how did you pick your avatar?

I do not belong in this thread. D:

Power to the non-avatar-havers!

 

[Grampy_bone]

I used to have a generic Fallout vault-boy avatar when someone pointed out it should be Sulik. And they were right.

Strung Out (as I've said a lot of times before) are my favourite band and this is (one of) their logo. Plus no-one else has it, so I feel unique.

How? Borrowed the default Escapist avatar and threw it into Microsoft paint for a bit.

Why? Because I am Teh Kitteh!

Edit:

I wear black a lot and am pale as the undriven snow... it was appropriate.

 

[PureChaos]

i thiought 'what's my main interest at the moment...Naruto...who's my fav character from that anime...Kiba'...that's it, really!

 

[ajb924]

No one had a The World Ends With You avatar and Sho's my favorite so i picked him

 

[IxionIndustries]

I went to my Profile, I clicked the button to change my avatar, and then I uploaded one of the images I made in paint.

In all seriousness though, my icon is of a god that I made up.

 

[BIGB0SS]

mine is the Big Boss the best character already made in a video game

 

[newguy77]

Iron Man kicks ass.

 

[Azazcyh]

Because Bob commanded me.

Really tho, It's something random I made in paint.

I think it's awsome.

 

[Nightflight51]

Because he's creepy as hell. I like creepy.

I've been going tfor the roman T look on many things, Websites mainly. This is no exception.

 

[RyQ_TMC]

Laziness, simple as that.

 

[FlyAwayAutumn]

Mine is the Ace o' Spades I picked it because my friend once said to me "you're the Jack of all trades, ace" he said ace because just shot down a banshee with another banshee in halo 3.

There is another thread [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.116927] about the same thing as this on the first page. Use the Search Button.

That said, my avatar is Irenicus from Baldur's Gate II. One of the greatest, most evil, and yet most sympathetic villains I have encountered in a game. Seriously, play it: he's awesome.

agreed BG2 is one the the best games ever made- beautifully drawn and scripted (about to lose a mate here) just like FF7...but much more adult.
My avatar is there to gain respect from those who recognise it and sympathy from those who recognise and feel sorry for me

Search button.

But anyway, I picked mine because I hate Almost everything.

Am I one of those things included in "almost everything?"

Mine is just because it's funny to me and I don't think anyone else will look for it. And it better stay that way.
Grrrrr.

Yeah sure. I'll throw you in.

 

[Spirit_Of_Fire]

Mine is Lt. Colonel Roy Mustang from the Anime "Fullmetal Alchemist" I chose it because as soon as he clicks his fingers, your dead.

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

i made mine. i should change back to the whimsical dancing pixel man. It's more recognisable.
