violet parr - You’re welcome. Glad to see you’ve gotten the signature coding sorted out. Feel free to use my graphics any time. There’s also four other Violet signatures I posted on page 11 as a request for The Star Swordsman (another The Incredibles/Violet enthusiast, like yourself.)
Mitch - Merci for ze compliments!
Another bunch of avatars from WALL•E. I’m no good at adding fancy effects to my avatars, or at thinking up text to put on them. But I kind of like the simple, understated-ness that is the end result. I also like making avatars from the inanimate objects, as well as things in the background that usually don’t get noticed.
If anyone can tell me exactly when and where the cloud avatar comes from you get a free cupcake in a cup! (Plus another one if you can tell me without actually watching the movie first.)
I changed my avatar to one of the Hello, Dolly! scenes in WALL•E because I felt it was time for a change. I chose that avatar because of the hand-holding, I like the song “It Only Takes a Moment”, but most of all because of the soft, pastel colours. My signature is back to a picture of the Axiom, but I’ve used that one before and will probably change it soon, anyway.
I agree with you in that I do like the simplicity of the avatars you create, and I also like how you zoom in on such overlooked objects as the ring that WALL-E examines and the American flag on the moon. That shot of the plant in the boot is also very nice – it’s tender and easy on the eyes.
As for that “cloud” avatar, I’m going to guess that it’s during the moment where the Captain is giving out the morning announcements. I didn’t refer to the movie, since I kind of don’t have to. My youngest sister is only one of the most addicted WALL-E fans out there; she watches the film once a day at least, if not twice, so our household never has to thirst for a dose of WALL-E goodness. That said, I’m sure I’m wrong on my guess. (heheh)
Simplicity is something that Pixar seems to strive for in their movies, so to make such simple but attractive avatars sort of works in that sense. I love the shot of the Pong game being played especially- it looks great as an avatar. Nice work, Rachel!
Wow, as the others have said, it’s simple and pretty, very Zen-ish, Rachel.
I was thinking the same as Mitch in that the cloud avatar is from the ceiling of the Axiom during the day-time. And no, I didn’t cheat, I just thought hard for a few seconds at what point did they show clear blue skies in the movie, and come to think of it, that was the only scene and it was in an artificial environment, no doubt! Oh, the irony…
I couldn’t guess where the avatar of the console panel from the first-column, second row came from. Anyone (incl Rachel) would happen to know?
You mean that one of the blue buttons? That’s during the moment when EVE is first brought to the planet Earth – when that mechanism from the ship pressed several buttons on the capsule which enclosed her so as to open it up.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone. I might make some more avatars soon.
lizardgirl - Oh yeah, the Pong avvie. I like that one, too. Thank you! =D
The Star Swordsman - TY! Glad you like my “aavatars”.
thedriveintheatre - Ha ha! “Zen”. That’s neat. They do actually show the blue sky, at the end of the movie when the Axiom blows all of the dust away, partially, on Earth, and the camera zooms back just before the credits… And Mitch is correct, that is the panel that the robot arm presses to open up EVE’s case. I’ve always liked the buttons and design in WALL•E. Thank you for the feedback! =D
Mitch - The ring and the boot are probably my fav out of this batch, but I really do like all of them. Thanks! Yep, that’s where the cloud image is from. I shoulda made that question harder. Here’s your two free cupcake-in-a-cups:
Rachel - Oh, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. I don’t want to pressure you. But if you do make any more challenging ones then I look forward to seeing them.
lennonluvr9 - Well, that cupcake image was a prize because Mitch guessed correctly the scene that one of my avvies was from, but I’m glad you like it anyway.
After seeing the floating house ready to brace the lightning storm in the new Up trailer I just had to turn it into a signature. It’s really beautiful and eye catching.
I like your new sig! You’re good at capturing screenshots with beauty in them. I also notice how you don’t put taglines in them, which is good, cos’ sometimes simplicity works.
