Well, that's all I know about it. It's an image I stumbled upon, called Orange Sticks, and I presume it's some sort of close-up photography that's been coloured up, or just an imaginative piece of colour art. I haven't the faintest idea what it is or what it means. I just thought it looked nice...

elronds_daughter · 01-01-2005, 06:02 PM

It does look nice. Congrats on finding it.

Elennar Starfire · 01-01-2005, 08:33 PM

Nice, though somewhat disturbing...

Gil-Galad · 01-01-2005, 10:23 PM

i feel like finding another trogdor - related avvie....

THE Ka · 01-02-2005, 12:02 AM

Like your avie Meela, very interesting. Reminds me of a spider...

I made a new avatar, again!... Well, i think i might keep this one for awhile, due to my obsession with bowie...

Esgallhugwen · 01-02-2005, 12:33 AM

Thank you all so very very much! Theres another one but maybe it won't be able to outdo this one since you all seem so very impressed. But I'll leave it till another time I want to keep this one for more than a week.

While browsing the user members list I've found a rather nice one willkill4food's, I think its supposed to be a rendition of Gandalf facing the Balrog.

THE Ka · 01-02-2005, 03:21 AM

warrenerd's is a classic...dancing baby, that's awsome...

~Amazed that the dancing baby still existed Ka~

Gil-Galad · 01-02-2005, 11:45 AM

well my new Peasant-burninating avvie is up....not sure how long it'll last...

elronds_daughter · 01-02-2005, 02:01 PM

Very interesting, Gil. I think I liked the old Trogdor one better.....

Anywhee, what do you all think of mine?

*smiles* I was tired of my old Eowyn-with-lightsaber ones. I had a ton of new ones that I went through on my own site, actually-- but I wanted to change mine here. So I paired Eowyn and Anakin. It worked. If I can find a neat enough one to edit, that's small enough, I think I may go back to lightsaber-style... if I can make an animation that's small enough in size. Sigh.

I'm glad to see a comment on mine. It looked better bigger, though. The BIG one-- not an avatar.

See? A lot clearer.

I still love Maeg's avatar, even though it's not that clear. *snickers* Near-sighted elves rule.

'Orange Sticks'

(Meela)

It rather looks like a picture of a heart. You know all those science programs that show a picture of a heart beating...that's what it reminds me of.

Orual · 01-03-2005, 05:56 PM

I agree with all of the positive comments about Meela's avatar--very intriguing!

I also like Imladris' new avatar. It's very cool. I'm not entirely sure what it is, but I like it.

THE Ka · 01-03-2005, 06:40 PM

Orual! Awsome! Your avatar looks very much like Robert Smith! Wonderful!

Orual · 01-03-2005, 09:15 PM

Robert Smith of the Cure? I can see the resemblance...it's Morpheus from Neil Gaiman's "Sandman" series, which I've just fallen in love with. I do like the Cure, however, though I'm not very familiar with their music.

Encaitare · 01-03-2005, 10:01 PM

Orual, you rule! I love the Sandman. Very cool avvie indeed.

Feanor of the Peredhil · 01-04-2005, 07:49 AM

e_d: It's a picture of jesters she drew! You rock, Fea; I love it.

Thanks e_d and Encai. But I can't take all of the credit... It was inspired completely by a poem Encaitare wrote. So she gets at least half a Feanorian Bonus Point.

Wait 'til you see my next avatar... I won't do it for awhile, since I like the jesters... but the next is sho-weet.

Fea

Neurion · 01-04-2005, 10:08 AM

OK, here's mine.......

Nimrodel_9 · 01-04-2005, 05:41 PM

Meela`s reminds me of a leaf.

I like yours Oddwen, but I likedyour old one even more.

Nimmy

elronds_daughter · 01-04-2005, 07:13 PM

I like THE Ka's new one... Not that she keeps one very long....

Neurion, what is yours? I can't tell.

Excellent! So does that mean you'll let me hold one of the Silmarils for a little bit? Pleeeease?

Gil-Galad · 01-05-2005, 08:21 AM

got a colour version of Trogdor now, not the greatest, i'm still looking...

i beleive thats and elf at Helm's Deep...

It's from a shot of the Helm's Deep battle, that was never included in the film sadly.

Alas, and alak. Helm's Deep has always been one of my favorite battles, and therefore I say, 'I like your avatar!'

You have my thanks lady.

THE Ka · 01-06-2005, 10:29 PM

lookie! New!
okay, yet a new avatar... I know but!... I've made a pledge to myself and you all:

"I swear that I will keep Amadeus for at least three months and I will not alter it in any way or form..."

I don't think i can do it... Let's hope. I don't want to offend such a legend and genius...

~ ka~

Lalwendë · 01-07-2005, 04:26 AM

ka - you've just brought to mind a film I've not seen in years yet I used to love it. So, I have to offer you lots of thanks for that because it's given me an idea of what to watch tonight!

Encaitare · 01-07-2005, 11:49 AM

I knew it was him! Wonderful avvie, ka; I know I shall enjoy looking at it... if you do manage to keep it up for three months.

Elennar Starfire · 01-07-2005, 09:10 PM

Nice, Ka. My choir class watched that...

And I love Falco!

That's just Fordim for you, I guess....

Meela · 01-09-2005, 02:41 PM

Evisse the Blue's avatar is very striking. It's a snowflake I think, or so it looks. Very pretty, anyway!

Bêthberry · 01-09-2005, 03:34 PM

THE Ka's new avatar seems delightfully Ka-ish. Wolfie! Perfect.

HerenIstarion · 01-09-2005, 04:27 PM

Ohtatyaro. It looks quite mystic and beatiful to my eye

That's no dog. He's my very own warg.

(But don't tell SaucepanMan -- he'd be SOOO disappointed. . .)

elronds_daughter · 01-09-2005, 05:38 PM

Meela's is cool.

Not at all, old chap. It looks more like a Warg to me than those Hyena-Lemming things in the films.

Esgallhugwen · 01-10-2005, 05:14 PM

Ta da! It's been a week now and as I promised I am showing you my last one, not sure if I'll change it back though.

I like Captain of Despair 's, Nazgul, mwahahahaaha
