Lady Shyria's Emporium of Elegance-Purveyor of Fine Avatars and Other Sundries

[Shyria Dracnoir]

It is a sad fact of this modern age that many denizens of our glorious realm of the NPF can be described at best as unfashionable, and at worst as smelly, snotnosed wastrels unfit to brush whatever remains of their teeth with His Lordship's toilet brush.

However, we at the Emporium feel that, with a modicum of effort, even the lowliest members of the forum hierarchy can present an air of refinement and class. The most obvious vehicle of expressing one's inner gentleperson is choosing the right avatar. The right image, accessorized properly, can make even the Seiliest of Seils at least presentable in polite society.

All requests are accepted (with the exception of those too poor or Canadian to ask in the first place), and customers can provide an existing image to modify or leave the choice of avatar to the full discretion of the Emporium. In return, the Emporium promises to fulfill requests in a timely and classy matter*

TLDR, you bastards need some new avatars and I'm ready to give them to you. Besides, I know I owe a few smelly unfortunates some avatars from NonCon's last go-around and this gives me a chance to get those done properly.

[Geminex]

I say, I say, I say!
I wager, good madam, that your fine haberdashery's inventory contains not one single accessory that comes even close to matching the class expressed by my current Fancifully Self-Depictive Image.

[Liquid Snake]

I'd wager Solid Snake would be mighty interested.

[Nikose Tyris]

I'd wager Nik wanted one and didn't get one, but wasn't overly disappointed- although he would definitely like to resubmit his request now.

[Nique]

[McTahr]

I'll take eight!

Been a while since this strip came up anyway.

[rpgdemon]

I don't promise to use it, if you give me some accessories.

[Liquid Snake]

You're just extremely jealous of the profound friendship I have with my awesome twin brother, aren't you, Nique?

[greed]

Can I get a stylish Yanda?

[Rejected Again]

I'll take one, M'lady

[KeienSlayer]

I would indeed like to be returned to a state that is more asthetically pleasing than my current "about to be beaten with a fan" look.

I say, might my angry thought bubble also be given a monocle to reflect the glory that is my new look?

[TopHatAssassin]

I should also like to resubmit my request from the previous thread. I could use some classing-up.

[Loyal]

You have got to get a new background, Shyria.

I'm not sure I'm willing to take fashion/avatar advice from someone who wears so many bowties like that.

[krogothwolf]

I want one! I want one!

[Donomni]

I verily endorse her product and/or service.

Verily, I say!

[CABAL49]

I don't want to get rid of my cookie, but if you have any ideas of how to jazz it up I would be most appreciative.

[Tev]

Tevosaurus Rex want drawn with a fancy hat! Want fancy hat now please.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I must admit, you've made an admirable start to begin with. However, in my opinion, there is no such thing as too much luxury, and what is more luxurious than a good pipe and a touch of Pavo cristatus plumage.

I'm afraid we didn't have time to gift wrap it, but we hope you enjoy this tasteful depiction of Quetzalcoatl, patron of Mesoamerican civilization, agriculture, and all-around good guy.

I'd wager Nik wanted one and didn't get one, but wasn't overly disappointed- although he would definitely like to resubmit his request now.

Our sincerest apologies, good sir. Some weeks ago, due to extenuating circumstances, we had to postpone many of our older orders until a later date. We pray that this has been worth the wait.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/Nikoseavatar.jpg

*Note: I generally save the fully drawn avatars for people whose characters I already know or at least can find references for easily (i.e. regulars in the comics threads who have other comics and sprite sheets I can use for background). If you'd prefer a completely drawn one to an altered photo, make sure to specify that in your request and what you want drawn, otherwise I'm really just winging it.

[Nikose Tyris]

I do say, I feel like the most dashing fellow about!

[Nique]

My brain is going to explode from so many hats.

[Ryanderman]

I do believe that Beardimus Prime would greatly appreciate some refinement and class. The better to accentuate his luxurious facial hair with.

An especially good look for complaining about scabby kneed ruffians loitering in your garden

Can I get a stylish Yanda?

Of course sir.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/Greedavatar.jpg

[batgirl]

I think this super heroine would need a good sprucing up. Your best batgirl madam!

[Grimpond]

What do you think Zack? Would the girls dig some class?

[Liquid Snake]

Someday, fair sir or madame.

Someday, you will find me worthy of drawing one of your beautiful images traditionally reserved for your A-list friends.

[Wigmund]

Solid Snake would probably get one. :p

[Lost in Time]

I requested one in the previous thread and was lefted empty handed. Now this is your time to right your wrong!

Please. Thank you?

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

Can I get a stylish Yanda?

Yanda is never stylish!

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I'll take one, M'lady

Happy rocking, good sir or ma'am

An interesting challenge; I've never accessorized a metafictional concept before

I should also like to resubmit my request from the previous thread. I could use some classing-up.

I've always admired the Italians for their ability to stab some poor wastrel fifty times in the face/spleen and still look good doing it. Perhaps you will as well.

9.918 out of 10 Rounded up, of course.

[CheshireThief]

I do believe my avatar may need some spiffing up. It's getting stale after all these years, eh?

[KeienSlayer]

Thank you, Miss Shyria. I do feel much more elegant and stylish while awaiting the imminent beating.

And my angry thought bubble has become the personification of Simon Cowell. Excellent.

[Nique]

I do believe my avatar may need some spiffing up. It's getting stale after all these years, eh?

Hey! YOU! Fuck you dude where have you been?!

Rawr, RAWWWWWR!!!! Rawwwwr.*


*Hello my fine entrepreneur of the Emporium of the Elegance Pruveyor of fine Avatars, it is so good to see a fellow of a higher taste successfully undertaking and pushing for a corporate enterprise.

But I digress, I am occupying your fine establishment on business, and not just for simple parleying of elegant ideas. My jumping human slave with the golden feathery tail has been lacking in fine class and I was pondering if you could procure the necessary articles of clothing and class and remedify this situation promtly? The choice of color and style I shall leave to your fine tastes to judge, and you shall be properly awarded for your efforts.

[Flarecobra]

Hey Inbred, long time no see.

[Loyal]

Old guys are coming out of the woodwork, eh?

Shyria, these guys need some classy white moustaches to go with the rest of whatever you have planned.

[Flarecobra]

Gotta be careful though... otherwise they turn into Austrailians from TF2.

[Inbred Chocobo]

I've been around! I hadn't left unlike a local thief around here. Though to be fair I am a lot more lurkery than I normally am. Though good seeing you too.

[Geminex]

Gotta be careful though... otherwise they turn into Austrailians from TF2.

You say this like it would be a bad thing.

[Flarecobra]

Would you want your females to have mustashes?

[Specterbane]

Australian women have such wonderful accents though, but yes the mustache would perhaps be a bit much.

As for my avatar I'm a bit busy not being caught by ninjas at the moment, so I feel additional attire might be...a wasted investment. What with the fire. But I'm interested to see what your establishment would propose, should the lady not mind.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I want one! I want one!

From the windswept tundra to Toronto, let everyone around you know you're the top of the heap with this delightful look

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/Krogoavatar.jpg

I don't want to get rid of my cookie, but if you have any ideas of how to jazz it up I would be most appreciative.

They say that the high life is best enjoyed it groups, so here!

Patience is the mark of a true gentleperson, or as they say in the old country, "GRRAAAGH RAAAGH RAWWWR RAAA!"*

[synkr0nized]

Why look at that: it's a drooling chocobo.

[Darth SS]

My avatar is also woefully outdated. Perchance, could you create an image of one of the Darths (really, Vader or Maul) with a mustache and monocle?

[Viridis]

Vader needs his mustache and monocle affixed with tape, like the Pyro (http://wiki.teamfortress.com/wiki/Whiskered_gentleman).

[Geminex]

Alas!
'Twas only just now that clarity gripped me, and I realized my wager had been taken, and beaten at that!

I had not expected the pipe, madam. I had not expected the pipe.

Would you want your females to have mustashes?
The only adequate response, I feel, would be to repost your avatar complete with a mustache that would make Stalin feel insignificant.
Hey, Shyria. Get on that.

[Shyria Dracnoir]

I do believe that Beardimus Prime would greatly appreciate some refinement and class. The better to accentuate his luxurious facial hair with.

A fine beard without suitably classy sideburns is like a fine wine without cheese.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/Ryandermanavatar.jpg

I think this super heroine would need a good sprucing up. Your best batgirl madam!

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/batgirl.jpg

Just kidding, just kidding! It's a poor excuse for a gentleperson that can't have a good laugh now and again.

http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc230/Shyria_Dracnoir/Batgirlavatar.jpg

What do you think Zack? Would the girls dig some class?

8 out of 5 scientists agree that females of all persuasions appreciate a fellow who appreciates a fine Cuban cigar now and again.

[Grimpond]

Exquisite

[Doc ock rokc]

Shoot I'll see if you can Do me!

[Nique]

Alrighty, I'll bite.

Hope this isn't too tall an order. Avatar request is sort of based on a concept a friend of mine has been working on - a Mafia 'Anime', sort of a combination of the Syndicate from Cowboy Bebop, Hitman Reborn, and the Turks from FF7. My character contribution is a dude with incredibly bad luck who uses a weapon that get's better the worse his luck gets. It's a sword hilt whose blade alters form every day of the week. One form is a regular sword, the other is like a lightsaber, another one is a gun, etc etc. Sunday is his least unlucky day so the sword is inneffective and turns into a sausage on a hilt.

So basically I want to see a less emo version of this (http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-05/art/doc-vincent-turk.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.creativeuncut.com/gallery-05/doc-vincent-turk.html&usg=__Qu4IVW_C_dWVkPJ5wPR9rHCseLY=&h=1000&w=350&sz=33&hl=en&start=1&zoom=1&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=4GFemRxKknkxyM:&tbnh=149&tbnw=52&prev=/images%3Fq%3DVincent%2Bin%2Bthe%2Bturks%2Bff%2B7%2 6tbnid%3D4GFemRxKknkxyM:%26tbnh%3D0%26tbnw%3D0%26u m%3D1%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26imgtype%3Di_similar%26t bs%3Disch:1) dude (like, loose the 'I'm only wearing this til they come out with something darker than black' hair and go for something like... Dark brown. Red eyes also unneeded). Then with a sausage attached to a sword hilt instead of a gun. Feel free to include monocles and panicked expressions as needed.

EDIT: For clarification, I included such a long description since I didn't have an exsisting image of the exact character so I have no problem with artistic liberties. Just mainly want to see a guy with a sausage sword.

[Terex4]

I would also like to resubmit my request from the previous thread. Please use this as the character concept.

[DarkDrgon]

I need a change, but would love tosee if you can find a way to keep the Hulud-guy (thats the red one, not the worm).

if you can't, no big deal. if you need a better version of him, lmk

[Tev]

Rawr, my good chap. Rawr.

[batgirl]

Alas poor Joker, I knew him well!

I dare say, this is an avatar of the finest quality.

[Daimo Mac, The Blue Light of Hope]

I take it that is revenge for shooting you in the spine?

[Aldurin]

I'll need to think about this offer. The insane hermit, while no longer my representative, is at work remodeling his campaign. Jack does not need style, he already has a built-in hat and wings and a sword and shit. And my official avatar is unofficially on hold (i.e. looks like shit every time I draw it).

I'll scrounge up a base for a new avatar soon. Don't close shop.
