The Official Avatar Thread :)

Who can guess where mine is from...

Okay, no prizes.



I actually haven't had this one the whole time. I started life as a 6502 with something ever so slightly different...

I've used this image from Eraserhead since post #500. Not only is it one of my favorite films of all time (I went to see it on my very first date in 1981), but it also fits nicely with my screen name.

My women-of-gaming avatars

Primarily one of these three. I've occationally changed to others for a brief moment, but I'm not going to bother posting those.

First, from left, was the first one I used after my 500th post. Changed it a bit later to no. 2 for reasons I don't remember now. Both are the same character from the same (fairly known) game.

Not too long ago (couple a months or so?) I changed to no. 3 which is what I'm using now. Also character from a game, although one I created myself (character that is, not game ). I very much liked my creation so I figured I'd use it as my MR tar. The rest of the character (neck and below) is rather interesting too...

#4 is the Halloween version I made and used for a short time, and #5 is the Xmas version. Thanks to Lacero for the hat!

I'll join the thread.

I've only had one avatar since i reached 500 posts here. It was around the time i was working on the Folding Widget (still looking for people to take over the project btw ).

The second one is a version of my tar without delays between animation.

I have had this avatar since I could have one... It is in tribute to the 12 years in the making Guns N' Roses 'Chinese Democracy' album, which at this point, will probably never come out. I had been making a series of 'gel' icons in Fireworks at the time, and just dropped in the Chinese Democracy soldier graphic.

I'm not going to change it... you know, 'brand awareness' and all.

My current one is just the HD logo right off the Quicktime site, nothing too fancy. I had illusions of grandeur when I could finally use an avatar, and it happened while I was at work, so I pretty much got stuck with this.

Should be something more exciting down the line, as soon as I can muster together the free time (and patience) to make myself something snazzy.

In the meantime, enjoy my HD...

Christmas 2005

I believe in Santa Claus!

No better time to celebrate online than with a new avatar!



edit: added another holiday avatar, this one of me wearing a New Year's tiara and sparkly diamond stickers on my cheek!

Here's a santa hat should you want to dress up your avatar.

Consider this a place-holder for my future posting of the myriad of avatars I've adorned my handle with.

EDIT: I think I'll stick to the abbreviated list..

 

[emw]

I experimented earlier with a couple of tars (see below), but have stuck with variations of my current 'tar for the most part since last year. I hate to make monumental changes to my 'tar simply because it tends to disrupt people's ability to recognize and subsequently ignore my posts.

Some of the notable variations:

I'm not to hot with photoshop, but how do these look? I think I prefer the second. Thanks Lacero : )

Thanks for sharing the Kris Kringle Hat It just might brighten up my Holiday cheer.

Might try to incorporate it into my Avatar.

Thanks, but I've had mine on for quite a while already...

 

[Jaffa Cake]

Thanks – it's barely noticeable on my 'tar, but it's the thought that counts!

 

[amacgenius]

I like my current one, I made a bunch of 'tars the other day cuz I was bored (view them here) but I took the santa hat and added it to the Panther, idk if I should make it my 'tar or not, I'm undecided yet.

I've used a few other 'tars:

No avitar privilages yet. only 150 more posts to go. seeing that I do alot of animation it will probably on the lines of the image supplied below but animated. I have quite a detest for the Disney Co. Ironically I have found myself employed by them

Nice to hear you don't compromise your values and that you practice what you preach.

Seriously, nice drawing - animation must be a fun thing to work on. Have patience, continue to participate here, and you'll have a 'tar in no time!

Well I dont work for them directly. Disney is the parent Co. for ESPN. I would tell them to go f*** themselves but they keep sending me a check every two weeks

Understood - hopefully my emoticons above showed you I was just joking around.

Working at ESPN would definitely be cool though - I imagine you enjoy your job.

 

[vniow]

I don't know where all my other one's went (I'm not one to keep an archive of them) but my current one I grabbed from the link in this thread.

Job is okay and no insult taken

My normal avitar and my santa hat avitar.

I decided on a South Park styled avatar... with a couple of enhancements


I've mostly used this one... although it was merged with a Keira 'tar for a little while, then a couple of Little Britain characters.

I added a Santa hat to my avatar earlier... and then decided to create a little Santa outfit
