Once upon a time, when I first joined this site, I wanted to use something unique, something no-one else would have. I decided, after a while, to use a drawing I did for something else entirely. It was my pirate cat [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/AmbushCat.jpg] avatar, and it lasted a long time. But as things went on I started to grow tired of it, and encouraged by some of the people here, I started drawing another avatar.
The result was the kitty reaper [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/ReaperCat1-1.jpg]. This avatar was the one I became well known with, as I switched to it just as I started to participate more often in the forum games more. It lasted me a long time indeed.
I then became interested in animation. I had declined an animated avatar prior to that, since my attempts at animation were somewhat amateurish, but I started to get really into it, and I came out with this [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/Kittyreaperblinksandmeows-mini.gif]. I thought it was perfect.
At the time I was using a Christmas variant [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/Reaper-Holly.gif] of the kitty reaper made for me by [user]Diagonal Horizontality[/user]. I waited until Christmas was over before attempting to switch, but then disaster hit. My new avatar was the wrong size, and wouldn't animate. I was heartbroken.
After a few days, I went back to my animation program, and set upon my avatar again. Resizing the image wouldn't work for some reason, so I started over. I finally came out with this [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/Kittyreaperblinksandmeows5mini.gif], which, while similar, just didn't cut it for me. I stuck with it for a while, but finally I discarded it in exchange for this [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/BakuraStare2.jpg].
This avatar didn't last me very long. However, it did mark a change in the style of avatars I would be using. After I got tired of Bakura's glare, I briefly went back to another kitty reaper avatar, this time in negative [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/ReaperCat-negative.jpg], and stopped posting for a while.
I came back, equipped with this [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/bakurasteak.gif]. Bakura eating steak was something I thought was hilarious, and I kept it for a short while. By this time though, I'd stopped keeping the same avatar for very long, and soon tried switching out again.
I went over to this [http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g307/akina_anime_gurl93/Yu-Gi-Oh/ryou.jpg]. I then got stuck as a lurker when outside reasons stopped me from posting, and so this stayed for about 6 weeks. Towards the end of those, I had started playing around with frames again, and came up with the avatar I had right before this one [http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu273/Azraellod/BakuraDraws5.gif]. I liked this, although I never quite got around to perfecting it.
Thus ends my spoiler box, because now I'm actually going to mention my current avatar, so it's actually more relevant.
