Mine is an edited picture from the Fables comic series. I was completely addicted to it a few months ago and really liked the picture. :)

Mine is an alternate team logo for the Greatest Hockey Team Known to Mankind, the Calgary Flames. Most people know about the Flaming "C", but too few people know the Horsehead.

My avatar is for a soccer team known as Chelsea, or the famous CFC. They're based in West London in England. Got into them mainly because they weren't Manchester United, Liverpool, or Arsenal. That and they had this amazing player named Gianfranco Zola who was wicked.

Mine should be a team logo for the Greatest Hockey Team Known to Mankind, the Detroit Red Wings.

Mine is a T-shirt I had printed up after my, uh, enhancements were made.

The slogan is reminiscent of an old commercial that used to run. It seemed to fit.

Mine rotates on a fairly irregular basis... at the moment it's a picture of me in my favorite sleep pants. (Guinness pants of DOOM!)

Before that was a shot of my SO and I at our favorite Dallas club, The Church.

At one point I had a shot of my two oldest at a ren fair.

Another time was a standard face shot of me with long hair.

I have tons of pics on my compy.... they will all more than likely get "air time" as my avatar at one point or another.

My avi's Jack O'Neill, from Stargate SG-1. Mostly because I grew up watching MacGuyver, so I was a big fan of Richard Dean Anderson, and then liked SG-1 just as much or more. The character fakes being stupid most of the time, but the intelligence is there, just below the surface. He's also loyal to his friends, headstrong to a fault, and has a wicked wit. I'd like to think I have those traits as well. But I also have a small, just teeny, really, bit o' the dark side in me ;) So therefore, evil twin!

Mine's the Snoopy Happy Dance™.

I loved Snoopy growing up, especially his happy dance, which I sometimes copy when I'm really excited. I knew I wanted it for my avatar, but I couldn't find it. I searched for an animated avatar of him doing the happy dance for months and months before I finally found one. Now that I have it it's here to stay. :p

Mine is breasts.


Uh.... I have breasts.


Breasts are nice. I love 'em. :p

I've changed titles once or twice, and my sig, which is usually from some song, changes with my moods. But my avatar has stayed the same ever since I was able to get one on here (in the early days, you had to have a certain number of posts to have an avatar.)

Metal fans already know what it is, but for everyone else, it's Iron Maidens mascot, which is on every one of their album covers in one form or another. His name is "Eddie."

mine is from a web comic my friend draws, lost in confusion. I edited it and added my own words. I have been known to go off on rants about how I wish I had the power to kill with my mind. Oh and the charicter (cant spell) is basically me.

Amethyst Hunter

Mine basically speaks for itself. Because, well...it's true. XD

I have considered changing it, but I'm partial to snarky icons, so it will probably stay.

Rapscallion
01-28-2008, 09:27 AM
Mine comes from the first ever proper comic-length strip I commissioned from Jenie, long before she started doing the CS comic for here. It's an approximation of my face after Irony Girl came visiting.

Mine is some weird bunny/teddy bear thing I saw in a Franz Ferdinand video, "Take Me Out"

Which happens to be one of my favorite music videos because it's just so....random.

I do tend to change avatars frequently though.

Mine's a picture of Jack Sparrow singing "I've got a jar of di-irt, I've got a jar of di-irt!" and Davy Jones saying "You're so mean..." I thought it was funny.

(and, because I stole it, here's the link to the artist: Dolphy at Deviant art (http://dolphy.deviantart.com/))

I found my current avatar through one of the LJ communities I frequent. Found out it's gankable and ganked!

And, IMHO, it's true. I'm not skinny, and I've found those who find my type of figure to be attractive and aggressive (though not disturbingly so), out spoken, and tell it like it is. No wimps in my sights!

gunsage
01-28-2008, 02:18 PM
I don't think I've posted here yet. Often, my avatar changes reguarly because it reflects a character from a game I'm playing. Right now it's the main dude from Rune Factory. Previously, it was Serph from Digital Devil Saga. I believe I also had one that was the main dude from Persona 3. I don't really remember what else I've used, if anything. And often the tagline or whatever it is below it is something relevant to that character as well.

Edit: Ditto on the skinny girls for wimps. The aggressive nature and overall figure was what initially attracted my to my wife and I'm very happy with her.

Mine's actually ME. Taken while taking a break from playing music at a Library fundraiser.

Contrary to what they all think on the other board I hang out on (full of SCA people that know me), all that is in the tankard is water.

I change mine here once in a while. At the site I admin, we can use avatars up to 150 x 150 pixels and 60k. So I look for offbeat stuff just to throw people off. I change avatars there at least weekly, sometimes even more often. Very little of the avatars that I use there translate well to this forum.

I think it's fairly obvious what mine is. Hockey is my least favorite of the big 3 US major league sports but since the Steelers bowed out and the Pirates have yet to start training, (they're gonna suck anyway) it's the only game in town.

I should probably change it, but my avatar is Jayne from "Firefly" showing off the nifty cap his mother sent him, with a little reminder to all my countrymen who don't speak Canadian (I'm a major Anglophile). ;)

Mine as many of you can tell is of Teal'c from Stargate SG1 in his First Prime outfit.

Mine's the narrator and self-portrait of the artist for the online comic Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/) from the wonderfully funny-yet-twisted minds of Phil and Kaja Foglio. It just seemed to fit, though I may switch it soon. I've had it for quite some time.

FuzzyKitten99
01-28-2008, 07:33 PM
Well... mine kinda matches my name. I think I got this one as a Facebook tattoo, and I thought it was kind of sassy, so I use it as my avatar. I may be a small, cute, fuzzy little kitten, but I also carry a big stick... with nails! So don't annoy me... :D

I also use it on another board that I am on, along with the same screen name. Currently we are battling a troll infestation over there, so it kinda fits right now. I am troll hunting.

Mine is the character Gabe from the somewhat well known Webcomic Penny Arcade. It is just one of the many drawings of the character. I liked it because he is using his mind to blast something which I have wished to be able to do many many many times.

Gabrielle Proctor

Mine is some manga character. I think she's a character from CLAMP(a team of artists, not an actual comic) because it looks a lot like their style.

My best friend made this user pic for me for my LJ when he re-did the layout. It's the best one I have so I use it for almost everything.

Mine is the planet sticking out its tongue that appears on the cover of every version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I have seen to date.

In some ways, it's also me, since I rarely care what people think of me, and I like to think I'm doing to the everybody else exactly what my avatar is doing.

Mine is Pablo. I change it from time to time, but it's always Pablo. I put this one up right after New Year's with the line "Iz hunged over" but someone pointed out that he was still hung over 2 weeks later so I changed to just sleepy.

The funny thing about the current pic is that he was not posed or anything, he got himself in that position. When I lived with him I would sometimes wake up with him laying next to me, on his back, head on the pillow, feet sticking up in the air (which is funny cuz when he's awake he does not like to be turned on his back. He loves to have his belly rubbed, but he will stand and arch his back up rather than roll over for it :rolleyes:). Another time, when I was still with my ex, I woke up with my bf 'spooning' behind me, and I looked down and Pablo was laying on his side, his back to my belly, feet sticking out in front, being the 3rd spoon. I think he thinks he's people. :lol: He'll also stay in bed all day if you let him.

We are (waaay over)due for a visit soon. I want to borrow my dad's camera and take some more pics. I also need to get him on my phone, cuz I haven't seen him since I got my new phone with the camera.

So, until the day when I get a furry friend of my very own (one that actually stays with me; the cats live with my parents) it will always be Pablo. It'll be a while, since I'm not supposed to have pets in my apartment, and my roommate doesn't want pets. :(

I've changed mine a time or two, but it's been the same one for awhile. It was a rather rough year, so I pulled a good picture of Jenny from "Forrest Gump" and put on my favorite quote ever -- "Sometimes there just aren't enough rocks".

It's so good for and about so much of everything. I use it alot.

My current Avatar is Midna from Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Because she is full of awesome and really knows how to kick ass. She reminds me of a virtual version of myself (especially the love of mischief and chaos). I went with her true form because, although the impish form is cute and all, her human form is dead sexy.

Mine is teh mercenary group known as Ravenwood from the Tv Show Jericho. Probably because I think it looks interesting and I'm a bit mercenarial. Just not quite as evil as the way they are on the show. On Fratching my avatar is the holy symbol for the God Tyr in Dungeons and Dragons. Where in DnD Tyr is the deity of Law, Justice, Order. Some thigns I can definately dig.

I have no clue most of the time the snowmen are normal but once in a blue moon the devil one shows up. I don't know if it's just a random thing or based on the Sims personality. You'll need Sims Seasons to get them to make the snowmen.

Thus, I changed my avvie back to "main character" from the game. I'm thinking I may change it again soon, but if you haven't checked it out yet, you really ought to. By that, I mean if you haven't played Persona 3, do, and definitely check out the previews for FES. Good stuff. :D

Changed mine to pic of me playing guitar.

I think it's funny because it looks like some kind of rock star pose, like I'm really shredding or something.

What's actually happening is that my friend had some chord notations that were on the ground in front of her. I was trying to peek at them. Hence the weird, bent pose.

I couldn't see them and was crashing and burning. So about 10 seconds after that pic was shot, I gave up, put down the guitar, and just sang. :o

Mine is a pair of devil horns I made for a friend's class. The school she works for makes each grade level prform 2 plays during the year. I wrote and directed the last one her class did. When the day before the play (Feb, 28th) came around I had still not found a store that still carried horns that long after Halloween, so I spent the night making the two pairs of horns needed (the play involved the :devil:, one of his minions and an :angel:; for Christmas the school did a play with two :angel: so the halo was already in the prop room)

Afterwards, I kept one pair and let the girl playing Minion keep hers.

I normally use a picture of one of my two cats, but when pissed off the horns come out. :devil: They should be gone soon.

Mine is a heavily photoshopped version of myself; had my brother take a pic of me in that pose, then let photoshop do the rest of the work.

On my myspace the caption is "hands off the root beer!" because...well, simply, I needed something comedic to balance that out. It seemed appropriate for these boards though, since I feel like doing that to most of the SCs on the board.

So I changed to a pic of some pumpkins I craved this last halloween. You can kinda see a second one in the back. I craved five this year, all just as intricate as the pirate ship. Let's see there was the ship, a pirate skull, a cat on the moon, a witch and the grim reaper. It was a slow day this year. And I was really, really bored.:D

Until recently, my avatar was a stupid one that I did for another forum, that only progressive rock fans would get:
http://www.electronixandmore.com/adam/temp/icbiny.jpg
I recently decided to change it to a pic of one of my prized possessions, an Apple Lisa computer:
http://www.electronixandmore.com/adam/temp/lisa1.jpg
The first "affordable" (if you call $10,000 affordable, anyway) computer to sport a graphical user interface, released a year before the Mac. Not terribly many were made, and a fair amount of them ended up being buried in a landfill in the late '80s, so I suppose that makes them a fair bit rarer. Found it in the parking lot of a local computer surplus store, where it'd been dropped off (along with a bunch of other vintage computer stuff) by a couple of guys who just wanted to get rid of it, even though it's worth a fair amount on eBay. Definitely one of my best finds ever. :D See the website below for more evidence of my madness... ;)

Metal fans already know what it is, but for everyone else, it's Iron Maidens mascot, which is on every one of their album covers in one form or another. His name is "Eddie."

To be precise, this version of Eddie comes from the cover of the album Killers. Which has always been one of my favorite covers along with Somewhere In Time.

Mine is the planet sticking out its tongue that appears on the cover of every version of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy that I have seen to date.

DON'T PANIC.

Ah sweet DNA, how the world misses you. All the good ones die young, and the evil live to be old and gnarly.

Mine right now (copied bellow in case I change it someday though I'm not sure) is one done by myself in a few minutes on Gimp, it's Furui Kitsune or "Old Fox" in Japanese, it's a nickname I want to live up to but I haven't been able to until now. I basically wanted to stop being another consumer, another fan of something (though I AM a fan of lots of stuff) and wanted to make my own avatar and it's the first I came up with. I might change it if I come up with another idea.

Mine is Keitaro Urashima from the manga/anime Love Hina. I chose him as my avatar because he looks exactly how I would draw myself were i an anime character, down to the book and hoodie. I was GOING to use a different avatar that is my personal favorite, but Xieg already took Alexander, so I felt it would be a conflict of interest, and I couldn't bare forcing Alexander to chose between the two of us.

Anywho, Keitaro is one of my favorite characters: durable, nice, smart, even if a bit clumbsy and shy. He is too much like me for either of our goods (the ladies tell us how nice out eyes look when we ain't wearing glasses! Coincidence?)

Mine's the Pistons 50-year anniversary logo from last season. I want to change it to a more generic logo soon.

As to why - I used to play a lot of basketball when going to UofM - Flint. I just liked to play, I didn't know about pro ball at that time. I was on my second season of intramurals, when Nov 4, 1989, I was involved in a bad car accident. Stopped at a red light, my car was hit from behind by a alleged drunk/drugged driver going an estimated 60 to 70 MPH.

10 days in the hospital recovering from a subdural hematoma, a gash on my head, and various bruises. Then on the ride home, my back started acting up, which is the pain I live with every day.

Laying on the couch, bored, I see a game on the TV - the first rematch of the Pistons vs. Lakers since they won the NBA Championship the last season. It was one of the best games I'd seen - went to overtime, where the Pistons won it. I watched/listened to every game since. It helped me with my rehab - I rode a stationary bike during games, and got well enough to be able to ride through a half of a game. It helped me with the back pain too, that for 2+hours, I got concentrated on the game and not on my back.

Of course, that was the 89-90 season, I saw the 25-1 streak, the terrific 7-game series vs. the Bulls, and saw them win the championship again against Portland, on the .007 shot by Vinnie Johnson in the 5th game. I've been a fan ever since.

Well, for the longest time (see "haven't been here in ages") I had a dancing Shin Chan gif, but that's getting a little old. Some of you MAY know what my avvie currently represents, but just in case you don't, here's a little summation.

In Megaman Legends, you are introduced to Tron Bonne, Tiesel, and a number of their pirate...helpers. They kinda look like little legomen. Anyway, flash forward to 2006. Dead Rising features Frank West, photojournalist, in the middle of a mall absolutely infested with your favorite chainsaw fodder and mine: zombies.

What's the point? Well, one of the fun features of the game allows you to play dress up (sometimes literally (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0HyvFLoUbQI)). Since all games mentioned are Capcom, you guessed it...you can get a legoman helper mask. And yes, it's covered in zombie blood which, to me, truly represents what Dead Rising is really all about: a tongue-in-cheek action/adventure involving you, zombies, and oh so much more. :D

My current avatar is cropped from a Photoshop doodle comic I did based on a photo postcard ad I saw. It was Christmas-related, and said, "This holiday season, give a piece of yourself." The comic in question (viewable here) (http://mirrored-minds.net/kogarashi/LJ/zombievalentine.gif) had a zombie creating a valentine, with a very similar tag-line. I cropped one of the frames I liked and made an avatar out of it.

How about a nice, holiday themed avatar? I tried getting my 7 month old colt, Sawyer, into the Christmas spirit today. Not sure he really liked it :lol:

I had a nice holiday themed avatar - Pablo with a red bow around his neck (that one was from Christmas a few years ago). Then on New Year's Day I changed it to Pablo laying on his side in bed, under the covers with his hed on the pillow (he posed himself that way, too). I think he looks like he's sick in bed and it was National Hangover Day, so it was appropriate.

Yesterday I changed it again. I took the current picture on my cell phone. He was laying in my lap and I just sort of reached around with the phone to see if I could get a decent pic. I got a few that didn't come out half bad, especially cousidering I couldn't really see the screen to know if I even had him in the frame. :D
