I just realized I have the flyers for Magical Drop II and there is some nice character art on there...you know me, I'm always up for the promotion of Magical Drop. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0"> But I'd be happy to scan 'em...

I'm not part of the administration of this site but if Shawn approves you can send the artwork to me (NeoRasa@aol.com) and I'll try to crop them/format them to be avatars ASAP. <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

I believe that there is going to be a future section for mini-marquees and game art as well. I will inquire as to such, and see if there is some sort of standard resolution, file format, etc., that is favoured.

Well, actually, I meant scanning those flyers, cropping in on the characters themselves, and being able to use them as user avatars. I certainly don't mind scanning in MMs and inserts and whatnot if the site starts to archive those, but I meant to have a MD2 person instead of the Metal Slug tank I use now.

If you want it as an Avatar, just make sure the .GIF is no larger than 64X64 pixels, approximately 5k-8k in size. If you want it as a custom Avatar that no one else can access, e-mail it to shawn@neo-geo.com along with your request and your User ID here at the site, so he can set it up in a directory that only you can access.

If you want them available as Avatars for everyone, same rules on sizing and where to send it, just say it is for public use though.

One question if I were to send a custom avatar to Shawn: Would I give him my login name or just the name that appears on the boards?

I finally got around to scanning those MD2 characters...Shawn has uploaded them and they are now selectable as public avatars. Magician, Star, World, Fool, Justice, and High Priestess, all taken from the MVS flyer for Magical Drop II. All the avatars start with "md2" if you're looking for them in the list.

Thanks for the advice Biomotor!
