I have no idea why i am not asleep (other than i just got home).

If this is something that interests you, we can work out the kinks regarding spacing/contrast/text.

While I'm here, I might as well ask for a new background image.

It needs to be simplistic, with contrast to the stats that show up, so they are legible. I prefer real pics as background, and of course, a wolf theme.

Nothing too busy. Less is more.

Months ago I promised a druid/wolf avatar to you...sorry it took so long. Don't feel obligated to use it though.

Just to let everyone here know, Tothetenthpower has posted up a new monthly writing contest in the Short Stories Forum.

The Lots Of Words Writing Contest [LOWWC]

In celebration of this momentous event, I have updated my mini-sig to reflect the new competition.


Feel free to use it if you wish as a plug for the comp.

And all the budding writers out there, have a go. Your SS Forum needs you.

Very nice!
I tried it on, but the moonlight flares out most of the text at the top.

There's a sizing issue, the pic seems to repeat at the bottom.

Very simple, just what I was after.

All it needs is glowing eyes. Blue, yellow, or red.

(maybe a version with all four.)

I will have to figure that out. The canvas was the correct size. I am wondering if an adjustment layer did that little line down there?

In any event, I will get you some versions with cool eye colors, et al, this evening.

You could try this image...darkened the moon shine.



Your white text color could work or you could use this color:

5b5a5a

Another version. You stated you wanted simple a couple posts above so it may not suit you...if not anyone else can use it.

Raised the wolf so it wouldn't be behind text, adjusted levels on moon to bring out more texture, darkened sky. Multi colored eyes and added feature at bottom to balance image.



Last one with fog:

I find 187x530 pixels is a good starting point. If the member has different tags, expert, archivist...etc....it may need to be a bit longer.

Those wolf eyes are effing awesome! That's some skills right there.

Hey thanks, the right eye is red to blue and the left green to blue.

reply to post by kinglizard


I snagged all of them.

I must admit, PREEEETY.

This definitely goes into my avatar rotation, and will probably use it for a while. (It's those eyes!)

I'll be switching them to which I like the best, but for now, I'm really liking this one.

Thank You so much!

Pleasure brother. If you like I can raise the wolf to clear the text...just let me know.

Just a tad? I like the overall balance and imagery.

I know I said simple, but this avatar simply says so much.

Do one more adjustment.

Give this one a shot:

I made four versions:

Plain



Blue



Red



and Yellow

EEK! Too high. The howling wolf has text on his back.

Just a tad lower, so the howler is clear of text.
