How in the heck do I go about "making" an avatar? I only found a couple offered here on the PoE forum generation, so not much to choose from.

*laughs* I guess I'm going to have to keep waiting for the timer.

Well others do it, I mean how hard it is to draw a skull darken here and there, put some shadows, if others including me can do it so can you.

Edit: i just did one just for fun, of course it is not part of the contest :D I won't be giving the beta key I have to myself lol

Who would of thought? Take a skull, an alien, an assortment of human faces, a hooded cloak; utilize layers, texture and healing brushes, add light modifiers and the result is my second future creature of PoE, The MadNecro!

My eye in partial grey-scale with the red exaggerated. This is the look of a desperate man hoping to get into the beta.

Gonna give this a whirl when i get home, ill edit post with my image once its done. Hope to make a nerco/mage looking character!

Good luck to all!

Edit:



This is my take on a necro/caster. Havent worked with Photoshop is a few years and 80x80 is not easy to work with. I tried getting a skull in there for his face but it was less then ideal.

Let me know what you think!

Well lets try. My first entry:

Right, so I thought I'd take a different approach, and tried to do some pixel-art remakes of screenshots.
