How did you pick your avatar?

[geohound13]

I picked a drow cuz drow are the most kickass race in D&D ever!

I think old school kender are the most kick ass race. Legend Lore Bonus, agility bonus, thieving bonus, and immunity to fear.

there not in 3.5, so drow have the spot

Because my avatar represents a happy retarded animal.

Ps.
Its SUPPOSED to be an animation of it running, not standing still. But for some reason my avatar won't animate, why? how do you get your avatar to animate?

Are you sure you saved it as an animation, GIMP asks if you want to save as an animation

I was a very poor weeaboo back then. And I couldn't be bothered changing it.

It's a Thor's Hammer design that I liked.

I was going to use a VG Cats avatar on Steam, but it wouldn't work when I joined the Escapist, it hit me that I could use this image.

But someone else was using it.

Just liked the look of it. Inverted the colors though.

It kind of looks like the logo for the bad guys in Haze.

Yep, that's where I got it from.

Haze is a guilty pleasure of mine.

for all who don't know the Beatles or the godly album I present to you, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band. Lets give them a hand!

i don't even remember where i found the pic i use for my avatar, i thought it was neat in a darker version of alice in wonderland way, if i ever find the pic again, i'll likely give credit to the artist, and find if i could buy an actual print. but mainly i wanted something for my avatar that nobody else was using, some of my other choices were too big, so i searched through my internet explorer temporary file section, found it and used it.

my other choice was a sign that read "i battle r.o.u.s.es"

 

[Malyc]

um... because its an evil demon penguin?

 

[jjofearth]

Um...huh. So...yeah. Hmm.

This was originally just a still photo of Benjamin Disraeli, since nobody knew who I was when I joined this site. It's been altered for various holidays, but this one was done by Shapsters, after I asked him to take the waving Canada flag he had on his avatar and adapt it for mine. Been on ever since.

 

[hittite]

It's from a webcomic called Sluggy Freelance. Bun-Bun is a badass.

 

[halfeclipse]

I didn't, and thus I neener neener and make other obnoxious sounds at the forces of conformity! Or perhaps I'm just to lazy to put together an avatar that looks good at itsy bitsy size, one of the two.

GIMP is some of the software I use to create avatars, its like Photoshop, but free

There is the post from the design thread, I remember chosing that part of the video

EDIT:My longer GIF

Actually you'll notice the one you made me is different to the one I use.....Because the one you made kinda sucked.

OH right I see you sorta took it back.....BTW making it myself really made me understand how frustrating it must be for you.

 

[Quiva]

I just drew mine...

 

[zohmbee]

I...drew...mine...?

I don't know, I doodled a Gaia avatar and liked how it turned out so now I'm using it.

A contest for a drama class I wasn't even in. Each person was given single lines and had to take a facial picture that best conveyed the context of the line.
In other words: Say a Line, Make a Face that best goes with that line.

This particular one was:
