where did your avatar come from and why did you want it?

[Altorin]

Mine is cropped off the left side of the Zelda: Twilight Princess, I thought it looked pretty cool, thinking of changing it to somethinghumerous though.

BTW if anyone knows how to make a video clip (avi, wma etc) into a moving avatar, please PM me

you need to somehow convert it to a .gif file that's the exact dimensions of the avatar.

an animated gif avatar that must be resized will not animate, that's all I know about it.

Mine is my own work from a long gone website I was running. I just made a character into a silhouette. He's actually supposed to be a big shot mobster, but immature and really campy (an American born Chinese guy with a fake accent, for example). I had another one I could have used, but decided against it, since this guy's got a better profile for what I did with it.

 

[Reklore]

I made my one.

Mine was made for me by a member of another video game board. I use it on nearly every forum I'm a member of, whether it's dealing with video games or not. It's obvious who it is, but I actually think it was made from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, not the Prime games.

Took a picture of Richard Nixon, used MSPAINT and Photoshop to turn him into a zombie. It's zombie Nixon. My question is why would you not want it?

I chose this because I thought I should have a picture and I play a medic about 50% of the time on TF2 (and I also have this achievement).

One day, i was ambling through the internet and found a comic about the creepiest cat alive. I nearly shat myself laughing, and joined the Kreepy Kat army, and took the avatar from there.

Basically there's an anime series about dolls that serve some guy (I haven't seen it, I just know about it). One of these dolls ends her sentences with "desu" because it's some Japanese term (I don't know Japanese, but it's supposedly polite). 4chan took this and made it into a meme.

Desu basically means 'is', 'am', 'are' based on context. It's always put at the end of a sentence when used. From youtubing it I have absolutely no idea why the character puts it at the end of every sentence, but it annoyed the hell out of me because all the vidoes just have her saying it over and over.

The Sniper in TF2 because he is british

He... is Australian...?

Obviously I love Peanuts and this is just a strip I thought could be used in some way. The writing says "If you really liked me, you'd say something nice to me". It's actually an inside joke about how I'm perceived on this site.

Mine is Captain Obvious. He is a Captain. Enough said.

 

[bokni]

Hot Fuzz is awesome and it just sticked over time tbh.

 

[GloatingSwine]

It's from Macross Frontier.

Because Macross Frontier is fucking awesome.

Mine, is the infamous Little Rocket Man achievement picture off Half-Life 2. The day before I got it, I'd spent about twelve hours carrying that little gnome in the back of the car.

Anyway, I got the achievement and was quite proud of it.

well i just got myself a new laptop so i dont rly have any pics not to mention anything worth of being an avatar.
Originaly i looked around the gallery of warcraft images but nothing got my attention so i did a quick browse around google and got this funny avatar of frustrated Zoro from One Piece.
I just didnt want to be witheout an avatar feels like im a ghost.

When I got started with World of WarCraft again back in late '08, I rekindled my affections for my NElf Hunter, damn great character. Remade a smiley to match for the lulz, and I think it worked out pretty well.
