Title: What's your avatar from?
Post by: Stephen_Zuckerman on October 11, 2006, 10:45:00 AM
So, I saw L's av, and the question came up again: What is it? Looks like a Van Gogh painting, but I'm not sure which one.

So where're your avs from? Myself... Well, it's a picture of my eye, taken with my webcam. *Chuckles.*

Mine is a logo I designed in 2003 that I've recently enhanced. Its become a bit of my own personal 'icon' that I use to represent myself and my gaming alterego ShadoWolf (sometimes with an extra e).

The logo itself was originally designed in Illustrator and then taken to the next degree in Photoshop. I had lost the logo itself for nearly 2 years, and found it recently because I refused to admit to myself that I lost it. Searching through 700+ burned CDs in an archive for a file that you don't recall the name to is . . . daunting.

But now, I have a rewarding logo that is all me baby!

Mine is a picture of a Kung Fu Hamster my man brought me one Christmas
  You press it's paw and it sings "Kung fu fighting" while twirling it's nunchucks and kinda moving about.
  Don't ask me why....But I love it....Although I'm told it singing at 6am is a bad thing *shrugs* Go figure!

Mine is a fully transparent pane of glass. No real siginificance to it, I just like the way it looks.

Oh, just me.  Webcam shot.  Angling down so as to hide my double chin ;).

Hey, I do the same thing, Honora. ;) There's also no stable place to put my webcam except atop my 20-inch screen.

As I recall, my old av was just another webcam shot of yours truly.

Mines fairly obvious.....it's Sallaron.

If you wanted to know Steve.....Leanthars is a classic picture of the Heroes of the Lance from the DragonLance tales.

Edited: Bah....missed DBlazes reply. There goes my moment of intellectual superiority.....again.

I had a picture of one of then top ten worst mascots in america, but I couldn't load it for some reason, so I settled for this.
From the Dungneons and Dragons official website portraits link.

Mine is a penguin, slapping another penguin and knocking him off his feet and into the ice. No, I do not have a strange obsession with penguins.

mine is a panda making a stabbing motion with a bloody knife (subtle)
it IS NOT a panda cutting itself, as SOMEONE (not naming any names) has allready suggested.
i can't remember where it's from, or who made it, well; whoever they are: thanks.
i might change it oneday for a different picture, oneday, oneday.

In my case, it's a Clanger, of course!  What's a Clanger? Well, they are a race of small, friendly, good natured creatures who live on a small moon, with help from the Soup Dragon, and occasional visits from the Iron Chicken. They were my first intoroduction to the World of SF at a very tender age. I perhaps should have used Noggin the Nog (my first exposure to Fantasy), but hey, I LIKE Clangers More on Clangers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clangers)  
 
 
  Why are you looking at me like that?

Simple black background with a red Debian (http://www.debian.org) swirl and then "OneST8" printed in binary to top it all off.

 *backs up avoiding eye contact*  Mine is a viking-esque warrior I pulled off the internet somewhere that looked tough, imposing and intimidating yet cute and endearing at the same time.  PS. It's funny cos of the irony!

Spiderman's arch-nemesis, the Green Goblin.  Reminds me of Rakish's red fog incident.

Mine is a picture of a baby dragon that  found on the internet and changed to look as if it was drawn on a parchement.
I made it a few months after I first got here.

All this Avatar talk inspired me to get one.  Mine is a picture of my wife's family dog, Sampson.

Or would have been if the file weren't too large.  In the meantime I am copying Dorg.
