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.

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.

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.

It's an ugly cartoon unicorn vomiting rainbows and farting butterflies. I made it a while ago just because I thought it would be funny, my previous one was an octopus in a top hat. My animation skills aren't amazing, but it gets the job done. Here's the original full-size version is the compression makes it unclear.

It means that I'm an elite member of a secret organization that has tricked the world into believing it's just from a popular video game.

Mine is a clip from the movie Kung Fu Hustle when the old masters are running away

I just thought it looked weird enough to be a gif. (for some reason my avatars stopped animating though)

My is a gif of Mareep Warp Mega Evolving into Mega Ampharos. Wish I could find a Torchic version of it though.

I just recently changed my avatar to Komugi from Hunter X Hunter, I just think she's a really good character, she's funny, lovable and adorable due to her design and personality.

I tend to change it a lot but usually just use characters I like from anime or games.
Right now it's Hakumen from Blazblue who is one of my favourite characters, I recently got hyped up for Blazblue Chronophantasma so im using him right now.
