Some New Forum Avatars

Before you read on allow me to clarify since I couldn’t think of anything else for the forum title, these aren’t new avatars as in newly added to the forum. They’re new as in I just spent the last 20 minutes converting images to the format for the forum.

Now that’s out of the way, take a look at them.

Anyone think they would make a nice addition to the site? I haven’t seen any of those gorgeous CGI images of Hood, Arby, Regret etc added so I thought those would be a nice addition.

You may also recognize the more cartoony avatars from “The Lives” series, these avatars were drawn specifically for each video and usually just collect dust after that so I figured they might be some use here for a silly avatar.

If you want to download the images yourself and take a closer…ish look at them then feel free to right here. Tis a safe link going to my personal Dropbox, though you may need WinRAR or WinZip to open it.

I could see all of these being used, they fit the “theme” that avatars here have.
However, i feel that the middle 2 in the second row lack “context”.

Very good work! Could definitely see these being added!

Those are nice! I definitely like the Blur cinematic images.

That breaks it!
I need that lives of the grunts picture!

The Cryptum avatar is easily my favorite. Excuse me while I wish for an ability to use custom avatars…

;p

But nah seriously, I really think some of those are really good Spearhead. Some may not immediately get The Lives of… avatars, but all that means is that 343i has to advertise the -Yoink- out of your videos to make them have context.

Sorry to crash the happy train, but they are all supposed to go here.

OT: The Cryptum avatar looks great as does the one of the Arbitar, also nice of you to use the sketches from “The Lives of” series.

P.S. Still waiting for “The Lives of the Marines”.

Oh I didn’t put them there for that, I just thought people might like some silly drawings there. I can get more for all of them really.

I want the Halo 5 blue Spartan one.

Is there a problem with that? It’s not exactly an advertisement, he’s just made the sketches used in the series as avatars for other Waypointers because maybe… just maybe…

… he’s a nice person.P.S. I understand your comment could easily of been a joke but it can be interpreted either way so I’m replying to it.

It wasn’t intended to be a shameless plug. If I wanted to do that I would’ve just been blunt and posted a link to each video or something like that, just to let you know. :smiley:

The main reason I added them was because they’re Halo related images and some people do actually use them for avatars on different sites. I’m pretty sure The Little Moa used one as his Twitter profile picture for a while. Speaking of which…

These are beautiful (though the fist is kinda just… lacking).

But really, great shots, I could see each one working. Especially the ‘Lives’ Series photos… derpy Grunt must be mine.

I’m lovin’ 'em!

Yes, of course I was joking. After all…

… he’s a nice person.

I’d definitely go with the Didact avatar. :slight_smile:

I like em.

Except that fist pic. It seems kinda pointless.

Good looking pictures.
I would like to have Gravemind picture.
I don’t remember there being any checking
Yep, only two flood spartan.

Agreed, I tried to get another shot of something from the red team. Couldn’t think of anything. XD
