where does your avatar come from?

[Don Vito Corleone]

I'll start this thread by explaining my avatar history and why I chose this avatar recently.

my very first avatar was the illuminati diamond from dan brown. however, I changed that when the current avatar rules became active because it was oversized. I changed to Mr Smith from the matrix. then, a few months before the new year, I wanted to create a Star Wars style Batman logo, but I didn't think it worked out that well.

then, right after i returned from holiday, I got the most wondruous news from my brother. his girlfriend was pregnant and they would have a baby in September of this year. I had to keep quiet for a time because they needed to take care of some things before they could break the news to other people. they recently started spreading the news, and as a part of this, I changed my avatar to one of the most famous television uncles in Belgium: Nonkel Bob (Uncle Bob), to celebrate that i'll be an uncle before the year ends.

so, what's the story behind your avatar?

My avatar got tired of every day regular normal life and went to spaaaceee

He is currently on board of some battlecruiser far, far away. He sends his regards.

In all seriousness tho, im happy for ur bro.

The evil, serial killing psychopath from Monster, Johan Liebert.

There's not really much of a story behind it. I just find his psyche fascinating.

Not much of a story behind mine, I just found it on DeviantArt and thought it was cute :3

Posters without sigs and avatars I think aren't taken as seriously. So after my 5th post or so I Googled "Dwarf Warrior"

I swear I'll get a personal one eventually.

I found mine on a avatar dump site years ago.

I don't really know why I became so enamored with moogles, but I did. In FF9, they're really blunt and honest. In FF12, they're more of an entire race, instead of a few random ones hanging out in places. And they're engineers, as well as Montblanc leading the Hunt Club.

Not really sure what anime mine came form but she looks like a smug asshole which I am most of the time.

I change my avatars every couple of weeks depending on my current mental state (which is never stable for long). The current one is a cool Deviant art i found recently, it reminded me how much i like this band.

My most recent one is from an image I found on deviantart when searching for "elements". Liked the look of what he had, changed a few colors on a couple of them, and put them in a circle pattern as the "logo" for my homebrew Pathfinder campaign. Same with my sig, only put in a line so they could be used as a sig here.

From left to right, it goes Fire, Water, Air, Earth, Life, Death, Light, Shadow. It's the elements for my campaign world (instead of the typical fire, water, earth, air).

[Blood fox]

Mine came form one of the best TV shows! Daria.

the avatars I make people are just snippets of sigs.

[apepi]

Mine comes from Michigan J. Frog, then I saw the Murloc that looked like him and I saw the new deathwing murloc and thought "I wonder what he would look like if he had a top hat.....So I did a horrible photoshop and this is what came out of it.

[Razecog]

Found mine on 4chan. ._.'

[Kuthe]

Riddle me this Batman.

[Ryngo Blackratchet]

Vossler from FFXII in game art. It's not the most original thing in the world but I absolutely loved the character and the art style from the game so here we are. As for the picture in the sig... no explanation needed, eh?

[Elystialol]

Alona (MVP) from the WoW forums drew this picture of my blood elf mage. I thought it was beautiful.

Shana from shakugan no shana anime. Probably my favorite anime

It is suppose to be a gif:

Shion from Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
This part in particular; note it is rather violent.
