What's the story behind your avatar?

[Bat Vader]

I just kinda ran across my avatar while surfing the internet. I am glad I did. It is Batman and Darth Vader combined. No one is safe.

I spent a week working at a mountain dairy one summer, and while I was there, one of the cows had a calf.
I took a picture of it and used it as my avatar.

Then came my first March Mayhem, and I decided to ask some user to help me customize my avatar for the occasion.
[user]darth.pixie[/user] made my avatar spin over a march mayhem bacground, and later he changed the background for the one you see now.

I met Obama...




He was very still and his skin was very waxy, but I thought I best share it as it's not everyday you see the President in Blackpool...

Its a drawing of Rick from Splatterhouse that i did one night when i was bored.

I'm a big fan of the Berserk anime, and have recently begun to read the berserk manga. I thought Guts/Gats was an interesting character ontop of being a total badass. The whole "a man must find a dream to live for" bit didn't draw me in as much as Gutses refusal to back down on anything, no matter how hopeless. Thanks to that something clicked inside me, and I haven't let myself give up on anything since.

I loved that so much that I made him my avatar. Looked for a picture where he didn't have a angry face, or even a creepy one. I just wanted one of Guts being Guts during the golden age arc. I found a picture of him with Griffeth, but I cropped Griffeth out, just leaving me with Guts.

Dale is hilarious, especially in that specific episode.

Spoiler: I'd put consideration into this

OT: Dash is awesome, and this scene just begged to be made into an avatar

 

[Vault101]

I know I should fix it at some point

Do you make your avatars yourself?
I always wondered where you were getting so many awesome Footrot Flats avatars from.

yep

generally when Im ive got nothing better to do

The Cheshire cat is my favourite character, nothing else to say really.

I know people have said this to you before, but your avatar is one of the creepiest avatars on this site!

Why thank you my good man (I think).

I tip my hat to you! :3

My avatar is awesome no doubt about that (I kid I kid), and once again I extend my gratitude to Caramel and Ultimateownage for resizing it for me :3

 

[Esotera]

Spent two hours making it to avoid coursework, it was supposed to be way more advanced & have pixels going out in random directions, but ended up just leaving it simple.

I was more interested in your old avatar.
"Blue"? I think it said. What was that one about?

Aha, glad to see it's gained that much recognition. It's from a strip in a webcomic [http://lastplacecomics.com/comics/presidential-debate/] which I turned into a gif, thought it would fit a forum quite nicely. I need a new avatar really, this one's getting old.

Mine is I've been playing PC games since 1993 and a couple of years ago there was a number of "PC GAMES ARE DYING!!!" threads so made this picture my avatar to save me having to post it each time. Also, I think its quite funny.

Well it's no brainer that I'm a brony and I wanted a pony avatar to replace my old one (it was kind of boring). While I did wanted a Fluttershy but any Fluttershy gif avatars I had found, someone else on here was already using it and I want my avatar to be unquie.
Anyway I went for the alternative pony Pinkie Pie as she had some clips that are perfect to be in avatar form.

Warren Ellis comics are the best and everything about Doktor Sleepless made me go:"Fuck, yes! If I was rich and could get away with it, I'd pull the same shit!" Unfortunately, the warning sign I originally wanted became illegible after resizing to avatar format (it had a picture of an angel with the text:"Angels are the new UFO's. Watch the skies"), so I picked this one instead. It suits me, because I lose track of time frequently and severely (I've been wrong about the month in the past).

 

[Mekado]

An awesome, grumpy, asshole dwarf, what's more is there to say ? ^^

 

[KrossBillNye]

I play TF2. A lot.

My Steam Tag name is Bill Nye.

My favorite class is engineer.

So I photo shopped Bill Nye's pic with a Sentry and a hard hat for my tag in TF2. It has been there ever since then because of SCIENCE!

I recently watched the Arrancar arc on bleach and discovered Coyotte Starkk who, as part of his character, had been lonely. Other than the fact I thought he was an interesting character, I recently moved to Nepal and have found it difficult to get to know people here. So, I suppose I see myself in him a little

 

[Rikkano]

Well I were introduced to warhammer at a young age (10 or so) and the Skavens immediately struck my fancy.

My avatar is just a photo i found of a skaven engineer, which I found pretty fitting to be an avatar.

 

[hazabaza1]

Because for fuck's sake it's Stephen Fry.
You gots to love the Fry.

 

[Yopaz]

I bought Banjo Kazooie on XBLA, I got an avatar when I accomplished something and I chose to use it as my avatar. then I decided after going 3 years without an avatar on my escapist profile that I would sync my avatar with my XBLA avatar rather than finding something that fit. Also I like Banjo.

I guess the story behind summed up in one sentence is: I like Banjo and I'm lazy.
