How You get your avatar

[dauber22]

I\'m a Dilbert fan, too, but when I got around to choosing an avatar, I didn\'t want to hone in on Finn (Wally would\'ve been my first choice, too). So, I switched to \"Far Side\" and went for the dork/nerd/geek look as my older son refers to both myself and his younger brother as dorks/nerds/geeks, usually while shaking his head and laughing derisively. Little does he know that we wear it as a Badge of Honor!!!

Anyone with the Dalai Lama?

You dared to ask, my christian friend, you dared to ask.

I got my avatar because I like \'em, then I change the avatar about once a week or when I can get away with stuff like replying to rev or as a tiny gag.

Always been a Dilbert fan and I just needed a quick avatar when I signed up. Wally seemed an obvious choice from the CMON range. I am not too attached to him however, and may well be replacing him with a more sporting model shortly. Sorry Wal!:flip:

You tried that one, with \"the thing from beyond\" as an avatar
Just kiddin\', you do whatever you want.

Not exactly a \'sporting model\'

\"The thing from beyond\"

Do you mean \'Spike\'? My poor little doggy woggy? I wouldn\'t exactly call him a \'sporting model\'. I think he\'s getting a complex actually. He never really recovered from being referred to as a \'sock dinosaur\'.:bouncy:

Mine is a photo by Joel-Peter Witkin. He\'s pretty depraved.

My avatar was a Christmas present from an online friend who works at Disney. She made it as kind of a composite from my name and my personality. I love it.

It looks much better when it is full-sized... as soon as I get a few minutes I will resize and insert the image. It\'s a cartoon alien otter with a ray gun shooting down spaceships... hard to see at the current size.

Well, I figured I should find an avatar that looks just like me lol...ahem...

Seriously, though, since I was a kid I\'ve loved comic books (although I haven\'t bought one in around 6 years???).

I chose Magneto because I thought he was the coolest villain of all time. \'Nuff said.

Mine\'s actually me! Well... um. sorta. It\'s just a quick sketch of myself in pen that i scanned and tweaked in photoshop to make look a little better.

Amazing ! Although it does look like concept art from Confrontation to me... How queer.

I never thought that was actually you somehow - I always assumed it was a famous (American) Western Outlaw . . yours looks like an old fashioned Wanted poster . . ha!lol

 

[Flashman14]

like Black Bart or somebody . . .

Arnie is the best

I´m a great Arnold Schwarzenegger fan and have the T3 Arnie as a wallpaper, so I cut out the terminator´s head and sized it down, and that´s the result; those of you in the US are damn lucky ´cause you can see the T3 movie on 2. July while Germans (like me) have to wait till 31. July - \'John Connor, it is time!\'

 

[Vidja]

I chose Death because I love \"The Sandman\" (actually, I love everything Neil Gaiman ever wrote, sketched, directed, or whatever!)
This manga portrait was SO cute...

But no, she DOESN\'T look like me! Death is slim, while I\'m plumpy. She\'s raven-haired, and my hair is chestnut. She\'s a Goth and always wears black; I\'m no Goth and usually wear painfully bright T-shirts, or anything purple. Death\'s got a cool younger brother like Dream; my younger brother\'s a boring computer programmer. Both me and Death are very pale, though!

Ok I\'m Old, but not that old. As for Outlaws, I\'ve got too many of them!

Damn It\'s my 200th Post and I always though I\'d make it something sensible.(That\'ll be a change!)

 

[Flashman14]

heh . . . congrats anyway . . . !

Ah crap, I passed the 300

Happy 300th to me! :bouncy:

Diplomacy map

Yes, my avatar is a map for standard diplomacy, which is my favorite game when I\'m not painting

 

[paleotaur]

Wait, U4-welcome, you mean it never changed? It used to be confrontation concept art but I uploaded a new one. It looks right on my end.???

 

[paleotaur]

Oh yeah, congrats to Dragonsreach and Tuubje!

I was looking for something that looked like me, but I didn\'t feel like being totally cheesy and using one of the many crappy photos I had of me (Does anyone else have the problem where every photo of them seems to be either bad, or have you with your eyes closed? ).. and as I\'m into japanese pop/rock (aka jpop) I did a google search for jpop avatars.. it sorta resembles me, besides all the heavy eye makeup :bouncy:

Hey! I thought your avatar looked familiar. Reminds me of X-Japan. But not sure if it\'s exactly from them.

I thought mine was simple. He\'s a manga character named Kamui from Clamps\'s X series. Years ago, I was an X fanatic ever since they came out in 96. Now the series sucks, but I\'ve kept this screen name for so many years, so it just stuck.

And I liked the ambiguity of the name \"Kamui\". If I remember correctly, the kanji could be read something like God\'s servant/wrath, or God\'s downfall or something like that.

Oh, and the extra K in my name refers to my real name. And I liked the double K\'s at the time.

Resembles me? Well, no. 1st off, I\'m a gal. But I\'m a gal who should of been born a guy. That, and I have a facination on androgynous guys.
I guess I only resemble him for being Asian, slim (kinda. lol), and short haired.
