OK Rob, Rob, I narrowed it down to 3 original series options or Taco Bill. I picked:
1. Kook because I like the character, and I think a smoking penguin would make a cool avatar (especially animated),
2. Dr. Ono for the same 2 reasons, and
3. Grime (heavy) because I remember the 7th series the best as a kid & I also think the dropping dog food would make a cool avatar.
Taco Bill works obviously because of the name (good call Rob) and the animation potential as well.
What are your thoughts on these? (or anyone else who cares to chime in)
The Kook penguin is a great character for an avatar. If you made it with motion, the cigarette(s) could have a puff of smoke. Or Kook could toss the cigarette in his left fin into the air, end over end, and catch it, like Johnny Carson used to do with his pencil during The Tonight Show, lol
Dr Ono the Crackpot Brain Opener would also make a good avatar. One thing - the full scene has two characters and they would be small in an avatar unless you used only one – the doctor might look cool by himself, maybe with his head nodding a bit or his eye-balls rolling around (maybe one eye-ball rolling?). The Grime dog with the food dropping would be cool, but I think it might be tough to make an image with the dog’s expression before the food lands on its head.
From your list, I like Kook and Taco Bill best. If you want more ideas and feedback, you could write up your avatar concepts and create a thread with a poll. But maybe that is going overboard, something I often do
