I just still can't wrap my brain around the fact that the world no longer has Robin Williams in it, so please excuse me while I try and cope with that a little more by paying tribute to one of my other favorite roles for him via my avatar space - that role being Batty from Ferngully of course.
Touche, one of the few celebrity deaths that makes me legitimately upset.
All right, I went long enough without a Kuririn avatar. It was starting to feel...off. So now it's back to everyone's favorite guy who's head can be used to replace the moon!

I decided to get a Dragon Ball theme avatar and looked through my screenshot folder, there are others I might use eventually but for now I'm gonna use Earth's true hero, Mark! Or his stage name, Mr. Satan!
(not Hercule)
thomas1up are fuckin terrible and need to fuck off asap all the other noobs are decent thouhg
Because I felt I haven't updated my avi in a while. (Found that I last updated in March).
Ssjg Gokû, making a heart-shape with his hands. :3
Because being powered by pure-hearted feelings means you can shoot heart-shaped ki blasts of love at your opponents, but not really.
He's totally got a pink ki attack in Zenkai Battle Royale though.
I tried to resize it so I could show more of his hair, but it wasn't to my liking so I just cropped 50% size instead. ^^
Battle of Gods coming in and me giving the extended version a re-watch on my computer and with headphones, I decided it was only right to go back to a Battle of Gods Kuririn avatar for a while.

Because I like Gohan & Tails. Though I'm not sure the avatar looks that great quality wise since I handled it instead of letting someone more experienced do the re-sizing.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.
So I was just shown this...simply amazing piece of work...right here...and I thought to myself 'Now, Gyt, this derp Kuririn face will be an amazing addition to your avatar roster'. And I don't always listen to myself when I talk to myself - cuz that'd be crazy right? - but you know? I think this time I was right.
Derpillin will now stare into your souls for a while. Happy Halloween.

With the official Japanese website updating with some nice, cleaner art from the new poster for 'Fukkatsu no F', I decided to crop a bit from the Kuririn one and celebrate with an avatar from it.
So this makes Kuririn avatar #9001 or so, right? It just feels wrong any time I don't sport an avatar of him here now.

He's going to get to do main cast stuff this time around; I'm curious to find out what. :3
Re: my current avi
I'm going to stick with my bishounen senshi Gokû at least until the official DB15 site uploads their Character page and see what the sample art looks like.
My second "ssjg Gokû in the style of Sailor Moon Crystal" avatar; time will tell if this becomes a pattern or not. XD
This one's in his "Fukkatsu no F" dogi.
