Where did you get your avatar?

[Gitsnik]

I typed in "Avatars" on Google, and then went in various gaming sections...what a boring story.

It looks like a scout from 40k avatars? Do you remember?

Anyway I made mine in the GIMP. Plan is to keep adding to it over the year with all the major holidays, see how cluttered it is when I get to christmas again (and restamp it with holly maybe?)

Google search for 2D. Plain and simple.

Google.

Fanboy. I love you, you spice up avaters for everyone.. Yet you only have 10ish people.


You all are terrible at thanking someone.

I originally had a stock blue-and-white wheelchair symbol acquired through a quick Google search, but Fanboy spruced mine up about... half an hour ago? Regardless- rock on, Fanboy!

Originally I just drew him, because I like Frogs, but I felt like it was missing something.

The Iron Ninja and Anarchemitis offered to help - so depending on which one you're looking at (I like to switch between them) that's where my Frog came from. Thanks guys!

I had mine in my Photobucket gallery. Since I love music and rainbow hearts, this was right up my alley!

i just took a photo...




not really...




just found it on the internet and thought it was funny...

Self made in GIMP. Always loved that picture of Ranma. It's become my avatar numerous places.

 

[SmugFrog]

IT'S ME.

Dude that's you!

My Godfather took the photo, I cropped and edited in the text and border.

I love the final fantasy movie Advent Children and Tifa is just the best female character in my opinion, so I picked her!

Capped the image using FRAPS from the first Halo: Recon promotion trailer, becuase the new logo looks like shit and I couldn't find the old one on google image search.

The escapist provided it. I am honor bound to say it arrived on a silver-platter borne by angels, but i really just clicked on it out of a selection them.

I don't think anyone will ever be able to use that avatar other than you. It has too much...Ultra.

I got my Avatar. from *shudder* Encyclopedia dramatica. http://encyclopediadramatica.com/360_kid

The great thing about destroying Metal Gear isn't saving the world from a nuclear holocaust, it's showing everyone online that I did.

i'm not half terrible at BF2142, so i took the pic for a sergeant.
i think i got up to colonel gold rank since then, though. oh well, this looks more... modest.

I'd like to think so, but really i'd rather be recognised for my words than my Ultrahelm, devilishly sexy though it may be. Or both, but you can't have your cake and eat it to... especially with a helmet on.

I have some other 'Custom' Ultrahelms, like the Evilhelm and some christmas related ones by the good foklks at the Holiday council, but i don't think i will ever be able to take it off... decorate though as i may.

There are a few users like that, who simply cannot change their avatar or else my mind implodes with the strange and terrible new world i am forced into, cold and naked. Mods and staff mostly, purple rain and others who have had their avatar for so long it is now, to the core... them. In fact, most users are like that.

Nobody change avatars. It scares me and i don't know who you are.
