It is decided - I am artistically horrendous. I have tried to draw avatars of Storm, and failed time and time again.

Frankly, the lone eye is old.

I want a new avatar, and I want YOU to draw it. Here's what I'm looking for:

Storm's Headshot. He's a handsome guy, but not innocent, a little aged. Slicked back black hair and cheekbones. Pat Bateman (http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.theage.com.au/ffxImage/urlpicture_id_1063268554051_2003/09/12/Psych,0.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/09/12/1063268554157.html%3Ffrom%3Dstoryrhs&h=234&w=180&sz=11&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=NfqtTryNmT6-BM:&tbnh=109&tbnw=84&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpat%2Bbateman%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den% 26lr%3D%26rls%3DGGLC,GGLC:1969-53,GGLC:en) has always been a fixture in terms of who I picture when I write Storm.

Personal tastes: Doesn't necessarily have to be drawn, nor original. I'm not a big anime fan, so that "BESM" style probably won't work well. The character is a little too dark for that. No pictures of ducks, dragonflies, or boys kissing pl0x.

The grand winner gets their name in my sig, which ultimately amounts to, well, just about jack shit. But if someone was looking for something new to draw, have at.

Expand your mind, baby. You haven't lived until you've sampled a bit from that entire platter.

What the hell is wrong with dragonflies! And here I was gonna try to make you a picture. But with your bias against dragonflies, no no no can do now. You meaniehead.

Somehow this just captures Storm's character. (http://media.urbandictionary.com/image/large/douchebag-32667.jpg)

On a serious note, I'd just go with what's his face. Google image search works wonders and I saw plenty of photos with him with knives.

Viola! Storm (http://img238.exs.cx/img238/674/frank19hx.jpg)

You can thank me later. There are probably better pictures of him out on the web. Flesh for Frankenstein or Andy Warhol's Frankenstein. Google that if you wish

Cory supplied a nice pic, and I found a great bateman pic online, but this contest IS NOT OVER.

Please, let's see some of you artists work some magic!

I tried to use the "StormBlood" one as my avatar, but the size is too big. If I get a chance later today I'll shrink it down and use it. Very, very nice.

It was actually still 1 KB too big, but I stopped being such a lazy douche and fixed it myself. Thanks, I love it!
