Have you ever seen anything so adorable? It’s Mania with her crocoslime!
I just love the expression on the slime’s … face. And Mania winking — it’s just perfect.
And how did I get such an amazing, adorable avatar? Pike made it for me!
A week or so ago, Pike from Aspect of the Hare announced that she is now taking commissions for custom avatar art.
Basically, you send her some screenshots of you (with or without a pet) and some notes on what you want in terms of expression and background, and she creates a very special 100×100 pixel avatar for you in her own illimitable style. The price? A measly $10.
Now I know not everyone has $10 to spend on a custom WoW avatar, but I did … and so I did. And I am very happy that I did.
I’ve plugged it into Gravatar and everything, so it should start showing up as my avatar when I comment on blogs and our forum here soon.
I’m planning on getting a couple more, too, so that I can rotate avatars whenever I feel like it. Or maybe I’ll get one for each major character I play so I can use them in the post when I’m talking about a specific character.
I wish my husband played WoW — I’d love to get him one of these as a gift! But it would be sort of silly when he doesn’t play.
(Although my father once bought my mother a table saw for Mother’s Day. And I suppose that might have been fine if he’d let her use it …)
Anyway, if you are interested in getting your own custom Pike avatar, check out Pike’s Art Commissions page!
Ankhychan, everyone’s a supermodel CIA agent when they’re anonymous. :/
I’m sorry to see that you feel like trying to make other people feel bad about themselves is the best way you can think of to spend your time. I hope you pass through that phase quickly and without hurting too many people in the process.
Whoa…looks like we have a case of nerdrage right here. I’m just making a point. Do and say as you will, I’m not here to dictate good sirs.
And Chris, I didn’t try. Pike did that all on her/his own.
