The 'I wanna be on the...' SSMB Hype Train image thread of me me me

[Badnik Mechanic]

Edit:

 

Project finished.

 

 

 

=================

 

Original post:

 

 

Sigh... why am I doing this...

 

Ok... In which we had to werehogify characters/people to win an SSMB Baydge? Well I had an idea for an entry and came up with this image.

 

 

Now at the time I only worked on it for about an hour or two and said it was 'unifinished' due to the fact I had to be up early the next day, which also happened to be the day that the contest closed so it was never going to be completed. Some members requested that I finish the image and I wasn't against the idea but one problem I quickly noticed was that several members had already changed their avatars before the week was up so I didn't see much point in it.

 

Well... it's a new year... sort of near the start, and we've got new consoles, new sonic games, new E3's new conferences new... things! Coming up, so I've decided to at least attempt a New SSMB hype train image for 2013.

 

This idea originated from GAF (I think) and many forums now do one just because... well... it's a good idea and it's fun to have a sort of OP image for exciting news or... whatever it is we get excited over.

 

So heres the thing, originally I was going to include as many SSMB members (active and innactive) as I could find. However doing that has it's problems, main one being, it's too easy to miss a very active or popular member and if people change names/avatars it becomes much harder to keep track.

 

So for my own sanity and in a bid to keep this thing on 'track' so to say, this is your chance to 'book' a ticket on the SSMB hype train image. That way I can at least add people who definately want to be on it, and if people don't get added and then complain I can... .. ... urm... continue to drink my tea?

 

If you want on please say so in this topic and provide either your usual avatar pic or an image that could be used as an avatar as per SSMB's avatar rules/restrictions which can restrict yourself.

 

Please make images as a PNG file type (if possible and no massive file sizes).

 

Idealy do not post a 'transparent image,' give it a 'white background' if you can, main reason is that my photo edit software is from 2000 and it doesn't do transparent images too well without a great loss in picture quality. You see in the image above theres that purple lizard thing about to eat the SSMB Members text? Thats what happens when my software tries to deal with a 'transparent background.'

 

Once your image is added to the main thing, I cannot change it. Reason being is that as anyone who uses a photo software will tell you, eventually it becomes hard to find a specific layer or move the images around so the new one fits in. If you post and want a different image, you can edit your post, but once I add it to the main thing, It'll be unlikely that I change it.

 

On the subject of what image you want. Avatars which are of a face (be it human, animal, real life, cartoon whatever) work much better than the following.

 

A whole character/body image.

Text.

Numbers.

Symbols

Logos.

 

Whilst I will use the image you provide, be aware that anything other than a 'face' won't look as good, reason being is that the idea is that the forum members are riding on the train, so anything other than a face will look part of the train as apposed to being a passenger.

 

Oh if you originally said 'I wanna be on the train' in this status update. You are indeed on my list of people to add, but I've not started work on this yet so you can change if you want to.

 

Right I think thats everything, but if I run into problems or need to change something I'll post again.

 

 

P.S. This will likely take a while to complete, what with my J O B and TSS duties that I'll be doing along with this. But I'll try to post updates if it's taking a long time.

 

 

Edit: I see people liking this post (yay!) but if you want on for definate, please actually reply to the topic, even if it's just something like 'I want a ticket!' Just so I definately notice and see it.

When you say Blank Background, you mean transparent? Or a white background? Either way, this sounds fun enough.

Transparent, thats the one.

 

Yeah, for some reason, the software I use can do 'layers' (no Ogre jokes) but it can't actually create an image with a transparent background, it has to fill it with white or black, which is fine, but when you attempt to load into it an image with one, thats when it starts to cry and bugs a little.

 

It's no a major problem, I can still use it, but it just means a lot more work at my end which takes time.

Sure, I'll sign up:

 

 

EDIT: Oh, just read the part about it being a face. So... I guess this could be jumping on or act as a wheel or...

Guess I'll join. Here's my avatar, using this one because it's probably easier than my current one right now:

I don't know if I'd be able to get in since I didn't post in the status, but here's an old avie I had.

Not sure how to make transparent backgrounds or whatever (and not even sure if this has a transparent background or not) but use the face from this. Not sure how to get it on it's own.

Actually, I could probably make that work if you really want it.

 

it's mainly if people had an avatar which was literally a logo or text that will be the big problem. Body/entire characters are workable, but they won't look as good as a face.

 

Edit: Felix, LhanCat I can definately use those. Chaos Warp, that image will work on my computer, and I can make the image of Sonic work in the main picture too.

 

Edit 2: Felix I could have used the Jaba avatar if you want? But the Sonic one will work also.

Well, I'm in, give me a sec....

well that was easy:  luckily mine does have a clear/white background, does it work?

*saves and loads it in his software*

 

That'll work fine.

ME, COLA

[Jetronic]

I wanted to use the N avatar I had before being this

 

 

But it's a bit grainy and a pain in the ass to get rid of most of the background because of it, so I'll opt for Druddigon instead -

Count me in. This one has a white background, but a black border around it. But it still works, right?

 

[Swiss]

Count me in!

[Badnik Mechanic]

All images posted so far should be fine. Actually, unless you get a PM from me saying otherwise, consider you image ok.

 

Anyway, time for me to go to bed now so won't be answering anymore questions right away.

[Naysu]

I'd love to join in on this, even though im still classed as a novicely newish member, However My chao pic is completely tiny, If this is a problem I can try and make a seperate larger image of just its head and place that in here if that is easier for you, let me know

 

[NGw00d]

Here ya go.
