Lets see some of yours then? WSB obviously has tallent. I could never do anything close to what he has done with those avatars.[/quote]

Have you ever purchased medicine? Perhaps from Pfizer? If so there's a 70% chance you've purchased a package that I designed.

I have a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, one of the most respected art & design schools in the world. I'm sure Whip Smart has heard of it.

I'd be happy to make you all avatars... but my work doesn't come cheap. Feel free to leave a message if you'd like to hire me for freelance. We can discuss my pricing.[/quote]

Again I will ask, lets see some of it.[/quote]

Big Nick, you didn't see his masterpiece Pfizer label I posted at the top of this page?

EDIT: Of course 2 posts come in while I'm typing.
 
[quote name='KrazyKefka'][quote name='Whambamm']KrazyKefka: your 2 posts sum up my thoughts rather well...but I gotta know what the shaq-fu is up with your avatar? Is it a picture of a Santa Clause wearing a psychotic bunny mask? Whatever it is, it's awesome.[/quote]

I have no idea what it is. Some weird photoshop picture I ran across on the web. Thought it was crazy, so why not make it my avatar? There's a bigger picture of it in my personal gallery if you wanna check it out.[/quote]

jesus christ....i never went into your gallery and clicked on the pic to make it bigger...that is scary

Mwahahahahahahaha!!! :twisted:
 
[quote name='trustcompany1013']whoever wants me to create them an avatar...please paypal me $50[/quote]

I'll pay for one for all 14,000+ members here. Do the work first then I will mail you a check.
 
Just saw you avatar trustcompany, and I must say, "Pretty damn impressive". And is that "suck it" on the t-shirt? Even better

It's so impressive, I had to quote myself saying it
 
[quote name='BigNick']Again I will ask, lets see some of it.[/quote]

And again I tell you, it's all over America.

I am a professional artist. What kiddies say about me on an online videogame message board doesn't bother me. I make a good living doing what I do, and enjoy my job. One of my hobbies when I'm not working is playing Xbox, hence why I come to this website. Why pay $50 for a game if I can get it for cheaper?

I have no problem with anyone posting here, I just found it funny that someone has such an elitest attitude with a mediocre talent scale.

My original offer still stands. Post a photo of yourself and then make me an offer. If I accept it I will create an avatar for you. If I determine your intentions are honest I will contact you with my reference list and online portfolio so you can assess my skill level.

Otherwise keep typing your mindless drivel. It amuses me.

First or all you are the one saying you are some super artist, so whats the big deal about you showing us your online protfolio? Why the hell would I pay you for an avatar when I already have an awesome one?

see thats the problem, he has no such attitude, he simply said he didnt have the time to do one for everybody, which is more than understandable!

you were the one being elitest claiming any art school drop out could do it in 15 mins.

no one cares what your job is, stop being a dick
 
guys, guys...calm down...my paypal account is going crazy...i will get to all of you...i promise...one at a time though, please...

due to the high demand for my self-made avatars...the first 20 buyers will be able to purchase one for the low, low, price of $45...after that, sorry, the price has to go back up to $50...pms accepted!!!
 
[quote name='Moxio']Jesus Christ I've been seeing these avatars everywhere.

Where's your originality, people? =P[/quote]

I have a stick in my face in my avatar!
 
im also curious to see some of your work, not to make fun of it, i go to an art school and have many friends in graphic design, and would like to see the type of stuff youve done. if you dont want to post it, pm me a link please
 
As a graphic artist myself, I would be interested in seeing anyone's online portfolio. Always cool to see what other people have done. I don't have any of mine online. I need to do that someday...

Every damn time I see this avatar, I can't help but laugh my ass off. That is the meanest damn bunny I've seen in my entire life!
 
I dont think he designed the Pfizer logo, that things been around forever.

I'm curious what work he's done too, I also work in pharma advertising (mostly web) and no I'm not bragging, it's just a job.
 
[quote name='Missingdata']punqux... what does fonz mean?.....

as u might know I m not "GOOD" with english...

WSB... can u help me?[/quote]

If u send me your layed psd I can do it for ya, it's really easy.
Just hide the white layer behind your character (as long as it's a seperate layer), save for web, select gif, and enable transparency.
 
i just have one question i actually could help you make some if you want being a art student myself, but the only thing i don't know how to do is to make things change, for instance Big nicks turns into a potato how do you do that PM me if you know thx!

Thank robot... I will give taht a try
 
BigNick, I love the new avatar. Fits ya man.

I love how some people come to the boards all high and mighty like their shit don't stink, looking down on high at us common folk. Yeah, I'm talking about you ft. So glad that we have another prick on the boards to talk down to us like trash. You're on these boards for the same reason we are. Guess what? You're no better than anyone one else, so grow up or get out!

WSB may come across as a snot sometimes but he's still cool and what he did was a FAVOR. Something friendly, he didn't want money like you do. Since you work as a big shot artist and what not, why charge? Because you think you are better than us, right? Just get over yourself....
 
Banky did mine out of the kindness of his heart (and boredom, dont forget the boredom) and i thank him for it. He did a couple, then MANY people started PM'ing him, and some were even getting pissy if he said no. Its understanable to have a thread like this when people start getting attitudes.
 
Do you work for a company located between 52nd street and 53rd Street on Broadway?

Dude I'm sure you had no intention of making anyone an avatar, or you wouldn't have tried to come off like a jerk right off the bat. No one from here is gonna pay you a dime after that. I don't think anyone asked for your credentials either, just to see some justification for you taking a shot at someone else's art for no reason....

You should probably do everyone a favor.....come to the board, check out the deals, but don't post if you're gonna be insulting. You're so proud of your degree and the work you've done but guess what....on CAG, no one cares, and most likely in your real life no one cares either.

And again I tell you, it's all over America.

If it were, I would think you wouldn't have a problem giving a "for instance", or at least point everyone to some of your work online... it would at least bolster your credibility a little.

I am a professional artist. What kiddies say about me on an online videogame message board doesn't bother me.

Then why even bother to post that? Since you took the effort to post that, it obviously did bother you... and thanks to your loathing of the idea that you must "put up or shut up", your credibility is looking rather strained.


I make a good living doing what I do, and enjoy my job. \

Good for you. We care about this why?

One of my hobbies when I'm not working is playing Xbox, hence why I come to this website. Why pay $50 for a game if I can get it for cheaper?

Yet you see fit to troll and spark off a flame war, and then when asked to prove the "expert" standing you claim, you throw a hissy-fit. Yeah, you're looking real credible right now.

I have no problem with anyone posting here, I just found it funny that someone has such an elitest attitude with a mediocre talent scale.

Why do I have a mental picture of this guy being some scrawny little hipster that always wears black, wears one of those stupid looking berets and carries a monocle around because he thinks it makes him look classy?

My original offer still stands. Post a photo of yourself and then make me an offer. If I accept it I will create an avatar for you. If I determine your intentions are honest I will contact you with my reference list and online portfolio so you can assess my skill level.

Let's see how chipper you are when 100+ people PM about this and then get an attitude when you say that you can't do it right away.


Otherwise keep typing your mindless drivel. It amuses me.

Yep, everyone is a moron except you. That's not elitist thinking in the least!
 
I'm part of the problem too, but I think I'm sticking with the strong bad image.

But I will say that Banky art is kick ass! WSB, get down with your bad self!
 
[quote name='ft']I make a good living doing what I do, and enjoy my job. [/quote]

thats important, but as an artist, which you claim to be, why would you tear down someone elses art style? criticism is helpful, however all you did was hurl insults. is it because youre SO sucessful that you can? people often ask me for help on projects, because im VERY over critical of peoples art, and if i can help them, i try to. but i never insult them or their art. ive never said "0m6 t3h dr0p 0V7 c0V1d d0 17!!111!"

you really need to take a look at yourself as an artist and a person and realize what a jerk youve been, and take matters to correct that.
 
I think I deserve an avatar because I got a whole thread devoted to making fun of me for no reason. I'm sure Banky would have a ball drawing that sucker.

Ok. So now that I've read through this thread and found each and every FT post to be good ol'fashioned trolling, I have only one question.

So you basically sit in front of a MAC and use Quark Express to create the warning labels on the back of douche bottle packaging? How fitting. :roll:

Boy am I impressed with you! :speaktothehand:
 
They obviously don't have an office linebacker where ft works.
He would say, "You troll on message boards, and I troll on you!"

Maybe we should call this kind of analytical process some kind of name. Ooh, I got it!!! Everytime JSweeney does this and I see it, I'm gonna post, "JSweeney'd!!!"


JSweeney'd!!!
 
Hell, I'll do avatars for free. PM me, that way I will have something to do at work instead of playing Literatti.
I have a Computer Graphics degree and I love to draw. I'm not the best, but I couldn't care less.
