That Avatar!Where did it come from?

[RaphaelsRedemption]

I just read all the previous posts. And it was worth it. Nice people! Nice!

Mine is currently Rosie, from the Academy Award-winning short film Harvey Krumpet, made by an genius Australian with Plasticine. The character is a Thalidomide baby with no forearms. And she is CUTE!

Of course, I found via Google Images.

My previous avatars I created myself. The last depicted me in an eggshell, with a gas giant pattern, rising out of a supernova. I did it for an assignment and called it "Cosmic Egg". However, the image is really too big for an avatar and I don't know how to post it so that people can see it properly here.

Help?

uhm right.. well my avatar is a drawing i made. Its a character i came up a while ago as a character for a webcomic i was considering doing. Since then she has grow, and has become a sort of female alter ego for myself. At the moment i've done a couple of one shot comics, and am writing a novel, featuring her. All are works exploring my perception of myself, trying to look beyond what i'd like to see myself as and really admitting some of my deepest flaws and fears to myself.

Mine's Spider Jerusalem, of the comic book series "Transmetropolitan", by Warren Ellis. It's really great. In particular, it's trimmed down from the cover of the second trade paperback, Lust For Life.

Uhh... Mine's a picture of a Guinea Pigs' head photoshoped onto the Ghostbusters logo.

Thats about it.

to be more exact, a guinea PIRATE. is that from pandemonium II?

Mine is a... pretty rainbow eye... I found it on Google doing a search for "rainbow eye" 'cause I'd seen one once, thought it was awesome, and couldn't remember where I'd found it... but I found this one and it's even better!

Mine's a picture of one of the singer/violinist Emilie Autumn's back-up performers, The Bloody Crumpets. Her name is Captain Maggot, she's kind of a goth, harlequin pirate.

I've gone off Emilie Autumn as a person quite a lot recently, but I'm still a big fan of Captain Maggot, she really made the shows entertaining and she's a great performer (and kind of cute I dare say)

I left the March Madness stuff that someone did for me here on for 2 reasons.
1. I'm lazy
2. I like the subtle animation behind the MM bit, and I don't want to throw the baby out with the bathwater if I change avatar to my old one, as that wasn't animated.

It's Mystic, a shopkeeper of magic items and potions in the game Nox.

Mine is stoner fox?

Tod is NOT a stoner! The Fox and the Hound is a brilliant movie.

It is awesome. It reminds me of a certain moment i had some time ago. I just say stoner fox to throw people off to what he actually is smiling at ;]

Mine is Ichimaru Gin from the Bleach anime, right when he waves goodbye to the protagonists in the anime. I just thought that moment was awesome, just because Gin always seem so glad.

I'm thinking about changing to an avatar I've used on a Norwegian forum for two years though, it's my trademark there.

I'll give you ten thousand cookies if you guess what my avatar is from. Unfortunately, the cookies only exist in your mind...

I'd say most gamers know where my avatar is from.

For those who don't know, it's a Protoss Dark Templar from Starcraft.

Amazing parenting.

 

[Lekonua]

I made it. In Flash.

It was actually for the loading screen of one of my class projects. Decided to shrink and GIF-ify it for avatar usage.

Mines the VALVe guy, the intro to HL2 and HL2: Episode one.

 

[WayOutThere]

My avatar is pen-pen from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion. I found pen-pen to be quite an enduring character.

 

[Dr. Crawver]

I made mine myself, just recolouring the origional

 

[STE3L]

I just searched optical illusions, because I wanted a video avatar but have no idea how to make one, and decided that optical illusions were the next best thing. Granted this one isn't really an optical illusion, but I thought it was iconic and looked awesome.
