CONTEST - Make me an Avatar!

[Finless]

OK while I can build helis, make instructional vids, etc I am just not that creative so I would like to have a contest for people to make my Avatar for me here at Helifreak.

The winner will be chosen by ME since it will be my Avatar. I also reserve the right to accept NONE as the winner so please understand this. I have to LIKE what you come up with and if I do... I will use it. The limitation is only the 8K file size as run here on Helifreak.

So what do you win?

You win a Trex XL HDE (with 420L motor and 25A ESC) built by me! It will be a built kit with no Electronics (sorry I ain't that rich). BUT if you want to send me the electronics and ANY upgrades you want on the heli I will build the kit with your supplied equipment. It will be test flown and guaranteed to be the best I can build it for you based on supplied equipment. If no equipment is supplied you will get a built kit but of course it will not be set up.

The contest is OPEN until
1) Someone wins as I like the Avatar. If I make that choice others will have 30 days to come up with something better.
2) December 1st 2006 arrives.

The Rules? Well not many really as listed above i have to LIKE the avatar!
You can make as many entries as you like! FLOOD ME with possibilities!

Oh and YES I will ship ANYWHERE in the world my cost!

So... now that that the rules are out....

HAVE AT IT!

May the best person win!

Great Idea, Bob!

[Rogan]

Nice prize. :D

Considered asking for a signature? Some kind of low key banner to send people to your tech room.

Your current avatar is pretty good, it's a damn sight better than that petrified dog. :lol:


...think I'll use my "normal" avatar now actually. Aaaah, that's better. :D

[p llim]

[Raven_darkcloud]

OK I'll take a stab at that. I always need prodjects.
Is this the hde from your vids?

[lennydude]

OK while I can build helis, make instructional vids, etc I am just not that creative so I would like to have a contest for people to make my Avitar for me here at Helifreak.

The winner will be chosen by ME since it will be my Avitar. I also reserve the right to accept NONE as the winner so please understand this. I have to LIKE what you come up with and if I do... I will use it. The limition is only the 8K file size as run here on Helifreak.

[team flipper]

Bob, do you have a favorite heli? I've got some cool ideas and I'd like to stick in a machine you like. Thanks!

[Finless]

Wow thats a tuff question!

Nitro I would have to say my Vibe 90.
Electric I would have to say the Lepton EX but I fly my Trex the most of all my helis right now as it is so darn cheap and fun!

[spork]

How long do we have to impress you with our "special needs" art skills and warped imaginations? Can we enter more than once? Do we have to be present to win? Is offer void where prohibited by law? Are employees of Finless Corporation of America (a multi-acquisitional conglomerate) eligible???

[Finless]

My rules are simple! No CATCH 22's
I have to LIKE the avitar and choose it.
You can enter as many as you like!

Not bad Spork but not my thing.... Why does everyone choose some kind of FISH! I now my handle is finless and all but lets get off the FISH thing... Be more creative and think outside the "fin" box!

BTW, attached is a picture that PetruSoroaga2 sent me as an entry.... I kind of like it as a first start! He did a really good job at thinking outside the FIN box. While I want more creativity this is a DARN good start!

Bob

[theLane]

I like the color yellow.. that's the nicest one so when you order it for me make sure you pick the yellow one.

[spork]

BTW, attached is a picture that PetruSoroaga2 sent me as an entry.

I like the fact that he also went the "propeller head" route. But I can't tell what he's holding. Can you tell us?

RC

[Finless]

I have no idea as he never responded back to my PM..... I havent heard from him since he sent that to me.

Bob

[DebianDog]

Here we go. Stick a hat on the Finless Porpoise

Bob

[PetruSoroaga2]

Hi!
It was supposed to be a blade. Sorry, the image was scaled down to a jpeg.
I'll try to come up with something else when I have some time (it takes time to do something acceptable :roll:
Have fun,
Petru

[AlanMcSwain]

Obvious.

[Piranha]

Ok, Bob :)
Here is my entry!
First of all I've made a logo for you
here it is:

And finally here is the avatar
It was hard to make an animation only within 8kb but here it is:http://b0.imgsrc.ru/p/piranha/408499bPw.gif
hope it's not so bad :wink:

and the same thing on white background: http://b0.imgsrc.ru/p/piranha/408668fFT.gif

[Finless]

Cool...... Best one yet and I kinda like it. Question what is that an image of in the first animation frame? I cant make out what it is?

Bob

[theLane]

I think it's Zeus.... Egypt thought that Zeus was like the Egyptian god of the air.

[Finless]

Hmmm I still cant make that out.......

[kgfly]

I think that's God from the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, you know, where his finger is giving life to Adam.

In this case he is bring the TRex to life a la Finless.
