Hey, I'll make avatars for you, you just tell me what you want, and I'll try to make it for you! Anyone who wants one, just tell me what you want, don't be shy, tell me! I'm a very generous person. Wink

Indeed. Besides, there's already a similar thread on the M2K2 / MHQ forum. If you want to offer avatars, you can do it there. It'll be easier to keep track of.

Could I get my avatar in like a Phazon Suit with a Phazon Beam included? You know, like have it edited of some sort? I would really appreciate it.

If you're referring to Phazonizing Samus pics, its quite simple really. Use an image editor, such as Photoshop, though my personal preference is Paintshop Pro, and grayscale the pic. Keep an original version of the picture on hand. Use a brightness/contrast adjustment to darken her suit so that it looks more like a reflective black than a grayed varia/gravity. You probably have to lasso different portions of her suit for this part because if you just adjust it for the whole pic, it'll look wrong because her shoulders will be lighter in color than her torso. If there is a background in the original pic you want to maintain when she's Phazonized, then lasso just Samus and then grayscale/darken that selection.

Then just overlay your corrected Samus on the original image. Then you can lasso her visor and the green lights on her suit and colorize them to red-orange. Voila!

The trick with your avy was the phazon arm cannon. For that, I found a pic of it online and did a lot of alteration/image optimization so that it looked right with the rest of the image. I had to resize it and erase any outline and then rotate and overlay it. (the phazon arm cannon was actually on a white background which made it kind of a pain in the ass).
