Mine is taken from a larger image that I drew and coloured. It's an anthropomorphic fox representation of myself and a character I like to identify as sometimes.

Prince of Persia.

Why? Eyecandy, really. I would have gone with Jake Gyllenhaal's version but I didn't want to get mesmerised for minutes every time I posted.

My avatar is just some concept art for a particularly tough enemy from Cryostasis: Sleep of Reason, because despite it's flaws I find that game strangely endearing.

They were quite the nasty sons of bitches.

One of my first photoshop creation.

Many more followed, but this one will always remind me of how challenging that program use to be.

Hmm I wonder if anyone can guess what mine is. He is from a popular and controversial game. He is a boss and one of the 4 knights of The Lord of Sunlight.

Here he watches over Anor Londo.

Well, mine is Moxxi from Border Lands. I changed it from Milla Jovovich to this for 3 reasons.
1) I think Moxxi is extremely attractive (she's a cell shaded video game character who murders people SHUT UP BRAIN!!!)
2) Her SMG's and Shotgun are my favorite guns in the game so far.
3) TOP HATS!!!!!!!!!!!

It's the cover of Beyond Creation's debut (and thus far only) album The Aura. I have a thing where I like to pick an album cover as an avatar for each month and this particular one has become something of an obsession for me. I like to tout this band quite a bit in music threads and the airtight drumwork, the complex, melodic and memorable flowing riffs that just keep coming and the beautiful work on the fretless bass that really gets to shine in this clear production keeps me coming back to this album again and again for another listen. It's really become one of my favourites, just a fabulous piece of Progressive Death Metal. Plus I just think it's a really cool album cover; I've got something of a predilection for really detailed artwork and the way the alien towers and the logo lean inward to the gaping ominous maw of that demonic apparition at the centerpiece works really nicely. Much like their music, it has perfect composition. ;3

Mine's Bernard Black from Black Books, played by Dylan Moran.
It's from the episode in which he gets locked out of his house and gets a job in a fast food place to get out of the rain. I just love his expression.

Well, first and foremost, I adore tonberrys. I have a plushie of one! Thus, when I asked the wonderful gif-smith [user]Caramel Frappe[/user] to make a gif avatared version of one for an RP I was in; he delivered; and beautifully~!

I eventually found the source video,
I haven't played FF 13, but I can happily say that they got the little guys just right. :)

Ever since I joined up with this place, I've kept the face of Koro as my avatar. Not someone the rest of you would know about, I'm sure. I'm very interested in videogame design, and he's one of my characters.
I can't imagine what someone from the future might be thinking as they read this.

Helel from the Shin Megami Tensei series. This particular variation is from Persona 4.
I guess i use it because it's my favourite JRPG series.

since so many ppl have complimented me on my avatar:

it's from the intro of an anime called tenjou tenge. please listen to audio for some of the best engrish you are likely to hear this week
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tenjho_Tenge

i wouldn't exactly call it a great piece of anime but if you are a fan of overpowered super martial artists in a high school setting with a ton of pantsu and innuendo then check it out
