Title: Where did you get your avatar from?
Post by: PixelDolly on January 19, 2012, 07:41:27 pm
Just a self-explanatory thread.

My avatar was made in tektek.org's Gaia Dream Avatar maker.

She's supposed to represent a character from a story I'm writing.

I've had this avatar for awhile now. I think it's from a creator that someone posted on the old forum, and I decided to stick with it.

For those unfamiliar with the comics, mine is Rogue from the X-Men. Cropped it from a scene where she absorbs a bunch of different powers & proceeds to engage in a kick-ass battle. I don't plan on changing it any time soon -- I've been using it since mid-to-late 2010, so I've grown rather attached to it.

Mine is from some fanart I found of Lucca from Chrono Trigger. I cropped it, resized it, and added the border. I do change my avatar fairly often (at least in comparison with most people here), but I don't have any clue what I'd replace it with so Lucca stays for now.

It's a close-up of the wire in a welder operating in spray transfer mode (a fancy way of saying that the wire melts before it actually touches the steel). In reality, the wire at the top is only about 1mm in diameter.

I came across it when I was looking up some technical information for work so I re-hosted it and have been using it ever since.

Post by: Eniliad on January 20, 2012, 09:25:54 pm
The story of finding the pic itself is boring. Google Image Search for "phoenix". The story is a bit cooler, if you're a nerd like me.

See, Eniliad comes from my first D&D character, Eniliad Dragonsbane. The last name makes sense in context but I won't bore you with the backstory. We were doing a hybrid Pathfinder with some homebrew options. We were doing the closest we could to an Epic campaign at this point, and I chose to multiclass (Ranger 20 / Druid 5 by completion). As it was Epic levels, I got some custom options for summoning, as well as a fast-track to high level spells for the class (in order to not make leveling up a waste). Some asshole necromancer with delusions of grandeur opened portals to shadow dimensions (basically Hell gates for the uninitiated). He couldn't control the Level 20+ summons and got his ass floored almost instantly, and before anyone knew it, half the kingdom had been overthrown.

Well, we Epic-level adventurers sure as hell weren't about to let that go down, so we tried to find ways to slow down or stop the minions of hell from taking over the world (yikes, don't let fundies read this post...) but ultimately failed. In fact, things failed so catastrophically that soon we had a Minas Tirith situation outside the capital of the last city not to fall to them, only without Aragorn, the dead army, or the Rohirrim. In a word, we were basically fucked. The party discovered a path to the sea that we could use to escape the continent and eventually safety. Only problem was, we'd have to abandon a citadel of about 10,000 innocent people to the slaughter.

So instead, we let them get onto the ship, and we decided to stall the invading army long enough to get the civilians out of bombardment range. As the last ship set sail, we turned to face the stampeding horde of demons, daemons, devils and evil shit as far as the eye could see. Eniliad, badass mofo that he is, used his Epic Summon to call a host of mounts for the party, including for himself a Phoenix (again, custom shit homebrewed in).

And so, Eniliad Dragonsbane died charging the very legions of darkness with a screeching phoenix, screaming battle cries the entire way until we were finally overwhelmed. And that, ladies and gents, is how you die with honor in D&D. 8)

I found mine in Google image search and then modified it slightly.  It's, as most probably know, the Karstark's sigil from Game of Thrones/Song of Ice and Fire; which was my first "role" on the show.

My avatar is in-game poster art of Iosa the Invincible, a boss character from the indie game Iji.  The top is her in her Annihilator exoskeleton armor, and the bottom is her actual body outside the armor.  My sig is her attack animations out of her armor.

Used an icon that was cropped from a picture on Danbooru. Same place where I get all my icons.

Cropped from a refsheet I had done of my character (I will not call it a fursona, but... yeah). Funny thing, I didn't ask for the seductive expression, the artist just did that.. not that I'm complaining.

I was looking for something that was military themed and with cats on Google image search, and I found this image on icanhascheezburger.com.

Considering I've changed it for the month of October, the source is in my signature. Or here (http://karzahnii.deviantart.com/).

(This is the second time I've used this avatar.)

He kinda reminds me of Naoto.

This is a good thing.

His name is Shinobu, he investigates illusions/the paranormal while simultaneously managing an antique store owned by his stoic father. Most of the coolest parts of his character aren't revealed until the end of the story though.

Eww....

Mine was an incredibly adorable jumping spider wearing a dewdrop as a hat. Sorry, anyone who suffers arachnophobia for the torment.

Now, Yotsuba, for the fourth (or fifth, I reused one avatar) time, this being the fourth variation of this character as my avatar.

The 1990 (and 1991) Japanese Moomins cartoon. Having also watched the same story in the 1980 Polish stop-motion cartoon, The Lady of the Cold's design in the 1990 cartoon is radically different.

This is the avatar I've been using every December until Christmas since my first year here (2012).

Mine is the symbol of Socialist International.  I like what they stand for, and I've always found it to be a beautiful image, if a bit poorly-drawn.
