I'll try to make a Snakeman pic. I actually think it kinda works for IMAGINE to be a polygon model on some level. It is kinda different afterall.
If you get bored or are feeling adventuress, you can try to come up with an Anime, Manga, and Merchandise avataar.
For anime I wouldn't mind seeing something done with these two somehow:

Try to make it transparent in the background, but you can end up with a drawn on type effect. Probably just kinda overlap the two heads with the drawing underneath would be cool.
For Manga find something b/w with a Manga style. Almost anything is cool as long as it looks Megatenish. Again still in the neck/head motif.
And for Merchandise something plasticy (ie. an actual photograph of a figurine)
For books I'm not sure... that would be the novels, and artbooks, guides, etcetera. Maybe some character reading a book... if it can be found???

Here is some raw materials for Snakeman. One is with a kind of anti-aliasing enabled (vasoline on the lense) ...however it isn't raster aliasing -- it is probably just a blurring of the textures. As you can see there is still a hard edge around the model itself (which should make clearing the background easier either way)
I suggest you either use a global blur filter on the un-antialiased image, and even try blurring the aliased one... so to decide which one to you fits in best with the others. I think it's pretty close to a kaneko piece as is myself. If you just drew some faux outlines on it (like the ones used unnecessarily in many contemporary Kaneko pieces) you probably couldn't tell from a lower resolution reproduction which is in-game or graphic art (save for some rought polygon silhouettes)
*uh oh, I'm getting an error about an "upload folder" being full*

I raised the upload folder size from ~10MB to ~100MB. I hope no one else was unable to upload something they wanted to

I wish the lighting was more interesting. Eventually I'll probably find a better place to take the screenshot

I didn't notice the speckles on this monitor. It must be too dark or something.

I've streamlined the category system. Well I added more categories, but they're all hierarchical now, and the front page I hacked to only display the top-level categories (I'm going to have to lean on the Wordpress people to make this a feature)
I noticed while I was at it, you didn't prepare a Digital Devil Saga avatar. So I just thought I'd remind you!

I'll probably get to this sometime this afternoon if all goes well.

I've never liked the look of that egg girl. But that is probably the best version of her I've seen.
It looks very cool, but I wonder if it's not too over the top for an avatar??
PS: His arm looks like a fancy straw

On second thought we can probably use it. It just needs to be cut higher. And it might not hurt to bump the girl up higher. I can edit it to my liking... but I'd still like to see alternative avatars if you have any proposals. The arm kinda complicates things.

Thanks.  I need to brush up on my graphic design skills. I haven't really done anything serious since college.
