Slouken to Gnome/Pirate!

Recently, I've been wishing that Slouken had an avatar. Well, now he can. Check out this image i made for him



It may look a little wierd, but should become smooth after running through once.

Edit: Due to popular demand (afterall, Cairenn is pretty popular there is now a pirate version too! Sry about the white lines on the side. Think it may have gotten slightly corrupted in transfer... doesn't do that on my computer.

ROFL! Love it!

Although, it really should be a pirate! (because of this picture)



The boy looks fine as a pirate!

It's emailed

I used a slightly different pirate model (the captain) and it looks really really good.

Seriously, it seems to be based off of slouken...

Quoted from my post on the official forums:

Actually, I used several completely free programs to do those.

I used GIMP (available at http://www.gimp.org/ ) to edit the original picture of Slouken onto a blue background and make the WoW images SLIGHTLY more like him (only the gnome was edited).

I then used SmartMorph from http://meesoft.logicnet.dk/SmartMorph/ to make the images morph. There's a new program that replaces smartmorph, but I still use the old one..

After an idea by Guillotine, I wrote a short greasemonkey script to replace slouken's avatar with any arbitrary picture on the internet. I used a scaled down version of the pirate photo Cair posted.

Here is a link to the scaled pirate avatar: http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/3332/slouken0gx.gif

And a screenshot of it in action (ignore me crashing Wow... I needed to get 2 screenshots into one because I'm lazy):

http://img492.imageshack.us/img492/3782/ss6gg.jpg

Edit: I forgot to post my code for the script. This is the snippet of my code that does the avatar stuff; I'm playing around with some other things in the same script so I left them out.

Code:
var tds = document.getElementsByTagName('td');

for(i = 0; i < tds.length; i++)
{
	if(tds[i].getAttribute("background") == "/images-new/portraits/bliz.gif")
	{
		if(tds[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('a')[0].innerHTML == "slouken")
		{
          	tds[i].setAttribute("background", "http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/3332/slouken0gx.gif");
		}
	}
}
Here is a direct link to the script if some greasemonkey users want to install it. http://userscripts.org/scripts/source/2132.user.js

[Note: this includes my pre "fix"]
