GPX | 1,435 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, after 15 months of pandemic, a heavy work toll and 2 family deaths during the interim, I’ve decided to rekindle my passion for art and drawing. Then I thought “what better way to do this by drawing up a new avatar!” The background: I have a modest talent of copying art, having dabbled in some creative work but mainly copying stuff. The Baby Kong picture in my current avatar was copied from a gaming magazine some 18 years ago, and the last I drew anything was just over 10 years ago. Lately, I’ve had an inclination to draw something again. Maybe the influence of @CasualCart? Or maybe it’s just one of those natural inclinations. Anyway, what do you guys suggest for my next avatar that’s a good fit for the nickname? I’m hoping I do more than just 1 drawing and can share some art work on this thread whenever applicable in the future.

Gloves | 12,453 Administrator · Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 When I lack inspiration, but wanna draw, I pick 5 random pages from a video game wiki and see if anything pops out at me. My current avatar is a drawing I did of an Orange Dye from Runescape. As you can see I took some creative liberty, which was easy as the Dye itself is a rather plain item. 4 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8033-suggestions-for-my-new-avatar-my-journey-to-rekindle-the-art-passion/#findComment-200748 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPX | 1,435 Posted June 13, 2021 Author Share Posted June 13, 2021 How about...poop in a bottle!? (I only have a pen and a permanent marker; need to go out and buy some drawing utensils) 1 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8033-suggestions-for-my-new-avatar-my-journey-to-rekindle-the-art-passion/#findComment-200841 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkTone | 1,038 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 CasualCart has that effect. Favourite game? Maybe something from that. 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8033-suggestions-for-my-new-avatar-my-journey-to-rekindle-the-art-passion/#findComment-200848 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - I really need to give myself more dimension outside of being "the guy that draws stuff on VGS" haha. Anyway, I agree with @DarkTone - a character from your favorite game would be cool. Especially if you customize it somehow to be more "you" if that makes any sense. -CasualCart 1 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8033-suggestions-for-my-new-avatar-my-journey-to-rekindle-the-art-passion/#findComment-201081 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your responses are measured and thoughtful and when you start a new topic, I pay attention. 2 1 Link to comment https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/8033-suggestions-for-my-new-avatar-my-journey-to-rekindle-the-art-passion/#findComment-201119 Share on other sites More sharing options...
