Same! Doesn't his avatar kinda look like GT Gohan in Dr. Slump style art. :lol:
:lol: Looking at it, it really does. I can see how someone would think that now haha.

A tad bit off topic, but this is what he looks like in the original work - not very Gohan-ish at all.

Next to Dragon Ball, Code Geass is one of my favorite anime of all time.

And Lelouch/Zero just happens to be my favorite character out of all of them.

That's precisely why ordinary men pursue the concept of perfection, it's infatuation. But ultimately I have to ask myself "What is the true meaning of being perfect?" and the answer I came up with was nothing. Not one thing. The truth of the matter is I despise perfection! If something is truly perfect, that's IT! The bottom line becomes there is no room for imagination! No space for intelligence or ability or improvement! Do you understand? To men of science like us, perfection is a dead end, a condition of hopelessness. Always strive to be better than anything that came before you but not perfect! Scientist's agonize over the attempt to achieve perfection! That's the kind of creatures we are! We take joy in trying to exceed our grasp, in trying to reach for something that in the end, we have to admit may in fact be unreachable!"

Here we go. My first avatar was 2nd form Freeza from an eyecatch in Dragon Ball Kai. My second avatar was Chilled's hilarious reaction face to SSJ Bardock in Episode of Bardock. My current avatar is Broli Miku. The reason I used those two avatars is because Freeza is my favorite character in Dragon Ball. The reason I am using my current avatar is because now that I don't like Broli so much, I want him humiliated any way possible.

Changed it to Maka from the cover of Gangan in celebration of Chapter 100 for Soul Eater! It's so suggestive and innocent because it's Maka :lol:

Ain't changed mine in who knows how long. I guess I need to be overwhelmed by an irresistibly cute Goten before I'll change the one I've got.

I used to change my avatar a lot, but I'm hoping to stay with this one. I've had this one since January, so I'm doing pretty good so far.

Mine is a picture of Ranma from the anime "Ranma 1/2" currently. Not the best series but a classic in my opinion.

I just go with an avatar that looks good with my username. I just got it changed. I've had the Vegetto avatar for almost 3 years now so I decided to part way with it. :)

I still keep the same avatar on my Twitter though.

I really enjoyed having the Lucky Star Z avatars but I decided to go back to having Len Kagamine as my avatar.

I didn't mean it in a harsh way :shock: , its just... the repetitive storylines... Ryoga "runs away" every 12 episodes I swear... But like I said, it has its moments where it is an amazing series.

Love fighting games, love Vegeta. So you'll see me primarly in the fighting game section.

Tekken's Kazuya is Vegeta inspired. Hence my avatar :P

Might choose Lars next because he is Goku inspired (the hair SSJ form),

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

Well, now to go with the theme of Rumiko Takahashi anime shows, my new avatar is InuYasha, who is basically the same as Ranma but half-demon... Sit boy.

Decided to commemorate my 10,000-post landmark with a Bardock avatar (since his power level is 10,000, get it?). Hunted around for a good image to use, and was having trouble finding one until I thought to look in, whaddyaknow, the avatars thread. A few pages back, Tanooki Kuribo had posted a similar avatar to this, but was also nice enough to provide the original image. I took that, cropped it to my liking, removed the background image, added a nifty soft glow effect, and... shazam.

I really do love how this one looks. I'll probably stick with it for quite a while (unless something else amazing pops up and swipes my affections away).

I just made my very first avatar (after like 300 posts, I guess it was about time! :D).
Compared to other avatars which depict humorous situations or different interpretations, other works and all, I have to say mine is pretty uncomplicated, but it's kinda like me then. :roll:
I have to thank the Dragon Ball Character Project on this forum for giving us such wonderful HD renders for many characters! 8)

Where did it come from? Well, I'm kinda making a quick mini-encyclopedia as a gift for a friend (very basic, with just a few lines summing up what each character is about, kinda like a Pokédex, I guess it would be a "Dragondex" somehow). And since I quickly create a square-shaped avatar for each entry, using the Character Project renders - which makes that any entry has to be part of the Character Project -, I thought "good, I just have to downscale one of them and use it as an avatar, it's about time I have one!". :wink:
