I was wondering if members have ever posted full sized pictures of their avatars? I was even thinking of people showing what particular parts they used in their creations. I have been needing to recreate some and it can be quite challenging from the little pictures we all see. If I could find mine I would show you mine  ( :P sounds very odd) and even for picture stories it would come in handy.

Hey, that's a good idea to start a thread for this.... I've been wanting to work on a project involving other members' avatars, and it would be great to have tips on how to make each one. I'll post a close-up of mine tomorrow if I get a chance.

You know this got me thinking of a neat program. How about you would be able to you put in your selections and then you would see the results.

Build you klicky, virtually  :eh?:

arm greaves from 4809 - Soldier (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4809)
arms, shield, sword, helmet and horns from 4811 - Chief (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4811)
torso from 4812 - Wolf Knight with Catapult (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showinv.pl?setnum=4812)

and any dark grey belt will do!

Hey Ras! I posted a full picture of my avatar on my introduction post:
http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/index.php?topic=5427.0
Unfortunately, it won't be easy for another member to make it, you would need my decals/transfers for the torso, shield and flag...
Otherwise, the parts are easy to come by: the legs are from the Arab warrior of course, and the helmet from the new Drachenland Knights.
I do like this project, though, I think someone has already started a gallery of avatars somewhere. Wasn't it here on PF?  :hmm:
Best,
Arnaud

I don't remember a gallery of them. Maybe it was another forum.

Mine is really simple. Here's a close-up picture.

She's the woman from this set: http://playmodb.org/setpics/4854.jpg except her hair has been changed out for brown hair.

My current avatar is the klicky used for King Iseroth - its the king form set

http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3659.htm (http://collectobil.com/catalogue/items/3659.htm)

a small customisation is that my Avatar has blond hair and beard and also has red gloves on , such gloves can be found in

http://playmodb.org/setpics/4670.jpg (http://playmodb.org/setpics/4670.jpg)

I think these gloves make a nice royal addition to this klicky , now since i didnt knwo they existed till today i want these shoes for this avatar of mine found in this set

What a great idea! I would love to have everyone's avatar. That could make for some pretty interesting photo projects  :giggle:

 http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=k4984 (http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=k4984)

My avatar is the 4984 Birthday Princess special, except she has since gotten Proactive and cleared up some of that acne (I swapped her face for one with rosy cheeks and lower eyelashes) and I swapped her red cuffs for a pair of gold ones.

Yes the avatar gallery is here, it was done by LittleJo who hasn't been active for a while now.

http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/album/thumbnails.php?album=30 (http://www.playmofriends.com/forum/album/thumbnails.php?album=30)

This is mine...

The torso (without belt) is from the servant in set "Royal Banquet" 3021
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-7780

Legs with boots are from the pirate captain found in sets 3061, 3863, 3913, 5779 and 9989.
http://playmodb.org/cgi-bin/showpart.pl?partnum=30-00-6440

The yellow "musketeer-hat" is from the pirate with green torso in set Pirates Ship 3750-v2.
(no info on it on playmo.db)

My avatar is based on the character with the same name in the comic-book "Secret of the Unicorn" from the Tintin-series by Belgian author Hergé.

This is great. Some members avatars are quite complicated and hard to re-create from the small pictures

this is such a great idea, Ras - I was wishing a thread like this existed before my birthday to recreate as many avatars as possible and invite them to my avie's party and take a picture of that...

mine comes from the following sets

yeah ...why do you change it so many times? the porpousse of an avatar is to be recognised at first glance with the image. We have to go check who is the new one everytime you change.  ::)
Other, like Luis, change the scenary but the avatar clicky is always the same.  :)

I like to keep the same avatar and change her scenery, (although the avatar herself recently got a makeover) I just don't do it all that often.

@Alex, you should go back to piano guy! I think that's how we all think of you.

Wise Choice Alex, this avatar is ' you' i,e your 'trademark' so its best you keep this  ;)

My original avatar is from the carriage victorian set but with the victorian policeman helmet. As i really love and read a lot of history , this klicky is ' based ' on the following historic figure

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_I,_German_Emperor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_I,_German_Emperor)


It is infact the very first ' official custom ' i have created many many years ago and this klicky accompanied me in the UK when i was 17 to study ( in my jacket's pocket in that first flight.... )  and has been with me  non stop since then , therefore i decided to make him my avatar , he has been my lucky charm at university  and i suppose it makes sense to use him as my avatar ....
Title: Re: Your Avatar
Post by: bonniebeth on June 29, 2011, 13:48:26
yes, he should definitely be your avatar, then! I think for most of us, the klicky we take everywhere with us and wouldn't leave town without is our avatar. ;D

I didn't say playmo.db isn't helpfull! It indeed is a great source and Heather's work is superb!
When searching for "3750" - the ship's European setnumber - on playmodb, I didn't see pics of this crew, only from the crew of the 1st 3750-version. I forgot to check the US-setnumber "3053", where pics of this crew are apparently embedded.

I've changed my avatar to a klicky that resembles me a bit better than the old tramp with white beard and trumpet  :lol: I'll try to use this one from now on.
I made it when I was quite young (early 90's). It's actually the girl in the white dress from the 5311 children's bedroom. I remember I cut off her blue bow with scissors and replaced it with the red locket of the indian child (3396). I took a blue cap from the kid with the mountainbike in 3712. And the legs... I can't really remember  :) There are a lot of those around, I think.

You guys are really creative with your avatars, I love them all! I must say I like the avatar with the orange dinosaur best of all. It has a witty look in its eyes  ;D

I also used the fedora from the 4299 wedding photographer and kept the classic brown zig-zag hair. By the way, I think it's pretty cool that PlaymoFriends members get to have their avatars featured in things.  :yup:

My avatar is simple, Black T-shirt (short sleeves), black legs and brown hair. The skull on the shirt is a sticker and it makes it resemble a T-shirt I actually own, which is Metal Steve shirts from the webcomic Diesel Sweeties.

The Polar Bear is optional but they are so AWESOME I will always have one somewhere in my avatar :-)
