Mine is of the guy from Haze, because I actually liked that game.

I just inverted the colours.

Karkat. Homestuck. Angry dude like me.

You are new here so it is cool but like a bunch of people have said, so done is this topic it has kicked every bucket in the room, fallen out the door and then realised said room was balanced on a big pile of buckets. Each and every one of which it kicked on the way down.

And then the planet was made out of buckets. Which were all then kicked.

If you have read Homestuck you will realise everything I have just said is some kind of weird alien guro or something.

I'd just begun my senior year of high school at the time, and recieved the nickname 'Grin' due to my compulsive smiling.

... and 8-bit artwork is cool.

My avatar just annoys the crap out of people, I chose it to trick people and to get attention. So lonely..

First I have to talk about Order of the Stick. Its a 3.5 D&D webcomic that is very well done. Its not just some verbose garbage cobbled together with some pictures. Its done by a guy who is a real deal creative writer and skilled adventure writer.

All of the stock avatars are done in the style of the webcomic, which is a simple one to mimic. Therefore, the convention on the OOTS forums is to take a character you like, from anywhere, and draw them in OOTS style. My avatar on those forums is "The Monarch." I also did a basic monarch henchman, 2 of William Murderface, and started on an Awesome-X.

I also made one of Bruff from a show here on the escapist called Doraleous and Associates. Eventually I broke down and registered on the forums here, so it was a no brainer to use OOTS Bruff as my avatar. I made them with inkscape.

My avatar is Batman fighting a shark with a lightsabre.

No, it doesn't make any sense. And no, it couldn't be any more awesome.

My Avatar is Karkat Vantas, though I will probably change it to Gamzee.
They're characters from HomeStuck. According to my friends (the few that read HS) i act like Karkat but look like Gamzee. So I chose it as my avatar.

My avatar is /-|-\ because nothing else is quite so godly.

If you recognize the symbol, you'll also recognize why.

It is an eye with some green stuff in it... Inspired by my deep and extremely romantic relationship with C&C Tiberium Sun...

Welcome to the Escapist! Nice avatar.

I don't really know what my avatar is. I use it because it scares people.
Out of curiosity, is it from one of Cyriak's videos?
Nice catch. I figured most people don't know who Cyriak Harris is.

It looks Lovecraftian. Ever played Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth? The later levels feature boss monsters (or sub bosses) known as Polyps (for the love of god, don't google 'Polyp' alone. I can feel the mental scars forming)



The Polyps in Dark Corners acted independently though, and never spun around themselves like what I see in your avatar.
It's not Lovecraftian, it's... it's...

Oh God, just watch this. <youtube=dZfmPREbTd8>

It probably wasn't made with Lovecraft in mind, it probably had more to do with being on drugs.
