What's the story behind your avatar?

[OmniscientOstrich]

It's an album cover. Specifically Ulver's beautiful Nattens Madrigal. I had my previous avatar for quite a while, but I figure now I'm going to do what I originally intended and swap out covers of albums I like every few weeks or so, or maybe make it a monthly thing. Iunno, but I'd like to add a little bit of variation. :3

Self apparent, really. I chose the name first, then got this from Wikipedia.

You know what I was actually curious as to how you came up with your avatar and now I know. And thank you, I try to keep improving my skills so I can do a better job at making avatars for people. I am actually thinking that I may keep this avatar for a long time since I think it fit's me perfectly and I think your current avatar fits you perfectly as well

I think it's cute and it's the only thing with almost as much snot as me and it's one of my favorites as well

I used to play an MMO called Ragnarok Online and was in a guild called Wild Se7en. One of the guild members would make people avatars and sigs. She mad emy avatar and I have basically kept it with me ever since. For an added story the whole guild thought she died from cancer for a long time then I met her a couple of years later. That was good to hear.

My favorite slide from ZP ever

Hmm . . . I've been asked about my avatar quite a bit since I chose this one.

Well, if anyone's wondering, it's from this old game . . .

Spoiler

[br]
That game series was the very first video game series I ever played.

So I guess, I chose this avatar for nostalgia reasons (and perhaps also because it's so recognisable. . . . [small]It is recognisable, right?[/small])

Woah, I had this game back on my first computer. Terribly difficult game (at least at the age I played it).

I looked up Nietzsche on Deviantart when I was bored. The Ubermensch logo came up. I liked it.

 

[C2Ultima]

Made it in photoshop for no reason. I thought it might look nice as an avatar.

 

[ThePS1Fan]

I Google Image Searched Rainbow Dash one day and saw it, not much else. It's also my desktop background because I have no creativity.

 

[smurf_you]

my avatar is a cat girl I found in my bf's "cute things" folder (I know right?) and I thought she kinda looked like me so I thought I'd use it

 

[KefkaCultist]

Well, mine comes from this video:
I found it through a post on Escapist and loved it, so I decided to make a .gif out of the vagina monster.

I've named it Vagithulhu. ^_^

 

[ulzugot]

That's my mental image of myself.

Seriously: Nextwave: Agents of H.A.T.E. is one of my favorite comic books, and image of a red T-Rex (Devil Dinosaur) in a smoking jacket, with a gun and martini is one of the most awesome things I have seen in comics.

 

[Trololo Punk]

Mine is of Pierre Trudeau, the 15th prime minister of Canada doing a pirouette while the Queen of England was leaving the country.

Saw it in a history text book and thought it and the story behind it was cool so yea.

 

[Nostalgia Ripoff]

On another forum I frequent, there was a fad where everyone started adding hats to their already existing avatars. Then I made it my avatar here.

I'm a conformist.

 

[BakaSmurf]

Drew it myself, he's a character from my graphic novel. Not much more to say.

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

]It's from... this scene:

Spoiler: NSFW

Kirby, because he doesn't take shit from nobody.

Steal his cake? HE WILL BREAK YOUR FACE.

Take away his ability to dream? HE WILL KILL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS

Turn him into a ball? HE WILL TURN YOU INTO A PUDDLE

Try to shroud the world in darkness? HE WILL SHROUD YOUR EYEBALL IN ITS OWN BLOOD

etc. etc.

and other things along those lines.
