Mine is Alex Row from the anime Last Exile.

I chose it because I needed something....and I didn't really care. XD

It may suck, AND hard to see but it's something.

~T2K

Mine is the Catella/Robotnik pairing from AoStH.

Why? Because I wanted to and I was/stil sort of is watching AoStH for....research purposes. Yeah. Right. 😀

Which is more than can be said of mine.

My avatar is greatest in the world. THE NO AVATAR! Worship its greatness

Well this is an outdated avatar, but this is my character, Cari the Shadowed Spirit Sage.

Why did I choose this? Well, I made it, first off. Second, her name should explain this pretty well :3

~Shadowed Spirit Sage

I actually got it from the Sonic Classic board; Pelord was making NetNavi avatars for forumers, and I asked for one.

It's been here since 2003.

I think I got mine from the Firefox homepage. I choose it after I found out how much better FF is than IE.

Mine is the representation of my character Tergonaut, as done in sprite format by the forumer known as TME (The Master Echidna). I use it because it is small and handy as an avatar, though I'll probably update my avatar for the Eliteboard.

Last Exile is one of the best animated programs I've seen that contains a rushed ending.

Mine is Zero, from one of the cutscenes in Mega Man X4. Chose it because I'm an X-series Zero fan (as if that wasn't obvious), and because I liked the somewhat psychotic expression he has in that scene. I have another non-psychotic Zero avatar I alternate to sometimes depending on my mood, but I usually prefer this one.

It's Snorlax.

Enough said, b*tches.

I's fexus NAKED! with shoes...

Mine's a self-portrait. Has been for some time now.

To tell the truth, I used to have a bunch of pictures of my online avatar set to show randomly, but...eh...I got tired of the whole weird online identity thing. Not to diss the authors who drew said pictures for me (two have posted in this thread already ^_^;;)

Terg: hah, I have a sprite set of CaptainHogan by TME too.

It's an old character of mine. And it just about is small enough to fit the size limit with my sig =D

various poor .jpg quality tails/sonic recolours with MSPaint glows directly hotlinked from my MSN profile - 2003 - I saw that most had sonic/tails recolours of some sort as their avatars, so I made a few too.

- 2004? - I liked the way MS was glowing and had black shading on the inside in this scene so I scuttled about the net for a screenshot of it and eventually found a decent-quality one.

- 2004? - I liked the way Sonic appeared on the SCD title screen, lol

- 2004? - Mmm, Super Sonic. Ripped this scene straight from the end of Sadv2, fixed/completed one of his shoes that was cut off by the boxing and I may have recoloured him before applying the glow too. I also made an extravagent, over-the-top Hyper Sonic version of this with longer spikes and a complete rainbow glow but it's not online anymore. I did both of them with nothing but MSPaint adn Irfanview; took ages. I can't believe how patient I was back then.

- 2005 - Toot toot. I'm surprised that I went this long without an SCD-themed avatar{the one with nothing but sonic's back doesn't count >_>}

- 2005 - Mockeries of Acrio. The first one is an imitation of one of his old avatars, created purely from memory.

- 2005 - Gaz from Invader Zim; I liked the expression.

- 2005 - Green from Gunstar {Super} Heroes, or should that be Blue? I was on a Gunstar High at the time.

- 2005/6 - Craig called me Zigglina and I decided to make an avatar out of it.

- 2003/4/5? - I like Umbreon.

- 2005/6 - I think this is the most-liked avatar I've ever made. It started off as an imitation of Sadv1's intro...well, almost, anyway. Amy was absent. Due to it's popularity, I added more characters to it gradually. The next time I put it back in my avatar slot, i'll probably add another character or two again.

- 2005/6 - Most remember the spanking Pichu. I found it while digging through someone's photobucket and found it too hilarious to leave alone.

- 2006 - I like Scizor. Spotted a perfect-quality screenshot of him in D/P and made it blue. Huzzah, and such.

- 2006 - Does this even count? Well whatever I wanna put it down anyway. It was fun to make. I just make Shadow blue{and naked} to add to the joke of bringing one of my old, horrible chat alts back.

- 2006 - I was on a Castlevania: Sorrow high.

My current setup is just a Wonderbat mockery.

i think i just blew the thread open

Mine is from one of the Rayman Raving Rabbits promos from Ubisoft.
I like the insane expression of utter joy on his face. might change it when I get bored.

I do love Ashide's new Venture Brothers one though. When I saw it my soul smiled.

Usually mine is a sprite of mine, typically the one with SX and Teal (naked-)hugging each other or SX in her (beautiful) dress.

I might set one for Ez sometime. Hmm.

Mine is a pic of Reid Hershel from Tales of Eternia (though, the particular image in question is a crop of an unused hi-ougi cut-in from Tales of the Abyss.)

Chose it because avatar update season came around again, and this image got the lucky draw. That, and the fact that Reid kicks ass.

My CT is from the Clone Wars cartoon, and the little animated Yoda is from the GBA Star Wars Ep. 3 game.

Crimson drew me for me N_n

Also I've been on Street Fighter high for the past month and recently got this here Akuma avatar from some site

Mine is one chibi-fied version of Lacus Clyne from Gundam SEED, a series I used to like before it fell harder than the Star Wars prequels. But hey, it was destiny!

I've been using it since I first started posting at this fine establishment back at the start of 2005, and somehow I'm still using it even though I don't like Lacus much anymore.

I haven't changed it because:

A) I suck at making avatars, and rather than take a 3 year course on the fine point on making avatars, I think I'll just contunue to suck at making avatars than try and fix that problem.
B) Ezboard hates me, it took me forever to get one avatar to work, I'm not wasting my time trying to upload a new one. What kind of forum makes you manually enter the height and width of an avatar? Ezboard is like the Windows 95 of forums.

Cropped from a comic strip featuring Banzai Chibi-Chan that was featured in an old issue of PSM, drawn by Robert DeJesus.

"You can't resist the kitten-ness!" -ChibiBecca

Official Black Mage art from the Mario 3-on-3 basketball game cuz' I like black mages and the art was super sweet.

as i had had my old avatar ever since i joined the forum, i changed it to my current one, a soniti from PSO! ^.^

i can't remember now if i randomly found it online, or if some freind like bendilin made it. either way, it's one of the best MAGs in the game.

If you want, I can quickly hook you up with a new avatar and help you upload it. Just tell me what you want. Got plenty of time.

It suits my name!

In the past I have been known for my magikoopa based avatars, but my current avatar is Sakisaka from .hack//Roots n_N

We both wear glasses (although Sakisaka seems to be wearing goggles) with a headpiece covering the upper head. He always wears that circular thing on his back that looks like a shell and his color scheme resembles a turtle/tortise. I like it, even if people are now calling me "pineapple head"

If I ever want a dream costume for halloween, Sakisaka would be it. ^_^

And as a plus, he has the catgirl Tabby who adores & clings to him (because Sakisaka is stuck being her teacher)

Hmm I've had this avatar for like forever (which is often as I change avatars elsewhere is a minor miracle). And does it need an explanation? ITS THE LAMBORGHINI EMBLEM, AND LAMBORGHINI IS THE KING OF CARS

Really? Thanks!

I think something more SEGA themed would be better this time 'round, a Phantasy Star Universe avatar would be cool. I like Ethan and Karen, so anything with either of them is good.

I like this picture of Karen, but I think the quality might not be high enough for a making a decent avatar. If you can't do anything with that one, then that's ok.

My sig is more important than my avatar. It's Tails looking like he's having a fine pleasures dance.

Here you go, Spite:

Avatar 1--Puyo Puyo Karen

Just C&P this in the 'edit profie' option(just remove those >'s)
< width=90 height=100>

Or you can use this one or save it to your computer for future use:

Avatar 2--Karen PSU

< width=85 height=100>

I'll go with bachelorette #1.

Thanks Ashide.

Edit: now I just realised something, Rie Tanaka voices Karen in the Japanese version of PSU, the same voice actress who played Lacus on Gundam SEED, my former avatar. Heh. Not long till PSU coems out... there goes my life again.

Michael Jackson's Moon Walker is such a good game, I took screencaps of him doing his most powerful move, the dance. I then animated it...

It's a .jpg of Darkwing & NegaDuck. It goes with my username. It also shows a scene of which I'm particularly fond, as NegaDuck gets the drop on Darkwing, quite literally...

DW

OTB, One Tru Sue, and Evil Lord Tru Blu, avatars for each respective alt/handle

Now, let's take a trip down memory lane...

Disco Ray! Everyones favourite dancing squirrel, used this back in '04. Taken from the Segasonic character selection screen.

And let's not forget...

The Christmas and Halloween variants. 😀

DANCE MY PRETTIES!

This one is from my "one true blu" account, which I use for kilo-saving moments and other crap. I dunno why I use this, I just do.

Handle from over on EB. Lass OTB, Pokmon trainer variant.

Those are all the important ones anyway. I don't think any of my other alts have avatars, some handles on EB do, but do I really need to explain my Fonz avatar for you?

What, this? This right here? Right. Those would be the Plantain Twins (aka Los Plantanos) from Kaiju Big Battel. It's live-action wrestling... but with monsters. Giant monsters. And with storylines and stuff. I stole it from a panel in the manga from the official site. You'll find some videos on the site and some matches on YouTube or something. Check it out sometime.

As for past avatars. Well, I guess I haven't had a very good history with them. As much as I don't really want to, I'm gonna go ahead and pull an HSW here.

This is something I made in MS Paint. Turned out pretty well for mouse art, I think. It was was just a touched-up transparent-ified version of my previous one which was this:

Which I made in response to the things people started saying about my previous avatar which was:

The cone / crotch megaphone / white robo penis. Really, I didn't intend for it to be like that. I made it when I was about 12 or so (about 4 years ago). I took Wes's avatar (who was Gotenks at the time I think) which was a sprite of Tails holding a pair of goggles. Dunno exactly what game it was from. But I took it, reworked it, all the crazy stuffs. The large gun was a machine I called the "Riot Blaster" - basically a giant friggen laser gun that could destroy maybe anything. I never used it like ever though. Really, I never ever noticed it. It was just a big gun being held at an unknowinly suggestive position. But it caused HSW to call me Cone Boy for a period of time. And I'm just gonna leave it at that.

This was the exact Tails sprite I used. You'll notice the ear, feet, and I guess hand are about the same.

Even moreso past avatars included this smiley which was found on some smiley website Anthony posted a while ago. The only other avatar I remember was the blue Dr. Mario germ that I hotlinked from another site.

As for Eliteboard avatars, this was just a piece of crap I threw together and this was a doodle found in one of my little doodling notebooks which I thought looked humorous. You know, in a very schadenfreude way.

Man, why are my posts starting to get so huge?

It's a screenshot from an animated segment of an Eminem video, "Role Model". The line it's illustrating is "Jumped in a cartoon with a cape on, beat up Foghorn Leghorn with an acorn".

The same picture is my avatar at last.fm, and it used to be my avatar at TSF.

A change of avatar was forthcoming.

Oh, Garnet. A princess so nice they designed her twice.

I remember seeing that design ages ago before FFIX came out. I didn't know it was meant to be Garnet. 0_o

You think that's drastic, you should see Vivi.

its from my homemade character sheet for the MFRPG. The attack/shredding animation.

Orignially the guitar looked perfectly like an Angus Young sig SG, but then I messed up and had to restart everything. Now it looks more like a firebird.

I drew it. It's just me hiding behind your screen, Green Gibbon-style. I chose it because I eventually hate every avatar I make, and I needed to come up with something.

I suppose I might as well reminisce on my previous avatars as HSW just did; he remembers them all anyway, I'm sure. From oldest to most recent: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Notice the gradual increase in quality and amount of hair. @#%$ crewcuts.

Notes:
- I don't even want to look at 1. I editted Craig's old avatar that has probably fallen off the internet to make it. I think I made about a dozen versions of it (I was, and still am, an obsessive perfectionist), including one that showed the whole body; unfortunately, I've deleted that particular copy. I linked to this pic for a few months from a Kodak Easyshare account before I realized that no one was able to see it, so I switched to Photobucket.

- 4 doesn't really count, since I only used it on a certain EB handle and on LJ. It was enlarged from those map sprites that were going to be used in the MFR...I can't say its name. I just can't.

- Remember the Foamy avatar? Yeah, neither do I, so it doesn't count.

- Remember Craig's "PWNED!!!!!11111" pic? Neither do I. Shut up.

Elvis Impersonator Cthulhu has owned you soul for like a year now because I'm too lazy to change it.

EDIT: I didn't know how old this avatar/sig combo was until I realized it linked to my LiveJournal o_O;;

My current one is one of the scarecrows from OoT and other Zelda games. I have no idea why I have it, but I just like it.

This is my current avatar for ezblarg. I'm going to change it soon though. Taking a pic and shrinking it like this doesn't make it look good.

As for a couple EB handles:

<-- current one for my Sailor Wind alt. I'm too lazy to make another one. Drawn myself.

<-- Also drawn myself, current avvie for my default handle.

<-- current avvie for my Chibi Sonic alt. Stolen from a sheet... I forget where.

<-- Crappy sprite edit of putting a blue handkerchief on a Pichu sprite from Pokemon Emerald.

<-- lastly, yet another drawn pic... it's old... For my Cream the Rabbit alt.

I've got some other little icons I haven't used yet, but I won't post them here.

My current avatar is of my fan-made character, Spiner. =O

Used one of the Megaman Zero rebel sprites, a city-scape background from one of the Sonic Advance games, and custom-made the head. =O

I think it looks pretty. =3

I now actually have an avatar!

I think it speaks for itself.

Zod willing, it will be replaced by a WINNER icon sometime during November, and probably disappear entirely shortly after December is upon us.

<----Umm I think mine is prolly the longest standing at what 5 years no change??

Umm yeah, its Super Sonic. Pooping out white...flaky..starpoops.

I do NEED no jusitication!
