Looking for Mass Effect themed avatar for this board. Lacking any kind of visual creativity. Anybody out there kind enough to do something for me? Your rewards will include a thank you and a virtual pat on the back. After some thinking and intense use of Google I came up with something, but maybe that's more something for a wallpaper. The idea of a couch came to mind. A couch where you have pillows resting on. Each pillow has a "simplified" face on them, representing one race from the Andromeda Initiative. One for Humans, Asari, Turians, Salarians and Krogans. Example for the pillows would be:

Being a service provider / industry, requests such as yours are designer's nightmare. You really ought not say "Make me something cool, great, awesome" for a few simple reasons: 1) Your definition of cool and their definition of cool greatly differs 2) You do not set any form of boundaries nor parameters for the said designers to work in (which brings to the next point) 3) It usually results in this: "You know what you don't want, but you don't know what you want" Whose to say a designer comes up with a Mass Effect avatar for you that features furries and futa? To him/her its great and awesome TLDR you have to specify some form of parameter, even as little as a color scheme helps. You don't go to a cook and say "Make me food". He's gonna cook you Rocky Mountain Oyster then, are ya gonna eat that?

I think your N7 Owl is just fine.
It`s more Mass effect than most other things you see here.

Sometimes I really have a hard time deciding on those things, but Rocky Mountain Oyster actually sounds interesting. Can't really think of much parameters or anything. Basically I am looking for something Mass Effect themed, safe for work, pleasant to look at and somehow calm/friendly. gethadept : That's just a mask from the Hotline Miami game.

Gotta say, I like the owl too. Props, too, to OP for being willing to try Rocky Mountain Oysters. I can't get past the idea myself.

OK, OK in your defense. Loosely speaking your train of thought should be something along the lines of Is there a particular character from Mas Effect that you like? Y/N If N then are you looking for wallpaper stuff (planets, environment, landscape) If not then are you looking more of a customized logo with N7 (caricature drawing, sleek and stylish, Hello Kitty Pink Theme Or maybe you want a fan art drawing of some sort. An animated GIF of part of a cutscene? After you narrow it down then you also have homework to do, source the material be it from deviant art, or wallpaper sites. If its a certain look and feel you like you can give examples (Back in my days 2advanced.com was used too often as a benchmark for sleek design, I don't even know if they are still running today)

What about ugly Shepard: Thank you for the input, but I think I will stick the other idea. The only thing ugly about is how much more options the editor in ME2 had compared to MEA.
