>>Is there a way to use our own image for an avatar rather than the choices provided?

Sort of.

Option 1: Submit one or more images for Simutronics approval. If it or they pass, they will be added to the avatar icons available. But it/they will be available for anyone to use.

Option 2: At one point, a few people won the right to use a custom image for their avatar, one that would be designed exclusively for them. These avatars are not generally available, but are only rarely offered by Simutronics.

IIRC, option 2 was one of the door prizes available at SimuCon two years ago, and I don't recall any additional personal avatars ever being offered.

>>I submitted a whole slew of new avatars last June and resubmitted them in July when I never heard anything back. Just about every one of them was Simutronics art (critters, web graphics, and NPC portraits) 'cause I figured they wouldn't decline those, but none of them ever got posted except the atik'et. I've pretty much given up on them now. :(

Some of the places ones are up, and some of the others are up too, unless you submitted those earlier.

<<It's the 45 or so "new" avatars I made a few months later that never got any sort of response.>>

Bah they did too get a response. The response was "When we get to them, we'll add them."

Sorry, I thought a year's wait pretty much meant "No." :(

For I would ride with you upon the wind and dance
Upon the mountains like a flame." -- W.B. Yeats
