ukrocky Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 So...title says it all really! Why/How did you choose your avatar picture? I'm a member on a fair few forums, with 2 having over 2000+ posts, including Modding one, but I've never, ever had an avatar. Any suggestions? I've just never seen anything that was like, yes, that's me, mainly because I can't draw for toffee...so yeah. Avatars kiddys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidKerrSmith Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 My Avatar is Brink, from the game Torchlight. At the time that I got Torchlight, I had a full goatee and I thought " Hey, that looks like a cartoon version of me" An that is that really. I've liked it so much it just stuck with me and I tend to use it everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melvazord Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I created my avatar as a sort of pastiche of The Laughing Man symbol from Ghost in the Shell:SAC. I call it Memento Mori Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 My avatar is the character Terra Mantic from a web comic I produced for a couple of years. I always liked the piece (drawn in the style of the BeGoths as a standalone portrait piece) and thought I'd use it as my avatar on here as well.

karn987 Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Eric jumped me in a dark alley... *shivers* @Ukrocky: It seems like just having a pic of Rocky with a flag behind him would work for you man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePandaDirector Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Mine's a self portrait, at first I bought some Series 7 brushes, but then I found that it was way more fun to paint my models with my hands.. I mean paws. But don't underestimate my endangered child-like, cuddly exterior - anger me and I'll bite your face off, chew your bones like bamboo and do a hand - paw dammit - painting with your blood. Have a nice day now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrocky Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) @Karn - Contrary to 'popular belief' (Ahem..). My username has nothing to do with the rocky movies, in fact, I've never even seen any of them. Rocky was the name of my pet when I first made the username when I was...10? And it's stuck ever since, so I made it pre-knowing about rocky, and still have never watched them... So the general idea for getting an avatar is wait to get jumped in a dark alley by Eric...?

TheOneWhoFell Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 My Avatar is Riza Hawkeye from FMA... and I used it to convince all the guys on the forums that I was a girl (it took me a week!!!). I haven't changed it, because it fits... but I'm keeping my eyes open..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 And I think tall fellows... Uh oh, I'd really better not post a real life picture of myself then. From now on I'm hunching whenever I'm on these forums! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordFett Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 My avatar is me, working on the forge. Hard to tell really because the size requirements for avatar images here is so low I had to make the photo b&w and turn the quality down to -11.

Chucklemonkey Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 In the only other forum I had spent serious time in - which was years ago - I had an avatar of a monkey waving his bum in the air. Searching for that somehow resulted in me finding a cat in a suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
