Holiday Avatars, formerly Halloween

[Alyxx Thorne]

You guys have only seen my avatar in two posts so far in the introduction thread, but I suppose I'll pull up my current Steam pic of my old avatar with a poorly drawn Santa hat on it. I wish I were as good with bitmaps as I were with vectors.

 

As for this discussion on boobs, I vote "aye."

I love your avvy. I'm a big fan of Calvin & Hobbes.

The idea of a fluffy, immature, playful creature trying to show his inner intelligence and sophistication by putting on a sport-coat which just makes him look sillier really speaks to me for some reason. I think I can relate. Also, I love it when people tell me they read my posts in Hobbes voice. Even they do a double take.

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, I think it's pretty cool.

[Blightmare]

woohoo, hobbes! Best character from the best comic ever to grace the newspapers.

[Srake]

Wow, look what I found!

It's all about the Claus hats.

[danielsangeo]

Perhaps, but it depends on who or what's wearing them.

Especially when your animated character is wearing a live-action hat...

I was tempted to give him his horns with santa hat puffballs.

Well I've had a crack at this as well having noticed this thread (it may be necro'd, but it's also relevant so lets just post on topic!). It seems my avatar's hat may be the same source as the one you used for Jek Jek Roo's avatar in your post, Mr. ShinyObject. It was the best positioned hat I could find myself, but I have no idea if it's freely available in the public domain or not (I found it on some media.tumblr site). :S

 

I'm hardly good at image editing, but I tried to darken my hat so it matched the light levels of my original avatar, and I tweaked the colour levels very slightly. I also stretched the hat a little so it would fit.

[Mr. ShinyObject]

It was 4 in the morning, I was bored, and by the time I noticed that the hat was too saturated I had already flattened the image and adjusting curves made his face disappear.

[Srake]

I just drew a new picture. Better than last year's, I suppose.

[Collective Foal]

Google is a fun little tool...

That's what I did with mine. In the comics Hobbes only wears a scarf, rarely the hat.

 

Though google did get me this, and I'm tempted:

This is stupid, but I actually lke it. Thanks!

Stupid but likeable describes about half the stuff I do and two-thirds of the people I know.

Sounds interessting. Here is the original image. Is that gonna be one big santa hat^^, or something completely different?
