I would love to have a Tux.  I'm simply not capable of creating it.  
Especially when I see the quality of work done here.  Awesome, comes to mind.
So, PLEASE!  Could someone help this Tux-less old man out.

I'd like a Captain Canuck Tux with a "Los Pumas" badge on my left chest.
Transparent background if I may request that too.

Type of Tux: TUX G2
1. Grey gloves and feet.
2. Utility belt
3. Red & white tights type uniform, white hood with red Maple Leaf around the eyes.
4. Los Pumas emblem on Tux's left chest.

In case you haven't guessed, I'm a Canuck living in Argentina and a Pumas fan
Hopefully someone can help, because I can't draw worth (coffee) beans.

Are these done in SVG "scalable vector graphics" type drawings? ( better for resizing, I'm told. )
Not that it need be, just a question.
I have Inkscape and The Gimp, but can only do very basic stuff.  I can't even get rid of that grey stuff by Capt. Canuck's left fist.

Have a GREAT Holiday Season folks.

I came up with this:

I'm in total shock!  I'm amazed, I awe struck!     <- both thumbs up to you Asher.
Does that give you an idea of how I feel?

Me encanta! I Love it!

This little Captain Canuck is going to be my avatar in the Ubuntu forums, starting on Dec 26th, right after Christmas.

With your permission of course.

Then, since this one is obviously specialized would you put Captain Canuck up without the Pumas emblem in the right place for other to use?

Captain Canuck would be good for any Canadian, but 99.999% of them wouldn't be Los Pumas fans like me.

Thank you Asher, and to coin a slang phrase: "You the MAN!"

Merry Christmas - Happy New Year
Feliz Navidad - Feliz Año Nuevo
Joyeux Noel! - Bonne Année

EDIT:
That's one fine looking avatar Asher.  Very fine indeed.
Check my profile, that's the way it will go in the Ubuntu Forums too!
Thank you kindly.  I'll be back at some point in the not to distant future to show you how my progress is going.

I am very glad you liked it , here's your tux without Puma emblem and with grey feet :

I would ask you to add an inner glow to the feet because it looks flat.
And also add the gloves to the form of the tux hand.
It would look better.

Good work anyway.

Hi Folks,

Before requesting a Tux, I spent at least 4 days here looking at all the Tuxs in The Tux Factory, at 48 per page.  Downloading a few that I thought I might like to use.  Then I checked out the "Requests Pages"

That's when I came up with the Idea of Captain Canuck with the Pumas emblem.  I wanted something that showed I was  Canadian and a Pumas fan.  I had seen enough in the threads to know to give enough information so it could be done.  I cruised the net looking for the Captain Canuck image that would best display what I was looking for and the Pumas Logo

I also made myself a promise that if anyone did make me one, I wouldn't be like some here that would ask for various changes, additions, removals etc.  The artists here do this for other on a volunteer basis, free of charge.  I didn't want to abuse their help or time.

Asher pointed me to a tutorial in French for the GIMP, and after a some hours and completely wrecking my working copy a couple of times I put up a horrible display of my work.  But hey, it's my first attempt at this with a tutorial in a language I have not used in 25 years, with a program I am absolutely new to.  So in one respect, I'm proud of myself for at least trying (and will continue to do so too).

To Asher:  Thank you for Captain Canuck without the Pumas logo (and the grey feet).  But it wasn't for me.  I will always use the CC-Pumas Fan Tux.  I asked that you put it into the "Tux Factory" so that other non-Puma fan Canadians could use it. If I may, I would like to suggest a name:  "Capt. CanuckTux" or simple "Canuck Tux" if and when you put him in the "Tux Factory".    

Thanks
Bruce

You are absolutely right. I appreciate your positive feeling towards this forum and graphics in general. We will all do our best to help you as much as possible in the future. If you have any questions, just post them!

Well since this has a thread with Canadian tuxs. I was wondering if I could get a tux wearing red and white holding a Canadian flag. I too am Canadian. I would love to have it on my computer

My grandmother told me a long time ago, "If you ask for help always accept what you get, even if it isn't everything you asked for.  With a little bit of work on your own, the rest will come."  Very smart lady she was.  

I took Ashers latest Tux with grey feet and added the logo.  Again it doesn't seem as sharp as his.  I have to work on that.

Now I'm going to play with the crystalization again.  I wonder how many copies I scrap this time.  
Asher gave me an idea - add a curve to the belt.
Will post results in my thread in Graphics Novice Corner

Hi Master_Pirate,

Did you see this one, Tux is the flag:  Canada Tux or: Montreal Canadians or this one: Go Habs Go
There may be other Canadian content too if you look around.

How about one that fits your name: PiraTux
Maybe if you make a Personal Request to "mimipunk" who created PiraTux, he'd add a Red Maple Leaf over the heart.
Now that would be nice!

If none of those suit you, maybe you should make your own new request.  

Have a Great Day,
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
Bruce

Wow, thanks I didn't see those. I searched but didn't find any.

No problem. Glad to have helped.
