Your avatar--tell us about it

[RestaurantDude]

I... ... ... I haven't got one.

[cinema guy]

Mine came from a site where you can make yourself in Lego. It is me at work at the cinema, although I no longer wear the uniform or sweep up pocorn, so I should probably change it.

Mine is of........me!

It's from around 8-ish years ago now, when I worked at the photo place. Our roving supervisor came in one day, and took a few pics each of my cow-orker and myself.

I beleive this pic was one of me with an envelope of customer pics, as if I was getting ready to present them to the customer. I scanned it into our digital photo station, cropped it, and used the software program (PhotoSuite 4) to alter it, by stretching out the chin a bit, to give myself a sort of Leno look, poofed up the forehead a bit, and did a couple more things I don't recall.

Had a lot of fun handing them to friends and others that know me, and watching their reaction to see if they noticed anything odd. Tried to make the changes subtle, so people would maybe do a double take and go "Huh"?

Six and a half plus years ago now, they closed off the last of the retail stores, which ours was one of, and with a very generous severance package, for lowly ol' retail associates, plus my accrued vacation/personal time, gave me enough to get my first and only computer. I was offered someone elses PhotoSuite software disc to borrow, but decided to be honest, and risk not violating any laws by using software licensed to another person.

Plus, PhotoSuite 5 was out by then. So, new and improved, right? Hell No!! By then PhotoSuite's owner had been bought out by another company. And whether it had anything to do with it or not, the bastards took away the tools for letting the user do their own enhancements, leaving only the programs own very general distortions. So much for being law abiding.

Upgraded to PhotoSuite 7 maybe a couple years later, half hoping they brought back the user choice enhancement tools, but, of course Nooooooo!


Bastards!

My avatar is in honour of Supernatural. The pictures came from an LJ called The Dean Show that does little cartoons of the Supernatural boys.

I've tried to change my av a few times and been met with protests, so I guess it's here to stay.

YYYYYEEEEESSSSS KEEEEEEPPPPP IIIIITTTTTT!

Supernatural = <3

I'm a fan of Jhonen Vasquez (Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, Invader Zim), and the book Everything Can Be Beaten was a fun, little read.

[Jack T. Chance]

Right, so in honor of the start of the new season of Doctor Who this weekend, I've changed my avatar back to the "disappearing" TARDIS avatar I used awhile ago.

[Evil Queen]

Where is that from? It makes me think of Shorty from Bust-A-Groove, but the outfit isn't right.

^-.-^

I have no idea but it's cute.

[draggar]

Its a coyote.

[protege]

Let's see now. Mine is currently an improved MG logo. What can I say, other than I've been working on it for several years.

[RetailWorkhorse]

I have no idea but it's cute.

I believe it's a sprite someone did for Beat-Agent, which I think was a dance-themed video game for the DS.

PS: You are aware I'm gonna make you study that dance so's I can tape it for YouTube, yeah?

[Becks]

Mine is Metallica's Scary Guy.

I might change it. I have some random pics hiding out in my computer.

[taxguykarl]

ACK!! To you too....

robot monkey

Since I'm just a well trained monkey on the phone and feel like a robot most days, that's why I choose my avatar. It's from a T-shirt website.

Plus, who doesn't love a pirate? ARRRRRR!!!


Good idea. I always wondered what everyone's avatar meant.

[gaspode]

Mine is the badge of the finest footballl team in the world(just ask Advanced Flea), Aka Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Its also the tattoo on my arm LOL

To another Lego you! XD

I believe I posted that site in Check It Out once, tho I understand that's not necessarily where you got the idea.
