How did you decide/get your avatar?

A recent Pokamon discussion that took place here had revived my interest in Pokemans, and I've been playing Sapphire quite a bit lately. Music's great. Graphics are great. The color... can not be found anywhere else! [/Street Fighter II Champion Edition Promo reference]

The manga arc (Pokemon Adventures) was great as well, although I really didn't dig Brenden/Ruby's personality (he was... really feminine...) much, but May/Sapphire reminded me of a female Goku... Probably the whole accent and speech mannerisms, and the whole "livin' in the wild" theme going on there...(she didn't really live there, but she considered it her second home.) She also was obsessed with Pokemon battles, whereas Brenden/Ruby was obsessed with... their beauty...

Might change it to a Street Fighter one sooner or later due to my additional Street Fighter phase I am going through right now as well. I've been playing Alpha 3 on the GBA(Amazing port, and better in almost every way to the original) a ton as well, and it is as tough as nails!

Haha!

Something interesting I should note is that I have a weird tendency to play as the characters whose manga name corresponds with the games name. For example, in Gold I play as Gold, in Crystal, Crystal, in Ruby, Brendan/Ruby, in Sapphire, May/Sapphire, and in games like Silver or Emerald that don't have the characters from the manga, or doesn't have them playable, I pick who I want (or in the earlier games the only playable character.

)

I forgot to mention that I drew it. It feels good to use an avatar drawn by yourself!

I wonder if your next avatar will be bloodier?

Not one to judge but...

Maybe his next avatar will look something like this?

That's just too sick. I guess some people love cannbalism.

I just cropped it from that big double page colour spread somewhere in the 22nd tournament. An avatar of Chaozu seemed appropriate.

Eventually Kunzait's avatar will just be a solid red square.

Hey, that was what I was aiming for... I just am not good at drawing violence...

I was close!

What are you talking about? It's not a solid gray square, it's a picture of Suke-san!

Kunzait is obviously a guro fetishist.

welcome to the club my friend

If any normal person doesn't want to projectile vomit all over your screen, I suggest not Googleing that. You have been warned.

HA HA OH WOW, best thing I've ever done.

I forget people don't know the bizarre terminology that seems like a second language to me.

I suppose naivety would make that funny and I hate to rain on your parade, but I already knew what it was. I didn't actually Google it. It was a fair warning to those who haven't been exposed to it. I know we have a couple of youngans' here. If somebody names something I've never heard of, my first instinct is to highlight>left click>Search for on Google.

You're an easily offended lad aren't you?

Found this one on a Livejournal community, actually. Not a lot of love for characters other than Vegeta or Goku, so finding a halfway decent Videl one, especially as Saiyagirl, was a treat for me.

The Sailor Moon reference was brilliant too.

Well now, how do I respond to this without being ironic? I didn't post that in defense, I'm not offended.

Sigh... You can never really be sure what somebody's tone is in written English.

Damn right! A sorely overlooked character.

What can I say? I'm a Kunzait poser.

This came from a risque picture but I cropped out the naughty bits.

You've geeked out on fucked up gore almost as much as I have on numerous occasions since we've known each other (we just finished reminiscing earlier today about our mutual growing up with Evil Dead when we were kids). Don't play innocent in front of the Shonen "Straw Hats unite! Adventure and friendship and sharing ahoy!" crowd here. Your hands are just as dirty as mine.

You're point? It isn't like I'm throwing the tree rape scene up here or anything.

As I recall, didn’t you also have one from Gremlins, and another from Nosferatu?

Ah, I did have a Gremlins (2) one. I may have tried my Nosferatu one here, and if so it probably got me in trouble. It exceeds this forums avatar limits, but I do use that one elsewhere.

Since I originally joined the forum so I could reply to comments on my rendition of Cha La Head Cha La, this seemed appropriate. The picture is drawn freehand, based on the first time Goku's tail gets cut off, with Oolong's pants replaced by his usual outfit (though I missed the seam in the pants), and the usual kanji replaced with "Shima," short for "Shimarisu" ("Chipmunk," though literally "Stripe Squirrel," or, even more literally, "Stripe Chestnut Rat"--Hey! Educating and a little bit of entertaining!).

I hope it's at least recognizable as a chipmunk tail...
