How did you decide/get your avatar?

Also, I love your WW avy. I grew up on Zelda.

Thanks!

I've been a Zelda fan for a while as well, and Wind Waker is one of my favorite games of all time (it was also the first game I ever pre-ordered). Although I'll be honest, like I said, this is my eighth avatar, so I change my avatar a lot too.

I had to pick the Ghost Usher, he just comes off as creepy/strange in the subs and thats what I'm all about.

It's typical that my avatars depict Goten's visage to stress which series character is my favorite. My latest avatar, however, is an original character (Lemmy) from a book that I've written and am trying to get published.

I make all my own avatars. Here are some notables:

My previous avatar.

The same OC character as in my current avatar. Notice the SSJ-esque homage.

An oldie but a goodie.

Lemmy again. Even more of blatant ripoff of Super Saiyan than the last one!

The original from when I joined the forums-- it's Goten, a'course! But why I felt compelled to put my name on it, I have no idea . . .

Well... first, I had a picture of Kiba from Naruto, even though I dislike the show.

Then, I used a flipped avatar of one of the Sparking! Goku art pieces.

Then... NAPPA EX! I lost it unfortunately; it was great, someone photoshopped Mike into a bald man with a mole. It was a spammer, but it was incredible.

And now, here I am - Kurama. We were talking about Seinen in the chatroom when I was reading Yu Yu Hakusho, and Kunazit was explaining the darker art style; I asked if this picture was similar to what he was talking about, and he said yes. I think it's TOTALLY badass, which is why I picked it.

It's called an "Eyeslugger" and it's from Ultraseven. The beam is called the Emelium (or Emerium) Beam. That's probably why Chi Chi only used the helmet in one story--once is parody, more often is copyright infringement.

I've always felt Saiyaman 2 didn't get enough screen time :p

OHHHHHHHHH YOU ARE AWESOME.

(No. Seriously. I'd kill for a mini-series devoted to her and Saiyaman's adventures.)

Changed my avatar- yeah, the movie isn't that great but the pictures are.

Well, I seem to change my avatar frequently, even though I've only been here a year, I've had a good few.

This was my first avtar. It didn't last more than a few days. I thought it was kind of plain.

I had this one for a few weeks. I ended up replacing it, because I though it represented Freeza more as his dub self, which I liked, but still...too feminine

I just liked watching Freeza's head compress like that. This one, didn't last long either.

I saw that picture of Goku and that Kool-Aid gif next to each other, then it hit me. I loved this one, but I soon found one even more to my liking.

This is probably my favorite visually. It is from the ending credits of Kai. I ended up replacing it with something that was a bit more of an attention getter.

I had used this one in the past, but it didn't last long, then about a month or two ago, I came back to it. I wanted something that would be unique and associable with me. I found it on a Portugese fan site. It scared me, and I hope it did you too.

My new avatar comes from the cover of Kanzenban 21. It took off Freeza's head and removed the text. Then, for no good reason, I added some cheesy effects to it from photobucket.

Well, this current one is mixing two of my other favorite things other than DBZ or South Park.

It's L from Death Note. But, it's a custom Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum/HeartGold/SoulSilver styled sprite I made, that I shrunk down to the size of a Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald/FireRed/LeafGreen sprite.

Whoo.

I was watching Movie 1 today, and thought "God that would make a good avatar".

Good choice. That is one of my favorite movie fights.

Saiyavenger2941 · Post by **Saiyavenger2941** » Sun Jul 26, 2009 11:32 pm

I couldn't resist when I found this one. One of my favorite shots EVER.

Forget movies, I'd say one of the best in the entire series. It's so greatly choreographed, not just "LAWL BIG SFX AND LIGHTS" like in the series. In fact, the whole of Movie 1 was awesome. Definitely my favorite movie.

The Sailor Moon reference was brilliant too.

That avatar was perfect for you, why'd you change so fast? :(

Heh, the new Doctor Who special trailer kinda prompted me! (John Simm as The Master is the greatest villain ever!)

I'll probably change it back when I get back home though, thanks to your comment.

These were my old avatars. I started with Murasaki but I switched to Sun Wukong

I wanted to use this one, but I really wanted to have a Niizuma avatar, and so...

Why did I read "Big SEX and Lights"?

Ugh, Okay Big Momma...time for bed...

On-Topic: Yep, same avatar I've always had. Gotta love the classics
