Like you new avatar Lilith! :D :D

Go show them who's boss! :p

I could use a new one also. Something that fits me a little better than the one I have now.

TY Xanne~ I am still playing but I like it so far...... really liked the one Aqua suggested but I could not color it.....
Souls~ I can find you one

mmm that's a nice one lilith.....

Some people are not so sure......but have ways of convincing them.....;)

mmmmm..promises promises....ok ok !! I love the new one

Try this Lilith...
 

Same as the other but with a little color...

hey lil. I like the one your using right now but there is somthing about the thought of you drinking bodily fluids that seems appropriate(sp?)so as for the dracula pics I like the first.

Aqua~ TY so much..... I tried to color her last night but I am the least patient person I know! I like her. I have a pic of her that I love but can not use. You and SFC both had mentioned whips so I went hunting those...... Thanks again!

Jay~ go to the basement NOW!!!!! I will deal with you there!;)

Lilith ---

The whip image is great!

Just thought I'd offer, though, if you (or anyone else) is having trouble with an image, Sugarfreecandy Graphics Ltd. is open & ready for business... No charge for the ladies, though I might charge the men a grope or two. Anyone who needs help resizing, colouring, or otherwise editing an image is more than welcome to PM me for help, and I'll either help with instructions or get that person to e-mail me the troublesome graphic so I can work on it... Any excuse to play with pics, as far as I'm concerned --- I'm almost as addicted to Photoshop (and Illustrator to a lesser extent) as I am to Pixies', and we all know that's really saying something!!! :rolleyes:

p.s. Today's trivia: the word 'avatar' is from the Sanskrit, and in Hindu mythology refers specifically to the earthly incarnations of Vishnu, one of the principal gods. Much like Jesus, as part of the Holy Trinity, can be seen as an incarnation of God, Vishnu's avatars are still Vishnu but also have unique characteristics of their own. Vishnu has 10 avatars: namely, Matsya the Fish, Kurma the Tortoise, Varaha the Boar, Narasimha the Man-lion, Vamana the Dwarf, Parashurama, Rama, Krishna, Buddha, and Kalki. Kalki has not yet appeared; all the others have already come to restore the cosmic balance of good and evil. Kalki is awaited at the end of the present era of darkness (the Kali Yuga) to again restore the universe to a state of balance and bring great wealth and prosperity.

Okay, I'll get off the lecture podium now... :D

*sigh*
SFC, I get weak in the knees when you talk like that... ;) Lecture away... :yellghst:

Aqua --- Just for you, then:

Krishna, the 8th avatar of Vishnu, was reknowned in his youth as a great lover. (I think he'd fit in very well here... ;)) He was a cow-herd, and would wander about in the evenings playing his flute, and all the female cow-herds (gopis)would hear it and run to him, abandoning their husbands and families whenever he played. (See the picture below.) His consort was the beautiful Radha, but such was his power that according to the mythology, during these nightly trysts, he would multiply himself so that every single one of the gopis would feel herself to be in divine sexual union with him.

The bhakti (devotional) tradition of Hindu worship often focuses on Krishna, with poets (bhaktas) casting themselves in the role of Radha or the other gopis in order to experience the overwhelming power of Krishna's consuming love. The resulting poems are very erotic and often heart-breakingly beautiful. For example, the following comes from Vidyapati, who wrote this about 600 years ago:

All my inhibition left me in a flash,
When he robbed me of my clothes,
But his body became my new dress.
Like a bee hovering on a lotus leaf
He was there in my night, on me!

p.s. Somebody lock up the podium before I'm tempted to spout lectures again! :D (Can you tell I'm in essay-writing mode? :rolleyes: )

o.k. i'm in the basement waiting should I attach these hand cuffs and shakles??

Does anyone know how to make their own avitar? I'd really like to know that. I've been working on it but each one I try is too large or the resolution sux.

your best bet is probably to convert it to .gif format. this will shrink the file size. there are a lot of programs that will do this. also, don't use a lot of colours. when you draw one yourself, make start off with a 256 colour jpg....probably your best bet.
