The big question is, how much does an avatar represent the real you, or how you would like to be seen online?

 

Some folks use an avatar to describe their interests.  Other folks use an avatar to describe themselves.  Still others use avatars to represent the whim of the moment.  Folks come to think of the avatar when they think of the person, and the person when they think of or see the avatar.  A lot of times, however, the picture in the avatar doesn't represent how folks think of the person.  Oerwind would be an excpetion, since he's so thoroughly focused on... dammit... you know, the robot cartoon.  Anyhow, he's an exception that proves the rule.

 

Mine is a miniature head-shot of an artist's rendering of the character Shadowstrider.

Nice, SS. I like the character. Kind of makes you kind of look like an assassin, though.

I only change avatars when I find one that better represents my personna. So far, the WAR pit fiend works.

There are no doors in Jefferson that are "special game locked" doors. There are no characters in that game that you can kill that will result in the game ending prematurely.

Wow, I didn't expect 9 pages overnight.

 

Anyway I don't have my original avatar anymore - it was from a cover of Sandman. My current one's cropped from the following picture. Source is on the pic. It turns out better on the larger MSN avatar size.

Yep yep, that's the one. It looked like a mushroom-boy to me. :wub:

 

Eureka!! Found a pic, but not the pic:

Blasphemy! This is Black Mage, chaotic minion of destruction! All know and fear him!

 

P.S. Hes from the webcomic 8-Bit Theater

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

Yeah, I had a brief period of love for all things destructive. Black mage is the avatar of pointy sharp things, so he was a great avatar choice.

 

 

Editto: Now it's back to Steam Driver again.

It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai.
