not been able to do in the past... even though I tried.

I was first going to use this one: but found out it was too large, (thank you again Zarniwoop!) so I decreased the file size and cut some out of it...

I also thought some nice music would be appreciated for the theme here (I actually made the first animation to this music!... lol) :



Close the door, keep out the storm,
Far away, far away,
Keep the need-fires burning til dawn,
Oh, leave my soul.
For the cold will come this night,
From far away, far away,
Frost will fall, and ice will bite,
Oh leave my soul.

Bridge 1:
Oh leave my soul,
Please pass me by when the evening falls,
Oh blessed are we,
The Taker of Souls we shall see.
On Samhain Eve.

I can hear the Hunter's hounds
Far away, far away,
I will cast the Circle round,
Oh leave my soul.
Raven-witch I feel your breath,

Far away, far away,
Bringing with you Summer's death,
Oh leave my soul.

Sunrise, the tolling bell,
Far away, far away,
Breaks the Raven-witches spell,
Oh blessed are we.
The leaves of the Oaken King,
Fade away, fade away,
Feed the seeds that will come in Spring
Oh blessed are we.

Bridge 2:
Oh blessed are we,
Summer will come with the May on the tree,
Oh hail to the Queen,,
And under the Sun we shall sing,
To call in the Spring.

Without the flashie stuff that avatar is gorgeous and I wish I had my good screen going now so I could see it better.Very good!
With the added part it rocks better in the smaller format.
Impressive!

Holy crap OM

Excellent job mate Many thanks, if I could applaud that effort I would, but I can't, so you'll have to settle for my respects and this.
