Avatar Competition - win a Primo Seat

edited May 2012 in Poker Chat

Hi everyone - a fun competition for you...

One of the things we might be doing on a future Sky Poker product release is updating / adding to the player avatars at the table.

Anyway, we wanted to run a fun competition on here for people to design a new one! The winner(s) will get a Primo seat and may even get their avatar built on Sky Poker for other players to use. How cool would that be.

So here's how to enter:

- Design your avatar (a sketch, felt-tip pen drawing or whatever)
- We are not looking for something professional or fancy, just a drawing.
- In fact, it must be a drawing so people can't copy someone else's work!
- Take a photo of it and post it on this thread please
- To stop people cheating (as if you would!) please write your alias under it too
- We might ask for the original to be sent to us too (just in case)
- We could show some of these on the TV at a later date for fun
- We'll pick a winner and announce it by the end of April

Get drawing!

Thanks
Sky Poker

    Some hints and tips:

    - Look at the existing avatars for inspiration
    - Don't try to be too fancy because it must be clear and simple onscreen
    - Keep it lifelike so it looks like a real person (not a cartoon, animal or whatever)

    Thank you!

    As my artistic bent is more Photography and editing, that is what I have used! But I must admit I would not be to keen on seeing 2 or more of me on a table! But I do think it would be good for the Avatar to be wearing a Sky Poker cap!


     Not really sure I look like a real person. LOL

    Ps I know I broke the rule of "It must be a drawing!" But as it is me you can tell its my own work! :)

    Plus I think the thought of having me staring at them on every table may just be the incentive that other people need to enter this to try to prevent that from happening!

    Amusing that everyone so far has failed to listen to the rule that it must be a drawing...

    Since you are very much lacking in blonde male characters I have spent a good few hours crafting this fine specimen.

    Well I gave it a go - this is the best I can do freehand.

    I wanted the one to look like a cheeky Sky Negreanu - Not sure I pulled it off?....



    Not sure who this fella is.........................
