The Explain Your Avatar Thread

[BreakGuy]

What about yours?

Mine is that of Detective Cole Phelps from the video game LA Noire.

I pull random stuff from the internet or I draw it myself.

Your avatar currently looks like it badly needs a pee.

 

[OllyW]

Mine is a stage prop used by my band.

You can see it at the back of the stage in the video...

Your avatar currently looks like it badly needs a pee.

Because people do one had press ups when they have the need.

I love aircraft and airshows and photography.

The guy in the invisible cloak.

 

[MonkeySee....]

Mine is the man we all want to be

 

[stridemat]

Mine's self explanatory..

I created mine back when I could qualify for an Avatar. It may temporarily change every now and again, but I always come back to it.

For posterity's sake...

The guy in the invisible cloak.

You're not far off, I'm the keyboard player hidden behind the bass player. You can catch the occasional glimpse of my bald head bobbing in the shadows.

Mine is from some video game that almost no one has ever heard about

I make video games as a hobby so the avatar was fitting

That was a great Mario, but I prefer Dr. Mario and Mario Kart. My brothers and I still get together for Dr. Mario marathons after all these years.

Explain to us the story behind your avatar. I know a lot of people here rarely change their avatar and this must be a reason for keeping it for so long.

The character in my avatar represents, in somewhat obscure fashion, the type of women to which I find myself attracted: loud, love-hungry, and large.

I've been thinking of trying a new 'tar, though. In keeping with the above reasoning and avatar style, I've been considering Duchess La Grande, from Cinderella 2. Or maybe a detail from a Derrick Fish illustration.

I'm open to suggestions along this line. I'm staying away from using real-life people, though; it would be way too easy to use a head shot of Melissa McCarthy or Lindsay Hollister and call it a day. Although an anigif of former Las Vegas judge Elizabeth Halverson might work...

 

[Shrink]

I especially like movies from the 30's and 40's.

Frankenstein (1931) is a classic.

Also... I, too, have a bolt in my neck.

 

[ixodes]

Avatar? What Avatar?

 

[N10248]

Mine is because I like Sega stuff...

Made mine from this...

tried to use this one originally but it didn't come out as good...

 

[Macman45]

err....I'm a musician..

The University i'm attending.

You don't?!

(actually now that I've stared at it I can't figure out what I'm looking at anymore)

 

[h1r0ll3r]

I'm a patient man. Too patient at times.

 

[Hastings101]

I love the Banjo Kazooie series. We need more quirky platformer games these days.

Also, every time I see one of those avatars with the little bug moving around in circles I always think it's actually there lol

 

[tktaylor1]

I saw the picture and thought it was funny. And my favorite animal is a penguin.

 

[Mr. McMac]

I have no idea what mine means. It's an animated gif though. Why isn't it animating?

 

[tktaylor1]

The pic as my avatar is Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, the discoverer of X-Rays.

Are you a radiologist, or a rad tech? I would love to be a radiologist. Only if I didn't have to go through med school.

 

[Firestar]

It's from a book series I was obsessed with when I registered, Warriors. It's a cartoon illustration of the main character of the first series, Firestar (also my username).
