- according to here(at the bottom) you don't need any posts for a custom avatar, but that is subject to change.
- filetype needs to be a JPG or GIF

Is there a difference?

I don't know about dork per se, but I am a geek in the worst way. Any geek avatars out there? I want one that reflects my inner being, as I am also a 6'4" 245 Lb bodyguard/concert bouncer.

ok, so it was supposed to be 20KB (20000 bytes), I'll fix that.
So, that's what, 8 times as big?

If anyone else is looking for avatar designs, PM me and I'll see what I can do. I have referrences. :p

Notice: If you want it done fast, you'd be better off looking elsewhere.

BTW - this is not to compete with Rellik and MacGyver. I just like to design them and love a challenge. ;)

Nah, I don't see it as competition. besides, I don't handle GIF animation very well, because I don't have the right tools.

To me, it's just an excuse to increase my Photoshop skills

What general style are you going for? Something musical or do you want a change of pace?

Please list colours, themes, the basic "feel" you might be interested in displaying.

I'm fairly proud of Deseqer's and Daemon's avatars, as I think I managed to capture a good deal of what they wanted to project as an avatar.
