  • @kathy I love to put a bigger version (bigger than the main profile one I found) in the link, do you have a bigger version?
  • I'll see if i can get one @E-Star that's the one i uploaded from gravatar..
  • @E-Star I've uploaded it to my album can you enlarge it from there? Sorry i thought it automatically went there lol:) I hope that is o.k.
  • Got it @Kathy, thanks :D
  • Okay Sorry @estar

    I missed that. I will take a look again and submit a New nomination soon :-)
  • What's up with "little miss" Avatars? I've been gone all week.
  • @tas IKR??? @Kathys was the first one I saw and thought what a cute avy, but now it's gone rampant and rabid round the nest! I'm seeing basically the same avy as Kathys Everywhere?? Hard to tell them all apart as they all look pretty much exactly the same!! It's the little miss (whatever that is?) white avy gang as I refer to them! LOL Pretty confusing all in all as I'm never sure who I'm talking to!! :D
  • Same with you @Kimmiecv, I'm also confused Kathy with Grammyk and CCJolly :D
  • @fbb maybe we can just call em all @wag (white avy gang) so we can't mix them up! Hahahaahaa ;D
  • @fbb I think there are a few more "cookie cutter" avys even! I go to some walkthroughs and it's got a few wags in them now!! No such thing as original in the wag gang!! LOL :D
  • @Kathy @GrammyK -- Is the same person making all the white avatars? They look like they are made by the same person. Who is it?
  • Well, I like the "Little Miss" avatars. Google Roger Hargreaves to find their source (but who creates them here remains a mystery)
    All good fun though, this avatar competition.
  • @mvnla2 my guess was and is leggy, looks like her copy/paste style.
    @hunnybunny I'll have to check it out one of these days, thanks for the info.
  • Yes @mvnla2 they are characters ' little miss.' And 'little Mr' based on characters by a Roger Hargreaves:)
  • @firebombbird, @ccjolly is very green, and i am not, how could you be confused ? :-)
  • And i have pink hair:) lol.. I don't think they look alike to much aside from the style
    The little characters were quite popular:)
  • Interesting. I looked at some of the Hargreaves illustrations. Although the style may be the same, it appears that the art is actually original??? @leggy -- Is it you?
  • Not trying to be too pedantic, but the male ones were called "Mister Men"
    Just a British tradition...
    Edit: I think I meant "trying not to be too pedantic..." First attempt sounds all wrong!
  • @Surfcow, please read carefully the rules in page 1, you can't vote for anyone until December, so now just nominate for the one you like and wait for the voting, thank you
  • My dear sweet @surfcow I am feeling very honored you have found you way to our lovely contest, but it is not yet voting time!! The voting will start in december. Might want to check the page 1 and read our explanatory of the contest :D
    As to you message on the art, glad you feel obligated to buy the art. I also use stock photos/illustrations websites and buy images for my E* creations if I cannot make them myself. But for some images this is not always an opportunity (Rovio doesn't sell their images :/) Also I must be honest, if the avy is used for a short period of time (like the kilted men for the birthday party from Kimmie), I don't take the time to look for licences and sneak on in. But in general I agree when you can buy them you should.
  • @surfcow -- For the record I made a charitable donation, significantly more than $10, in return for permission to use my San Juan Firecrown, which explains in part why I am so fond of him. Did find out that the photo is of a male Firecrown, darn.
  • Is my avatar illegal?
  • @theanonymoussomeone -- I think what E-star was saying is that Rovio doesn't license use of their art, but as long as you aren't using it for your profit, I think they like it.
  • @theanonymoussomeone @mvnla is right, I meant Rovio don't even give us that option even if we wanted to pay for the use of their pictures and also right on the other part. As long as you are not making money from their invention, they will be fine. Also even though I like to pay for the stuff I use in my avatars, I also think they are a form of advertising for the maker and are that small, I don't think any less of people using all kinds of images. But I prefer when I can I like to donate. And cheers again to you mvnla2 you mentioned the donation before and I remember loving the idea, especially because the Fircrown has become you in the Nest :D
  • Oops, my bad. I assumed because there were numbers in parentheses under some avatars.... Nevermind. Duh, like I said, I am brain dead and not capable of reading instructions, so I apologize. Aloha.
  • No worries @surfcow!! Just glad you found our contest so when the time comes you will find your way back!! We hope!! ;D
  • My point about using copyrighted art was there just to let people know that if they are copying and pasting art they find on some website, it may or may not be OK to use. As to Rovio, as long as you aren't using their images in a way that could damage their reputation, they are getting exposure. Don't be surprised, however, if for example you used a Bad Piggy image as your Gravatar and then publicly ridiculed Rovio by posting a scathing message about what an awful company it is, on your Facebook page... Rovio might not appreciate that and would most likely have its lawyers come after you for using their copyrighted image, even though you made no money from it, they have the right to control who can use it. Aloha.

    http://angrybir.de/1ehDfM9
  • I would like to nominate @annach but not sure if already nominated cause i can't see:(
  • I'm getting less than your screen shot @Kathy so it might be something to do with the site itself? @AMslimfordy or @sal9 is the forum site having issues? Kathy left a screen shot if you want to see what's popping up on the first page.

    Thanks for bringing it to everyones attention Kathy, hopefully either the guys or the site will fix it. :)
  • Thanks @Kimmiecv at least its not my wonky phone this time;)
  • Shouldn't be anything on our end. Looks like a wonky URL or faulty HTML. I'll try to look into it more, but E* will know more about the code than me.
  • K @Amslimfordy ty i know E* busy this weekend, but maybe she'll pop in :) ty
