What's your avatar about

[Rooster893]

Mine is Sektor from Mortal Kombat. Why? Cause he's a badass red robot ninja. That's why.

Sektor's always been my favorite MK character. I like his new look in MK9, but his character design from MK3 will always be my favorite. Hence the avatar.

My user name is Bloated Guppy. You envision some kind of swollen, puffed out Guppy, right? Well good luck finding pictures of that. So I used a picture of this jolly Puffer fish instead. "But that is a Puffer fish and not a Guppy!" some have exclaimed. Yes. Yes, I know.

...my perception of everything I thought I ever knew has been shattered.

I thought your avatar was an onion!!! You're telling me I've been living a lie my entire life!?!?!

Mine is a classic woodland nymph, common in ancient Greek or Latin mythology.

It's a drawing I made a few years ago. It is based on the magic circle definition in Homo Ludens, one of the first books written about play and games.

 

[TheYellowCellPhone]

Uh.

Hmm.

It's a cell phone.

That's yellow.

Like my username.

 

[IvoryTriforce]

It's a triforce made of ivory. I chose ivory because I play video game music on the piano, primarily Zelda music (also explains my name).

Mine was originally to imply exactly what you would think it implies. As time has gone on I've found that this picture represents me better than I had initially thought and not in a metaphorical sense either; I show very little emotion in my facial expression and in my voice (not because of my disposition or anything, it's just that nothing shows). I didn't even notice this until recently when my friend told me that I was often like a robot, every word coming out without any discernible accent, at a swift pace, never tripping on words and with a flat delivery, never raising or lowering in tone. I was surprised by this and proceeded to ask everyone else I know; they all told me it was true. Then again so many women have told me that my voice is hot that this revelation is hardly a problem.

It's a stoat in winter fur carrying a dead rodent that propably weighs more than it does. Stoats would be the scariests predators around if they weren't, you know, tiny.

No I don't own the copyright of that picture. It would be frickin' hard to get a good snap of those critters, even if I know there are some close by.

 

[Padwolf]

Mine is Hades from Hercules going into a rage. I saw it one day and thought it was hilarious. My original one was a picture of Rinoa from FF8. However someone else took it so I had to change It felt weird and I often thought I was reading my own posts and it confused me because I thought "Wait a second, I didn't right that! This is an imposter!"

 

[Bertylicious]

It's Roast Beef from http://www.achewood.com/.

Not Ray, not Pat, it's Roast Beef, the middle cat.

 

[Barbas]

It is a tribute to a very special friend I only had the pleasure of knowing for a short time. He was an indispensable travelling companion and a delightful conversationalist. From the moment our paths crossed until our parting, he improved the quality of my life.

 

[Joos]

I like hats. And insulting people.

Awaaaay with you, beggar.

 

[Blaster]

Well, if you know who Soundwave is from Transformers, Blaster is the Autobots version of him. Actually got the idea when I saw the Escapist User Soundwave-just figured no one claimed the ID of Blaster yet.

 

[AgentLampshade]

Vergil from DMC3. I made it meself. Such a badass scene.

 

[Not Matt]

I made is especially for he escapist. I wanted to use my own face on the site but then i learned that using that as an avatar is kind of frowned upon. so went to the store, bought 3 red bull cans and some gum and sat down in front of MS paint. And later that night, the image you now see to the left of this text had appeared.
It is my self portrait. i must admit. it needs some modification to match the hair, beard and teeth (strangely enough) I am currently rocking. but it still looks pretty cool.

 

[Qvar]

Kyle Hyde from the NDS game Hotel Dusk (and the sequel Last Window). Because he's like me: Moody, sparse on words and classy, but with a good heart.

 

[Garnet]

I'm Garnet Til Alexandros XVII.

 

[Pinkros]

Mine is the mad chestnut scientist (aka chestnutist) from Amanita design's wonderful game Botanicula. Because he is awesome. *hehehehe*

 

[Sarah Kerrigan]

Well. It's Trevor Phillips from Grand Theft Auto V. In a flower crown. Because why the fuck not?

 

[Zombie_Fish]

I refer to it as the 'Awesome Spy'. I made it about three years ago while messing around in GIMP, and I liked it so much that I set it as my avatar.
