After using the South Park style Freeza avatar for so long, I decided to switch it up. Still stuck with the South Park theme, but this time I used Birus who in the SP style, I made just a regular looking cat, haha.

Super Saiyan God Goku looks cool, so I made him my avatar. :P
James Teal (Animerica 1996) wrote:When you think about it, there are a number of similarities between the Chinese-inspired Son Goku and that most American of superhero icons, Superman. Both are aliens sent to Earth shortly after birth to escape the destruction of their homeworlds; both possess super-strength, flight, super-speed, heightened senses and the ability to cast energy blasts. But the crucial difference between them lies not only in how they view the world, but in how the world views them.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter. The more down-to-earth Goku has no illusions about being responsible for maintaining social order, or for setting some kind of moral example for the entire world. Goku is simply a martial artist who’s devoted his life toward perfecting his fighting skills and other abilities. Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

I just liked the look of Vegeta eating. :P
I want an avatar of Vegeta from BOG, but I'm going to wait until we get high quality pictures of different scenes.

It does look pretty good as your avatar, there.

Mine is just something I saw recently in the avatar's thread that I liked.

I was watching the Pioneer movie DVDs that I just got, and really liked this shot of Goku. Since I'm such a happy guy (usually :P), I made this happy Goku my avatar for now. :D

Since it's not long until the 3rd anniversary of when I joined this forum I decided to celebrate by using an avatar that's mostly the same as the first one I can ever recall using on this forum.

I just custom made this one from the panel of SSJ Gohan in volume 36, re colored him with black hair (for the "Ultimate" effect), colored his skin and gave the sky some color.

Y'know, when I first saw this avatar I thought it was supposed to be some sort of statement on the Super Saiyan Gohan "controversy". :P

Yeah, I'm weak... :lol: I swear, I think I have OCD or something. :crazy:


It was just me foolin' around on Photoshop and I happened to have a scan of a page from vol. 36 laying around on my computer. I made a better version the next day.

I do realize it's only been 3 days, but this screenshot (well, scan really) was posted in the BOG thread and I had to grab him. *u*

I'm still loving Kuririn's new look in Battle of Gods way too much, but I had gotten kind of tired of my previous avatar for him...so I decided to use this quick shot of him from the DBZ/OP/Toriko crossover special for a while instead.

This comes from a picture with Piccolo, Trunks, Goten, and Gohan from Battle of Gods. I edited the picture around Goten a bit, and turned it into an avatar.

I mean, you can't go wrong with Goten in a tux. :wink:

Lemmy must be so proud of me for making yet another Goten avatar...

Always liked this shot of GInyu, so I'm using it for now. I like the intense shading; it makes him look intimidating. Plus, it reminds me of those Kai soundtrack covers. :lol:

I know people don't like it when I change avatars too often, but I just wanna keep things fresh, and I suck at deciding things. :P

I am a man on a mission: Collect every instance of BLEACH's Ichigo Kurosaki frowning outside of the manga proper drawn by author Tite Kubo. A very odd, nerdy, specific mission.
