I will take the angry version.
Thanks.

This one seems to be tough to redesign (because Luffy is a rubber man I guess)

I didn't mean to step on anyone's toes... I just picked one from the most recently-posted list and didn't realize it was already made. It was an honest mistake and I really hope it doesn't detract you from making more.

Trust me, I would much rather spend my time working on something nobody has done yet, especially since these things take me hours to do.

I believe you, just mad snitch ditched mine after I did spend hours making it.

I'll make more, but if this happens again, I'm really done. I can spend time doing other things.

Anyway, I'm working on Gamer @ Heart's request Shinobi's Hotsuma Preferably holding a glowing sword.

Claiming Street Fighter 3 Sean :D

Oh, and great work everyone! I've been tracking this thread for a while, and all the avatars are freaking awesome.

Honestly, I think the way to do it to is to just be selfish and make things for yourself. It's important to realize that these avatars are pretty much disposable. Most people are going to use them until the next thing comes along and then they'll switch, and it's okay for them to switch. I know how it feels when you feel like you're forced to use something just because someone else made it, and I'd never want anyone to think like they have to use an avatar I made because it was made for them. At the end of the day I'm happy just being able to admire my own art.
 
I know mine is a boring one, Mikael Akerfeldt, but I can tell the artist that once mine is done I am going to use it for the rest of the time I post here; if that makes any difference to the artist.

I was reading the first couple of pages, and am thinking paypal might be good if people want to donate to the artists who aren't getting paid. But I am also doing this for fun.:lol Just throwing it out there.

Contributors getting paid = grief, sorrow and harsh competition entering this thread.

Your efforts are appreciated and people should not claim more than one. Ban worthy :P

I think Blizzard came up with this idea. I thought it might help by giving a donation to people like you versipellis and divvy to compliment hard work.
 
Dizzle24 said:
Dude, I already claimed him early last week. :lol :lol :lol
No you didn't.

You said you were going to use him until YOUR request was filled.

This is why temporary claims are stupid. Either stick with it or give it up.

P.S. I'm never giving up this Ludwig. ROCK IT, SON.
Unless Divvy demands it. >_>
 
Can someone confirm that this is within NeoGAF regulations? If it is, then I will put it in my avatar post haste!

Special thanks to Max for helping me out! It looks awesome! Fuck it, it looks fantastic. I may never go back to the old one!

Yeah, although it wasnt my original request I don't think this little Samus will ever leave my side.

Yes, that should be perfect (it's 90 wide), and it looks so cute!

*edit part 1*
Yes, I thought small donations might be nice for the artists, not necessarily as a requirement, but there is a danger of competition and feelings getting hurt. And I guess it's a good reason for people to do requests or avatars in whatever order they feel like, since the people who requested may just ditch them. Some people won't, but there are probably always some who do.

I have fun making them, so I suppose you're right.

Seems like it to me
 
Skiptastic said:
Great!

Thanks again, Max!

I didn't check the size (looked at the kb not dimensions. It looks to be too short. You just need an invisible background.)

90x120 I dont have a program on my computer to use to do it for you. Would if I could

Currently it's 90x69 Being the junior I am I don't know if you need the 120 hight. So I'm just going to assume you do.
Nice avatar btw.

Edit: Just checked. Looks like since you have the 90 width you're in good shape.

I'm seeing this more often. Mainly from juniors but users need to research or at least ask around before taking an av.
 
Really, a list of created, claimed, and in-use avatars would be beneficial all-around and prevent most of the grief here (impatience and backlog notwithstanding) but it would be a pretty daunting effort to put together and keep up-to-date.

Jrricky posts it every page dude (least he tries) it doesnt seem to be always up to date though.

It's daunting because people started going out of turn, and creating "sets" that others randomly picked apart.

I appreciate any and all effort from the artists, but the fact that stuff started getting done out of turn really started a cascade of issues.

No one "has" to do this, and I'm glad they are getting props for doing so. I'll patiently sit and wait for mine to show up. I'd do it myself if I had the talent to do so.
 
ICallItFutile said:
I try not to do the ones at the top because I either feel I'm not skilled enough to do them justice or I figure someone is already working on them.

Maybe if the people working on them posted what they were working on it might help a bit.

Your avatar is intoxicating, hypnotizing, and frightening all at once.

I think the vast majority of people understand that the artists ARE doing it for fun. It's the vocal minority, as always, that upsets things.

It would suck to have to wait weeks if you were one of the first to request something, but hey. I didn't mind the wait. I still got to see all the awesome stuff before mine. Besides, it's "just" a picture!

It was the only way I could manage to get that into the size limit without cutting frames, and in the end I actually liked how creepy it looks...I still want my scribble Zonk though ;)

Sorry about that D: I never thought about the ramifications of my actions, and I do appreciate all of the work you put into it!

what was the other avatar? same character? otherwise it could just be released back into the unclaimed wild. like those metroid ones

Well if you want to get technical, I actually said that I was CLAIMING him until my original request was filled. So, technically it is claimed, by me. I will surrender him though, if my request is filled. :P

I even posted 2x just so the thread could reflect my choice.
 
LiquidMetal14 said:

I claimed and made use of the avatar 20 seconds later, then posted in bold 2 separate times to make sure everyone saw, and that the "updated unclaimed list" was reflecting.

or someone decides to claim it permanently. either because they give up their request or they did not make the list.

that claim would trump your temporary claim and you should let it go.
 
Great stuff guys, I am surprised that no has done Sonic the Hedgehog. Hope to to see more SEGA characters. I am collecting these things soo cool.

Wasn't someone doing an archive? Again GREAT job guys!

So basically I lose either way.

I can give up my original request, keep this one, have my actual request filled and taken by someone else who just walked into the thread. Or give this one up, not have my original request filled and not have any avatar at all.

Is that what you are saying? :lol
 
Somebody please do my request. :( I hate to beg but I've been checking this thread several times a day to see if someones done it. My heart can't take anymore. :(
 
I just discovered this thread thanks to the Junior Members thread. I had been wondering what all these avatars were for.

I wonder if my avatar would even work as a Scribblenauts avatar though. Is it even possible to make a Scribblenaut Kate Micucci with Wolf Hat? LOL Oh well. Guess we'll never find out.

That's not what he's saying. If you take Roger for keeps, your original request is wiped out and an artist doesn't needlessly spend hours on it. Nobody else gets it unless they request it once the list opens up for submissions again. If you don't make bunk temporary claims on unclaimed avatars, you just use a more generic avatar from the internet's hojillions of images for the time being. You don't need to go without.

If your original request is on the list, it will be filled. But it's selfish to take up two slots at once, one for hours of an artist time, and another occupying an avatar that could be used for keeps by another user.
 
VAIL said:

Yeah, I think that would work best. That will help artists avoid lots of trouble in the future. Also on the note of donations, I would also decline it. I'm doing this for fun as well, and I'm slowly improving my skills, so that's enough payment for me.

Also, this wasn't a request from the list, but I have had a Pokémon itch as of late. So I did a Scribble Garchomp.

Hi guys! im new to this forum, I have joined only because of Scribblenauts :lol

But im sure going to stay updated and keep on posting in all the threads :D

I do have to request an Avatar.
I waited years to find something to do with this character, I couldn't find anything to do it with, to be awesome for an avatar, but as i found this thread, this Scribblenauts style is what I want my chosen character to be done and have it as avatar !

So what is my chosen character? It is the Dark prince from Prince Of persia : The Two Thrones.

Some pictures of him:
