Title: Anyone got a Spathi avatar? (Bonus if animated.)
Post by: NamelessPlayer on July 09, 2007, 06:00:51 am
In the last few minutes of my personal ice cream cake day(which also means that I just turned 17-oh, wait, scratch that, it's 12:00 A.M. EST now), I figured I'd drop by this place again and humbly request something to use as an avatar to show off what I believe is the greatest game of all time on all the other forums I visit. (Yeah, the nostalgia factor from System Shock 2 wore off a bit, and so I swapped their places on my personal greatest games ever list.)

Naturally, Fwiffo and the rest of those crazy Spathi are my fave characters from the game, so I'd like a Spathi avatar. (Especially if it's animated to show off that creepy eye.) Even better if I see something like "Hello, Hunams!" at the bottom. Those last two parts aren't really necessary, but I'd still like something that shows off that distinct eye within a 80x80 space.

So, why am I asking this just now? Let's just say that after constantly seeing another poster on another forum I frequent use an Ariloulaleelay of Fayalarafali avatar, I figured that I'd follow his lead somewhat.

There's a guy at Something Awful who uses this as an avatar:

You can go ahead and grab it, it's not like he invented the Spathi avatar himself.

There's this one from PONAF:

I know it's rediculously huge, but it shrinks once you use it as your avatar. I considered using this for myself at one time.

I don't think  it's quite what you're looking for, but there's also this spinning Spathi ship from the same website:

sadly, it's from Star Control 3 and doesn't look a whole lot like the Star Control 2 version  :-\.

Edit: Oh wait, you wanted an avatar for other forums. I have no idea if it will shrink elsewhere.

It can always be shrinked manually... :)
