How did you pick your avatar?

[Lord Krunk]

I love Psychonauts, and it was Valentines day a month ago.

 

[Anti Nudist Cupcake]

Because my avatar represents a happy retarded animal.

Ps.
Its SUPPOSED to be an animation of it running, not standing still. But for some reason my avatar won't animate, why? how do you get your avatar to animate?

Are you sure you saved it as an animation, GIMP asks if you want to save as an animation

what's gimp?

GIMP is some of the software I use to create avatars, its like Photoshop, but free

I didn't use gimp to make this avatar at all, I didn't even make my avatar. I got it from a website.

[Chicago Ted]

Go to Google Images. Think about user name for second. Look up 'Chicago Typewriter'. See this image. Now it's my avatar. Quite simple really.

 

[Sleekgiant]

I made mine

I call bull

I'd like a gif from this video please.

There is the post from the design thread, I remember chosing that part of the video

EDIT:My longer GIF

Actually you'll notice the one you made me is different to the one I use.....Because the one you made kinda sucked.

OH right I see you sorta took it back.....BTW making it myself really made me understand how frustrating it must be for you.

Well the reason mine is lower quality is because I used GIFsoup.com I was filling a bunch of orders at the time and couldn't use Video to Jpg like others. I was a little miffed that there was no certain time you wanted and tried the best I could.

 

[Kodlak]

I made mine up a little while ago, it's basically me once I've dyed my hair (damn grey hairs!)
EDIT: My avatar before was the Death of Rats, as I really like the Discworld series.

 

[Rainboq]

Came across it on deviant art, cropped it and used it!

 

[F8L Fool]

I've always been a huge fan of Jesters, Clowns, Fools, etc.

My first e-mail ever was Jester1985, and I've had tons of "fool" and "jester" e-mails and forum names since then. I wanted to find a really nice picture of a fool so I went on deviantART. I found many great jesters, but the one that really stuck out was the "Pimp Jester" series by Beveon.

Here's the image in my avatar: http://beveon.deviantart.com/art/Pimp-Jestering-106210125
Here's the original pimp jester: http://beveon.deviantart.com/art/Pimp-Jester-20066059

 

[Faulty Turmoil]

I like Splinter cell.

 

[benrout]

Haha, I actually googled "great forum avatars" and found this on a site under "Dungeons and Dragons" under video games.

I have no idea where it fits into D&D, but it looked cool.

 

[Sir Strange Of The House Lycan]

My original was playing in a Batman RP as the Joker,so I changed it to a image of him from Killing Joke.
My current:I just really like Trigun and felt it was time to retire old Jokes.

 

[TimeLord]

My current one is from the Iron Man 2 trailer and I thought it was awesome

 

[Venom Kitetsu]

Mine's the picture for a F.E.A.R. 2 achievement (beating the game on the hardest difficulty)

I just love the franchise (even the non-canon expansions).

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Rukia from Bleach because I loved the episode.

 

[PixieFace]

"CRY SUM MOAR"

[Ataxia]

I took my steam profile's avatar. I wish I could use something like a skull or the Grim Reaper (Steam name is Necrosis) but I just used a thing I made in gmod (As you can see it's a metrocop kicking gman in the nuts. Ouch. Ninja Strike!) and now I'm too lazy to change it. Plus Steam is such a pain to change the damn avatar (for me anyway). Now that I think about it I likethe black silouette with a gun who shoots himself in the eye mostly because I like the black silouette. It's pretty cool looking.
